Looks Like it is the “Trust Fund Ticket” For the GOP

By The Seminal

With reports that Mitt Romney is getting secret service protection, it looks like the net worth of the two candidate for national office on the Republican ticket will be close to half a billion dollars in net worth with John McCain’s wealth added into the equation.

So it looks like it will be the “Trust Fund Ticket” for the Republicans — who will continue the Republican ideology of, if you got it, you should get even more. If you don’t have it, well either you didn’t marry right or didn’t have the right connections.

So let me try to smear Romney, the neocon way.

He belongs to a religion that allows a man to have more than one wife. And Romney sounds an awful like Ramadan...
He's a Muslim! And he belongs to al- queada!!! Call Homeland Security!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, wait a minute. Progressives are too smart to fall for that kind of drivel.

SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT

.
When Romney was asked why none of his five military age sons were in Iraq, a war he supports, he said they were doing something more important - Helping get him elected.

Joe Biden should love that.

FRistenberries!

Jukebox Johnny McWetStart and Mittens...a match made in the eighth Hell indeed.

And they've got as much chance of seeing Jesus in a Speedo as they do winning in November. (Actually, they probably have a better chance of seeing Jesus in a Speedo. Global warming, y'know. Those samite robes get hot. And sweaty.)

"Those samite robes are hot."

Not if you're going commando.
Maybe McCain's ticket neede more hair...

Do they come crotchless?

(*snicker*!)

The Big Question about this ticket...

Will Crash have to start wearing magic underwear? And will it fit over his Depends™?

KOOKY!


I just hope the planet that Mitt Romney gets to rule in his after-life is in another galaxy.

LOOK AT ME

.
And yet, it's Obama that is labeled the "elitist". Why? Because he is "smart".

McCain graduated 5th from the bottom out of 899 Cadets from the Naval Academy.

McCain talks about his father-in-law. How he barely finishes high school and then created a multi million-dollar business.

Well, to me, selling an addictive alcoholic beverage that has caused whom many deaths and destroyed who knows how many families is hardly something to crow about. McCain crows because it's a hundred million dollars. All he sees is the money. Money is the level of success, NOT how he got it.

This is why McCain holds education in contempt. You will not find a doctor or a scientist or engineer whom "just learned it" on their own without going to school. THEY WENT TO SCHOOL.

Republicans sneer at education. And yet, it's the educated that design Air Craft Carriers, better crops, become doctors, and design nuclear power plants. Everything you see, touch, eat, wear was somehow touched by the educated.

Like Bush says, “Look at me, I got C- and I’m president”. McCain will probably be president. Then he will say, “Look at me. I got F in every class I ever took and I’m president”. How can Republicans not be ashamed? Things that make you go "hmmmm".

That's the problem

Americans have been socialized to want Cliff from "Cheers" as president. McBush could still steal this. Never underestimate American stupidity.

If you live in a state that has those machines, I URGE you to go out into the trenches. STOP the theft of our vote! Stand up, speak up! As one who has an official 'paper trail'. I will do whatever I can to help this country, just tell me what I need to do.

We cannot STAND another four years of the same.

Your point about education is well taken.

Education should be the cornerstone of our domestic government policies. If we could get a few people in office that viewed a good education as being as important as a strong military the US would truly be an incredible place. Can you imagine the things we could accomplish if the federal government was spending ten billion dollars a month in our k-12 and universities?

Your argument about Mcshame's father-in-law's business is pretty pathetic. A beer distributor is hardly a crack dealer, and your poor attempt to link his business to the tragedies that befall alcoholism and poor personal decisions is just stupid.

Let's impeach the president for lying-Neil Young

Sorry

.
As someone who doesn't drink or take drugs, I tent to put every "pusher" in the same category.
Besides, it's not like he made his money off of something useful.
Sorry.

I'm still skeptical

Remember this is the party of the "Big Tent" (you know White Males only). When they discover that the magic underwear is NOT a white sheet they will bail!

