It’s doubtful that anyone needs any more reasons to explain why Americans are fed up with politics as usual. Nevertheless, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has given us one more.
Apparently when Romney said, “I saw my father march with Martin Luther King,” in his much publicized “Faith in America” speech, this was not exactly true.
It appears that not only did Romney not see this, but there is serious doubt whether his father ever indeed did march with Dr. King.
Romney now says that he meant this “figuratively.”
According to the former Massachusetts governor, “If you look at the literature or the dictionary the term ‘saw’ includes being aware of in the sense I have described. It is a figure of speech.”
We haven’t seen a politician parse a sentence like this since Bill Clinton dissected the meaning of the verb “is” and explained that it was Monica who had sex with him and not the other way around.
The next sentence in the speech following the King claim was, “I saw my parents provide compassionate care to others, in personal ways nearby. …” Also figuratively?
The Detroit Free Press says that it has no record of Romney’s father, one-time Michigan Gov. George Romney, ever marching with King. According to the Free Press, when Dr. King marched in Detroit, their archives show that Romney’s father did not participate because he said his religion prohibited him from public appearances on Sunday.

That’s just his mormonism coming out. You know, like after Joseph Smith died and the church fathers that said they had seen the gold tablets then clarified by saying, “we saw them with the eyes of faith.”
If that doesn’t deserve an LOL, nothing does.
RINOmney...a whiter shade of fail.
(Shamlessly copied and changed slightly from an earlier brilliant post.)
Romney’s lies more than he tells the truth.It’s too bad that most republicans are not aware of who romney really is.
It’s a shame that we have to vote for this guy in November. And yes I’m going to vote for this a$$hat, if he is the nominee.
ANYBODY BUT OBAMA! sorry, but I love this country more than I hate Romney.
write in candidate for me.
LOL! So what’s your option? Romney is going to be the nominee. The MSM has seen to that.
Yep, then Obama has won. I hope everyone here will be thrilled.
I used to think the way you “holier than thou” pubbies do. I changed my mind because this nation’s survival is at stake and I love her way too much to throw her under the bus.
America as we have known it is done.
It’s not too late.
