Ok, as much as I can't believe I'm saying this, Romney is doing a decent thing here and while the campaign could have just bought the guy a new truck and enclosed a nice letter, Mitt is personally presenting it to Mr. Wilson, and while I don't share Wilson's level of enthusiasm, it's nice that he will be recognized and acknowledged appropriately.

I don't even feel like I need to take a shower after typing this.

(ok, maybe a sponge bath)

Hmm...

Nope.
Couldn’t do it.
Even for a free new truck.

Maybe for a Lear jet?

Whaddya say Mitt? Think of all the campaign stops I could make across the nation for you with a Lear? (And fuel, too please) Heck I could take a half dozen of your supporters with me.

We could really gin up some support.

Yes, very nice....watch Obama do a one upper on Romney in the coming weeks....

He’ll probably buy a meal for some Veterans...Oh that’s right, he was going to...but skipped out on the bill...

Just think.....Romney could have had millions of horn tooting trucks emblazoned with his stickers on them, if he’d ever really stood on our side.

I think that most who will begrudgingly give him their vote, are too embarrassed to advertise the fact.

Nah, he just has to figure out how to charge tax payers for it.

Very nice. If Romney were to come to my neck o’ the woods, I’d want to meet Wilson as much as I’d want to see Romney.

I actually saw this guy driving his old truck around the parking lot of a local Walmart here in central Virginia....it must have been a couple of months ago. I thought he was a kook and I felt embarrassed for him.

I’m glad he got a new truck, but I still think he’s a kook and I’m still embarrassed for him, LOL.

U.S. flags lying on the grass. Not cool. Hopefully they were later burned in a dignified manner.

Sad to see this guy getting mocked by some. I remember the days when people were respected for their patriotism.

I’m sure Atty Gen Holder will investigate the cause of the fire, right? I mean this could be a hate crime or federal election law violation....

Painters are quite famous for flipping the ashes out the window which then blow back into the bed of the truck where it sets the contents on fire.

That much fire in the bed makes me think it started there. JMHO

Looks like Romney has a pretty cool set of wheels himself. Below is his customized campaign bus.

True. But it’s hard for me to see patriotism in giving free ad space to a man who enabled abortion and who supports homosexuals.

There’s a chance Romney will do the right thing if he’s elected. We all know there’s NO chance 0bama will do the right thing.
