Martin Bashir - Romney's selective memory on his draft record

1. Why doesn't romney ...

say, "I had other priorities"? Didn't that end any discussion of cheney's military non-service?

[TBMASE]

2. Are we really going to have to hear about vietnam again?

who cares, really? It was a loser in 2004 it will be a loser in 2012

[HopeHoops]

3. It isn't about Viet Nam - it's about Rmoney being a liar with no principles.

[TBMASE]

6. Nobody cares about who did what in a war from 40years ago

if they did, John McCain would be president today.

[HopeHoops]

8. It isn't about Viet Nam - it's about Rmoney being a liar with no principles.

It's getting to a point where it is a challenge to find anything he HASN'T lied about.

[TBMASE]

12. Great, he lied about deferments in vietnam

Bush was AWOL and still got elected. Nobody cares about who did what during vietnam anymore.

sure, he's a liar, but the nation has already had a battle over the relevance of service in vietnam and military service in general.

It didn't work for the pukes with clinton, it didn't work against Bush and it isn't going to make a bit of difference now. No one cares about people serving, not serving or lying about service in vietnam

[HopeHoops]

13. E-GADS! It isn't just about that lie - He has lied about EVERYTHING!

That's just one clear example, but there are countless others.

[TBMASE]

14. I'm saying, no one cares about THAT LIE

they didn't care that Bush was AWOL, you think they care if Romney lied about dodging the draft?

[HopeHoops]

15. Seems the swiftboat liars are rather selective, eh? There's that (R) and (D) thing you know.

[TBMASE]

16. Absolutely

It's one thing to say he lied about vietnam without an investigation into what he was doing.
He said he wanted to go, he didn't...why didn't he? He requested deferrments. He should remember them.

I don't want to see this turn into cries about draft dodger. It's about the LIE, not what he did during the war

[HopeHoops]

17. Bingo.

[ELI BOY 1950]

4. Just more proof Mitt is lying

He put in for 4 deferments...and in 2007 said he wanted to fight in the war...flip flopper on another subject...he is his own worst enemy

[TBMASE]

7. If people cared about who did what during vietnam

Kerry and McCain would have won

[HopeHoops]

9. Good point, except that Obama was a kid (as was I) during that period.

Kerry on the other hand was a war hero while the shrub hid from service. And where the hell are the swiftboat liars now? I haven't heard a peep out of them about Rmoney's draft dodging. Have FOX or Rush claimed Obama dodged the draft by being too young yet? No shock if they do.

[TBMASE]

11. Nobody cares about draft dodgers

2004 should have been a lesson about that

[Galraedia]

19. You're forgetting something....

Mitt Romney wasn't just a draft dodger, he was a draft dodger who actually protested in FAVOR of the draft.

"Romney men support war. They support wars that other people have to fight." -Lawrence O'Donnell

[TBMASE]

20. Yeah, well we saw how the Chickenhawks came out to support

President AWOL and his Vice President Deferrment against a man who actually fought in the war

[kitt6]

5. What is going on in the heads

of some of these white male voters?

[WhoIsNumberNone]

10. I can't wait for Romney to claim Obama avoided military service

That's sure to be in the pipeline somewhere.

[Mc Mike]

18. +1, thanks G and Martin.

Another repug chicken-hawk. Gung ho for war, for US to go to war for his business interests. Our blood, his guts.

But I hear he's pretty tough when he has a weapon and gang of goons with him, as long as he's just going up against a single smaller individual.

Funny how the repugs constantly field candidates that are 100% composed of weak points and negative attributes. Strikes me as treasonous.
