Romney Spits on Veterans
- Thread starter hazlnut
- Start date
How many soldiers did you spit on when they came home from the war? Which VA hospitals were you protesting in front of while soldiers were inside? These are just a few of the vile things liberals do to support the vets.

The 2nd would be a marked improvement over the current VA.

So you must think Romney is going to lose. Want to bet? Perma ban for the loser?
Or are you too big a pussy?
yeah whatever, you were probably spitting on veterans during vietnam. If you weren't, a lot of your kind were.
That's why Republicans have like a 20% lead among veterans. The party with 20% less support among veterans can't talk about who is anti-veteran.
notice how liberals are really mad today even though obama won the debate last night? that's weird.

now for the truth:
One of the most sacred responsibilities of Commander-in-Chief is to honor America’s obligations to our veterans. President Obama has had nearly four years to fix endemic problems with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Unfortunately, mismanagement on the part of the Obama Administration has led to serious shortcomings in veterans’ care. In addition to the President’s massive defense cuts –which could force 200,000 troops out of uniform and onto an overburdened VA—the backlog of disability claims has doubled, veteran unemployment is at unacceptable levels, there are critical problems with GI Bill payouts, and the wait time to see a mental health care provider can be up to two months long. In his last budget, the President asked military members and veterans to take $12 billion more in out-of-pocket TRICARE payments while he exploded spending elsewhere in the budget.
Mitt Romney believes we must do better. To ensure the VA lives up to its noble motto, “to care for him who shall have borne the battle,” Mitt will institute reforms to the VA aimed at unclogging bureaucratic inefficiencies and mismanagement. He will hold VA leaders accountable for poor performance. His economic reforms could create up to 12 million new jobs, ensuring veterans have the dignity of a job. And he will reverse President Obama’s massive defense cuts, that could cripple our Armed Forces, overwhelm the VA, and have a dire impact on our economy and our national security.
To date, Governor Romney has received the endorsement of nearly 30 American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars National Commanders, an overwhelming show of support from the highest ranks of America’s veterans community.

apparently liberals are becoming very desperate to create threads that are blatantly false

In Deshs defense she was nothing but kind to me when I deployed. I still use the hammer she sent me in fact, though I'm likely to put it up as a display item in my house. She and I may differ on everything politically but she does have respect for veterans.

Mitt Romney Avoided Military Service While He Supported Vietnam War and Draft
It's not a new revelation, but it's one worth remembering in light of Romney's addiction to increasing Defense Department funding: he supported the Vietnam War as a college student, while receiving deferments from fighting in it.
Earlier this year, the UK Daily Mail laid it all out, including Romney's participation as the public relations spokesperson for a pro-war rally during his undergraduate year at Stanford (he later transferred to Brigham Young University after his two Mormon missionary years in France). The coverage included a photo of Romney picketing against anti-war students who were protesting the cooperation of the Stanford University administration with the draft process at the time.
In short, Romney was adamantly pro-draft:
They say every picture tells a story.
A newly-unearthed photograph showing Mitt Romney demonstrating in favor of the Vietnam War draft might leave the presidential candidate feeling somewhat embarrassed….
A newspaper clipping headlined 'Governor's son pickets the pickets' states: 'Mitt Romney, son of Michigan Gov. George Romney, was one of the pickets who supported the Stanford University administration in opposition to sit-in demonstrators.'
The photograph was taken on May 20, 1966, shortly after a group of students had taken over the office of Stanford University President Wallace Sterling.
Romney used his student deferment at that time to avoid military service. He then left Stanford for two years of Mormon missionary work in France, for which he received another draft deferment.
When Romney was back in the states – after his mission work – and had transferred to Brigham Young University, the draft was changed to a lottery. Romney received a high enough number that he permanently escaped being in the military, even though he supported the Vietnam War and the draft.
People change, but Romney's "Oxy-Mormon" (credit to Will Durst) position on the misguided and ruinous US adventure in Southeast Asia speaks volumes about his bellicose Defense Department expansion plans.
Even Romney's father, George Romney, reversed his position to question the Vietnam War, declaring that he had been "brainwashed" to support the conflict.
But Mitt Romney still wants to have it both ways: supporting military adventurism while making no personal sacrifice. It should be noted that none of his sons have served in the Armed Forces.

Mitt, draft-dodger, loved Vietnam
I can't see any veteran who served in a war voting for this draft dodging, five deferments chickenhawk?!!
If only he could've gone & fought like he wanted...

for which he received another draft deferment.
But he loved that war and really, really wished he could've gone
to Vietnam and fought alongside the Blacks and the poor people.
