OttersSwim -> To Important to Serve in Vietnam (8/21/2012 9:04:41 AM)
“That’s a good question, young man, and I would be happy to answer it. The Vietnam War came at a time in my life when I had other plans. I knew in my heart of hearts that I would one day serve my nation. That I would one day hold an office that would help not only our nation, but also the world. So I did what I could to make sure that I would be around to serve my nation, as well as serving God by teaching very important religious principles to a broader audience overseas. My father did not want me serving, and he convinced me that yes, I was too important to go to Vietnam. I had a greater purpose in life. I wasn’t neglecting my nation, but rather preparing myself for a future of service.” Mitt Romney http://www.project.nsearch.com/profiles/blogs/mitt-romney-i-was-too-important-to-go-to-vietnam

Yawn... When did Obama serve again? How far are you guys willing to go back to try and tarnish Romney?

OttersSwim -> RE: To Important to Serve in Vietnam (8/21/2012 9:34:04 AM)
Actually Romney is doing a very good job of tarnishing himself. Obama was 14 when Vietnam ended... And yea, aren't we setting the way-back machine? All the way to June! [8\|]

Well he didn't get back from kenya quite in time to hit vietnam, since he was less than 12 when it ended, and missed out on the draft, and that sort of avoidance...... But Romney didn't miss any of it. Guess it isn't as important a war to the rabid right as sanity thought if the republicans had better things to do, hah?

Ummm...the Viet Nam war was over and the draft ended by the time the president was eligible.... Mitten`s on the other hand, WAS eligible and dodged the draft......while at the SAME DAMM TIME supporting the war. A loser hypocrite and draft-dodger..... A prerequisite for running on the GOP ticket.

Sorry, this is just another pathetic attempt to smear Romney because Obama is in deep shit, and going to lose in November... Get used to saying President Romney.

I don't care about his service. I DO care about (1) the chicken hawk syndrome and (2) the "I was too important" crap.

OttersSwim -> RE: To Important to Serve in Vietnam (8/21/2012 9:49:43 AM)
What is pathetic is your attempt to redirect - news flash, none of those conflicts you mentioned were subject to a mandatory draft. Obama chose not to go into the military through completely legal and rational means. Romney dodged the draft for Vietnam service. Further, his attitude says that he was too good to serve, and possibly die there. Rob, his speech reflects his thinking - he thinks he is better than you - how do you think that is going to affect his policies that affect you? It is really unbelievable that anyone would put any faith in that guy or think that he is in any way really interested in representing them or will act in their best interest. He will represent the 1% and the 1% only. He will make fiscal and social policy war on women, minorities, and the middle and poverty classes. Newsflash Rob - you are in one of these groups. Beyond belief...

An ACTUAL draft dodger is going to be giving the keynote speech at the DNC convention this year "Ironic"

There was a DRAFT during the Viet Nam war. By law.....you had to go and fight.....unless you were lucky like Mitt or a complete coward like Ted Nugent. Some men joined on there own,like war-hero John Kerry. Some got state side gigs like shrub did,though that didn`t stop him from getting a dis-honorable discharge. Serving isn`t the issue....at all. Hypocricy, is the issue. It`s having your peers go off and fight,kill and die while you chill at college and support the war......like Mitten`s did. Hypocricy, is the issue. If you said you`d feel different, if the president had served in the military.....I`d call you a liar.

Cept for maybe McCain.....the whole bunch are lousy coward chicken-hawks. No wonder the cons are so envious of the respect and adoration the president has earned from our troops.

Those on the 'left' don't seem to mind that Bill Clinton also avoided the draft. Didn't he run off to Russsia and a few other European countries ?

Those on the right don't seem to mind that he stood up for his beliefs, out loud and proud, instead of slinking around using daddy or other methods to avoid the draft. He had the courage of his convictions, something the right is sorely lacking in.

And fixed the economy, including bringing down the national debt.

Ted Kennedy Bill "Rhodes Scholar" Clinton Barney Frank Chuck Schumer We can list every politician who dodged the draft, what's the point? It happened FORTY FUCKING YEARS AGO. And why do you give a shit about what Romney says, you aren't voting for him anyway... Do you honestly believe that posting this drivel is going to change anyone's mind about voting for or against Romney? The lines are already drawn, and there are no undecided posting on these forums, your either pro Obama or anti Obama seeing how he's the guy in charge, and has been for the last 3 miserable years.

OttersSwim -> RE: To Important to Serve in Vietnam (8/21/2012 11:09:08 AM)
Yes, and at the time Republicans made it seem like he was Satan himself over it. Time for you guys to be consistent. Your candidate is a dud who cares only about himself and his 1% social club. He will make policies that harm America and specifically each of us here to varying degrees. Romney is backed by people who are strictly tied to a religious ideological dogma that has repeatedly shown direct intent to cause harm to millions of Americans by restricting liberty, choice, and basic freedoms. Further, they are people who will not compromise, nor reason. Further, they hold to the concept that "it is not enough that I must win, but that you must lose" as has been shown over the past 4 years with so many lies and half-truths created to combat America - not just Obama, but America. We may not agree with everything Obama has done over the past 4 years, but I believe that he really does care about America and has done his best to make policies that help all Americans as much as he can. He is not an idealog, he is an idealist who is actually capable of compromise and reason. He wants America to win - all Americans, even you and me. Thank you, I'm here all week. Try the fish, it's marvelous.