Today's history lesson

Romney, McCain clash in California

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. - Republican Mitt Romney accused John McCain of using dirty tricks by suggesting the former Massachusetts governor wanted a deadline for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq, in a spirited debate Wednesday night that underscored the intensity of their presidential rivalry.

Coming 24 hours after McCain defeated him in Florida, Romney vented his frustrations over the Arizona senator's claims from last weekend.

"I have never, ever supported a specific timetable" for withdrawing troops, Romney said. McCain's accusation on the eve of Tuesday's primary, he said, "sort of falls into the dirty tricks that I think Ronald Reagan would have found reprehensible."

The debate was held in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif., six days before more than 20 states hold primaries or caucuses that could determine who succeeds President Bush as the party's standard-bearer.

McCain stuck to his guns, saying, "of course he said he wanted a timetable" for a withdrawal. McCain had made the allegation in Florida as he tried to shift the debate from the ailing economy, a stronger issue for Romney, a former venture capitalist and businessman.

Last April, Romney said U.S. and Iraqi leaders "have to have a series of timetables and milestones that they speak about" in private.

In Wednesday's debate, Romney said he was not calling for a specific withdrawal date. "It's simply wrong, and the senator knows it," he said. "I will not pull our troops out until we have brought success in Iraq."

For 90 minutes, Romney and McCain sharply challenged each other's conservative credentials and ability to lead the country. But they generally remained civil, and each called the other "a fine man."

The date: January 31, 2008.

Combined net worth

I think you could fairly say "a half billion or more"

I guess that LeoAlphaMale's at the convention.

I wish somebody would knock out that fucktard with the bullhorn that keeps chanting, "9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB". Fucking guy's been going at it for at least 45 minutes now.

Support the Troops.
End the Occupation.

OMG!!!

I hear him.
Guess this means Julie Annie's gonna have to get new talking points

Leo_Alpha_Male IS A JACKASS!


Leo_Alpha_Male IS A JACKASS!

Leo_Alpha_Male IS A JACKASS!

Leo_Alpha_Male IS A JACKASS!

Leo_Alpha_Male IS A JACKASS!

If it were not,

then The Bush Administration's actions in the field of counter-terrorism in his first year as president were criminally incompetent.

That is not better.

Easy Win

With Romney on the ticket Obama can't lose. And none too soon. It's about time we had an executive branch that is concerned with something other than shitting all over the middle class. These deranged neocons will pay for what they have done if we can get Obama in as the new Pres with Clinton as the Senate Majority Leader. The end to this insanity is finally near.

Easy lose

Romney will carry Michigan for McCain. Obama already lost Ohio and Florida. Game over. McCain wins

Romney will take away Michigan from Obama. Then your job is done. Maybe you will lay off the liberal blogs then?

Who got you hooked on crack?

Seriously. Get help. You're so obsessed with Billary that now that she backed completely out of the race you're lashing out at anyone and everyone.

Maybe President Obama can establish a good mental-health care program you can take advantage of. You need it.

I think Huff is getting ready

to come out as a full on Repug troll. He's dropping all sense of being anything else. Maybe he's getting tired of trying so hard to look stupid when he takes our side in an argument.

Yep, that's what I've been hearing too, hence my comment. :-)

I'd prefer that he pick Romney, though. Then again, maybe a governor with a massive highway collapse on his watch would be a pretty easy target, fair or not.

Support the Troops.

By Guy Fawkes August 29, 2008 - 1:34am

I'd prefer he pick Ahnold, simply for the pure comedic value to be provided by anusleaky's knee-jerk, handwringing, paranoid "We just lost California!" reaction.

By hufflarry2000 August 29, 2008 - 12:06am

Oh huff....I beg to differ. Biden will be the 'decider' in Michigan. The working class is fed up with the policies of the last 12 years. It's time for a change, and rational people are figuring that out.

