    question

    do republican fathers have some special right to send their sons into the military? are democrat dads responsible when their adult sons drink, do drugs & then are arrested speeding? what if romney's 5 son were all serving in iraq-- would we all proclaim him the next president?

    can we have one presidential election on the issues?
