(8,694 posts)that's what Mitt said anyway. So, Tagg, Turd, Biff, Ripp, and Boff Romney droves around in luxury campaign Winnebagos.
Ann went shopping for her $4000 dress for her schreeching about loving women. Ryan was making up lies about running faster than Jesse Owens, and climbing higher than Edmund Hilary.
To the RW 1%, the troops are just hired help. They would no more honor them, then they would the second floor maid, or the dishwasher.

Asked by a friendly news outlet why he didn't bother praising our troops in his speech, Romney responded:
When you give a speech you don't go through a laundry list, you talk about the things you think are important.
And, as Kos explains in his diary.....
Wrong answer. You thank the fucking troops. They are not a laundry list. And while Romney might not think they are important, they kind of are.
Also at DailyKos, a military mom speaks out. A must read!

On edit, this is a front-page diary with almost 200 responses on DailyKos. Why isn't it getting any attention here? This is huge in my opinion.

(228 posts)I hesitate to start threads, even when a topic so important happens.
I need to get over it and just do it.
Thanks for doing what I should have done. The credit is all yours if it gets the attention it so deserves. But please do include the diary from that military mom.
Thanks.
