Mitt Romney Walked Out on Barry Goldwater at the 1964 Republican Convention

The 1964 Republican National Convention was full of drama thanks to the Romney family. The nominee was conservative, very conservative, and the Romney family led by George Romney, the governor of Michigan who ran for president was progressive. The Romney family was part of the Rockefeller arm of the Republican party--those country club types that are moderate and liberal.

You may remember George Romney led a walkout at the 1964 Republican National Convention as Barry Goldwater was nominated because of Goldwater's conservative beliefs. It turns out Mitt Romney was at the convention and probably part of that walkout since he was with his dad and considers his dad his political mentor.

New photos have surfaced of Mitt Romney at the 1964 Republican National Convention. As you will see, Romney was on the floor of the convention with his dad.

Now many of you conservatives justifying your vote for Romney claim he is a conservative despite his liberal record. It may actually be that Romney hates conservatives just like his dad and the roots of that hate center around this conventions. In interviews and appearances, Romney definitely doesn't appear comfortable parading around the country as a conservative, and his campaign was eager to shake up the Etch-a-Sketch.

If you want to know who Mitt Romney is, I would start by asking him about the 1964 convention and his thoughts on Barry Goldwater.
