LMAO!! ReThugs now think Romney would have been better than Palin

[SuperTrouper]

because of the economic collapse now Palin's inexperience is now a liability. Now the GOP, according to Mike Murphy (MSNBC) wish that they had Romney's experience in the ticket compared to Sarah's inexperience (and her growing scandals) Could it be possible that soon Sarah may join Gramm, Carly, and Cantor under the bus? :rofl:

1. A vial full of sperm would have been a better candidate than Caribou Barbie. n/t

[Godhumor]

3. A vial full of sperm? Why that's sexist!

:sarcasm: just in case.

[Ian David]

5. About 50% of those sperm would be female. n/t

[Godhumor]

11. But they came from a male, so you're saying a male's material is better /Carly Fiorina

:sarcasm: again.

[Ian David]

13. I suppose a vial full of eggs can be V.P., if you have time to harvest them. n/t

[olkaz]

61. Just don't mix the vials, holy christ you'd have some pissed off fundies.

DON'T CROSS THE BEAMS!

[Eyes_wide_ open]

22. !!!

Good one!

[Cha]

30. Totally Sexist!

And I like it:bounce:

[Pattib]

41. Thanks, I needed a chuckle.

[crappyjazz]

58. In what respect Churlie?

[villager]

2. They're *all* Bozos on *that* bus!

;-)

[anonymous171]

4. They're right. McCain chose the gimmick choice instead of an actual VP candidate.

[TomInTib]

6. And he wears that cool underwear, too.

I love that stuff.

Wish there was some Mormon store close by.

[Sequoia]

14. Does your magic underwear have little honeycombs and bees on it?

That's the Morman logo.

[TomInTib]

20. Maybe that's what happened to the bees.

They got pissed when The Mittster got bounced and they're all hanging around Salt Lake City, sulking in dark corners.

[Sequoia]

57. Ha, that's funny.

[Drunken Irishman]

7. Romney scared me for this very reason.

Plus, I felt he'd play well in the west.

The buzz early would not have been there like it was with Palin, but in the long run it would've worked.

[Zynx]

9. Except Romney is from the group of people that caused this mess.

The Wall Street financiers are a despised group right now and Romney was one of them.

[Drunken Irishman]

31. It still could have been spun more than what they have now.

[Cosmocat]

15. Yep - Romney was the doomsday pick ...

I am totally confident that:

1) The media WOULD have annointed it the "perfect ticket" with McCain the UNQUESTIONED foreign policy "expert" and Romney the UNQUESTIONED economic "guru."

2) While I think most Mormons are probably Rs to begin with, Romney would have totally activated them and got them out to a man and all 9 wives on election day, and as noted, might have helped to fend off BO in some of the western states he is making a run at AS WELL as Michigan.

My gut as has told me from day one, Palin was FAR too unqualifed and had FAR too much baggage, that in the end she almost assuredly would be a net negative. Conversly, I was VERY, VERY worried about Mitt. I said before the choice, if McCain WANTED to win, he had to get past his ego and bring Romney in. Not only could he not bring himself to bring in Romney, he had to go to someone completely unaccomplished AND had a strong viagra kick with it.

[Muttocracy]

34. I was worried the most about Romney too (governor, business claims) nt

[krawhitham]

35. For people that use their brain, YES he balenced the ticket

But the Fundies would never vote for a Mormon and McShit can not win without the Fundie vote

[lapfog_1]

17. Any change calls into question McCain's judgment.

and not making a change calls into question McCain's judgment.

It's a win-win.

[Guava Jelly]

8. Romney is who they wanted over McInsane.

McCain is running the shittiest campaign.:rofl:

[DCBob]

10. Palin is looking like a real liability now. The "hockey mom" thing ain't going to cut it....

when the country appears to be coming apart at the seems.

[4lbs]

16. Maybe Sarah wants the country to set up hockey leagues...

and play their way out of the recession.

[Doctor_J]

12. on-line WSJ has daily Palin-bashing

I think they'll see it through. Even if they get crushed they're setting things up for next time

[alsame]

18. Mike Murphy covering his ass for what he said when he thought

he was off-mike (with Chuck Todd and Peggy Noonan). This financial crisis gives him an excuse to explain why he didn't want her.

[SuperTrouper]

19. Very true!! Where is Peggy Noonan, I want to hear her insult McSame again

[4_Legs_Good]

21. It was dumb of them to announce the VP pick more than 2 weeks before the election

They should have just nominated a "mystery candidate" at the convention, and then held out until late October to make the announcement. Then the novelty would be riding high still, and none of the many, many, many bad things and embarassments would have time to be revealed.

Bad timing McSame.