Did you NOT watch Obama's acceptance speech last night? Do you NOT know Joe Biden? It's time to vote to change direction of this country. So your candidate didn't win the nomination. Neither did mine...he wasn't a "rock star", and he was screwing around on his wife. (I would've voted for him anyway...I like his platform).

Don't vote for party, don't vote for a personality. Vote for the ideals...vote for the change in direction. Romney will NOT carry Michigan, Obama/Biden will. I used to live there in the tri-states region (Ft. Wayne), and if I remember correctly, The biggest obstacle is that: 1) Obama is 1/2 black, and 2) He's a democrat.

Personally, I'm excited about this race. I ask you as a fellow liberal....PLEASE get off the negative and go positive. It's imperative that we save our country from this fascist PNAC regime that has all but completely taken over this country. Remember who the actual enemy is.

The few... The proud... The PSYCHOTIC.


You must be pretty lonely, glue-huffer.

After Bill and Hillary Clinton courageously and selflessly united our party this week, you can fit the whole lot of the PUMA KOOKS in a school bus...

What I think is funny

is that people like you made sure that McCain will win. Are you watching all the racists from southern Ohio at the McCain ralley? There are millions and millions of them, and that is just here in Ohio.

If that's your take, puff-puff-pass ...

I'll FULLY expect you to kiss my jewish, catholic, irish, italian, german ass when Rudy McBush loses.

Since you've got such WOOD over having a woman on the ticket, you can openly and freely announce your support for McBush and Palin, the HIGHLY inexperienced and currently under investigation VP choice.

Good luck with that, Screech.

You and the rest of you libtards

are supporting McCain, not me. You have been for months.

Overcoming denial is the first step in recovery

The sooner you admit to yourself and everyone else here that you've been a mole for Jukebox Johnny McWetStart for months, the sooner we can get you the help you so desperately need.

I hope President Obama's plans for single-payer health care include provisions for inpatient mental-health treatment. And I hope you avail yourself of such provisions as soon as they're made law. I understand obsessive-compulsive disorder is comparatively easy to treat. And I'd really hate to see you led away from Billary's home in handcuffs after being tased by her security agents.

If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error. ~~~John Kenneth Galbraith

You...are supporting McCain, not me. You have been for months.

If I understand your reasoning that is because Obama supporters fail to account for the hatred of racists when choosing their candidate.

Romney will carry Michigan for McCain.

Well okay then, it's over.

Mitt Romney Questions McCain's Character

Romney Blasts McCain's Out of Control Temper
[...]
But as it turns out, back in January Mitt Romney sounded a lot more like Democrats Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer and Dick Durbin in warning Americans that John McCain's dangerously out-of-control temper made him unfit for office.

As his make-or-break Florida primary contest against John McCain approached in late January, Mitt Romney abandoned his pledge that "I'm not going to talk about the character of the people I'm running against." Instead, the Romney campaign produced a memo titled, "The McCain Way: Attack Republicans - A Top 10 List."

Romney's top 10 list includes some of McCain's greatest hits - literally. In addition to dropping the f-bomb on fellow Republican Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and John Cornyn (R-TX), McCain "repeatedly" called New Mexico's Pete Domenici an "a**hole." While the Romney list features some comparatively minor McCain blow-ups towards Dick Cheney, Mitch McConnell and other leading lights of the GOP, it also claims that in 1995, John McCain "had a scuffle" with then 92-year old Strom Thurmond.

Here are the Romney campaign's top 10 episodes of "the McCain way" of rage and fury. Only the heading for each is shown below; the details and list of references are provided in the full memo, which is available at the Boston Herald:
[...]
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/8/28/154725/445/1010/577657

Maybe when Candidate McCain is finished having the debate with Senator McCain, he can debate Candidate Romney on whether or not Governor Romney believes he has the temperament required to be President McCain.

Maybe during that debate, Candidate McCain can have Senator McCain give his thoughts.

On second thought, maybe that's not such a good idea...
