Another FB conversation with a Wingnut

I posted the video Of Mitt referring to the Troops and an inimportant landry list.

And She swoops in to defend him. She is very good at never discussing the actual issue. And I should point out she is a military spouse as well as I am.

He did mention them....I Mentioned it during the speech and the next sentence was about the military.

I love how you are able to defend your candidate better than he defends himself. These are his exact words as to why he never mentioned the troops. "When you give a speech you don’t go through a laundry list, you talk about the things that you think are important and I described in my speech, my commitment to a strong military." Basically The troops didn't make "the laundry list" his words, on Fox news, Unfortunately


HER
I wasn't DEFENDING him. I was merely pointing out that he did mention the military. I just don't think Mitt Romney did anything that needs defending..I don't think he feels the need to use us as a photo prop or a punch line. I have often wished that military service was a prerequisite for a president...

Not talking about the troops, but mentioning the military. is like talking about corporations but ignoring the employees
he announced his running mate on a battleship. how is that not a photo prop? currently we are in a war it is important to know what all the candidates plan to do about that war. that is not a photo prop that is just giving specifics as to what you plan to do for the job you're trying to get.
