ROMNEY PICKS PETRAEUS ???

Drudge has a headline that Romney wants his VP to be Petraeus...........

Wow...that would be a slick move.......................... ....

He'd probably like to have Ronald Reagan as his VP mate too....neither of those things are going to happen. Petraeus has already issued a statement dousing Romney's hopes....couple of hours ago. Drudge didn't carry that one, eh?

You can hear about anything on the gunge report...

If Romney wants to win the election, he must convince Condolezza Rice to be VP.

I don't know, she's sharper than most people in Washington, and even though she served under Bush, I don't consider her a Washington insider. She served, did an outstanding job, and has not been in the media like the rest of the opportunists.

Why? Why?

Slick move, my ass! Surely, you must be joking!

General Petraeus? What does he bring to the table?

Wasn't he the general who clonked his head on his desk during a live interview not that long ago? No one said what happened.

He should be admitted to a hospital not put on the ticket!

. . . That guy has some serious health issues!

First, what qualifications would a washed up, and largely failed, general have for the job? Second, Romney doesn't do surprises. He's the most white bread, plain vanilla guy in the room. Portman or TPaw would be the two guys I'd predict head the list.

There has been a minor boomlet of talk around Paul Ryan in the past week or so, too. I can't imagine Romney is dumb enough to pick him. Ryan has actually put on paper a proposal that can be scored and shows how horribly flawed and reactionary Republican "reform"really is. But it's possible that Romney has drunk the Kool-Aide and thinks he can peddle chickenshit and sell it as chicken salad. But I think his political people are smarter than that (as shown by his stubborn, and smart unwillingness, to give details on his own tax "plan".)

If he is so "washed up" and void of qualifications, why did Obama put in in charge of the CIA ?


Biden is the empty suit idiot, not Petraeus !

For someone like you, to call a great man like General Petreaus "washed up and largely failed" is sickening. You're not fit to shine Petreaus' shoes. If you had attempted to do Petreaus' job, you would have failed completely and probably had a nervous breakdown.

THE MAN IN THE ARENA
Excerpt from the speech "Citizenship In A Republic"
delivered at the Sorbonne, in Paris, France on 23 April, 1910

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

TTH is not fit to shine Petraeus' shoes, that is true. But he has enough money to hire someone to do it for him. Just ask him.

There's lots of money in slip and falls and whiplash if you've got the right "expert witnesses" and don't mind defending illegal aliens.
