Walter De Vries, an aide of George Romney's for seven years in the '60s, just came forward with some interesting commentary regarding George's son and Republican presidential candidate Mitt.
De Vries wrote that Mitt Romney's current campaign is "a far cry from the kind of campaign and conduct, as a public servant, I saw during the seven years I worked in George Romney's campaigns and served him as governor."
He continued with, "While it seems that Mitt would say and do anything to close a deal - or an election, George Romney's strength as a politician and public officeholder was his ability and determination to develop and hold consistent policy positions over his life."
De Vries also seems befuddled on Mitt's claims that his father played a major influence on him throughout his political career, as he said with regard to this, "I just don't see it. Where is it? Is it on issues, no? On the way he campaigns? No. George would never have been seen with the likes of Sheldon Adelson or Donald Trump."
The former George Romney aide also made it known that he intends on voting for Obama over Mitt - George's son - in November.
Well, if that isn't quite the endorsement for President Obama's re-election and quite the blow to Mitt Romney's election bid. Mr. De Vries should further the cause by releasing the following ad:
"I know Mitt Romney. I worked with his father, George, when he was the Governor of Michigan. George Romney was a great man - a man with principles, a man I was proud to work for. If there's one thing I know better than addition, it's that Mitt is nothing like his father. His father was consistent. If Mitt is consistent, my name is Fred Flintstone. But, no, that's not my name. My name is Walter De Vries. I was an aide of George Romney's for seven years in the '60s and will be voting for Barack Obama in November. Mitt Romney's own father would be ashamed of his son, except for his hair, and I'm ashamed for him. I'm Walter De Vries and I approve this message."
