Mitt Romney Warns Letterman About Sarah Palin: 'She has a rifle, you know'

“Now what about that Sarah Palin," says Letterman, who had to apologize for an off-color joke about the former Alaskan governor's daughter last year. "She’s not ready to be president, is she?”

“She’s terrific,” Romney rapidly replies to derisive audience laughter. “She really is! She’s terrific. She’s got energy, passion – by the way, you know, be careful what you say about her.”

Letterman says he knows.

Romney adds with a smile, “She has a rifle, you know.”

Yes. Romney is not Jesus Christ.

Romney got zero votes in the FR poll? That’s not surprising since most Romney supporters have either left on their own or been zotted.

You have an odd way of measuring things then.

Romney wanted to be reelected and since he was the fourth Republican governor in a row and started out fine, it was something that he thought he could pull off.

By the time the people saw his inability to govern, they abandoned him and he slinked out of office with his 34% approval, turning the seat over to Democrats in the following election.

Palin never did fund raising for Planned Parenthood, she was not donating to and doing fund raising for Democrat Party candidates in their races against Republicans.

Governor Palin was always a Republican, she did not drop her Republican registration to protest Reagan.

Palin is not a compulsive liar and fake, Romney is.

Somewhere I have a picture of me in the cockpit of an F-4 Phantom from many years ago.

Doesn’t mean I was a fighter jock, just on vacation..

If Romney actually said that on national television, he is an [expletive deleted], a real big fat [bleep] blankety-blank.

That is revealing, you post that photo as though it means something.

Romney doesn't own a gun and appears to never have, yet in 2006 as he starts to run in the primary, he buys a lifetime membership to the NRA for political reasons.

That is typical of Romney and his shallowness and his cynicism, the man is probably a sociopath, he is definitely a compulsive liar.

Mitt Romney's compulsion to lie is just too powerful for him to control.

"Suddenly, a heavyset man wearing a bright-orange cap entered the room. “Mr. Romney,” he called out. “Eric Orff—I’m a hunter.”

It was a potentially awkward moment. Earlier this year, Romney claimed that he’d “been a hunter pretty much all my life.” A few days later, he said in a statement, “I’ve hunted small game numerous times.”Four days after that, Romney told W. Gardner Selby, of the Austin American-Statesman, “Any description of my being a hunter is an overstatement of capability.” Still, he couldn’t resist. “You’re a hunter?” he said to Orff. “Well, same here. Good to see ya.”

Nothing funnier than to see the same freepers explain why it’s perfectly rational for Palin to endorse McCain, but terrible that Romney did it.

Bottomline: Sarah Palin isn't perfect, neither is Mittens McRomneyCare.

If I have to choose b/w the two, I'll take Sarah Palin every day of the week and twice on Sunday over that slick used-car salesman.

Why would that be?

The bashers here just keep reposting spam to attack Romney because they know he is going to take their boy down in 2012. Notice how they never attack Obama and spend all their time bashing Romney? IMO, probably covert trolls from DU trying to poison the well.

Might be the SPAM. Or bad manners. Or both. I imagine people leave for lots of reasons.

Maybe "covert trolls from DU" post threads like this?

If there is anyone here who doesn't understand why we cannot support a slick socialist politician like Mitt Romney, God help you, but you're on the wrong website. We went through this with the abortionist, gay rights activist, illegal alien supporting, gun grabbing Rudy Giuliani until someone created another website call WAnkers for Rudy and they all flew the coop. Hopefully, before too much FReeper blood is shed, someone will create a WAnkers for Romney site and we can be left to fight the good fight as we see fit! FR is not for everyone!

Romney is the RINO version of John Kerry — a plastic, prestige hungry phony who will say anything for a vote.
