EVER WONDER WHY NONE OF THE ROMNEY BROTHERS SERVED IN THE MILITARY?
>
Although Romney has flip flopped on everything else that has come up, one issue he does seem firm on is support for the occupation of Iraq and for Bush's disastrous escalation policies. When I woke up this morning, CNN seemed to be in the midst of a "Mitt Romney Day" series of mini-interviews with the slippery Mormon. Some are even calling the perpetual 4th placer "the frontrunner," because he has so much money to spend in Iowa and New Hampshire. The Mormons, a wealthy and secretive cult, will spend any amount to get one of their own in control of the White House.
This morning when CNN asked him why none of those strapping, toothy Romney brothers who he's tried to make the face of his Iowa campaign have served in the Iraq occupation he loves so much, he had a rather bizarre response: "Each of my five sons gave two years of their life to the service of their church, and I consider that service to be laudable. But I very highly value those who serve in the military. But it is a volunteer military and I hope that we keep it that way." Each of his five sons, aside from being a cult member trying to proselytize among the Maoris, Bantus, Tutsis and the French, is also a multimillionaire-- thanks to daddy's vulture-capital "investment" buy-out business-- so they don't have to "volunteer" to protect the nation-- or whatever Romney, Cheney and Bush claim our soldiers are doing in Iraq. Instead they can grow the very profitable Mormon business model which can then re-invest in candidates like... Mitt Romney.
I should stop putting Romany down and pray the Rupugs nominate him. Hillary would beat him by 20 points, despite Craig and Josh and Matt and Ben and Tagg and Togg and Twerp.
UPDATE FROM MY FRIEND JOHNNY
Not to mention Winkin, Blinkin', Nodd, Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young, Merrill, Lynch, Smith and Barney
HMM . . . DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL?

Let's see, five strapping lads (okay, there's the one kind of funny-loooking one), no doubt all patriots, and yet none of them finding his way clear to serve in the military. What could that be?
What? All five of them? Are there any nekkid beefcake photos, like of their pops?

Really, let's home the Repugs nominate him. He's the weakest of the presentable candidates they've got. Here's to Mitt buying his way to the candidacy.
Donny Osmond is braver than any of these punks.
"I should stop putting Romany down and pray the Rupugs nominate him."
Be careful what you wish for. No one in his right mind would have thought that scumbags like Nixon, Reagan, Bush, and Bush would ever be elected. But corporate money and religious stupidity triumphed anyway.
Romney makes me vaguely nauseated. Still, I oppose your dragging his sons into this campaign. Perhaps the issue of Romney's willingness to have his offspring die in battle may be an relevant. What is not relevant is the sexual orientation of his children. Stop the scandal mongering.
Your pal Johnny is on to something there...
I think we need to give the five brothers new names. Merrill, Lynch, Smith and Barney... maybe let Tagg keep his name, poor kid.
Remember when Steve Forbes would stand up there with this three daughters and rant endlessly about "hope, growth, and opportunity"... I always wondered which daughter was "opportunity."
candideinnc, I don't think you have to worry about the Romney Boys being dragged into anything, least of all the war their dear old dad has become so fond of.
Scandal-mongering? Where do you get that? Being gay would seem to me the one honorable explanation for the inability of all five of these gutless shitheads to put their useless carcasses where their pops's warmongering mouth is.
