How stupid do you think we are?

Soon the Republican party will have no choice but to make Mitt Romney its leader. We've seen a suspiciously steady trickle of losers quietly exiting the ranks of 2012 hopefuls -- Bobby Jindal with his disastrous State of the Union rebuttal; John Ensign and Mark Sanford with their affairs; and most recently, Sarah Palin's bizarre resignation from the Alaska governorship. The only candidates left are Mike Huckabee, Tim Pawlenty and Romney.
If history is any guide, we should expect some foul disclosure out of the Huckabee camp any day now. You just can't get away with saying something like this less than 48 hours after a fellow conservative Republican has made a dramatic announcement about leaving office:
[R]eferring to the ethics inquiries Palin faces, Huckabee said of his own time as a GOP governor in an overwhelmingly Democratic state: "If that had been the case for me, I would've quit in my first month. If she's looking to be a national political figure, it's not going to get easier."
You can bet that every major news organization in America took that sound bite and quietly filed it away under "Hypocrisy Watch" for replaying when Huckabee announces that he can't take the heat, so he's getting out of the kitchen. The only question is this: what confession of hideously depraved malfeasance will soon be forcing pious Mike Huckabee out of the public eye forever?

Well, we did the last time!
Relax. That would nehhhhhhhhver happen.
Liberals hated GWB, the last liberal Republican to occupy the WH. Why would they want another?
The usual throat-cutting advice from a friendly liberal.
Maverick John was their man the last time around and he sure didn’t disappoint (them).
WE ARE NOT GOING TO LET THE LIBERALS PICK OUR CANDIDATE FOR US AGAIN THIS TIME AROUND.....
If I want a liberal for President I can vote for Obama. Why does anyone need Mitt?
“No. There is another”
It should be evident now as to exactly who torpedoed Sanford and Palin.
Romney is horrible. We need a bad ass!
Sara K. Smith, you ignorant slut.
Palin will curbstomp that little pissant used car salesman.
No, we need a real conservatarian.
lmao
NBC News on How to rebuild the GOP.
Let’s read this in great detail.
Awwwwwww. Isn’t it sweet of NBC to be concerned with the future of The Stupi......errr....I mean The Republican Party?
There will NEVER be a Republican the media will like unless he/she is far left. Even if someone is as pure and clean as pure driven snow like Palin, the media will dirty her up with false charges
Who is Sarah K Smith? She is out of her mind.
NBC is totally in the pocket of the democrat party.
The want Romney so badly because they still have so much anti-Mormon material they haven’t used.
My point. Thanks.
I will only vote for a Reagan conservative. And Romney is not even close.
Romney cannot win California or any other big state with significant non-caucasian populations. He’s way too milquetoast and simply can’t relate to millions of voters. Palin can pull it of because the MSM has made her the underdog. Otherwise, we need an “ethnic” candidate with conservative principles who won’t pull an Uncle Colin on us..... (Republican until it is convenient to do otherwise...)
There are a lot of economic conservatives who are Romney supporters. Sarah isn't going to win without them. She might even need to offer him second spot on the ticket as Ronald Reagan did for George Bush.
+ Mitch Daniels, John Hoeven, possibly Mike Pence or John Boehner...
NBC can shove it.
I have a feeling there are more than 3 possible candidates among the 66 million Republicans in the country. It is likely (and maybe preferable) if our candidate next time is someone not on the radar.
Of course, Duncan Hunter could run again -- he's still young. There are a dozen Governors who could decide to get into the race and would be credible.
They completely left off Mitch Daniels, who has been actively considered as a candidate.
It's way too early to try to constrict the list to 3 people like the media is trying to do here, or to a single candidate as some freepers are trying to do with Palin.
I have to admit that was funny. I can't disagree with your statement either, but the same would apply to Huck or Pawlenty. So Sarah, it has got to be!
From the end of the article: Sara K. Smith, hairdresser to the stars, writes for NBC and Wonkette.
Too much baggage. He blew it last time. We need a cussing, staight-talking ass kicker! We need Reagan! Where is the next one???? Someone like that could kick Obama’s ass!
Paint him to be the wenie he is and it’s all over.
Didn’t the MSM say the same about McCain?
It's not the whiteness, it's the weaselness. yccch.
Means something is seriously WRONG with him..
He has ten foot pole marks all over him..
If that joke is the last hope, then there is no hope left.
Watch out for that puddle as you deal with the "tingle down your leg".
Sounds like state-run NBC finds scandal and adultery distasteful.
Who knew.
The pubs should be ballzie and run no one. Save all of the money and spend it on getting the house and the senate. Really , admit they are leaderless .
Been there done that in 2008. Go suck a 1000 foot sour pickle MSM and don’t report back till it’s all gore.
“No. There is another”
Brilliant, and your Empire Strikes Back metaphor was also (as you know) referencing a woman. Go Sarah!
Screw Captain Brylcreem. I want Sarah Palin.
Right. Nice pic of Mittens before the Brylcreem.
Jesus, what a phony.
Yeeesh, the man couldn’t beat Himmler in Miami Beach!
Best,
Chris
I don't get this. Pro-Sarah Freepers are saying that, far from being torpedoed, her resignation was a brilliant political move. So, did Romney set out to torpedo Palin, but his nefarious plan backfired? Or was Palin's resignation a blunder, which Romney inveigled her into doing?
As for Sanford, I'd really like to hear speculation on the mechanics of how Romney engineered Sanford's love affair with his Argentinian soulmate
Palin isn’t torpedoed- I have a feeling she’s just getting ready for the big time.
Sanford topedoed himself. She betrayed his wife, his kids, and everyone who voted for him.
Exactly.
We do it pretty darn regularly. The media and Republican establishment anoints some loser/betrayer/clown. We lose with him. And the media laughs and floats us another one, just as bad as the last candidate.
Then we all dance on cue like mice on a treadmill trying to get this new clown elected in a desperate attempt to stave off the Democrats, as the Rino slavemasters all the while blast us with continuing insults, telling us to shut up and elect their latest monstrosity. Then they blame us afterward when he isn’t elected. Then the cycle starts all over again...
I watched old Mitt groveling before Teddy Kennedy in 1994, promising to support every liberal cause better than the Man from Chappaquiddick. He was one of the few GOP losses that night. He’d have been like the Maine sisters in the senate if elected.
Don’t drink his poison, people. It’s the same old Rino swill.
No - too many fellow Baptists would die sooner than see a “Christian” who believes that Jesus played with indians as told by a man looking through a magic hat.
If Romney is the best republicans can offer - a fake conservative from a cult religion - we’d just as soon stay home come election day.
