“IF Romney has been lying about his political resume (and he has)”

No he hasn’t. He described his father as a Civil Rights leader, which he was:

http://occidentalvalues.blogspot.com/2007/12/george-romney-and-martin-luther-king.html
“If in fact thorough research (which will take some time) shows that either 1) Romney and King did march together or 2)These historians and reporters were citing each other on a mistaken fact as to the June 23, 1963 march, the fact remains that George Romney did indeed lead a march for Civil Rights (whether or not King was with him at the time) and that George Romney was a Civil Rights leader in general and that he marched in solidarity with King in immediate response to Selma—the most defining Civil Rights episode of the era.”

What we dont need is to fall for gotcha politics to such a degree that a man is called a liar for stating things remembered by witnesses and written up as fact in multiple history books. The Romney campaign made the correct clarification already.

No he hasn’t.

Yes he has:

"Mitt Romney went a step further in a 1978 interview with the Boston Herald. Talking about the Mormon Church and racial discrimination, he said: "My father and I marched with Martin Luther King Jr. through the streets of Detroit."

Face it. Romney is a liar on a par with Clinton.

Clinton: I saw church burnings in Arkansas.
Romney: I marched with Martin Luther King.

Do you really want this clown for president?
