Chris Matthews skewers Mitt Romney
The "Hardball" host was unimpressed by Romney's claim that while his five sons avoided the military, they're serving the country by getting him elected instead.

  • Mitt Romney - Another Rich, Republican No-Show in Vietnam

    Yes, Mr. Romney was a Mormon minister serving in FRANCE during the height of the Vietnam War. That is how he got that deferment from his draft board.

    So what happened to Mitt Romney's desire to be closer to God when he was no longer draft eligible? Yes, he had a change of heart and left the ministry for Bain Capital Partners, a private equity firm. In 2007 Romney filed papers that estimated his wealth in the $190 million - $250 million range.

    So like father like (son x5). Geez, it is comforting to know that Mitt is such a tough-guy on Iraq and wants to continue Bush's policies there.
