Hannity & Colmes: Are You Ready For The M&M Ticket?

Karl Rove, that all-knowing Bush's Brain, appeared on last night's Hannity & Colmes to tout his unbeatable GOP ticket for the presidential election: McCain/Romney, or the "M&M ticket". Nice. Besides putting in mind slightly creepy visions of little round candies with Romney's hair, can you imagine the two guys who couldn't call each other"liberal" often enough together? From NewsMax (click on the link if you want to give them hits, relevant portion below):

According to Novak, Rove and other GOP bigwigs want Romney in the No. 2 spot despite the bad blood that exists between the former Massachusetts governor and McCain, an enmity that grew out of their heated rivalry during the Republican presidential primaries.

Insiders say that having Romney, who is worth between an estimated $190 million to $250 million, would bring an infusion of big bucks into the cash-strapped McCain campaign. Moreover, conservatives unhappy with McCain (like author Ann Coulter) who are threatening to vote for the Democratic candidate say they'll back McCain if he picks Romney.

So the talking heads who couldn't influence the voters into voting for the most conservative candidates wants to force the candidate they're stuck with a guy he can't stand as VP? The whole country is recognizing that conservatives have not done well in governing and are moving to the left and Turdblossom is trying to force them to the right again? Why is this guy considered a political genius? Master of dirty tricks and propaganda, maybe, but if the polls are to be believed, Rove is trying to steer the GOP right into the iceberg.

And just when you think things can't be more absurd, Rove butters up the huge raging ego of host Sean Hannity by floating the notion of a McCain / Hannity ticket. Got to give Colmes credit for not getting sick right then and there.

We will see what power the pundits have over the sheeple!!

My prediction is the repubics will find a VP that appeals to a large enough voter block to try in win based on joining a few special interests.

With McCain they have the warlovers
If they have Huckabee as VP they'll get the evangelicals

If they think this is enough to win they'll do it without any care for how much more disjunct it all becomes.

Remember, the blow-hard Rove was on Faux Noise, consequently he was speaking to
that 20 something percent of idiots who still think that bush is God, so personally,
it matters little to the rest of us informed/educated voters what the prick Rove says.

I can't imagine Romney volunteering to be second fiddle. He's only ever been a boss.

Those folks would be hilarious if they weren't so dangerous.

They have a track record of manipulating otherwise decent working folks into voting for their henchmen. The voters are too easily swayed into voting completely against their self interest.

We saw this in Michigan with the 'Reagan Democrats', poor deluded people.

It can happen again.

Hey Romney, lets get back into the race and blow another $42 million of your own money on a guy you hate! HELLL YEAH!! XD

Wouldn't that be the "G and G" ticket? you know, Gramps and Goodhair.

Basically they want someone healthy to take over if McCain kicks the bucket or his Alzheimer's sets in before his first year is up.

The strategy should be obvious. "Insurance Policy".

RueMorgue's picture

That could backfire if it happens. Fundies are very picky-choosey when it comes to their fellow cultists; Romney's being a Mormon could give them the impetus they need to try to field the Huckster on a third-party ticket.

On the contrary, this gives the right-wing christianists the chance to talk about being subject to "religious persecution." They love being the victim. War on Christmas, anybody?

I think this is probably the Republicans best chance.

Monday's contributions to the McAKAlist, in 'high' definition:

McGrapeNuts – for that serial diarrhea-mouth he keeps coming down with.

McGook – the Hanoian Candidate.

Mcfucked-up – when he pushes the ‘mushroom’ button next year, the nurse’ll just give him his meds and change his diaper.

McBiologist – time a’resolve his confusion soon, and his VP will be picking a VP.

McPharmacist –‘s wet dream, between the Viagra and the Vicodin.

McAbel – is missing un-likely to turn up as the rapture is real-He crazy too.

McBlindedByScience – his mercurial temperament has been defective since birth, obscuring his reason for life.

McSeniormoments – his wide immigration stance upsets xenophobe sentinals.

McHagee – McBFF popephobe giveths props to the sit-kneel-standers for being satanic enough to make him look good enough to marry, and takeths away the Kosher contingent. The McHagee is an Indian-giver of biblical proportions, the fat fuck. This is the Gospel of McHagee according to John.

McInconsistent – consistently. Or a possible misspelling of McIncontinent.

McHurlinCrap – wants to move into chimpy’s cage when he’s done trashin’ it.

McGhostOfRonRaygun – proof of the transmigration of soiled souls, or Spartan succubuses.

McTooF'nSenileToWin - McAKA for mixed company.

McDualPersonalityDisorder – McDoingwelldelusional+McDuelingbanjosonaloop.

McOutToLunchOnTheWhackoExpress – otherwise known as the McBrownbagbustour.

