Romney’s CLINTONIAN response to evidence that neither him nor his Dad marched with MLK:
Romney said his father had told him he had marched with King and that he had been using the word “saw” in a “figurative sense.”

“If you look at the literature, if you look at the dictionary, the term ’saw’ includes being aware of in the sense I’ve described,” Romney told reporters in Iowa. “It’s a figure of speech and very familiar, and it’s very common. And I saw my dad march with Martin Luther King. I did not see it with my own eyes, but I saw him in the sense of being aware of his participation in that great effort.”

Again, why do you feel a need to attack Reagan and Bush (who was President on 9/11) who came to office with little foreign policy "experience"? When you're not attacking the Romney family for supporting civil rights in the MLK era you're ripping Republican Presidents. For shame. P.S. Why don't you show some class and post a correction on your nutsy-McCain hit job-WW story before the NH Primary? If you work in Republican politics, your boss is an idiot.
