Turned on Joe Scabro on MSNBC, and he had all 5 Mittens-sons

[Ilsa]

around him. They all looked healthy and able-bodied. Not a single one in a military uniform. When asked about campaigning, they all replied how they loved it and how much fun it was. :banghead: And Joe S had the nerve to talk about how hardworking they aare and what a great work ethic their dad, as a mormon, has.

[gratuitous]

1. Biff, Buff, Brad, Bingo and Boink?

The whole quinella!

[babylonsister]

3. ROFL!

:spray:

[trumad]

2. The family of a thousand yard stares.

[TwilightGardener]

4. What about Huckabee's disgusting lardass sons? They need the physical

conditioning even more.

[asjr]

5. The whole litter?

[sallyseven]

Well you have to remember Joe Scarborough

is a moron. He lives republic ian and loves big corporations and all the crap it encompasses. He has not had an original thought in his head for 10 years. What a tool.

[sallyseven]

6. Well you have to remember Joe Scarborough

is a moron. He lives republic ian and loves big corporations and all the crap it encompasses. He has not had an original thought in his head for 10 years. What a tool.

7. The fix is in. If Scarborough is big on Romney he's on his way.

Scarborough represents the Repub establishment, who is scared of Huckabee. He might not carry Iowa but it should be close, and he will ultimately get the nomination.

11. Romney was the front runner in Iowa for a long time, and to lose Iowa is

a set-back and McCain has been surging in NH and an Iowa loss by Romney will help McCain there. Mitt all along has been hoping for a one-two punch in Iowa and NH and without it he's probably out.

[brazos121200]

27. If Romney does poorly in both Iowa anhd NH you are right, but

I don't think that will happen. McCain could pull ahead but again I don't think that will happen. Giuliani looks bad right now and Thompson is probably finished. I just don't know who the repub establishment will turn to other than Romney. I can't believe thay will let Huckabee walk off with the nomination.

[niceypoo]

8. Are they all as plastic and phoney as he is?

Did they come out of the same injection mold?

[book_worm]

9. a real reporter would have asked first, do you support the war in Iraq?

and then when all five raise their hands and say "You bet" he would ask, "Will any of you show your support by enlisting and asking to go to Iraq?" and watch them squirm.

[Benhurst]

10. Hey, all they've got to do is round up eight cousins and they'll have

enough for a squad. I'll bet they are packing for Baghdad at this very moment.

[jojo54]

12. Never watch Barfboro, so (thankfully) I missed that one!

[Stinky The Clown]

13. The Five Little Service Avoiders

Fuck the whole pack of them ....... rich little wastes of air.

"We're serving our country by helping to get Dad elected President."

Feh ..........

[City Lights]

14. That was one of the most disgusting quotes I've heard!

:argh:

If I heard correctly, 3 Mittbots are in real estate investing, 1 does something for the Dodgers and the other is in advertising. At least 3 of them are working "full time" for Pa Mitt.

Gee, I wish all those serving in the Military could opt out of combat duty and fulfill their obligation by volunteering for a political campaign. :mad:

Five arrogant sacks of shit! :nuke:

[rurallib]

18. One must be in med school

Der Mittenfuhrer made a big deal of how he couldn't pay med school tuition for one of his little fuckups at an appearance here. That med school was so expensive. Mittens only has a quarter billion. Apparently only billionaires can go to med school.

[City Lights]

19. You're right about one in med school. Maybe 2 are in investment real

estate.

Regardless, volunteering to work to get Pa Mitt elected does not constitute "serving one's country" in my book.

[stanwyck]

15. As the mother of a Marine with 3 tours

to Iraq, I really resented that statement. I'm glad we have a volunteer military. I hope we don't reinstate the draft. And there really are many ways to serve your country that don't include military service. But campaigning for Dad is not one of them.

[BrklynLiberal]

16. My first question was going to be "Are any of them in a military uniform?"

What a crew of nitwits....

[Bravo Zulu]

17. Have you ever heard of the Sullivan Brothers?

"One of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping me get elected because they think I'd be a great president." -- Mitt Romney, explaining today why it's okay that none of his five sons enlisted in the military.

How can the President of the United States compel other people's sons and daughters to go to war when he/she won't allow/suggest his own to serve in the military? How can he compare his sons' contributions to his campaign to the everyday sacrifices of our men and women in uniform?

Romney's sons would be great candidates because they are all under 40 years of age. Senator Jim Webb and Senator John McCain both have sons in the military. Why aren't the Romney boys in the service?

Have you ever heard of the Sullivan Brothers? Their lives were given in service to their country in World War II. Albert, Francis, George, Joseph, and Madison all served together on the same Navy ship (USS Juneau). They were all killed.

[Stinky The Clown]

20. Yeah ..... one of the most heart rending stories I know of.

I also recall, as a young kid, crying while watching their movie on teevee. It used to be on all the time, it seems ...... kinda like "Its a Wonderful Life".

[City Lights]

21. I hadn't until now. Thanks for posting.

:patriot: :cry:

[Benhurst]

22. If Romney's sons had courage enough to join up and go to Baghdad, we could all

look forward to the inspirational movie The Five Mittens.

[Ilsa]

24. Yes, and their service brought about a change in policy

for wartime service, IIRC. May they all RIP. Mitt's response was an insult to the military, IMO.

[fascisthunter]

23. The Mittler Youth

brainwashing starts at home.

[Ilsa]

25. "Mittler Youth!" That is priceless! Thanks. nt

[Marr]

26. Romney is clearly the GOP establishment's candidate.

It was almost funny to see how the punditocracy immediately set about smearing Huckabee the moment he started pulling ahead. They *never* smear GOP candidates, but they were suddenly treating him the way they treat Democrats. He could do nothing right. Suddenly his past comments were relevant, which is almost never the case for Republicans.

They only want to toss the the Christian Right a bunch of symbolic issues-- they don't want to the believers to actually to be in charge. The GOP establishment wants another Bush; another empty-headed suit who basically just serves Wall Street. Romney is their man. They couldn't care less about his religion.
