Mitt, The Real American?

[Mainecoons]

Seems you messed up badly yet again and then called the man a fool--- someone who goes out of his way to remain polite when dealing with someone way below his class and knowledge . You ought to be ashamed of yourself .

Seems you haven't done your homework on this either, since everything I cited is a documented fact. I sure hope you know more about U.K. affairs than you do ours.

Probably not, though.

Being a U.S. Citizen is not synonymous with being an American. Only a nitwit would think it does. I have a friend who, at age 17, had lived only the first three months of her life in the U.S. or with any Americans. She was, however, a U.S. citizen. Unlike President Obama, now that she's in the U.S. she is learning to be an American. Barack Obama's grandfather hired Frank Marshall Davis to teach Barry to be a communist and to teach him to be black. Somewhere along the line they should have taught him to be an American.

That is exactly it!!!

We all know how you feel about "Ubama"; how could we not? The question is, is Romney a real American? Avoiding military service because he was "too important to fight in VietNam". Not willing to make sacrifices for his country...

Why is it that sacrificing for your country with your life is heroic to the right-wing, but sacrificing for your country monetarily is against the principles of freedom to pursue happiness. It is in fact the idea of evading of military service to pursue personal riches that sends a tingle up the leg of righties.

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

And that's but one of the reasons he should never have been elected president. The MSM has signed it's own death warrant. Oh sure, it'll still be around and people will watch the networks on TV and still read the NYT, USAToday, Chicago Trib, Boston Globe, etc. BUT, we've been betrayed by the MSM, big time because they didn't vet this man (except for FOX) and we'll never forget it. We'll get our news and information from the net.


NO, we won't forget the betrayal. Because it's cost us all dearly. Very dearly. In loss of wealth, jobs, peace of mind, national solvency, Liberty, safety, security, and more. To this very minute, the press still, by and large, coddles this Marxist, globalist, BLTheologist; this very very dangerous man, Barack Hussein Obama. If he's re-elected all hope is gone of a recovery, and a global recession -more likely a global depression will ensue.

We are in great jeopardy.

In the face of what Barack Obama has done to us and what he will do to us if left unbridled, Mitt Romney is a lifeline. Anyone who can't see that is an utter fool.

His communist teachings and mentioned reasons in post #5 are things I have previously mentioned as to why Obama would never have gotten a TSC clearance from the FBI as a private citizen, yet we elected the SOB to be CIC! Amazing!

What an ignorant post! Romney, after proper deferrments, got a high number in the draft lottory, and simply did not volunteer. Your post is especially insulting to some of us who were drafted in the 60s and served honorably. If you want to criticize, how about the coward Clinton, who illegally avoided the draft?

Mitt Romney Faces New Scrutiny Over Vietnam War-Era Draft Deferments

Though an early supporter of the Vietnam War, Romney avoided military service at the height of the fighting after high school by seeking and receiving four draft deferments, according to Selective Service records. They included college deferments and a 31-month stretch as a "minister of religion" in France, a classification for Mormon missionaries that the church at the time feared was being overused. The country was cutting troop levels by the time he became eligible for the draft, and his lottery number was not called...
__________________________________________________

..."If it wasn't a political blunder to move into Vietnam, I don't know what is," a 23-year-old Romney would tell The Boston Globe in 1970 during the fifth year of his deferment.

His 31-month religious deferment expired in early 1969. And Romney received an academic studies deferment for much of the next two years. He became available for military service at the end of 1970 when his deferments ran out and he could have been drafted. But by that time, America was beginning to slice its troop levels, and Romney's relatively high lottery number – 300 out of 365 – was not called.

A 31-month deferment. How very convenient. My number was #4 which was called. They wouldn't accept me because of my scoliosis. I don't know exactly how my post is insulting to those who did serve. These are the people who were willing to put themselves in harm's way for their country, believing that our actions in VietNam were right. How is that insulting?

I didn't get a single thanks for my Hulk Hogan tribute. $#@! you. $#@! you all.

I meant it only as "insulting" in the sense you criticized Romney's legitimate and proper methods, but you didn't criticize Clinton who lied and had people to lie for him to avoid the draft. I have no problem with you or anyone who could not serve.
