I am held responsible for my own actions. I will answer to God for misteps in my personal life, as a father and in my stewardship having accepted many callings.

Sadly, it is only a matter of time before Ezra Taft Benson is brought into the discussion. It doesn't take much to portray him as a fanatical zealot, or a racist zealot at that (not that the two are frequently separated).
Benson's involvement with the John Birch Society was awful for the church. Romney sure could do without that bit of news making headlines right now. It is one thing to be portrayed as supporting a church that had a racist leader over 100 years ago. It is something else to portray Mitt as supporting a church that had a racist leader in the 90's.
