But the important part is that he knows BS from a mittmut when he see it.
Gosh, that's desperate. And pathetic.
Deb, hun, I award you and all Mittwitt, Huckster, Rudy, McNut, and Prawn boosters the 2007 Judas Iscariot award for selling out the Conservative movement and the Republican party.
You don’t seem to know what “sour grapes” even means.
That’s what is so funny. They think Precious Willard has already won.
Let me know when you get down to recommendations by street sweepers and people in the insane asylum.
Oh you’ll know all about it.
There will be a prenouncement thread, an announcement thread, and a SlickWillardblog analysis follow up thread for each streetsweeper and madman who offers an endorsement.
Vatican City is a sovereign nation.
I do believe a couple of his mutts meet that description.
Actually I didn’t know you had been a prior recipient. You are deserving!
Its more than just think.
They really truly believe he will win and they can’t understand why everyone can’t see what a great President he would make!
Don’t mind me, I’m just tryin’ to hep. ;OD
LOL!:)
Wow! Who?
13 years ago, a lot of us thought this guy would be fantastic if he beat Ted Kennedy. Flash forward 13 years and after a disastrous term as Governor, we know what he is beyond a shadow of a doubt and that he would be a menace as President. People in major league denial despite his record. You don’t have to dig deep to see how bad he was... it’s right there in your face. The folks that continue to repeat debunked myths that he’s a Conservative are certifiable loons.
There were some who knew what Mitt was all about, even back then.
Brent Bozell went to MA, and came back utterly disgusted by Romney.
... ‘Mitt Romney Republicans are no different than Ted Kennedy Democrats when it comes to cultural issues,’ Mr. Bozell said.”
LOL
