More trouble for Romney

Posted by David Hardy · 23 December 2007 10:42 AM

His speech a while back mentioned watching his father march with Martin Luther King, in Grosse Point, MI. Then it was shown he wasn't there, and he explained he didn't mean "saw" literally.

Then the issue arose whether his father had marched with Dr. King at all.

His campaign came up with two witnesses that said they'd seen the two marching there, back 40+ years ago. OK, that was impressive, and the story seemed at an end.

But the Boston Phoenix, which broke the original story, has investigated and reports that on that day Dr. King wasn't in Michigan, he was speaking to the AFL-CIO in Brunswick, NJ.

Via the Carpetbagger Report.

Sounds a lot like Bill Clinton recalling all those church burnings when he was a kid in Arkansas.

We need a higher standard of morality for politicians in this country. All politicians. We need to have zero tolerance for lying.

The FIRST time a politician gets caught in a deliberate lie, that should be all for them. The MSM got most of their power over us when we ceded judgment of politicians to them.

When this Nation was in it's infancy, a politician was beholden to his constituents, period. Now, politicians are beholden only to the MSM and the big-money backers, but mostly the MSM.

Let's take back our political system from the MSM by scratching any politician off of our lists for consideration any time they tell a lie, or at least when that lie is discovered.

When politicians realize that the truth is the most important political commodity they can own, we will have our country back, not until then.

You beat me to it, Ken, I was going to reference at least Romney didn't claim to have seen black churches burning. Although Bill Clinton was the right age at the same time to have been a small child hooded klansperson opposing school integration in Little Rock in 1954. Oh, and he claims not to have inhaled..............
