With only Six Dwarves left, Snow White opts out of GOP Nominating Process

[Keith Bee]

WASHINGTON — The more Republicans get to know their potential White House candidates, the less happy they are with their choices.

It's not that they dislike the individual candidates. They just give them a collective shrug as possible opponents for President Barack Obama. They'd like someone with a little more pizazz. Some 45 percent now say they're dissatisfied with the GOP candidates who have declared or are thought to be serious about running, up from 33 percent two months ago, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll. Just 41 percent are satisfied with the likely Republican field, down from 52 percent. Plenty are holding out for somebody else.

In North Carolina, retiree Robert Osborne is hoping New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will decide to run. In Indiana, farmer Brent Smith wishes Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour hadn't backed away. In Georgia, stock clerk Susan Demarest would love to see somebody more like Ronald Reagan.

Ohio's William Johnson just wants somebody who's not a "cold fish."

"I was ready to go until tonight," Ms White was quoted as saying, "but, with Huckabee gone, the magic number is destroyed."

When asked if Romney, Bachmann, Palin, Pawlenty, Paul, Gingrich and Cain would suffice, the fairy-tale favorite declared, "Those seven give Dwarves a bad name!"

1. 2012 is shaping up as the Dems' to lose . . .

Which is not to say I doubt their ability to do so. However, since all that's required is a bit of money and a smidgen of message discipline ("Republicans are insane tools of the plutocrats!"), I'm reasonably optimistic.

[Keith Bee]

3. LOL! I don't doubt that ability, either.

But yeah, it would take something really, REALLY big to defeat Obama next year. A video of him killing a nun, shot by James O'Keefe and edited by Andrew Breitbart, simply won't suffice.

6. The dems are pretty good at snactching defeat from the jaws if victory.

2. "love to see somebody more like Ronald Reagan."

.... and the problem the GOP has is the man who's like Reagan .... is Obama.

I dont mean from a policy perspective, but one of likability.

It's not like there's some talented, charismatic dude in the offing that's not running. The closest they have is Christie and look at him .... literally, LOOK at him.

The only one who can beat Obama is Obama.

4. Ya beat me to the quote - but that's who the GOP is seeking -

a genial, good looking white guy to fill an empty suit and do the photo ops while business as usual goes on in the background.

8. At this point

they really wouldn't do themselves any harm by digging up Reagan's rotting corpse, reanimating him (somehow), and running him for POTUS! :eyes:

9. Love that Onion!

Hilariously funny, and more than a little scary, as the real news gets closer and closer to it.

13. sing a song for the governor of California, Ronald Ray-Gun...Zap

DRUG STORE TRUCK DRIVIN' MAN

by James Roger McGuinn and Graham Parsons

(as performed by Joan Baez and Jeffrey Shurtleff at Woodstock)



"Hello to all the friends of the draft resistance revolution in America. Good evening. I hope it stops raining. One thing about the draft resistance that's different from other movements and revolutions in this country is that we have no enemies, and that's one of the beautiful things about it. And to show that our hearts are in the right place, we'd like to sing a song for the governor of California, Ronald Ray-Gun…Zap!"



He's a drug store truck drivin' man,

And he's the head of the Ku Klux Klan.

When summer comes rolling around,

We'll be lucky to get out of town.



He's been like a father to me,

He's like the only dee-jay you can hear after three.

And I’m an all night singer in a country band

And if he don't like me, he don’t understand.



He's a drug store truck drivin' man,

And he's the head of the Ku Klux Klan.

When summer comes rolling around,

We'll be lucky to get out of town.



He's got him a house on the hill,

And he can play country records till you've had your fill.

And he's a lawman's friend, he's an all night dee-jay,

Sure don't think much like the records he plays.



He's a drug store truck drivin' man,

And he's the head of the Ku Klux Klan.

When summer comes rolling around,

We'll be lucky to get out of town.



He don't like resistance I know,

And he said it last night on a big TV show.

He's got him a medal that he won in the war,

Weighs five hundred pounds and it sleeps by the door.



He’s a drug store truck drivin' man,

And he's the head of the Ku Klux Klan.

When summer comes rolling around,

We'll be lucky to get out of town.

We'll be lucky to get out of town.

5. Maybe they could convince Tom Selleck to run

[Randy_P]

10. "I support violence against the Holocaust"

Mr. Selleck said that in 1996...

[graywarrior]

12. Or Gary Oldman?

[boppers]

11. Mouth breathers would freak out about his role in "In and Out".

Great movie, BTW.

[rpannier]

7. someone more like Reagan

You mean someone who will raise taxes
Cut corporate loopholes
Bale out of a combat zone
Raise the cap on Social Security

or does she mean the one of mythology?

Do I really have to ask?
