I can’t see for the life of me why Mitt is such a bad option.

What are you talking about? George Romney and his family were so poor, they were digging potatoes to stay alive. He was a self-made man and did not really make any money until Mitt, the youngest, was about 12 or 13.

George Romney Bio info:

In 1939 he moved to Detroit and joined the American Automobile Manufacturers Association, where he served as the chief spokesperson for the automobile industry during World War II and headed a cooperative arrangement in which companies could share production improvements. He joined Nash-Kelvinator in 1948, and became chairman and CEO of its successor, American Motors Corporation in 1954. There he turned around the struggling firm by focusing all efforts on the smaller Rambler car. Romney mocked the products of the "Big Three" automakers as "gas-guzzling dinosaurs" and became one of the first high-profile, media-savvy business executives.

Mitt Romney info:

Willard Mitt Romney (born March 12, 1947) is an American businessman and politician.

Ok Sara, here's the facts: Mitt Romney was born after George Romney was already a high paid executive and Mitt was only 7 when his father became CEO of American Motors.

Yeah, Mitt grew up in poverty (when compared to the way he lives now). /s

Picking potatoes? LOL!!

Sara, Mitt Romney did not come from an underprivilege family. Nor did his father. His grandparents were sent by the Mormon church to Mexico to head up their polygamy unit there, and it was there that Mitt's dad was born. The Mexico Romney's were well off, but a revolution in Mexico forced them to flee to the US where it took little time to get their feet back on the ground. His dad married Lenore LaFount whose connected father was appointed by then Pres. Coolidge to the Federal Radio Commission. Romney himself was from one of the original big-deal families in Mormonism with his mom being a Pratt.

With that kind of power adding wind to his sails, George Romney's rise was apparently despite either his academic or athletic ability. IOW, he was helped.

Mitt Romney himself was born with a silver spoon in his mouth in 1947, and was accepted into a lucrative leadership position at Bain Capital because of those connections. IOW, he was a blue-blood and, therefore, worthy of being dubbed a peer of the glitterati.

He was in no way whatsoever a struggling commoner who clawed his way to the top. That would be Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Rick Perry. Newt's dad deserted his family. Santorum's was a coal miner. Perry's a rancher.

I don't know if I'm IBTZ or not, but this is a Pro-Life website and Romney is not.
