Mother of slain Navy SEAL: Romney shouldn’t politicize son’s death

Romney's arrogance about his temporary bump in poll numbers is starting to back fire.
His whopper about meeting a dead navy seal is gonna be just another nail in his coffin.

"After Romney's remarks, Barbara Doherty told Boston's WHDH 7News that the GOP nominee shouldn't invoke her son that way again.

"I don't trust Romney," she said. "He shouldn't make my son's death part of his political agenda. It's wrong to use these brave young men, who wanted freedom for all, to degrade Obama."

Romney has amplified his criticisms of Obama's foreign policy and defense record with a speech Monday that fact-checkers and the Obama campaign said was rife with errors and policy reversals."
