Romney: No Army For My Sons...

Once again, we have another Chickenhawk republican, who supports the war in Iraq, but none of his five sons have enlisted.

My opinion is this: As long as we have no draft, we will never have enough troops to win this war. It appears to me that Bush isn't trying very hard to win this war. But he and Romney want us to send our kids in to harms way in a war that their own kids will not fight.

BETTENDORF, Iowa — 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."

2. I have a few names I'd call Romney, but it wouldn't be pretty

I'm going to watch and see if the Bible-bangers are going to support this man. After all, he's a Mormon, the largest proselytizers on the earth, but proselytizers who keep their real beliefs hidden. (Some of their real but secret beliefs include that when Mormon men die, they become a god ruling over a planet, where they live with many women as their sexual wives).
