Interesting. Bump
Ive been saying for a while that you have to look at the type of guy George Romney was. I know a son doesnt have to be besmirched by the sins of the father but Mitt has never said his father was necessarily wrong on anything (other than releasing 12 years of taxes at once). Anyway, George Romney was a liberal and a vocal opponent of Reagan. And his son must be stopped.
WOW!..that could be a zinger for Newt!..He’s brought up Alinsky before, knowing full well the average voter has never heard of him....Tell the voters who haven’t to “Google†Alinsky.. do your own due diligence..and then check out the Romney book from 1968 where Willard Romney actually acknowledged that Alinsky had a “Strong influence” on his son according to “RomneyÂ’s Way” a 1968 book by T. George Harris.....Let the electorate become involved in the race

1) Cities were burning in the 1960s. "Community organization" looked like a positive alternative to violence. Or would more riots have been a better idea?
2) George Romney's generation did a lot to bulldoze America's cities. He may have felt guilty. The first effect of "community organization" was to stifle the urban renewal and highway building projects that displaced thousands of people. Was that a bad thing? Whatever else came along afterward -- ACORN style shakedowns, etc. -- was it really a bad thing that people couldn't simply be pushed around by arrogant government planners?
Maybe the Magic Mormon Underwear protected George Romney.
He ran for POTUS and he was born in Mexico!
The Mormon factor was never brought up.
