The big 'gag moment' in Romney's speech

[madamesilverspurs]

He said that everywhere he goes in America he sees monuments to those who fought and died for this country. He didn't mention that there are no Romneys on those monuments. The men in his family haven't served, although he did, at one point, equate his sons' work on his campaign to military service.

No, when he rattles his saber at Iran and Syria, it's everyone else's kids he's going to send into harm's way.

Whataguy.

5. that really hit me too, and he even talked

about his 5 sons reenacting scenes from one world war or another.

And mentioned that he was a 'baby boomer' born when everyone was coming home from war-..... Not 'anyone' in the Romney family- not one single one of his family has served this country.

That really bugged the hell out of me.
