Just when you thought Willard Mitt Romney couldnt possibly be any more nauseatingly Establishmentarian while simultaneously hoodwinking you into a sub-prime mortgage with his unctuous Mad Men look, it seems the corporation BFF once took part in a demonstration in favor of the Vietnam War draft. Perhaps I shall reiterate that in the event you suddenly spewed your fat-free white chocolate Grande Mocha all over the screen: the soon-to-be Republican presidential nominee (just dont tell the GOP that) proudly took part in a rally that favored a conscript army, or one that plucked the poor and dispossessed from their prairie or urban ghettos and forced them to fight for some convoluted, multi-presidency quagmire designed to make the fat cat oligarchs of the military-industrial-complex and armchair politicians richer and more powerful.
Back when the Macys Mormon Mannequin was just a young, impressionable son of a multi-millionaire former Governor, it seems he was a Vietnam war protestor. Mitt Romney wasnt your usual long-haired hippie or impoverished drafted Vet with PTSD demonstrating against one of the greatest shining lies in American history either. Rather, Willard Mitt Romney (hold your breath) protested against the anti-war protesters. Call Credence Clearwater Revival and alert them that there actually exists a real life Fortunate Son, especially considering Romney, much like Cheney and other war-mongering chicken hawks, didnt actually serve in Vietnam. Romney conveniently was exempt from the draft on the account of being a Mormon missionary, thus he was considered a minister of religion by the church and was exempt from the draft.
