Yesterday, on “Fox News Sunday,” using his most up-to-date talking points, Romney claimed to be an outside-the-Beltway candidate, by contrast with John McCain, “who has been in Washington all [his] life.”
Romney might have paused before charging McCain with being a prisoner of Washington. In the late 1960s and early 70s, while Romney was a missionary in France and a law and business student at Harvard, McCain wasn’t living the good life here in the nation’s capital. He was “tied up at the time,” as he once reminded the audience in a Republican candidates’ debate, tied up and perhaps reciting to himself lines from “Invictus.”
If McCain wasn’t a man in Vietnam, then Romney has never owned a pair in his entire life.

Apparently you missed the point which is that Romney has worked outside of Washington for 25+ years building businesses and understands the economy. During that same period (22 years) McCain has been a Senator.
Anonymous,
Running a leveraged buyout firm isn't exacly about building businesses. It is about taking huge fees and saddling companies with massive debt.
Mitt's economic and business prowess is a myth.
anonymous,
I could care less what his intent was. I'm simply pointing out the ease at which offensive comments roll off the tongue of slick Willard.
