Mitt Romney's eyes filled with tears Monday as the Republican presidential contender recalled watching the casket of a soldier killed in Iraq return to the United States and imagined if it were one of his five sons.

Adding a poignant twist to a story he often tells on the campaign, Romney recalled the scene at Boston's Logan International Airport while he was Massachusetts governor to make the point that the country remains united despite its differences over the war or other national challenges.

He just earned more phony wives in heaven for all the phony tears he shed on earth.

Gee Mitt.
There are worst things than dying.
Let him imagine yourself with working two jobs, barely able to pay your rent, handed back a son all burnt up, with a brain injury so he can't think straight, speak much, paralized in a bed, but strong enough to out live you. wouldn't it be better if he colud die instead of just tearing up and trying to say "Daddy" when you visit on your one day off a week?
At the same time having two other kids who want to go to college.

Oh please, you cannot imagine losing a son idiot, you have five and they are all busy helping their millionaire father buy his way into the WH. Supporting a WAR that he now crys about a dead soldier. This guy isn't just phoney he's so full of himself and his religion I highly doubt any of his family has ever served in the military, they only go on missions for their church! But are more then happy to send anyone else's son to die for their political gains.

Alligator tears.
There is a big difference between his reality and the reality the majority of parents in this counrtry live in.
If he can cry just thinking about it..imagine his political change if his kid were actually handed to him on a box?
What a Carnival act Romney is.

And the Acadamy Award goes to...........Sheeshe, this has to be one of the coldest bullshit moments that I've ever seen. STFU Mitt. We KNOW why your sons aren't there and it's NOT to get you elected. Oh, and here's some Charmin the next time you want the shit to go this deep.

A prototypical Repug, we'll send the rest of you over to fight and die while the rest of us chickenhawks sit home check our stock options and financial portfolios and beat the drums for war. This war would be over in a heart beat if we could send those that lied about why we got into this war, because they wouldn't show up - all for a barrel of oil!!!

I will bet Mitt's tears were "real" when he had to clean off
his car after the poor family dog, strapped down on the car's roof, shit all over it.

Unless Mitt hired an illegal to do the work.
