I was wondering when this old chestnut would finally appear about one of the GOP hopefuls...
Edited on Fri Jul-27-07 03:21 PM by pepperbear
In an e mail I received from the New Republic (I don't know why):

How did Fred Thomspon become the front-runner for the Republican nomination--before he has even declared his intention to run? In our latest issue, Michelle Cottle offers an explanation: Thompson, she says, projects an old-school masculinity that holds particular appeal for Republican voters. Subscribe today for only $9.97 to read the issue with this cover story.

Wow, it will only cost me $10 to find out more! Now just figure out who you'd rather have a beer with, and there's your ticket.

Nothing else seems to matter to them. No wonder Bush won.


:eyes:

Edited to add: and how does Fred become the front runner before even declaring? Because you're doing your best to make it so, fucknut! :hi:

2. They love jowls!
Jowls to them are sexy. Look at Nixon. I don't know why that is, but I can tell you that jowls are sexually attractive to Republicans. Don't get me started on wattles! They love those things too. Underarm skinbags? That's like a finely-turned breast is to others. There's no question that the perfect Republican candidate would be dragging skin all over - jowls, wattles, armbags, fallen knees and droopy buttocks would translate into votes, votes, votes.

"I miss my body, flabby, white, riddled with phlebitis-a good Republican body"

12. He also gave us this food for thought:
"Computers may be twice as fast as they were in 1973 but your average voter is as drunk and stupid as ever. The only one who's changed is me. I've become bitter, and let's face it, crazy over the years. And once I'm swept into office, I'll sell our children's organs to zoos for meat. And I'll go into people's houses at night and wreck up the place! Muhuhahahaha!"

Can anyone say that they know he's wrong?

9. It's the "daddy image" thingy that provides a comfort zone for them.
They can relax and go on about their business unfettered because "daddy" will always do the right thing. They don't have to think or "clutter their beautiful minds" - Daddy Duz It All....
These people are really sick....

11. "Old-school masculinity"--they must mean "Old-MAN masculinity"--
Yellow teeth, BO, cigar stink, liver spots, enough loose flesh to make two more people, and a perpetual "get-off-my-lawn" scowl. Yeah, baby!
