Young Republicans: "Run, Fred, Run"

[rusty charly]

"I'm getting tired of having to apologize for the United States of America around the world," Thompson said. "I'm tired of other people's perceptions that we need to apologize."

He said voters will not support Democratic candidates who are "driving over a left-wing cliff." Thompson added, "I don't think the people are going to turn the keys of this country over to the party of despair."

Kevin Fickert, a 22-year-old college student in Los Angeles who originally is from Massachusetts, said he liked Romney's leadership as governor but thinks Thompson has more appeal. "Thompson has this star power about him that I really like," Fickert said.

1. Only an asshole like Thompson would mistake "hope" for "despair"..

and label a patriotic truth-teller like Michael Moore as "mentally unstable".

[rusty charly]

2. and Fred?

actually, it's we who are tired of apologizing for your party.

[melody]

3. Young Republicans?? Do any of them have opposable thumbs?

What a sad bunch of sub-mental types to be young and supporting Half-Dead Fred. It's kind of
like being a teenage Lawrence Welk fan.

"Supporting Democratic candidates who are "driving over a left-wing cliff"?

I hate to break it to you, Fred, but it's the GOP who's driving over that cliff, and it's not left wing, it's the entire bird.

The sad thing is that I have two friends at work who have already said they would vote for him if he decides to run--just because he's "pretty conservative."

Just what we need--another "actor" as Commander in Chief.

7. "Pale, flabby, ...riddled with phlebitis ...a good republican body"

Just like Nixon.

Yet we're assured by his supporters that he's an attractive man. Never underestimate the power of denial.
