His father, George Romney, was CEO of American Motors, was governor of Michigan, and even ran for President, but interestingly was born in Mexico. His family (grandparents, I think) had gone to Mexico because of persecution of polygamists in the US. George was a Mexican.

George Romney lost his presidential bid when he returned from a trip to Vietnam during the war and claimed that he had been “brainwashed.”

Thereafter, he became anti-war.

See #16.

Explains how Romney supports illegal amnesty and hired illegals, doesn’t it?

Right! But the Romulan of course "longed to be in Vietnam" while he was yucking it up on the LEFT bank of Paris during that time...and got a student deferment to finish college after his almost 3-year "ministerial deferment" ran out (the same kind denied to Muhammad Ali)!

I guess a little technicality like the Constitution is not going to get in the way of a Romney who is bent on becoming president.

I never forgave George Romney for killing the Nash and the Hudson.


1957 Nash Ambassador


1957 Hudson Hornet
