How long until we see the ad asking where was Romney hiding at during the Vietnam War?

[NNN0LHI]

You know this is coming out. Vietnam Veterans will really like that one.

1. Meh

Since Obama was using the old "I'm six years old" ploy to dodge the draft, it's kind of a wash.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

2. LOL.

Actually, he was conceived in '48 but the Kenyan masterminds froze his zygote to make Romney look bad.

9. Maybe Romney was retroactively too old (or is it too young) to serve.

3. That cycle has not yet arrived.

I would save it for September, after the convention, if he survives through it.

4. This really bothers me.

I can't understand how any veteran would support this man. How can they reconcile the fact that he demonstrated in support of the war and then dodged the draft?

5. after W and Cheney? anything goes....

and this becomes a nonstarter, I think. I don't understand it either. It's just one of the unsolvable mysteries....

6. No. Doubt it would be effective

he would claim he was doing his missionary work. Besides people hated that war and many parents and kids could sympathize with trying to avoid going.

7. An Olympic PR Disaster On The Way...

Don...you may get your answer sooner than you know.

Willard and the Mrs. are on their way to the Olympics and a big European National Lampoon vacation (I can see the dog atop the Puegot) that is supposed to make Mittens look "presidential on a world stage"...similar to the trip President Obama took in '08 (which the rushpublicans ridiculed but whose really paying attention?).

I see Willard trying to get some positive coverage while the Olympics are rolling...and I can't see how his wife's participation won't be the kindling for tons of political roasting.

Ya know...I think we're passed the time where Vietnam service is a factor in the elections. Booooosh & cheney were able to skate by with their dodging serving and a larger portion of the electorate is now from the post-Vietnam era. I see other follies ahead as the Rmoneys make fools of themselves on an international scale...

8. Probably not worth the cost of running them. n/t

10. I'd prefer they didn't. There's far too much good material that's current.

11. It's never been a secret.

There are some things (like his tax returns) that Mitt has kept secret. This is already widely known.
