The Thurston Mittens the 3rd Veep Megathread

[Phillip V]

I'll give Romney one thing, for a 65 year old he looks damn good.

A lifetime of exercise and no alcohol or caffeine will do that to you.

But Romney looked much better at age 64. He put on some facial weight over the winter and has not yet gotten rid of it.

Similar to how McCain subconsciously picked a young attractive female to boost his ego with praises (Palin), Romney picks a young fatherless male to serve as an adopted son?

Right, because he doesn't have enough of them with the WASP preparatory version of the Boys From Brazil.

There can never be enough. Always need moar.

The Romney sons are currently looking at Paul Ryan with great jealousy.

You think they'll start with banging him in, Pelican Bay SP Latin Kings-style, or will they just do the hyena thing and wait for him to be separated from the pack?

Interesting to see the Republicans going with a ticket with zero foreign policy experience.

Hey, they did it in front of a battleship.  That'll be enough for FOX.

This pretty much seals it for me. Looks like I'll be voting Obama again.

And no military veterans on both the Democratic and Republican tickets.

I'm not sure what the movie soundtrack was, that was playing--wasn't Armageddon, wasn't Transformers--but it was something recent, patriotic and action-oriented, very Michael Bay-ish.  It's right *there* in my head, can't think of the movie.

Air Force One.

Different generations coming into play.  Mittens is the last of the generation of elitist Vietnam draft dodgers, Biden got his deferments and got bounced from the draft with asthma issues, Obama was too young for Vietnam, too old for Desert Storm, and Ryan...well, he went to college.

Don't worry, the next generation of ex-servicemen from Iraq and Afghanistan will be joining the political process;  some already have for mixed results.  Would be interesting to see how things look another 12-16 years down the road.  I have a feeling a lot of vets from these two wars will have a significantly interesting opinion on foreign policy.

Fuck, you are so right.  It was right *there*, man!

As seedy alluded to, our time will come.

Recent?

Recent? 

Well, it has been on cable the last couple months...

Weird that Obama's the only Protestant on either ticket. With the Supreme Court, a definite end to WASP America.
