They should have seen what the Army did to my hair in 1969.

i feel like I am forced to vote for him in Nov but he seems to be a rival a-h to Obama.

And I don’t think bullying is good for kids or necessary.

.. it's even more horrible. Presidential candidate George Romney visited Viet Nam in 1968. Not widely known is that Mitt Romney (probably 20 or 21 at the time) went with him.

The senior Romney asked "special favors" for his son and for himself. They wanted to be "special rangers" was the term the elder Romney used. The military first checked with Washington and was ordered to assist the Romneys.

Here's how one who served in Viet Nam described to a Senate subcommittee what the Romneys did to Vietnamese villagers.

Both father and son have

"raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Ghengis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam . . . ."

My emphasis. They first tied the dogs to the tops of military vehicles, others said.

Just heard the media admits they “held” this story till now.

When the news broke of GW Bush's DWI arrest on the eve of the election, it clearly cost him some votes.

Al Gore Junior brags that he got the popular vote in 2000. He got 0.51% more votes, a half a percent.

Bush would've taken the popular vote as well if the story had aired in time for the public to accept the news and factor in decades of subsequent behavior.

This is the writer, Cliff Weathers...

No wonder he whines so much, what a douche.

Obama like eating wieners and I don’t mean the dogs. Although I’m sure that would be true too.

These leftist attacks make Romney more appealing to the conservatives. Bad move on their part.

Homosexuals are 2% of the population and maybe 25% of the population are homosexual sympathizers. Does not make sense to attack the other 73% who are predisposed to align themselves with a “straight” guy.

They also insist that there isn’t a culture war against Christians.

Stalinists lie. Always.

Exactly....what hurts Romney is when people like Jimmy Carter say that they would be comfortable with a Romney Presidency....they are making a big mistake by taking this route.

He’s so busy beatin up fags and cuttin their hair

Just after I got into the military, an E-6 trapped an E-4 with a hippie hair style and cut it at annual training. Charged him $.25 to be withing regulations.

I see the silliness of trying to use this as an election “gotcha”, although this kind of Greg Marmalard-type incident fits right in with Romney’s character, so I don’t defend it.

You cleared up something for me, though. Bullying was commonplace when I was a kid, but not one kid ever killed themselves because of it. It must be because they’re so coddled and indulged now that they just can’t handle it.

I was bullied horribly in camp and in school. I got over it. To call what Mittens did to this kid “vicious”, “violent” or “assault” is just silly and stupid.

If we’re going to delve deep into a candidate’s past, let’s delve deep into a candidate’s past.

Here’s Obama in his own words admitting to physically shoving a little girl named Coretta.

“All of them said that politics in no way colored their recollections.”

BWAHAHAHAHA

I love articles like this though. It shows how desperate Obama is getting.

No way was this John Lauber traumatized by having his hair cut by some boys. He may have even adjusted his attitude for the better

The ONLY reason we are hearing about this at ALL is because Lauber is DEAD. Were he alive they couldn't slander him by saying he was a homosexual.

The vice-principal in my highschool 1972 routinely shanghied long-haired students and took them to the barber himself...with no permission from parents. It was a public school - no particular dress code. He just wasn’t gonna have his students look like “bums, hippies, or queers”.
Didn’t bother us at all. The vice-principal was wildly popular with students and parents alike. Firm but fair -in those days.
