[SFDXA] Mitt Romney -- only 1/2 true!

[fishokee]

Very interesting article, the one line in it sums it all up QUOTE  ( it 
turns out that Romney changed his mind after this interview and no longer 
holds the same view)  Once again in typical Romney fashion got both sides 
covered. Surprised to see the ARRL into politics
