Now, I don’t buy all this Yellow Elephant junk, but Mitt Romney doesn’t understand something fundamental:

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney on Wednesday defended his five sons’ decision not to enlist in the military, saying they’re showing their support for the country by "helping me get elected."

Tooling around Iowa farmland in a Winebago trying to get their dad a job is not comparable to defending their country and spreading freedom in Baghdad.

Also, this reminds us that Romney changed his story about why he didn’t serve in Vietnam.
