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. Before that, his Dad was working his way up the ladder just like millions of other Americans. George, the father, was a hard worker, a go getter, and had the gift of gab that made him a spokesman for the auto industry during WWII. But he was married and his eldest 2 children were born pre-War and it was very much still the Depression. He lived the American Dream of that era, no college degree, self-made, pulled himself out of poverty and up the ladder to be a CEO and get elected to the Governorship of Michigan and in later life HUD Secretary. He taught his children to be frugal, industrious, and to respect the value of a dollar.

Welcome to FR.

Mitt Romney is Pro-abortion, pro-homosexuals having more rights and elevated rights than you or I have, pro-banning guns, pro-government run healthcare.
He’s a liberal.
Doesn’t matter what his alleged background is, he is NOT a conservative and is NOT suited to run this country.

[Psalm 144]

And mom taught him abortions are good. Wasn’t lil’ Mitt the lucky little embryo?

That is utter nonsense!

Myth was born in 1947, George had major positions lobbying for the auto industry BEFORE Myth was born and took a senior executive position with what would become American Motors when Myth was still a newborn.

It seems that you joined yesterday and your only post thus far is to push Myth Romney.

This is a conservative, pro-life forum and we don't like leftist abortionists like Romney.

I have a feeling your time here will be brief.

IBTZ!

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!!
