Ann Romney: Mormon missions and U.S. military are ‘different ways of serving’

[koshergrl]

She didn't say Mormons serve LIKE the military. In fact, she said pretty much the opposite. She said it was a DIFFERENT way of serving.

Get it? Different? Get it?

Come on, you know very well that LIKE and DIFFERENT mean exactly the same thing!

Right, libtard asshats?

We give them way too much credit when we respond to them.

 

[Unkotare]

Yanno....................if that dye job blonde wants to talk policy, I'd be willing to debate her.

And if the bitch got uppity and stepped to me? I'd knock the **** out.

Someone kicked your ass and humilated you recently, didn't they? You are all over the place desperately overcompensating for something. I hope it didn't hurt too much.

 

[Katzndogz]

Military service hasn't had a bearing on presidential elections for years. George H.W. Bush served, Bill Clinton didn't. John McCain served, obama didn't. The only reason this has any kind of meaning in this election is that NON military service is more beneficial when obama didn't serve than when Romney didn't serve. Someone who serves as a missionary is far more in touch with humanity, and misery, and poverty, than someone who does nothing but live in a posh section of Chicago.

Why mitt send his (non)submissive wife to bat for him anyway

 

[George Costanza]

...There is also nothing wrong with that except that they should not attempt to lead this country or tell the "peons" what they should do, etc.

Here is a list of religions. Please tell us which ones should and should not be allowed to be the religion of the President...

fucking dumb ass

I'm sorry - I didn't get all of those religions. Mind repeating them?

 

[Dot Com]

anne "let them eat cake" romney was wrong to say that. The military serve this great nation (I did) while missionaries serve whatever cult they happen to belong to

true story

tissue?

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Ann Romney making excuses for her sons not serving in the military.



What a joke! Morman missionaries aren't serving their countries. They are serving and promoting their religion. There is no problem with that but there is also NO COMPARISON whatsoever to serving in the military.

And some people really do want this family in the WH? So privileged and totally out of touch? There is also nothing wrong with that except that they should not attempt to lead this country or tell the "peons" what they should do, etc.

( emphasis added)

Obama and Biden never served but the can tell the 'peons' what to do?

biden and obama aren't chickenhawks.

and it takes a special kind of ugly to protest in favor of a war while you get your own butt to paris to play missionary.

YES! Its the same ole pubpot hypocrisy that makes this stink to high heaven.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

All of this comes from the stupid thought process that someone is only a good leadership candidate if the've shot at people in a war. If America ever finds itself at extended peace, there will be NO good leaders using that ruberic.

Could not agree more.

Will we ever learn that the real enemy is war itself?

 

[Luddly Neddite]

I don't want any religion/cult in control of my country.

Last time I will answer you so go pee up a rope little boy.

So, you are opposed to a President that is a member of ANY religion. Got it.

Obama is a Christian. Do the Christians control the country?

You are such a dumb ass.

I don't know if they exactly control the country, but I DO know that the Christians have a pretty strong lobby group called the Christian Coalition.

I really don't care what religion the leader of my country is, everyone perceives God in their own personal way.

What I DO care about is do they have the interests of the majority of this country at heart?

Sorry................but Buddhists can do the same job as Christians. They both believe basically the same things, they just approach it from different perspectives.

yes ... And, never mind the usual LIE from the right that I am

opposed to a President that is a member of ANY religion

.

I'll repeat what I really said -

I don't want any religion/cult in control of my country.

We should be asking ourselves why the rw's are so enamored with the prospect of a cult being in control of our country that they actually plan to vote for it.

You have just pointed out that military service and religious service are different. That's what Ann Romney said. They are different. It sort of makes John Milton correct, They also serve who only stand and wait.

The cult of Mormonism is better than the cult of communisim.

I don't know if they exactly control the country, but I DO know that the Christians have a pretty strong lobby group called the Christian Coalition.So do other religious organizations.

Another good response.

Not sure they believe the same basic things, but I think I get what you're trying to say.

I'll repeat what I really said -

I don't want any religion/cult in control of my country.

We should be asking ourselves why the rw's are so enamored with the prospect of a cult being in control of our country that they actually plan to vote for it.

Please, explain to us all how being a President who is a member of a particular religion translates into said religion being in control of the country. (this ought to be interesting)

Also, if you're opposed to ANY President beign a member of ANY religion, you're going to be opposed to Obama (Christian), or ANY other person who happens to run.

Who is there left to be President?

 

[Conservative]

I am a military mom of two men serving the United States of America. Ann Romney's belief is that Mormons are serving just outside of themselves as the men and women of the military are is an insult to the military. It is my belief that these are two very separate ideologies - one is service to one's religion and one is service to one's Country. The greater of these is service to one's country. To state that they are even remotely equivant is grossly inaccurate. Her sons/missionaries do not come home from war in a body bag, her sons/missionaries don't face the possibility of their arms, legs, bodies or heads being blown to pieces or being caught on fire, her son's don't sleep in cold, isolated places within enemy territory. I was married to a Mormon for 13 years, and know a number of missionaries who have not come anywhere close to serving their country, living in hazardous places or giving their lives up to save their comrades. Ann Romney, your comparison is grossly inaccurate and ignorant.

I call bullshit. You're a sock. go away before they ban you.

interesting... only 1 post, ever, in this thread, and when called out as a sock, she disappears. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......

Ann Romney: Mormon missions and U.S. military are ‘different ways of serving’

The candidate’s wife explained that Mormon missions were like military service in that “you’re going outside of yourself, you’re working and you’re helping others. And it changes you. And are we so grateful in this country for those people — men and women — that are volunteering, they’re sacrificing their life for us, and we cannot forget that or we have to acknowledge that always.”

“So, when you’re facing these mothers whose children have not come back, how will you explain to them that your sons haven’t gone?” Goldberg pressed. “Will you talk about the missions they’ve gone on?”

What a joke! Morman missionaries aren't serving their countries. They are serving and promoting their religion. There is no problem with that but there is also NO COMPARISON whatsoever to serving in the military.

And some people really do want this family in the WH? So privileged and totally out of touch? There is also nothing wrong with that except that they should not attempt to lead this country or tell the "peons" what they should do, etc.

Which branch did obama serve in?

And are we so grateful in this country for those people — men and women — that are volunteering, they’re sacrificing their life for us, and we cannot forget that or we have to acknowledge that always.”

“So, when you’re facing these mothers whose children have not come back, how will you explain to them that your sons haven’t gone?” Goldberg pressed. “Will you talk about the missions they’ve gone on?”

What a joke! Morman missionaries aren't serving their countries. They are serving and promoting their religion. There is no problem with that but there is also NO COMPARISON whatsoever to serving in the military.

And some people really do want this family in the WH? So privileged and totally out of touch? There is also nothing wrong with that except that they should not attempt to lead this country or tell the "peons" what they should do, etc.

I remember during Mitten's previous campaign he claimed that his sons were serving their country by campaigning for him. This when the war's toll kept climbing.

How anyone can respect the man is beyond me.
