Look at the opening paragraphs:
Mitt Romney said during Thursday night’s debate that he did not inherit any money from his parents....This is not entirely accurate
And then, later in the post...
Even so, Mr. Romney benefited from his father’s wealth in another way: he relied on George Romney for a loan that he used to buy his first home, in Belmont, Mass., for $42,000.
So, they didn't refute it in any way. No inheritance money, just a loan to buy a house. Not the same thing. A loan is not an inheritance.
Just goes to show you that not everything gets out even if you think that it does. Explanation for me, not a Romney supporter. I'm more anti-Obama than pro-Romney. Perhaps this didn't matter to me, so I wasn't paying attention.
Romney is supposed to be unlikable. This part doesn't have to be one of the reasons why. He gave away his inheritance and he tithes to his church. He is not a cheapskate. He is actually generous. He needs to put this out loud and clear. It may make some difference in his likability scores.
Also, there could be some comparisons made with Obama, like how much does Obama give away?
