[Peace-discuss] Is a Vote for Romney a Vote for War?

[E. Wayne Johnson]

George W Bush specifically claimed that he would not engage in nation 
building but he did.
He claimed to support a humble foreign policy while the alternative was the
aggressive foreign policy supported by Gore.  Bush was sincere, whether
he meant it or not, and Bush won the election because of his call for
a humble foreign policy.

Romney is a face man, a political actor, Silly Putty.
He can fully be expected to be a puppet of the neocon warmongering 
establishment.
In regard to war, Romney is the same think as a John Bolton, John 
McCain, or a Bloody Bill Kristol.

The military industrial complex and the banksters will be equally 
satisfied with
Mitt Womney, Wick Pewwy, or Obomba.
They are all stamped from the same die.
