Romney Still a Target
Posted by Joy Bischoff under: Presidential Election 2008 .
I usually try to stay in the ball park of the rules about not copying complete articles but sometimes I make exceptions. I wanted to make sure all of you could read every poisonous word that dripped from this columnist’s mouth. I feel bad for what Mitt has to put up with. If she had done even half this much to any other politician, her head would be demanded on a plate. She is totally unprofessional and so filled with hate I feel like I’m back in the middle ages. Her whole premise is so silly. Romney’s kids are a lot older than Prince Harry. They are married with children and they are supposed to enlist for war? Ridiculous!
Mitt Romney’s Kids Enlist…I’m Just Kidding
Allison Kilkenny
While reading about Prince Harry sashaying back from Afghanistan (remember Afghanistan, everyone?) after his three months of duty, I was reminded of a certain politician and his finely-groomed pack of Mormon sons.
If you get past the fact that apparently soldiers can bring their own hair gel to war, and have time to style their red manes into an intense trajectory of spikes, Harry looks like he tried his best to fit in, act mild and unimportant, and do his job. That’s more than the Romneys can say.
See, the Romneys didn’t enlist, despite the fact that Mitt said the ONLY reason they hadn’t rushed overseas was because - gee golly gosh - it was just so DARN important they help him with his campaign!
Well, he didn’t win, nor did he “step aside” as he claimed. He lost. He lost despite the fact that he spent more than $1million per delegate. He showed himself to be a racially insensitive, wildly out-of-touch corporatist, who thinks so little of the serfs crammed into Iraqi desert bunkers that he compared his sons campaigning for his pathetic presidential run to soldiers serving in the armed forces.
Mitt Romney compared his sons riding in his air-conditioned bus with the service and sacrifice of soldiers. He did so with a straight face, despite almost 4,000 bodies having arrived back home an increasing number of them suicides, plus anywhere from 23,000 to 100,000 wounded, and approximately 80,000 Iraqi civilian deaths from violence, which is a conservative estimate.
Perhaps those startling statistics, coupled with his presidential loss, would inspire Mitt to take his boys down to the recruitment office to enlist in the war, which Republicans like Romney claim is going swimmingly. No such luck. Instead, Mitt stayed silent, which in all fairness, was his only choice because he had firmly attached his thin lips to the teats of Washington’s lobbyists.
Mitt Romney is a terrible politician. He’s a terrible liar, too. In debate, part of Mitt’s problem was that he couldn’t keep his lies straight. He flip-flopped constantly, and McCain tore into him every chance he got. Mike Huckabee even got in on the Mitt-bashing, and if Mike Huckabee can out-politician you, you’re in trouble.
But Mitt is a good father. He’s a good father because he wants to protect his sons from a stupid war, which they could very likely die in. He knows their lives are too precious to waste on such a silly commitment. Unfortunately, Mitt’s arrogance allows him to believe other people’s children should die for that same mission of greed.
That’s not true, of course, and if Mitt and his fellow politicians (Republican and Democrat) continue to vote for this wasteful, illegal war, they better plan on enlisting their own brood first.

Well maybe the silver lining is that if he is still a target, he is still considered a threat.
This article is frustrating on many levels- not the least of which is pointing out that his sons are Mormon again, as if that is an automatic bad thing. Why are people able to so proudly badmouth Mormons for the sake of their religion. It seems to be open season for Christians in general but for Mormons especially. Oh well, I guess we Mormons aught to were the derision as a badge of honor.

From what I’m seeing people I know are polarizing about Mormons. Some hate them more and others who only kind of didn’t like them I guess you could say woke up to how bad it is to hate a group of people who are trying to do good but just believe differently than they do. I use to be negative about Mormons until I saw how ugly people got about it. And I guess I saw all the lies told about Mitt so I figured some were told about Mormons also. People like this woman writer seem rabid to me now.

This lady is just a hypocrite. She blasts Mitt about not enlisting his sons and then she says its good because the war is wrong. I don’t think this woman knows how to be positive at all.

Somebody should check for foam around this womans mouth. Im afraid its probably to late to save her at this stage. The kindest thing would be to put this poor rabid girl out of her misery. Dont worry about wasting the bullet cause shes a murderer and deserves her fate. Look at her name - she killed kenny and he was a friend of mine (anyone she hates deserves my friendship).

Stumpy I love you.
Thanks, Matt. I am LDS and it is a very good feeling reading something like what you wrote. It is incredible how hate filled this woman is.

I’m darn sure the world would have been a better place if Kenny had lived instead.

Hahaha anyone who would proudly admit she killed such a wonderful man as kenny and then bash on another wonderful man really should be put out of her misery.
Honestly if i didnt know anything about Romney I still wouldnt believe her.

I agree with Nalvy, what she is saying is so ridiculous that no one in their right mind could put any stock into what she wrote.
