wtf is wrong with these people?

Her equating her BOYS going door-to-door to sell a religion, and MEN enlisting
in the military as a soldier, who is trained to go to battle and is ready to risk his life
for his country is ASTOUNDING. She doesn't live in the REAL world.
Showed complete ignorance and DISRESPECT for entire Military and all Armed Forces.

K&R

Every one of the Rmoneys did their missionary work in another country.

By trying to keep gay marriage illegal. Fuck you Lady Ann.

They are not like the missionaries of many other faiths, who actually do something useful in other countries, like build houses or schools or provide medical care and food. I'm not a big fan of anybody trying to push their faith and customs on other cultures, but at least the other churches offer help along with their doctrine. But all the Mormons do is go door to door, handing out nothing but religious tracts. No food, no medicine, no help. Who, exactly, are they helping other than their weird-ass church?

this is the icing on the cake. As someone who lost a brother in Vietnam I could just . My head is just spinning! How dare her!

The two of them are a real pair.

Eom

SO STOP SAYING THAT!

Honestly I just googled it.

Mitt is a total mess.

And, we all know the Rmoneys are not peons. They only FEEL like taking a swing at someone. They wouldn't actually do it . . . because they would get their asses kicked.

There is NO comparison. Mormon missionaries are not serving their country. They are prostelithizing their religion. Nothing wrong with that but it is absolutely not the same thing as serving in the military!

This is an insult toward all military members. The Romney's and their whole family are living off of the sacrifice of the brave men and women of the military. How can she so easily equate keeping her sons safe and happy while another mother loses her child for the benefit of the nation? Equal?

This belief is not unique to Ann - plenty of Mormons will tell you exactly the same thing. In fact, it was not uncommon for young Mormon men to avoid the draft and military duty by serving a Mission. Obviously - there were young Mormon men that did serve their country through military duty, but many I knew during the Vietnam era served an LDS mission instead of joining up or being drafted.

The bigger question is - how can two such completely out of touch people ever be trusted in the White House?

Most of them go to Podunk, OH or some remote village in Africa.

Romney is white, the Tea Party would vote for Ted Bundy...as long as it kicked Obama out of the White House!

with your stupid crap I'll never believe?

It is only 2.5 weeks until the election.

Isn't it time to hit him more over this?

Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA) did a little bit of work in that direction a couple of weeks ago, but I would like to see him do more. And for Sen. John Kerry and others to join in.

Expose the fact that Romney, nor his 5 sons, have ever served in the military.

she is SO insulting

I can't even.

how to impose religion
how to lie to your country by running away for serving and comeback a life
how to be a crook and the name of jshepthh..wherever he is
have a privilege life
learn to cheat
make a women stay at home with full of kids

After seeing a tape of Ann Romney on "View", you can't help feel:
No matter HOW MUCH she speaks, she has no REAL point of view, or anything to say.
She can't respond with "You'll have to ask Mitt" after he suddenly bailed out of HIS appearance.
This woman wanted a daughter badly... but gave up after giving birth to five little clones of Mitt.
Can't say he would "Move Heaven and Earth" for country as President, when Romney once had
used same analogy.... we shouldn't "Move Heaven and Earth" to HUNT AND PURSUE BIN-LADEN.

Maybe it was the mission.

the US was not a theocracy and the Norman church was not the established religion...but yeah, other than that, Norman church missions and US military service are totally the same.

Heck, they used to get cooked and eaten in Africa.

I don't get Whoopies point . . . Serving in the military is, thankfully, not a a requirement to be President. Obama, Clinton and Reagan -- in recent history -- were not in the military. Well, unless you count Ronnie's movie roles.

The code of conduct for the soldier begins,
I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces that guard our country and its way of life. I am prepared to give my life in its defense.

When Mormons pledge to be ready to die for Joseph Smith, let me know.

being forced to do missionary work for a year or so by knocking on doors isn't putting yourself in harms way you fucking slug. Exactly what is the big sacrifice?

That's up there with Babs not messing her beautiful mind up while the people from New Orleans were making out so well in the Texas football stadium.

is far different from serving your COUNTRY.

One serves your own selfish desires and the other serves ( or should serve) the good of the country as a WHOLE.

and especially those on the front lines. When folks join the US Military they are not only giving up many of their own rights but also putting their lives on the line - particularly when sent into combat zones. That she can compare bicycling in France to convert folks to her religion (imaginary musings) vs. willingness to die for your country shows an amazing lack of sanity.
