If the candidates came with a vehicle:
Newt is U-Haul truck, and it’s full of baggage. However, within that baggage is a warehouse of great ideas, and a track record of fiscal responsibility, acceptable social conservative voting record (albeit not so much in his personal life), and a vision of the future that makes more sense than anyone else’s.
Mitt is a shiny limo, but all that’s inside of it is an empty suit and good hair. There are bottles on the shelf labeled “whiskey” and “vodka”, but inside, there’s nothing but plain water. We’ve tasted it, it tastes like water, but he insists it’s vodka and whiskey.
Perry is a big truck with Texas plates and horns on the hood, but it’s being driven by 38 illegal immigrants.
Santorum is a minivan full of his 7 kids and some nice shiny ideas, but, it’s a MINIVAN.
Ron Paul is a ‘77 Pinto. Cheap, efficient, and bare bones, but it’s so old and rusty nobody wants it.
I can’t think of any for the other candidates...
Very good;)
Huntsman’s is a made-in-China limo.
Bachman has a school bus for all her adopted kids.
If you’re faced with a u-haul with some good stuff and bad stuff you can unload the good and try to keep the bad stuff on....some of the bad will eventually get unloaded or just fall off. Everyone comes with baggage and has to be weighed as to whether the good stuff outweighs the bad. Everyone has to make that decision themselves and I personally try not to judge them. Baggage andf all I would take any of these candidates over Zero...even Mitt!!!
Cute.
I was playing around with ‘flavors of the week’ and came of with this:
Trump - taffy
Romney - neapolitan
Bachmann - flaky coconut
Perry - pecan pie
Cain - rocky road
Paul - chock-full-o’-nuts
Palin -
Gingrich -
Santorum -
Huntsman -
Good image!
But you forgot to mention that the U-haul also contains an unstable IED, a ticking time bomb, a/k/a Newt's big and occasionally uncontrollable mouth.
This bomb may go off during the primary season, or it may go off after Newt gets the GOP nomination, virtually guaranteeing that Newt's opponent will beat him handily.
Moreover, I predict that whether the explosion occurs in the pre- or in the post-primary season, the majority of today's hot-to-trot Newt-boosters will be asking themselves:
“What on Earth was I thinking? Why did I ever fall for this reprobate’s overblown verbiage? Why in the name of Creation did I ever support him?”
Pretty good analogy for Newt.
It’s the reason I’m staying agnostic about him. I’ll need to see Newt at least make it past Iowa without shooting himself in the foot before I’ll consider going out on a limb for him.
