Which Romneybot insulted me? You insulted me by calling me a “Romneybot” which I am not. I was curiously reading the thread when you made your post and foolhardily stated: “no Romney man has ever served the United States as a military man”.
He smashed you with a great reply. Deal with it. Plus, what’s with this “we” stuff. We’re all FReepers and we all want what’s best for the country. Each of us has a right to conscience and that should be respected. Name calling just diminishes you.
Now I hadn’t known about Romey’s lack of military service. So I did a quick search after reading your post on it. Here’s what I found: http://www.biography.com/people/mitt-romney-241055
It states that Mitt Romney was married in 1969. I don’t know all the ins and outs of the draft, but IIRC married men weren’t drafted. So I looked up his Dad: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Romney He would have been 34 when WW2 started. It says he was chief spokesman for the Amer. Automobile Mfg. Assoc. during this time. A lot of people didn’t go to war and IIRC the average age of a US soldier during WW2 was 26. It sounds like he did something for the war effort, although he sounds like a crummy governor. It also says that he was “born in Mexico to American parents”.
If that’s true then Mitt Romney’s male line didn’t have many chances to fight in an American war. Your implication is that either they’re “cowards” or “draft dodgers” or something. I don’t have enough information to conclude you’re right, but I do know many people who love America and have never served in the military. So what are you getting at?
Good lord, on a Mitt Romney thread after five years of this you think that someone playing games with “no Romney man has ever served the United States as a military man” by pretending that it means any human with the name Romney, is some kind of a big homerun smash of a Romney rebuttal?
Then you want to defend 170 years of his family’s military avoidance (their entire history in America) by telling us that Mitt married in 1969 and his dad was 34 when WWII started, do you know how tired we conservatives are of having to repeat our exposure of Romney to you people over and over, year after year?
Besides the obvious, of Mitt’s father trying to be a war time president while his son is avoiding the draft in France, and then that son, trying to become a war time president, while his five military age sons avoid military service.
There is the fact that conservatives started looking at this odd situation and then discovered that the family has always avoided military service, not that they had physical problems, or skipped a generation or two, but that it was a firm, dedicated family tradition, since the Romneys are dedicated anti-conservatives, it is a disturbing revelation to learn about this record.
