I have been questioning his time spent in france for years. nobody seems to care that, thanks to his daddy’s money, he was able to be a draft dodger without actually having to carry around the politically inconvenient label of draft dodger. he’s just a regular old american ya know, working hard and trying not to get that pink slip.

Mr Romney said this week: “I lived in a way that people of lower middle income in France lived, and said to myself, 'Wow, I sure am lucky to have been born in the United States of America’.”

From Americablog, a good article with eye witnesses.

The Brits are running interference for Obama and the left. Accusations made by them will be tossed around like a hot potato. Nobody cares if Romney lived rich or poor during his time in France. It's not worth the hot air to repeat the charge. Romney is the wrong candidate for office for other reasons that that he may have not been a pauper in his younger years. This is a classic red herring. The Brits are co-conspirators with the Clinton/Obama administration. That's all.

The best way to eliminate Romney from the race is to bury him and to ignore him and play up the other candidates. Keeping his name alive only gives it more recognition.

Oh wow, what a shock. I thought Mittens went to France for the Wild Boar Hunting. But I hear Mittens found out fast that was just how the women looked who didn't shave or bathe.

btw, living in a Palace is kinda tough.
You can't touch anything.

a big yawn.. he never said he spent his whole mission living in harsh conditions... he probably did spend a lot of his time staying in less than decent living areas while fulfilling his duties.... IMHO don’t waste time on this story it looks petty and will probably backfire.. there are too many real issues Romney has to answer for.... oh and GO NEWT

Romney has a "problem" with the 911 Victory Mosque.


"(The GroundZero Mosque) cleared its final hurdle ….
developers plan to build the $100 million center which will include a mosque.
Since its incipient stages in July 2009, when a Muslim-run real-estate development
company purchased the damaged, vacant building and land where the new center
will be built, the project has sparked controversy and debate.
.... the tattered building that was bought by the Muslim real estate company had
been owned by a subsidiary of Bain Capital, a company Romney founded in 1984.

So it's OK if his company can profit off the sale of the land ."


"Bain Capital, has cut checks totaling $90,000 to Romney's operation. "


Ground Zero mosque developers apply for federal grant
The developers behind the proposed Ground Zero mosque have applied
for about $5 million in federal grant money set aside for redeveloping
downtown Manhattan after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks....
run by the Lower Manhattan Redevelopment Corp.
LMDC Board of Directors
oJohn C. Whitehead, Founding Chairman"


John C. Whitehead AKA John Cunningham Whitehead
Romney for President "


" In Islam, every structure linked to the faith and its rituals has a precise function and character.
A mosque is a one-story gallery built around an atrium with a mihrab (a niche pointing to Mecca)
and one, or in the case of Shiites two, minarets.
This 13-story multifunctional structure couldn't be any of the above.
The groups fighting for the project know this; this is why they sometimes call it an Islamic cultural center.
But there is no such thing as an Islamic culture.
The Prophet imposed his rule on parts of Arabia through a series of ghazvas, or razzias (the origin of the English word "raid").

The ghazva was designed to terrorize the infidels, convince them that their civilization was doomed and force them to submit
to Islamic rule. Those who participated in the ghazva were known as the ghazis, or raiders.
After each ghazva, the Prophet ordered the creation of a rabat -- or a point of contact at the heart of the infidel territory raided.
The rabat consisted of an area for prayer, a section for the raiders to eat and rest and facilities to train and prepare
for future razzias. Later Muslim rulers used the tactic of ghazva to conquer territory in the Persian and Byzantine empires.
After each raid, they built a rabat to prepare for the next razzia.

It is no coincidence that Islamists routinely use the term ghazva to describe the 9/11 attacks against New York and Washington.
The terrorists who carried out the attack are referred to as ghazis or shahids (martyrs).
Thus, building a rabat close to Ground Zero would be in accordance with a tradition started by the Prophet.
To all those who believe and hope that the 9/11 ghazva would lead to the destruction of the American "Great Satan,"
this would be of great symbolic value."

Romney’s time in France is as much a hyped mendacity as Kerry’s time in Vietnam.

What is about Massachusetts that so many accomplished liars come from there?

Life can be “difficult” when one is turning his back on his country and dodging the draft. For a man who aspires to be POTUS it seems strange to note that none of his sons (4) have given any service to their country. It’s difficult to see (remembering Clinton) how a man of this ilk can send other folks’ young ones into harm’s way.
