Romney's pro-Vietnam war cheerleading from a safe distance:

"Regarding the military draft, Romney had initially received a student deferment, then like most other Mormon missionaries a ministerial deferment while in France, then another student deferment. When those ran out, his high number in the December 1969 draft lottery (300) ensured he would not be selected."

Here's reporting on his mini-army ...

Whenever a Dem sends someone off to a conflict ... it's all well and good to question why he doesn't send his flesh and blood. But ask a Repug? That's not fair.

Have a war if you want, as long as taxes are raised to pay for it. And no, I think we would be crazy to have this war they are talking about.
