Your second and third things never happened. Yes, it appears Romney was hoping King would endorse him. And in fact, if you look at King’s endorsement speech, it really looks like it was written as an endorsement of Romney, as it doesn’t mention him and it attacks Fred Thompson, and even the last paragraph which would have been re-written to change the endorsement to Thompson wasn’t all that kind to Fred Thompson.
But Romney never said he had King’s endorsement.
And he never said the NRA endorsed him. He said they supported him, which apparently was true, if the report that a local chapter of the NRA ran a phone bank for him is correct. He also said the endorsed his actions as governor, which is true since they endorsed his work on the AWB ban.

Straight talk is all I look for. Hard as I tried I cant find that in Romney. If you think some Freepers are bad, wait until the general election comes around if he gets the nod.
The Dems will be brutal and there is just too much that he is giving them to use. He has had to back track too many times.
And even in his backtracks...the first example that I “saw” was his statement of apology or lack of apology for when he compared his kids working on his campaign to serving our country like the kids in Iraq. I watched him as a father of an Iraq soldier confronted him about it. and sorry it was just plain lame.
You can stick up for him all you want. But this is just a warm up for what will happen when and if he gets the nomination.

Yes, he did:
“I just talked about, about guns. I told you what my position was, and what I, what I did as governor; the fact that I received the endorsement of the NRA.”
