Romney’s “Two Witnesses” December 21, 2007
Posted by Paul Edwards in Mitt Romney.trackback
Politico, with the help of the Romney Campaign, has dug up two witnesses to support Mitt Romney’s claim that his father, former Michigan Governor George Romney, “saw” his father march with Martin Luther King, Jr. Interesting, isn’t it, that after the Romney campaign has spent two days reframing Mitt’s recollection as “figuratively” speaking, they now have found two witnesses who counter their own spin! LOL
One of the witnesses says both the governor and Martin Luther King walked right past her “hand in hand,”
Shirley Basore, 72, says she was sitting in the hairdresser’s chair in wealthy Grosse Pointe, Mich., back in 1963 when a rumpus started and she discovered that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and her governor, George Romney, were marching for civil rights — right past the window.
With the cape still around her neck, Basore went outside and joined the parade.
“They were hand in hand,” recalled Basore, a former high-school English teacher. “They led the march. We all swung our hands, and they held their hands up above everybody else’s.”
This account, however, appears to be a case of time lapse embellishment. There is absolutely no historical record of George Romney ever marching with MLK:
Huckabee hound is down with heretics Kenneth Copeland and John Hagee. Please consider that fact in your decision to support him.
I chose my poison: support a candidate who is totally committed to the heresy of the LDS church or a candidate who for expediency is accepting support from groups whose views he personally does not share. I cringe every time Huckabee turns up in a photo/op with the Word/Faith preachers, but I also cringe whenever President Bush stands between a Jew and a Muslim and declares we all worship the same God.
I’m having long hard times on my knees in prayer over who my candidate will be. Paul, as you said, we’re not voting for “Pastor in Chief”, but for the Commander in Chief. What a man believes and DOES though will reflect on his ability to lead. A president can’t do it alone - he has to choose people to lead for and with him. So, do I choose a man who lives the heresy of the LDS or a man who calls another man who financially rapes Christians in the name of God his “mentor”? Maybe McCain is looking better…….
Some further thoughts…..sorry Paul, you know I love you brother, but I wonder if you’re becoming the “Hugh Hewitt” of the Romney campaign……Listening to your show and reading the blog I get the impression that Mitt has no redeaming characteristics whatsoever.
Ed,
Just call me the “anti-Hewitt” or equal time to Hewitt. There have just been so many distorations coming out of the Romney camp against Huckabee I feel compelled to use my platform to set the record straight.
Mitt Romney has MANY redeeming qualities. His supporters with their relentless attacks on Huckabee, however, have totally turned me off. If Romney ends up being the Republican nominee I do not see how the Romney campaign will ever heal the rift they have created between themselves as social conservative evangelicals.
As to the content of this post;
“The best value to the truth is that you never have to remember what you said.” G.B.VICK circa around 1970. Sitting at the dinning hall table in the lower level of the TBC, munching on some of Mrs. Zimmerman’s feast, (peach cobbler as usual) at a Thursday afternoon “calling” lunch, this dear Pastor furthered his statement with these sentiments; (quote will not be exact) ‘if a man will get into the habit of always telling the truth he will not have to think of what he said before he speaks’.
~~~~~~~~~~The “TRUTH” is a sinners greatest asset.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~Worthy the Lamb, that was slain!
(at the thought of my Savior, all else pales) again;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~Worthy the Lamb, that was slain!
May the Lord bless our thoughts this Christmas season,
don and family
I think that “rift” was created by all the 501s that attacked every candidate except Huckabee. John McCain, can’t vote for him because of McCain-Fiengold. Fred Thompson, he was not a real Christian. Mitt Romney, well, July 5, gary glenn, joe carter, and wildmon attacked he for his association with Marriott. And well, Giuliani was absolutely hammered by the 501 crowd.
And now, us, “establishment”, non—> 501s people, should vote for Huckabee. No. We need some changes, alright.
