Jon Stewart

This week, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney raised eyebrows when he compared his five sons’ work on the Romney-for-Prez campaign to military service on behalf of the country.  Here, Jon Stewart takes a look at the Romneys’ work on “The Five Brothers Bus”—sending “Senior Campaign Embedder” Aasif Mandvi to report from the dangerous front lines ... of Iowa.

Watch the clip here.

I am sure these five “girlie men” do our soldiers a favor by not enlisting..Just like all the silk suited chicken-hawks in Washington, including our funny little Commander in Chief.

Romney should run for president over “Fantasyland”.
I would vote for a goat before I would vote for Romney,
I won’t hold my breath for any one of his five sons to perform for their country, that would require courage.
I would imagine they are all good flag wavers for war.
To elect Romney would be like four more years of “W”. Both are “power drunk”.

The Romney boys probably already did their service to the country.  I’d be willing to bet they’ve all been on Mormon missions.  To the Mormons, a mission is in lieu of military service.  Just how much time can you expect “fruitful” young men to spend away from their real duty of “replenishing the earth” and in the case of rich Mormons, making money.

Oh shit, the possibility of another bush clan…Or, shall I say Klan? No Thank You!

Send their asses over to Iraq and do it quickly. Or, bring our girls and boys home now!
