I claim this thread in the name of the CCCP!

That sound you hear is Mitt groveling for Veep.

HERE WE GO!!!

awesome. Huckabee and Paul are the next ones to go.

No more miracles

He does have nice hair.

awesome, I'll bring the beers, comrade.

Anyone else thinks he looks like Max Headroom?

Any guy who thinks there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with this country is a f*cking RETARD and should driven into the Grand Canyon.

News Tag must have been very bored to show it's virtual face on this article.

Who cares who gets endorsed by Guy Smiley?

You go, Willard!

Willard's listing on Dickipedia (new window)

I was against him before I was for him.

How much do you want to bet that Romney dropped out so suddenly because McCain offered him the VP slot?

Modguy: I claim this thread in the name of the CCCP!

Da!

The glove fits.

If the GOP has one shred of brain matter left, it will recognize the fact that McCain will be a one-term president, and convince him to select someone much younger and with a broader appeal.

GOP, if you want to save yourself...

1. Re-evaluate your platform. "Pro-life" and "tough guy" don't constitute a platform. Make yourself relevant to this century.

2. Kick your habit of exclusively supporting older white men. You're blowing your chance to become the party most Hispanics identify with, right at the time their demographics are on a big uptick.

3. You have no farm club; get on the stick and start grooming future candidates.

4. Hold yourself to a higher standard. Don't apologize for jackasses whose corruption and/or incompetence damage their peers; cut them loose.

Wow. I am so flacid right now. How anti-climactic.

muck4doo: He does have nice hair.

He was the only Republican to address the haircare crisis in America.

Quick Freepers, OBEY!

what a tool...
id rather elect a turd sandwhich then mccain

Romney is only saying he supports McCain so that the liberals will think he's really supporting Huckabee but lying about it so that the liberals will start supporting McCain in order to give the double-twist lie a reverse-double-twist.

(Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter have taught me how conservative "strategery" works. Too bad I still have no idea where the iocaine powder is.....)

Heh, Romney will be handing his delegates to McCain.

I wish I could have been the room with Huckabee when he heard that.

Weird. He called McCain a liberal like a week and a half ago.

HotWingConspiracy: Weird. He called McCain a liberal like a week and a half ago.

And? This is Romney we're talking about.

Isn't McCain the same guy that told his supporters in West Virginia to vote Huckabee to deprive Mitt Romney of votes? Romney must respect those kind of tactics.

You make it seem like Mittens has a history of flip flopping. :)

Now see here, young man. Mitt Romney is a saint, and the most conservative man to breathe American air since Ronald Reagan. To disparage him is to give the entire nation of Iran a handjob.

Laura Ingram told me so.

No suprise. With Romney and Huckster splitting the fundopath vote, and Paul and Fred being utterly unable to drum up any real-world support, that left McCain pretty well free to just walk up the middle.

Harvey Manfrenjensenjen: 2. Kick your habit of exclusively supporting older white men. You're blowing your chance to become the party most Hispanics identify with, right at the time their demographics are on a big uptick.

This. If the Republicans could field some angry Catholic anti-Communist Cuban, they could do some real damage.

Thank God they're far too stupid to do that.

Harvey Manfrenjensenjen: GOP, if you want to save yourself...

They're not going to. At this point it would be easier to ditch the party and form another. And that's pretty much what is going to happen because their doublespeak only works when people are willing to swallow it. And when you're pricing the rubes that make up the majority of your party out of the country, no amount of 'we have always been at war with Oceania' bullshiat is going to erase that. Rubes may not like people who act smarter than them, but they detest people who make them feel stupider.

The Republicans are pretty much done. The retirements for them have only started to begin.

HotWingConspiracy: Weird. He called McCain a liberal like a week and a half ago.

Weird. Romney was a liberal when he ran for Governor.

I saw that kind of misplaced optimism 4 years ago. As long as the FPTP system persists, the two parties will as well, in one form or another.

It's not impossible that McCain would get my vote. A McCain/Romney ticket will not. Ever. I have problems with McCain. I wouldn't vote for Romney if a gun was placed to my head.

Bill_Wick's_Friend: I spent the last year developing and immunity to iocaine powder, why do you ask?

tfa:
"Romney will make the endorsement at his campaign headquarters. He will release his 280 delegates and ask them to support McCain, according to published reports.

The officials have told spoke on condition of anonymity. Romney will release his 288 delegates and urge them to back McCain. "

so how many people can he release into McCain?

the-meter-man: The glove fits.

It certainly does:

Delegates can vote for whoever they like unless required by law in their state.

Odds tend to be whoever came in 2nd in that state.

Ahem...Dr. Ron Paul came in 2nd many a time.

Will Mitt's sons now serve America by helping McCain get elected?

First question in the debate: Mr. Romney, you have accused Senator McCain of knowing nothing about economics, do you still feel that way?

Mittens the magical underwear wearing Romulan is trying to sell another used car in the form of John McInsane?

Do. Not. Want.

Mittens as Veep?

See above.

What's that non-smell? Iocaine powder?




I'll drink to that!

damiandt: Actually no, just Montana and Nevada. Though Wyoming is a possibility as well.

He even flip-flopped on whether McCain is a pinko liberal or "the guy". Nice job, douche.

Hidden Angle to this news: How about the more McCain is seen to have clinched the nomination, the more Independent voters are able to support Obama in the remaining 'open' primary states?

/Or Hillary, of course.

Still here, and still ahead of Huckabee.

Paul / Gravel '08: "lolwtf"

Harvey Manfrenjensenjen: 4. Hold yourself to a higher standard. Don't apologize for jackasses whose corruption and/or incompetence damage their peers; cut them loose.

Good advice for them all, IMO.

McCain is a joke.

Think of a senile, more hawkish and bad tempered George Bush Jr. and you have McCain. fark this dude.

McCain is stumped on the stump

It's not often that a reporter stumps John McCain. But it happened Friday, and it was a telling moment for the Republican presidential contender.

The bus had been rolling for a half-hour and McCain was holding court on everything from Iraq to college basketball. ("Who woulda thought? VCU," he exclaimed upon boarding.) And then someone asked about public funding for contraception in Africa to prevent the spread of AIDS.

"I'm sure I've taken a position on it in the past," he stammered as he looked to his communications director. "I'm sure I'm opposed to government funding."

Sensing a vulnerable moment, reporters kept the questions coming. What about sex education in the schools? Should it mention contraceptives? Or only abstinence, like President Bush wants?

"I think I support the president's present policy," he said, tentatively.

More questions: Do condoms stop sexually transmitted disease?

A long pause.

A stern look.

"I've never gotten into these issues or thought much about them," he said, almost crying uncle. "Obviously, we all want to stop the spread of AIDS. Everybody wants to do that. What's the most viable way of doing that?"

Well? The reporters asked?

In a last ditch attempt to rescue himself, McCain told an aide to go get a briefing paper prepared by Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn, a doctor, who he said has been advising him on "these issues." But the aide couldn't find the briefing paper. "We've lost it," McCain mumbled.

"Whether I support government funding for them or not, I don't know," McCain said about contraceptives. He then said he'd look into it for the reporters, who finally let him off the hook and moved onto other subjects again.

McCain obviously has never even used a condom.

This just proves that Romney was a phony all along.

Republican campaign dropout Mitt Romney...

What more needs to be said?