McWhatTheHellEverPossessedThisHalfDeadHalfBraindeadBastardToRunForPrez – maybe Donohue knows a McExorcist…

McOneHappyMealShortOfAFullMenu – McLosthismarbles a long time ago.

McCrocs - ‘cause he’s evolved from flip flops too, ‘cept he’s got no sole to filet them with – too punny, says the devil, but tasty nonetheless.

McCrazyCain – Tweety’s closet man-crush makes his Mathews Meater hard, to explain, which is impotent to know one.

Keep McPileing on C&L'ers! The current McList numbers 456 and the entire list and/or links will be posted on
McDamnthisisgettingtobeareallllyfuckinglonglistalmostlikeafulltimejob and/or Open threads Sunday, and the previous day’s contributions the rest of the week, John permitting.

“Shorter lists are funnier” generally holds true, and very well may re the McList. C&L’ers are diverse and eclectic, and I’ve enjoyed many lols, LOLs, LOL!s and Ha ha’s here. I’m reluctant to exclude any McEntry, ’cause they’re all funny/pointed/cathartic to varying degrees, and the sheer length of the entire list has a humorous quality of its own. We are also generating denigrating McMemes, some of which may be useful, in a memie sort of way. The thuglicontards are very aware of the usefulness of denigrating memes, and it won’t hurt to put out a few of our own. That being said, a Top 11, Dirty Dozen, etc. are considerations, for those (myself included, usually) who like things condensed to essentials.

Will update at my convenience or tolerable inconvenience on pertinent threads.

Agree w/you completely. In fact, would not surprise me greatly if the MSM political
pundits announce a winner here in Texas within 15 to 30 minutes after polls close..
with, I think, them declaring Obama the winner. Not that I am favoring Obama or
Hillary(whichever wins is fine with me), but sure would be GREAT if, like in 1954 with
Dewey predictions, they were wrong just for once.

Oh yeah - Because Romney was such a hit in the primaries - they would be unbeatable?

Nothing he could do will turn the trick. The Republicans are a side show.

Barack Obama and Hillary are figuring who will be president now.

Well.... I guess noone IS going to kick that fat fuckers ass (sigh)...OK, fine then.... My opinion on his latest offering to politics and America's well being... SUCKS!

McCain & Mitt??!!! good grief Charlie Brown.... Gee.. So, just what the hell happened to Karl in his youth that made him so damed determined to ruin this nation anyway?? Did he get dropped on his head? Maybe his mommy didn't hold him enough?? ... Maybe someone made fun of his attempts to roller skate at the roller rink at an impresionable age? Maybe he got picked on by the School jock and ignored by his first crush... I dunno, but I'd really like to know, because ever since he crawed up out of the devisive oooze that is republican politics, he ain't been nothing but ten kinds of Lee Atwater bad times twenty for this nations politics..... He's a freakin slimeball noone with any sense should listen too..

And just because my frustration with him and his ilk might sound like ad hominem attacks on the man doesn't make his 'contributions' or lack thereof to our nations leadership and policies any less true. His visions are ruining the nation and he is, has been and will remain... A slimeball... And that's the best I can come up with to describe him. Most any other discription will involve many four letter words, and not a one of them will be love............Go away Karl, you've done quite enough at this point..JD

It is sort of annoying that when a republican "threatens" to vote for a Dem, they will, in the end, be voting for someone who is looking out for the greater public interest, including their worthless hide.

Most people dislike Romney. Picking him would make McCain look like a hypocritical sellout. Would Romney be VP in charge of corporate greed? You think Romney would spend his fortune to elect McCain? McCain would have to hire a food taster.

"And just when you think things can’t be more absurd, Rove butters up the huge raging ego of host Sean Hannity by floating the notion of a McCain / Hannity ticket."

Golly, I'm glad I didn't catch that! I enjoyed my dinner tonight and I sure wouldn't want it on the floor in front of my TV.

I would rather have McFlipFlop than Mr Bush or anyone else who never changes. Bush is anything but flip flop, which is why he is such an idiot. If you find something is wrong/bad/incorrect, you should change, but no, Bush didn't... he is still running this country into the same stupid direction... into the ground. Personally, I think McCain would do the same, which is why I think Mitt would be the best balance of a running mate. As for his religion, it is irrelevant. He could be a Mormon, atheist, Buddhist or whatever, and I would think the same thing. For once, we might actually have someone with a set of brains on his shoulders. I would much rather have someone who can look at the issues push genuine change than have a stubborn old bastage like Bush in the drivers seat. Yeah, Romney has money, but give me a break... he didn't get that money because of his good looks. He is smarter than a good 99% of most, and has a track record to prove it.

Honestly, the ONLY way I would ever vote GOP this round is if Romney is on the ticket. If not, I think I might go fishing on election day.
