Presidential candidate and serial flip flopper Mitt Romney has again backed off a statement he made. The king of flip flopping was asked a question this past week about why none of his five military age sons has elected to serve in the military and fight in Iraq, given his huge support for the war. Romney answered the question by saying his sons campaigning to get him elected president was their service to the country. The former one term governor of Massachusetts is now backing off that statement saying he misspoke. Romney changed his statement by saying “it’s not service to the country, it’s service for me, and there’s just no comparison there.” It is very obvious that there is no comparison and he still did not answer the question. If the Iraq war is so important, and Romney has said many times that he believes it is, why are none of his able bodied sons serving the nation by fighting in Iraq? Then again Romney didn’t serve in Vietnam so why should we expect any more from his sons. It always easy to send the nation’s young to war when none of your own are in harms way.
