war in '66 and if he and Ann would quit trying to make their little religious missions sound like major sacrifices to the battlefield. It's sick. Just say, "No, none in my family has been in the military" and move on. No "...but they DID serve their made-up church!" It's an insult.

went on the View and tried to shill that preposterous notion, the Right would spontaneously combust.

Hey, maybe it's worth a try.

Bordeaux
Paris
Leeds
Australia (not sure which major city)
Santiago, Chile

Like I say, sounds like one heck of a vacation itinerary.

They don't even go anywhere challenging for their Mormon missions.

Awful, entitled, vile family.

How did Massachusetts elect him? Glad to see you guys have buyer's remorse this time around. Guess that load of BS he dumped on your state did the trick.

Since Mitt was stationed in Paris during his Mormon Tour Of Duty (a chateau at 3 Rue de Lota), it may very well have been. Ann can describe Mitt's dangerous Tour Of Duty in France in the urban jungles of Paris and maybe on the D-Day beaches, too. Mitt Probably longs to strut in a flightsuit, the chickenhawk Republican costume of choice.

Avoid war, Get large tax breaks, Just exactly were does jesus and god fit in this so called religion. The Romney's are a family of takers from America, they give nothing back. We have words for that, ----------I will let you fill in blank.

It's in the video.

The war Mitt protested for. Other fellow missionaries served.

But not Mitt.

Hubby drew a somewhat low number. Had to Berry plan--signed up with USAF--allowed to finish his residency and
then did his two years as a psychiatrist based at McClellan in Sacramento.

He works nights and sleeps late, and does he ever loathe Mittens.

This will wake him up! (maybe at the expense of his monitor and keyboard).

This cretin Rmoney has absolutely no shame. Ugh. Blah. Barf.

Even so young he had no muscle tone...guess that's what happens when you never have to do anything for yourself.
