Re: Vietnam War...

* A 19-year-old Mitt Romney demonstrated in favor of the Vietnam War draft.

* But his status as ‘Mormon missionary’ exempted him from the draft.

Wasn’t he on his mission for 1 or 2 years and it had always been a Mormon rite of passage, not just a made up draft dodging ploy? (No I’m not defending Mormonism). Cheney had deferments, I see no problem with legitimate ones.

I think Kerry went to Vietnam purposely to make himself into some kind of war hero for a future run for office. He had already spoke about running. When he couldn’t handle it he got out ASAP and latched on to an antiwar, lying group he led into congressional hearings.

I repeat, Romney did not go to Paris like Kerry did and negotiate AGAINST his country.

I like you do not like Romney BUT to compare him to Kerry is insane.

Romney is a self made millionaire. Kerry is a traitorous moocher.
