Stick a fork in Mitt (notice I did not say “flipp”) Romney – He is done.
It is going to be Fred Thompson. You read it here first.
He looks more “presidential” than Romney (whatever that means – the media loves saying it so it must be true) and he drives a red pick-up truck around. Yes, that truck is a transparent PR gimmick, but it is a truck. And the DC media will never tire of talking about that truck for the next 18 months because it is a truck is packed full of down home quips and red meat quotes for the conservatives base. Long story short – Mitt is done.
Thompson tried out some campaign themes on Virginia Republicans and you could just hear the GOP brainless swooning.
RICHMOND, Va. — Republican Fred Thompson assailed Democrats and emphasized conservative stances Saturday, testing out a potential campaign pitch a day after taking a formal step toward a likely presidential candidacy.
In a speech to GOP loyalists, the former Tennessee senator and “Law & Order” actor lamented the country’s challenges and said that to overcome them, “we’re going to have to be more focused, we’re going to have be smarter and we’re going to have to be more determined and we’re going to have to be more together as a nation than we’ve ever been before.”
Then, he criticized Democrats.
“I listen to the Democratic congressional leaders and I hear them talking about how many (House and Senate) seats they’re going to pick up because of this war,” he said. “I listened to one of their presidential candidates talk about that this is a phony war, the war on terror. This is what passes for policy today in the Democratic party.”
Even Mitt Romney loyalist, Dave Burris is warming up to Fred. He picked right up on that John Edwards bashing.
Where you can also see a picture of Romney with his arm around a young woman. Ooohh La La.
Huh?
Do you know how silly you sound?
“we’re going to have to be more focused, we’re going to have be smarter and we’re going to have to be more determined and we’re going to have to be more together as a nation than we’ve ever been before.””
Yes, I can see how you find this distasteful. I guess it is only something us mindless republicans can understand.
Hey Jason, I don’t mind you using the video I uploaded to YouTube (Gary, who shot the video, gave me permission to do so). However, I very much mind your blatant disregard for crediting where you found the video.
A link/acknowledgment is all I’m asking for, homeboy.
Jason has hoped and hoped and continues to hope and hope that Mitt Romney will not get the nomination because he knows Mitt wipes the floor with any of the three Dems in the general.
Sorry, Dave. The last few Presidential elections have been decided by a group of evangelicals that have whipped up a frenzy from the pulpit with a wink and a nod. With Mitt as the nominee, these people will stay home in droves. Flipp’s only hope is running against Hillary. That might get the evangelicals out, but even that is a stretch. But keep up the good work, if Flipp get the nod, Dems win the White House.
Are you kidding?
Thompson is way more scary that Flip. The Bush elections have demonstrated that the American public could fall for the Thompson act like a ton of bricks.
“The Bush elections have demonstrated that the American public could fall for the Thompson act like a ton of bricks.”
From your lips to Gods ears….

Romney has as much of a chance winning the general election as does Hillary.
Thanks Jason. You can have the video here, I just wanted a link. 😉
Great thing is that we have an election to prove who’s wrong and who’s right. I’ll stay with my prediction.
