You all keep talking about the civil rights record of George Romney. Is George Romney running for President in 2007 or is it his son Myth? If it's Myth, then, I don't give a rat's a$$ about his father's record on civil rights. It's absolutely of no relevance now! We're looking at Myth's record - and it's flipped-flopped continuously over the years depending on what office he's running for.
George Romney had an exemplary civil rights record, and that’s the tradition in which Mitt was raised. Some folks have pointed to Mormon church teachings in an attempt to paint Mitt as a bigot, an attack I consider baseless.
That’s where the relevance of this story begins and ends. Why it persists — and why Mitt himself stupidly keeps it alive — is beyond me.
They only reason we're talking about it is because the Mitt haters are attempting to tarr his family as racists because they happen to belong to a Church that didn't ordain blacks until 1978. His Dad's record refutes this spurious charge.

He changed his mind on abortion. People grow. As a pro-lifer, you should be happy such a man has come to our side. I know I am.
