Romney: Rebuild defense, add 100,000 troops

[Down1]

This guy is whacked.
Just convert and move to Israel please.

Doing the Reagan thang I guess.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Thursday America must not economize on security but rather strengthen national defense by rebuilding the Navy and Air Force and adding 100,000 active duty personnel.

And there you have it.

Once again showing in glaring detail there is no difference between the right or the left both are for the expansion on the reach and power of gubbermint

If Americans could only translate this into "100,000 more sons, fathers, and brothers into harm's way to satiate the blood lust of profiteers" instead of "they hate us for our freedoms" then maybe people would have a run at the truth. How many more mothers will cry over flag-draped caskets holding the remains of their children and lean on fake patriotism and lies to justify their deaths? Romney = sick Zio-sucking bastard, not Presidential material.

i would like to see Ron Paul seize on this by pointing out the dichotomy whereby the sons & daughters of constituents are sent to fight & die in foreign lands, whereas the children of elected representatives get tickets to Stanford, Harvard, and other forms of nepotism & privilege.

the proposed Ron Paul Amendment : all elected representatives who vote for war shall be required to submit young adult family members for non-officer roles on the front-line of American wars.

that ought to reduce the fighting.

if Ron Paul can point out the hypocrisy of Romney's position, that would resonate with American voters.

Like the Military Industrial Complex isn't bankrupting The USA fast enough as it is.

Romney is a neo-con moron.

"Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Thursday America must not economize on security but rather strengthen national defense by rebuilding the Navy and Air Force and adding drafting 100,000 active duty personnel."

It ain't happening any other way. Unless this is his "jobs" platform.
