Comments on: Romney: Sons Serve Country By Campaigning

Presidential Hopeful Defends His Five Sons' Lack Of Military Service

[nyckate]

Iceman_1960 - to be fair - I think he donated $25k each to a bunch of charities - but as you say - it's a check and he wont miss the bucks and anyway he gets the tax deducations.

[nyckate]

wow -- talk about of load of horse manure -- shame on him.

[iceman_1960]

The Limousine Rambo in action...

"Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, also saluted a uniformed soldier in the crowd and called for donations to military support organizations. Last week, he donated $25,000 to seven such organizations."

Write a check. That's it. Then get back in your limo.

Mitt Romney has an estimated net worth of $250 million. He won't miss that $25 grand.

[iceman_1960]

Later that day, Mitt Romney was asked about poverty in some segments of American society.

"Some elderly people can't even afford to buy a loaf of bread, Mr. Romney" one person said.

"Let them eat cake then" said Romney with a smile.

[iceman_1960]

You've heard of the Limousine Liberal ? The wealthy liberal person who claims to have a deep concern for the poor, but is not actually directly engaged with them on a day to day basis ?

Romney and his sons are Limousine Rambos.

They call for a "a surge of support" for U.S. forces in Iraq, but they're not about to do anything themselves, but ride around Iowa helping out in a political campaign.

Limousine Liberals and Limousine Rambos.

Who needs them ?

Just keep weeding them out....one by one. Eventually they all show their true colors, quite by accident. Great question, and perfect way to 'out' a hypocrite.

[likeitis5050]

I thought stating his dream of making New York a safe haven for illegals was the nail in the coffin, but now the coffin is sealed. What an utter duffas. Kiss this one buh-bye!!! Insulting and arrogant, to say the very least.

[iceman_1960]

"Tell me they don't stay in the best hotels and eat in the best restaurants."

The article does state something about touring through Iowa in an RV.

Well, as long as they're roughing it like that...

I hear the back roads in Iowa are littered with IED's.

[iceman_1960]

Does Mitt Romney realize what a slap in the face that comment was, the the families of the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan ?

To equate their loved ones' service in those hellholes, to the cushy, comfortable and glamorous life of Mitt Romney's sons on the campaign trail ?

Tell me they don't stay in the best hotels and eat in the best restaurants.

Romney is flat out dumb to make such a comment.

[iceman_1960]

If Bill Clinton had had sons, a quote like this would have been thrown back in his face by right wingers more frequently than "I didn't inhale."

"One of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping me get elected because they think I'd be a great president."
- Mitt Foot-in-Mouth Romney

[iceman_1960]

"...Romney, who did not serve in Vietnam due to his Mormon missionary work..."

What, he couldn't do that in his spare time in Vietnam ?

He could have ended the war by converting Ho Chi Minh to Mormonism.

[iceman_1960]

"Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney on Wednesday defended his five sons' decision not to enlist in the military, saying they're showing their support for the country by "helping me get elected."

Shades of D*ick Cheney (can we say Dick Cheney now ?) and his "I had other priorities than military service."

"...Romney, who did not serve in Vietnam due to his Mormon missionary work..."

I wonder if he ever converted anybody...

[prinzowhales]

That Mitt...Its hard to believe that a single state, Massachusetts could produce two 'statesmen' of the quality of Romney and Kennedy. The only thing left for him to do is to put the boys in the dog carrier atop the station wagon and go for a ride...a ride over to Boston General to fix that hole in his head...every time he opens it, something stupid comes out.

Just another monkey who finds just enough words to apologize for his chimp-in-chief and the cadre of neocon warmongers who profit from invading Iraq. The only explanation is that donnie666 is a war profiteer or a monkey who's written "thoughts" come from the far right talking points of his fascist alpha-chimps (Rush, Coulter, Fake News, etc.). But hey, Coulter throwing her monkey sh*t from the confines of the Fake News zoo cage is a lot more memorable if you are a monkey like donnie666. Picking it up and swallowing it like donnie666 takes a special talent. Crawl back to your cage and wipre your mouth monkey. ROFLMAO

This ignorant, inbred Yellowhammer descendant of Parley P. Pratt (LOOK HIM UP ON www.Google.com) has got the nerve to say, yesterday, that the election is "...not about being mormon..." and now he skirts questions about his 5 crosseyed sons NOT serving in the military.

This election is precisely about being mormon and being uppity and thinking that the rules of the game don't apply to you just because you declare it is so.

It is about being a member of the Republiscum Party, the party that has brought ruin to the reputation of our Nation - the party that has brought back indebtedness and shame - the party of Richard Nixon, Ronnie Ragoon, and Jerry Falwell.

Thank God this ignorant, inbred Yellowhammer is a front-runner for this party of thieves.

"Yes Ma'am, Madame President Clinton!"

[starleo146]

WOW. It takes balls to be a warmongering "leader" then tell people that helping you stay in power is some kind of sacrifice for your privileged kids. LMFAO. All of you hard working Americans who vote for these monkeys need to look closely at the underlying low regard that these warmongering neocons hold for you, the people.

Couldn't of said it better. He has a nerve doesn't he? I can hardly believe a man running for Pres. of this country would say that. What a sacrifice.

From Wall Street Journal's "Opinion Journal":

"Propaganda Redux"

"Take it from this old KGB hand: The left is abetting America's enemies with its intemperate attacks on President Bush."

"...During the Vietnam War we spread vitriolic stories around the world, pretending that America's presidents sent Genghis Khan-style barbarian soldiers to Vietnam who raped at random, taped electrical wires to human genitals, cut off limbs, blew up bodies and razed entire villages. Those weren't facts. They were our tales, but some seven million Americans ended up being convinced their own president, not communism, was the enemy. As Yuri Andropov, who conceived this dezinformatsiya war against the U.S., used to tell me, people are more willing to believe smut than holiness...."
