Rachel Maddow - Romney gets pass on Vietnam avoidance
Romney thirsting to go to Vietnam....hahahahahahahha
Saturday, January 7, 2012
Mitt Romney, 19, Make War Not Love (as long as it's not me). Mitt came out big for others fighting in Vietnam
Mitt Romney, 19, demonstrated in favour of Vietnam War draft Mail Online
Taken at the height of the swinging Sixties,
Mr Romney holds a sign declaring 'Speak Out, Don't Sit In' as, alongside
like-minded individuals, he proclaims his support for Lyndon Johnson's
ever-expanding draft.
But, in a marked contrast to the relaxed
dress sense associated with that decade's youth movement, he is wearing smart
white slacks, a white buttoned-up shirt and a dark blazer.
A newspaper clipping headlined 'Governor's son
pickets the pickets' states: 'Mitt Romney, son of Michigan Gov. George Romney,
was one of the pickets who supported the Stanford University administration in
opposition to sit-in demonstrators.'Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2083002/Mitt-Romney-19-demonstrated-favour-Vietnam-War-draft.html#ixzz1iq1eaj70

Suicide Debaters and 'Chickenhawks': GOP Prepares for NH Bloodletting | The Nation
Suicide Debaters and 'Chickenhawks': GOP Prepares for NH Bloodletting The Nation
But the target of his hysteria will not be Romney. It will be Ron Paul.Gingrich and Paul have entered into one of the ugliest feuds ever to break out during the course of a presidential primary contest.Some of it has to do with the fact that the former Speaker got whipped in Iowa not only by Romney and flavor-of-the-moment Rick Santorum but by Paul, a mere backbencher in the House of Representatives that Gingrich once ruled.But there is more to the Gingrich-Paul bloodletting than an electoral rivalry.This feud features pure, unadulterated disdain.

Daily Kos: Mitt Romney was a pro-war draft dodger who protested anti-war protesters
Daily Kos: Mitt Romney was a pro-war draft dodger who protested anti-war protesters
Naturally, Mitt Romney supported the Vietnam war. Alas:
Romney did not, however, serve in Vietnam. As a Mormon missionary, he was considere[d] "'a minister of religion'' by the church and was exempt from the draft.
Convenient for Mitt, wasn't it? He voiced his "ardent support" of other kids going off to die in Vietnam, but, darn the luck, his religion required him to go live in a palace in France:
But the Republican presidential hopeful spent a significant portion of his 30-month mission in a Paris mansion described by fellow American missionaries to The Daily Telegraph as “palace”. It featured stained glass windows, chandeliers, and an extensive art collection. It was staffed by two servants – a Spanish chef and a houseboy.
No doubt Romney wanted to go fight in the war he supported so much that he graciously offered his expert media services to the anti-anti-war protesters, but, tragically, he had to oversee his servants in his Parisian palace. And then he had so much studying to do:
Before and after his missionary deferment, Romney also received nearly three years of deferments for his academic studies.

On the Cusp of War number 748 Its time to give the Chickenhawks their own page again
I think as we move toward war number 748 its time to give our leaders their due and how they avoided service when they had the opportunity to serve as are nearly all the people who interview too,
