Shocking no one, Mitt Romney is a dick to our troops



Asked by a friendly news outlet why he didn't bother praising our troops in his speech, Romney responded:

When you give a speech you don't go through a laundry list, you talk about the things you think are important.​

Wrong answer. You thank the fucking troops. They are not a laundry list. And while Romney might not think they are important, they kind of are.

Romney then goes on to claim that he talked about a "strong military", which was totally the same as thanking the troops for their service. Except that it's not. One of them speaks to the institution, the other speaks to the individuals who do the work of the institution. It's the same distinction as corporations and the people who work for them -- a distinction that Romney famously fails to understand.

Presidential aspirants should ignore the military in their acceptance speech?


If a Democrat ever did that, wingnuts would howl.

Obama's speech text from Democratic National Convention 2012 in Charlotte | abc7chicago.com

Tonight, we pay tribute to the Americans who still serve in harm's way. We are forever in debt to a generation whose sacrifice has made this country safer and more respected. We will never forget you. And so long as I'm commander in chief, we will sustain the strongest military the world has ever known. When you take off the uniform, we will serve you as well as you've served us- because no one who fights for this country should have to fight for a job, or a roof over their head, or the care that they need when they come home.

Obama cuts military health care benefits, leaves unionized civilians untouched

The Obama administration’s proposed defense budget calls for military families and retirees to pay sharply more for their healthcare, while leaving unionized civilian defense workers’ benefits untouched. The proposal is causing a major rift within the Pentagon, according to U.S. officials. Several congressional aides suggested the move is designed to increase the enrollment in Obamacare’s state-run insurance exchanges.

Ron Paul: Obama's proposed cuts to veteran healthcare 'unjust and immoral'

The Obama plan proposes a $200 annual fee for retired military families who want to continue coverage under a Tricare-for-Life program that supplements Medicare coverage for veterans over 65.

"Cutting the benefits of our Veterans benefits while we subsidize the security of other wealthy nations like Germany and Japan and play World Policeman makes no sense," Paul said. "The money we would save extracting our fighting men and women and our equipment from overseas conflicts and regions will more than offset the savings you seek by upending the manner in which veterans receive care."

VA secretary vs. Obama and his lousy record on vets

President Obama publicly said Monday at the VFW Convention that VA is exempt from sequestration, yet the Secretary conceded today that VA would face cuts early next year if a sequester takes place,” stated Rep. Jeff Miller, Chairman of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. “Since last August, I have been asking this question and until today, I have received nothing but double speak. I am now demanding that VA and the President define ‘administrative costs.’ Does this mean closing veterans’ hospitals, fewer claims processors to help veterans with their disability compensation, longer wait times for veterans suffering from the invisible wounds of war or those having to bury a loved one, not to mention the possible impact on homeless veterans’ programs and research to care for our wounded warriors? Congress, and more important, our veterans, deserve an honest, straight-forward answer. . . . [O]ver the next five years, there is the potential for one million serving men and women to either leave military service or demobilize from active duty,” raising numerous questions on the already convoluted transition process for veterans.

should I continue, or do you get the picture???

Yes, I'm sure if Obama didn't thank the military the right would be up in arms, and it would be just as silly if they complained about it.

 

[blackhawk]

Suddenly the left is concerned about respect for the troops the same left that gave us this full page ad.

 

[Warrior102]

Hardly. We'd welcome and respect President Romney.
Clinton.Carter.Clinton - loathed the troops.
Feelings were mutual.

Perhaps the pussy OP should enlist to verify.

Did you check the date on the charts? its from 2/23/12, so before Romney was even the candidate. Obama was 100% assured to be the dem candidate, and Ron Paul has his own true believers.

Politifact would call this "Pants on Fire"

 

[Avatar4321]

Im sure Mitt Romney would be shocked. After all, he treats people with respect.

 

[Lumpy 1]

Obama steals the military successes and benefits for his own selfish and socialistic ambitions.

But it is Obama that wants to cut the benefits of our military retirees and want to cut other military benefits . But he takes our tax dollars to save UNION benefits..

barry really told a whopper when he said he wouldd stop the war and use that money topay down the debt. Only problem with that is that currently the wars are being run on borrowed money.

 

[BlindBoo]

So Mr. Etch-a-(1%) doesn't think our troops are important.

Another big suprise.......NOT.
