Did Mitt lie about crapping in a bucket?

US election 2012: Mitt Romney's life as a poor Mormon missionary in France questioned

 It was a rare reflection by Mitt Romney on his life as a young Mormon, offered as proof to struggling Americans that despite being born into privilege and amassing a $250 million fortune, he too had known hard times.
 
A day after being labelled “out of touch” for casually offering a $10,000 bet to a rival candidate, Mr Romney told supporters he had experienced austerity as a missionary in France, using a bucket for a lavatory and a hose for a shower. “You’re not living high on the hog at that kind of level,” he said.
 
But the Republican presidential hopeful spent a significant portion of his 30-month mission in a Paris mansion described by fellow American missionaries to The Daily Telegraph as “palace”. It featured stained glass windows, chandeliers, and an extensive art collection. It was staffed by two servants – a Spanish chef and a houseboy.
 
Although he spent time in other French cities, for most of 1968, Mr Romney lived in the Mission Home, a 19th century neoclassical building in the French capital’s chic 16th arrondissement. “It was a house built by and for rich people,” said Richard Anderson, the son of the mission president at the time of Mr Romney’s stay. “I would describe it as a palace”.

The stuff that passes as news (and the sheeple like you that eat it up) these days is astounding.

Honestly, you REALLY care about where Mitt took a shit decades ago?

Mitt looked good tonight despite the abortion bs.   I have to admit, even though he is not my fav by far, I could easily sleep at night with him as prez.

If mitt is making up lies - "I crapped in a bucket" when in reality he lived in a mansion...

And he's lying about it, so he can steal away the nomination from a Ron paul who served his country...

Then yeah, it's news.  If obama came out and said "I spent my college years in the peace corps (instead of snorting coke all day) - hell yes, that kind of lie to gain curry with oters would certainly matter.

Did he spend every waking moment in that "palace"? If you can't substantiate that then fuck right off. This whole "gotcha" shit coming from you is hilarious when you sat there and defended the inability of anyone to vet Obama due to him sealing everything with his name on it.

Maybe you should go dig around in France and test some petrified stool samples.




Man, I'm really going to base my vote for the POTUS around whether Mitt Romney shit in a bucket in France 40 years ago!

I believe him.

Haven't we all crapped in a bucket from time to time?