[MadMaddie]

45. McCains strategery was trying to steal Obama/Biden thunder

after the Dem convention! Problem with the Neocon Repugs is they always go for the short term gain...they never look beyond that.

ha..ha...their loss is our gain.

[McCamy Taylor]

23. Romney would have been better over McCain.

[Essene]

54. Romney pandered to the fundies even more than Mccain has... which is why he lost

Romney started off as a moderate fiscal conservative from the northeast.

He got way way way ahead in 2007.

Then he started flip flopping, pandering to the religious right, and tried to reinvent himself as the Lord of the Social Conservatives. Now he's become the poster child for the far-right and even called TODAY'S supreme court "liberal" at the convention. Crazy talk.

The Romney of 2007 would have not only won the GOP primary but would have absolutely destroyed either Obama or Clinton if he had stayed the course.

His speech at the convention was a 2012 stump speech, and his attack on Mccain this week was an official statement that Mccain's fair game for him and others.

[jazzjunkysue]

24. Repubs now think Lassie would have been better than Palin.

One week from now, she'll be totally toxic.

[SuperTrouper]

25. Oh my God! I choked on my dinner! Stop insulting our revered Lassie

:rofl:

[Solomon]

26. 'Bout time we got some of these kind of threads instead of

who Obama shoulda picked. I been waiting a long time.

[Cha]

32. ..

:toast: :patriot: :patriot:

[Solomon]

38. Yay!

:thumbsup:

[book_worm]

27. At this point unless something very damaging comes out, Palin won't be replaced.

The base loves her.

[jazzjunkysue]

29. Gramp's numbers are tumbling. That alone will do it.

She served her purpose. The good old boy network only finds feeting uses for women: Cooking, cleaning, screwing..

[mokawanis]

37. I think it's too close to election day

to let her go now. They're stuck with her.

[Cha]

39. mccain brought down by a

woman? Too fitting.

[jazzjunkysue]

42. "I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair."

Not gettin' that Genie back in that bottle.

[Waiting For Everyman]

28. In a crisis is when "substance" counts, they should've known better...

this has been coming since last Spring.

[codjh9]

33. Waaaaaaah, waaaaaah, Mommy. Suckin' their thumbs out there, eh?

[applegrove]

36. D'ya think?

[bushisanidiot]

40. Buyers remorse. HAHAHAHA! I hope McCondo kicks Palin out and tries to plug

mitt in. he will lose even more votes in another desperate move.

[ncteechur]

43. Two eggs and a side of Canadian bacon.

[Heather MC]

44. I think she will be stuffed in the "Cone of Silence" and sent back to Alaska

[Clio the Leo]

46. sigh.... I was SO looking forward to Romney and his weird hair as the VP candidate. NT

[yellowcanine]

47. McCain cannot toss Palin under the bus. The wingnuts would walk out.

Rock/ McCain / Hard Place

[yellowcanine]

48. Mitt Romney can see Canada from Massachusetts! He knows foreign policy!

Someone had to say it.

[Jennicut]

49. This is too funny especially because of the right wing crap about Biden and Hillary

Looks like Obama DID make the better choice after all. Palin is weak on economics and foreign policy. I am still shocked that McLame did not choose Mittens but that is good for us as Palin is imploding while we speak.:nuke:

[jillan]

50. He was seriously stupid not to pick Romney.

If he had Romney on the ticket, the economy would have been a strong point for that ticket.

Instead he picked someone that helps with nothing.

[TooRaLoo]

51. Choosing her was the best gift ever.

The more people know about her, the more they'll run away from McCain screaming.

[samuraiguppy]

52. they are probably right

I don't like Mittens but at least he isn't breeder bimbo barbie.

[d.amber]

53. I was scared McCain would pick Romney..glad he didn't n/t

[my3boyz]

60. Me too! nt

[TwilightGardener]

55. Moose-hunting stories and cutesy mommy/lipstick shit only goes so far

when people are in danger of losing their shirts. When wallets are threatened, even GOPers wish competent people were at the helm.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

56. Who was it who said Palin's economics expertise was based on her being a homemaker?

It was in the first couple of days that I saw this posted on DU and then saw it on television. It was at the time that Cindy McCain first said Palin knew foreign policy because she lived next to Russia and after Bay Buchanan said Palin's foreign policy expertise came from the fact her son was going to Iraq.

I think it was Barbara Bush but I can't find a link. Someone had the incredible nerve to proclaim that Sarah Palin had extensive expertise in economics because she was a mom and homemaker, who had to balance her checkbook and keep track of family expenses. It was another weird "am I stoned or are they really saying this?" moment.

[Sebastian Doyle]

59. So what if he thinks Jesus and Satan are brothers??

At least he knows what the Bush doctrine is, for Elohim's sake!!
