Mitt channels Santorum
It just sounds wrong.. Was the mixed up order of life events mentioned in Mitt’s statement just Mitt trying to reach out to Santorum’s country bumpkins who attempted that route.. Romney borrows a page from Santorum
Romney said in a speech via satellite to the Faith and Freedom Conference in Washington. He gave Santorum credit for “reminding us” that getting married, graduating from high school, and having a job have been proven to substantially cut poverty rates. The idea was central to the former Pennsylvania senator’s stump speech.
Then there was this anecdote that was supposed to demonstrate the importance of having an anchor in life But what it really shows is an example of people apparently ignorant of water sports safety. A water skier drowned because the boater didn’t drop his anchor when retrieving him.. What no life vest?
Romney said a friend once relayed to him a story about his son attempting to save a water skier who had gotten into trouble. The son dove into the water from a pleasure boat, but the boat had no anchor, and so drifted away from the struggling pair. The water skier ultimately drowned, and his friend said he learned to always have an anchor on board. The story, Romney said, pointed out the importance of families as “anchors” in life.
