Yeah, Mitt Romney would be funny as a president.
Let me see he is a sucessful businessman who turned everything he touched into gold during his career. Never raised taxes, limited gubmint spending, refunded money to the citizens when budget allowed, turned the Salt Lake City Olympics into a profitable venture when earlier it risked losing huge sums of money, owns his own mega-profitable corporation, led and managed several hundred employees for years in his own corporation, was governor of a leftist state later elected as a republican turned its fortunes around, etc, etc.
Yeah, now lets look at Obama.
Umm, he went to law school, graduated, and stood on a corner asking people to register for voting.
Moron never even managed a lemonade stand.
Yes, Mitt Romney could never compare to that Obama resume.

Mitt Romney, for President, that’s pretty funny.

Charlie Rangel’s not anti-war as much as he’s pro-Rangel.

His argument is stupid on its face–let’s bring back the draft, because the draft prevented military adventurism in the past? Most Americans, thankfully, now recognize conscription as slavery by another name. Now we just need to bury selective service once and for all…

But it is at least amusing to see the center-left play the right-wing “patriotism” card. Many of Rangel’s persuasion are positively giddy about the prospect of mandatory “national service”: a draft-lite. Perhaps the Democratic Party is just going back to its roots as the pro-slavery party?

The military industrial complex has won long ago, much to to the chagrin of Eisenhower, who did warn us. As did JFK, who lost his life warning us of that same truth.

Now at this point of time, neither the Democratic party nor the Republican party has the interest of the American people in heart.

I support the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and I vote according to those – who either follow or usurp its dictates. This document is all we have to supress the various and numerous forms of tyranny being pushed upon us by those who do not care about liberty or freedom. Maybe that makes me a republican, but I havn’t voted for a republican since before Ron Reagan, since I have found them heinous offenders of these last vestiges of freedom and independence.

So, ummmm, find a new canard to ride off into the sunset. The old “rethuglican” band wagon beat does not fit todays modern political paradigm.

I certainly am anti-war. I certainly am not for universal health care. I certainly am for freedom, independence, and liberty. I am not for control, dictates, and mind control/manipulation. I was for Obama (even voted for change), until I saw he continually pushes the Bush agendas, now I am anti-obama because of it. Change, indeed! Is this Bush’s third term???

So, what is their stance on economic and job conditions so poor that people are seeking work and turn to military service when other options short of black market crime have been exhausted? The “invisible draft” has been in effect for many years already. Recruitment numbers have greatly benefited from the economic recession. Republicans seem very mired in supporting the military industrial complex (as do the Dems.) Unless they abandon their political backers that very much benefit from war, the Pubs better find a different rally cry than “anti-war.” What a crock!

I would agree for bringing back the draft as long as there is a normal president in the oval office who is not insulting Christianity, protecting muslims, bowing to Saudi kings, and claiming America is the “largest muslim nation on the planet.”

Mitt Romney as President in 2012 and a draft would make sense for America.

I guess funds are running a little short at the RNC.

Obama is still in his first term, there is no way he would ever consent to instituting a draft. There is no way ANY politician in his/her first term would commit career suicide in that manner. Common sense, people!

How can you support our troops and be against the draft? These opportunists are just back at the old scary knee jerk tactics.

Will grassroots Republicans ever start fact-checking the distortions that come from their party? Or is lying a family value?
