If it hadn’t been for Donald Trump you would have been forced to vote for YEB!
It’s the Bush League Republicans that are cruel.
They had US in a box voting endlessly for their amnesty candidates.
Bye, Mitt.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unfortunately, the Morons of Utah are going to elect him to the Senate.
We’ll be seeing a lot more of Willard.
Bret “I like beer” Kavanaugh: 100 kegs his senior year of high school.
Mittens Willard Romney: Cut a classmate’s hair with scissors in kindergarten, wears magic underwear.
I sincerely hope this episode means things are getting back to normal. Nice to see the suburban female support for Dems drop by 21% over the past two weeks.
That's what makes this insane spectacle all the more crazy and so much more damaging to the Dimwits. He was always meant to be a compromise candidate that the RINOs could vote yes for with little fanfare. This truth has been seemingly forgotten by almost everyone.
Kavanaugh’s most ardent supporter has probably been fellow Yale graduate and partier, President GW Bush. And the most impassioned speech on the Senate floor in support of Kavanaugh came from none other than Senator Lindsay Graham. These are people not so popular in these quarters. But uniting our party is important for the upcoming midterms and this has been a cathartic event.
I doubt whether President Trump could have anticipated that any of this would have worked out this way, but if he did then he and his advisors are the most brilliant political strategists in hstory.
The same is true of Gorsuch (an establishment Bushie pick who clerked for Anthony Kennedy and who says abortion and gay marriage and super duper settled law) and a bunch of conservatives had orgasms over the Gorsuch pick, even though the lefties DIDN'T try to lynch him. Everyone acted like he was a clone of Jesse Helms, and STILL does.
I have a hunch that if Trump had nominated Harriet Miers for SCOTUS instead of Bush, FReepers would have been thrilled with the pick and gushed over Miers as a "Scalia-type judge who is a proven originalist, strict constructionist, textualist, and a devout Christian woman"
What a dip wad! Where’s he been all this time? Fa fa fooey!!!
Hmmm, which way is the wind blowing in Utah or wherever he is?
FUMR.
Is THAT right? I may be mistaken, but wasn’t it just last week, old mittens weighed in, in favor of more FBI investigation of Kavanaugh? Now all these jerks are jumping on the Kavanaugh train to win votes. DESPICABLE!
They needed the investigation to give them cover.
They didn’t even expect Ford to show up, much less get the support that she got originally.
I didn’t “emotionally” oppose Giuliani in 2008, since I pointed out that he DID drastically improve NYC on his watch (while Willard was simply a horror). I also believe, unlike Deep State operatives Willard and McQueeg, Giuliani would NOT have played ringer to Zero. He did take out the execrable Dinkins, so we know he wasn’t going to pull punches. But, as it turned out, he was the wrong New Yorker to back.
When Fred Thompson got out of the race, as with 2012, I backed no one. I thought the whole primary filled with losers and the worst of the worst required clearing the whole thing out and drafting outsiders. 2008 and 2012 were the absolute nadir for the GOP when it came to Presidential nominees. Some say 1936 and 1940, but at least Gov. Landon and Wendell Willkie were trying to win.
Hope he never gets the chance to be there for a vote...supported him over Obama but I would have supported a sentient dog turd over Obama.
In retrospect, it was obvious that no one on our side really “had it” in 2008, even if Zero stumbled badly.
And yes, I know McTurd led briefly-—largely due to Palin.
You recall we were initially big on Fred Thompson. Unfortunately, Thompson entered politics 20 years too late. He should’ve gone to the House in the ‘70s, Senator or Governor in the ‘80s and Presidential contender in the ‘90s.
Thompson really burned out during the Chinagate Hearings. He honestly expected the Democrat Senators would cooperate a la Watergate to “get to the truth.” Instead, he got a taste of treason and backstabbing led by the fake hero John Glenn. He was truly floored. He didn’t realize that Democrats don’t ever cooperate in investigating their own. Just imagine if Republicans had behaved that way in protecting Nixon. His disgust for Glenn was such that when CNN went to Thompson for a “feel-good” soundbyte on Glenn’s retirement, Thompson told them that what he had to say about Glenn couldn’t be repeated on a family-friendly network.
I hadn’t realized how sick of Washington he was by 2002 after barely 7 years in office. He wanted out and was hesitantly persuaded to run again, but thought about it and just didn’t want to spend 6 more of his declining years in the cesspool and dropped out (which unfortunately left us with Lamar! instead of Rep. Ed Bryant).
In a better country, Fred Thompson would’ve made an excellent President. Straightforward honesty and no guile. In a country infested with parasites, represented by a criminal party that rebukes God at their convention, there’s no place anymore for such gentlemen. That shows just how far down we’ve gone, and shame on those that have pushed us to this point.
He is likely to get 60% to 70% of the vote, I am voting 3rd party, however, Romney will be the next senator from Utah.
I wonder if family tragedy also contributed to Thompson leaving Washington. His daughter Elizabeth died in January 2002 from an accidental prescription drug overdose.
Yes, that was a factor as well. That was about the time or right after he announced his retirement.
Yes
And Fred’s debtate performance in 2008 was near equal to his capabilities
Of course we were so used to his character acting which was so endearing
Folks conflate thst ease with debating
His wife was so cute....I wonder if she remarried
I imagine you are right - hope he’s been taking notes....
