That task is left to the 'proles'.

You talk to my father before you lecture me about what the troops think or feel in Iraq. He can tell you all about war. He saw the worst of it in the concentration camps in Germany. He served his country and helped defeat a dictator who was trying to exterminate a whole race of people. So he can speak as a man who served his country and he thinks this war is an obscenity. He talks constantly about how our soldiers are suffering.

Since you like to support wars, what about fighting the REAL war in Afghanistan, where Al Qaeda and the Taliban are stronger than ever. Now that would be a war that might accomplish something.

As far as Hillary's original stance in support of the war, we all were deliberately told lies in order to gain our support. Now we know that there were no weapons of mass destruction, there was no connection between Saddam and Iraq and the terrorists who flew those planes on 9/11. It was all a bunch of dirty, rotten lies. We attacked the wrong country and it has made Al Qaeda stronger. At least Hillary has the brains and common sense to now actively seek an end to this war and bring our courageous and beleagured soldiers home. What about Mitt Romney?

Here is the whole quote

"The good news is that we have a volunteer Army and that's the way we're going to keep it. My sons are all adults and they've made decisions about their careers and they've chosen not to serve in the military and active duty and I respect their decision in that regard.
I also respect and value very very highly those who make the decision to serve in the military. And I think we ought to show an outpouring of support just as I suggested, a surge of support for those families and for those individuals who are serving. My niece, for instance, just to tell you what a neighborhood can do and how touching it can be, my niece Misha –living out west– her husband, I think he got a call on a Tuesday, he's in the National Guard, he got a call on a Tuesday that he was going to be called up and shipped overseas on a Thursday, and they'd just bought a home, they hadn't landscaped it, but the rules in the neighborhood were that unless you got your home landscaped within a year of the time that you bought your home, they began fining you because they didn't want people having mudholes in front of their homes. And she was very worried, and just before the year expired, she woke up one morning and looked out the window and all the neighbors were out there rolling out sod, putting up trees, getting it all done. It is remarkable how we can show our support for our nation.

One of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping to get me elected because they think'd I be a great president (laughter) and my son Josh bought the family Winnibago and has visited 99 counties most of them with his three kids and his wife, and I respect that and all of those and the way they serve this great country.

Was invading Iraq a mistake? Quite possibly seeing as how we hadn't finished in Afganistan. But do we want to commit the same mistake we made when we pulled out of Vietnam and left millions to die.

Wars are won through fighting them, not invading and then letting the government run the war. Last time I checked the military was in charge of fighting wars and the commander in chief was George Bush.

Bill Clinton showed us what doing nothing accomplishes. We were attacked more times under his watch then we have under George Bush. Now please explain how that makes sense seeing as how he was explicity against the use of force in most cases.

Terrorists speak one language, the language of force. If you give them what they want when they have hostages do they leave you along? Nope they take more hostages knowing full well that you will give into their demands.

The day that Obama or Hilary Clinton are elected president will be the day I consider not honoring my military commitment. I re-enlisted knowing full well what I was getting into but knowing that I was doing something to keep this country safe. At the end of the day I know that I am doing my part to protect the land I love. Can you say the same?

The hypocritcal part his how the Republicans were critical of Bill's lack of service but didn't seem to have a problem with Bush or Cheney's draft dodging.

Our best hope for resolving the conflict between Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish factions would be to send over five Mormon boys in a Winnebago.

Seriously, is this really the problem with Mitt's campaign or is it the fact that his moral foundation is based on the teachings of some yahoo from the 1800's that believed he could read golden plates he claimed to find in the woods?

This is how these people reason, which is why we're in the situation we're in. Did you warmongers, keyboard soldiers see the article about China threatening to sell off their dollar reserves in order to retaliate for the US hardline on imports? China financed support for Iraq...Thanks bush!

When women and men stop joining military services, Iraq war will stop.

If there are no Indians, there won't be any chief.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him get the nomination.

My father is a huge Bush supporter but promised to brain me if I ever even considered serving "now". This, I can't understand.

Did Edwards serve? NO – and he voted for the war

Did Biden serve? NO – and he voted for the war

Are these candidates to be labeled "gutless chickhawks" being thrown at the GOP and Romney since they all voted FOR the war yet have not served in the military?

The irony is – the military (as a whole) is more conservative and traditionally support Republicans. Hmmm – wonder why that is?

Perhaps because Republicans are more staunch supporters of the Military, funding for military resources, and are less likely to be found burning American flags or protesting a War/Troops.

And for those who want to point fingers that it is Republicans that warmonger – please be reminded it was DEMOCRATIC presidents: Woodrow Wilson (WW1), FDR (WW2), Truman (Korea) JFK (entered Vietnam), and LBJ (escalated Vietnam).

Don't be silly. A liberal media outlet like CNN can report the news. They just choose to 'report' newsthat support their political affiliations. Of course, you being in Atlanta must admire your 'unbiased' hometown internet rag and think they are balanced.

Unless you count the cocker spaniel he strapped to the top of his station wagon for a cross country trip on the interstate I mean.

But of course, Romney is pro choice, I mean pro life, I mean pro choice, I mean pro life.

Well, like I said, at least he’s pro animal.
