I'm not the biggest fan of Ed Schultz. I've spoken to him a few times and even in conversations he can get a little gruff. He does have a point, however. Especially in his latest segment where he Frenchifies Mitt Romney.
It is true, instead of fighting for his country in Vietnam, a time when his country needed him most, Mittens ran to France and hid from military service. While in France he lived in a palace where he brushed up on his French and learned the Book of Mormon. Prior to fleeing to France, a 19 year old Romney participated in a pro-war demonstration at Standford. The demonstration was to mock the sissy anti-war hippies and show their support for military action in Vietnam. Romney was a lean 19 year old of perfect fighting age at a time when his country had hundreds of thousands of men fighting in the jungles in the very war he was marching to support. Romney went to France to live in a palace, learn French and study a book that taught him Eden is in Missouri. Chickenhawk.
But now Mitt Romney is the leader of the Republican Party. The Endless War fighting party. The party responsible for letting bin Laden escape and for lying America into Iraq. He's the tough guy in this race. Watch and see because Fox News and the GOP will do their best to paint Mittens as the handsome, square-jawed, youthful, decider. Republicans love this stuff. Just look at war-dodger Reagan.
Editor's Note: a typo in the second paragraph has been fixed.
