Romney’s Super Fan Loses His Truck in a Fire

[n2doc]

Jim Wilson, whose cross-country travels in a GM pickup festooned with giant Romney for President signs and stickers earned the admiration and enmity of strangers, reported that his truck was badly burned on Interstate 70 in Pennsylvania on Wednesday afternoon.

Mr. Wilson, Mitt Romney’s most loyal, visible and assiduous supporter, was not injured in the fire, but his truck was destroyed.

In an e-mail sent around 5 p.m. to friends and Romney campaign officials, Mr. Wilson wrote, with characteristic dryness that “the crusty old ‘That Guy’ Wilson is FINE. Can’t say the same for the Romney truck.”

Mr. Wilson took a photograph of the burning truck, which showed flames engulfing the vehicle, which contained dozens of Romney posters and several American flags.

1. Romney has a Super Fan ? is the guy wealthy enough to easily replace this thing ?

that's the only way i can see why he would be a fan of Romney.

6. The truck looks old

So the guy is probably not rich. Doesn't always make it so, but my guess is this guy votes against himself just so that "black guy" is gone. and besides, if he keeps voting Repuke, he'll be rich someday. LOL!

15. i suppose you are right about the "black guy" motivation

3. Can't they charge him with

Illegal flag burning? I'm sure Rmoney will either buy him a new one, or let him borrow his horse when it's done competing.

11. From the comments:

a pair of Romney's pants caused the fire.

[chollybocker]

12. Ha.

But what happens when the pants on fire touch his magic underpants? Do they go 'poof' in a puff of smoke and turn into a bunny? lol

But I'm sure you're convinced that you're still more patriotic than I am.
