re: #105 Obdicut

Moreover, the point is really obvious: Romney’s comparison is cheap, makes no sense, and shows he’s not actually interested in true military strength, just positioning himself politically to gain from military issues. He wants defense spending to be pegged to an arbitrary level, regardless of need. That’s a great way to get useless, bloated weapons systems that fail our soldiers when they’re really needed.

Romney wants to make sure his backers get a steady stream of income from the government. End of story.
