Dear Mitt —

Dear Mittens:

Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney recently called  Russia “without question, our No. 1 geopolitical foe” while criticizing President Obama for remarks he made about missile defense in front of a live microphone.  

If you feel that way, Mr. Hope-to-be- President, you must agree with South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint, who says our missile defense system needs to be directed at the Russians as well as the Iranians and North Koreans.

Mr. Romney, do you in fact agree with Senator DeMint? Inquiring minds want to know.

Very sincerely,
John Isaacs
