Mitt Romney was a pro-war draft dodger who protested anti-war protesters while living in a mansion

The mansion in France was complete with stained glass windows, chandeliers, and an extensive art collection. The mansion also had two servants to tend to Willard's every need. See story from Kos:

Well, here's a funny story from Buzzfeed about Mitt Romney: Back when he was a young, impressionable college student at Stanford, he was a Vietnam war protester.

Oh, he didn't protest against the war; he protested against the anti-war protesters.

Naturally, Mitt Romney supported the Vietnam war. Alas:

Romney did not, however, serve in Vietnam. As a Mormon missionary, he was considere[d] "'a minister of religion'' by the church and was exempt from the draft.

Convenient for Mitt, wasn't it? He voiced his "ardent support" of other kids going off to die in Vietnam, but, darn the luck, his religion required him to go live in a palace in France:

But the Republican presidential hopeful spent a significant portion of his 30-month mission in a Paris mansion described by fellow American missionaries to The Daily Telegraph as “palace”. It featured stained glass windows, chandeliers, and an extensive art collection. It was staffed by two servants – a Spanish chef and a houseboy.

No doubt Romney wanted to go fight in the war he supported so much that he graciously offered his expert media services to the anti-anti-war protesters, but, tragically, he had to oversee his servants in his Parisian palace.
