Mittens, in necktie, drives his pick-up. It's real 'cause it's got scratches. Really.

Mitt Romney Is Driving a Pickup Truck to Fundraisers Now

Mitt Romney, who sleeps in a blue blazer, red power-tie and khaki slacks, drove his ol' pickup truck to a New Hampshire fundraiser yesterday. Will this "proletarian-car" populist approach help him, as it did Sen. Scott Brown? Unlikely.

1. oh, this is rich

He's a phony as the lesser-senator-from-MA that he seems to be emulating. Peas in a pod :puke:

[Submariner]

2. OMFG....Now I've seen everything

OMFG...Mittens wants to be Scott Brown....OMFG I can't believe I saw that. :puke:

I can't believe this pussy is pulling this pickup truck sh*t. What a desperate weenie.

[Th1onein]

11. Like this weenie?

14. Now that is indeed the hands down winner

That was almost painful to watch. It makes Mittens makeover look like chump change. If I was Big John, I'd be so embarrassed and I'd relocate myself alone to that island in the movie 'Castaway'.

Yup..Big John out weenied my homeboy (carpetbagger) Mittens.

[TygrBright]

17. That is pure weenie gold!

gee, I wonder why they disabled the comments for that one?

amusedly,

29. Oh my lord! Sometimes...I'm just embarrassed to be from Texas.

[Andy823]

3. Yeah but

Wait till Palin starts coming to events in a "covered wagon", or Huckabee riding a dokey! These phony republicans will try anything to look like down home folks, when in reality they have way to much money and are being backed by the really big money on wall street, the banks, and the super rich! They make a lot of promises about wedge issues, immigration, gay marriage, etc., but never do anything once elected, yet the morons who vote for them keep doing it over and over and over because they have been told to fear illegals, gays, Muslims, and of course socialism! It's all a big game they play every election year, and instead of actually coming up with a plan, they just use fear and smear to get the votes of those who are so scared they rarely come out of their house!

15. LOL

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

28. "Vote for me!"

[flamingdem]

4. He needs to wear old, worn out magic underwear to match the regular guy image nt

[metapunditedgy]

5. Does it have leather seats? n/t

[Arkansas Granny]

6. LOL! Shades of Fred Thompson, who apparently drove his old red pickup

to rallies, only to ditch it as soon as he was out of sight. I wonder if it will work out any better for Mitt.

26. That was my first thought too

What a phony

[rurallib]

7. Hey, Mitt, can you tie a dog on top of that?

How will we know it is yours?

30. How else would the truck get scratched? n/t

[Bozita]

8. How are his sons doing? Any of 'em in uniform yet?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

9. Nah, they all served their country by working on his last campaign.

:patriot:

20. toughed it out in that deluxe camper.

10. He's handed us something that can stick: He's Oliver Wendell MITTENS

(from Wikipedia: ) "Oliver and Lisa wear metropolitan clothes unsuited for farm life: Oliver a three-piece suit, even going so far as to have a specific suit for a specific task, leading to comments by townspeople such as "He's wearing his plowing suit". Lisa wears jewelry, heels, and expensive dresses, although she did dress down for tasks outside of the house."

12. Needs a roof rack for the dog.

Other than that, there's nothing wrong with him a good brainwashing wouldn't cure.

[lunatica]

13. My first thought was 'gas guzzler'

It reminded me of the BP Oil Gusher.

[NBachers]

18. Yup- Just stopped off on the way to his blue-collar construction job down at the Ol' Mill

[smokey nj]

19. Mittens is a dork of the highest degree.

[rurallib]

21. and he thinks we are fooled by a billionaire in a pickup

Well only half of us are, Mitt!

[smokey nj]

23. If he drove up in an orange '79 Ford Fairmont with a garbage bag

duct taped to where the rear passenger side window used to be, I might be impressed.

[rurallib]

25. and he'd spend $150,000 for that look

[smokey nj]

31. And still wear the tie as well.

[Cleita]

22. For one, you better be pretty well off to afford that truck.

If he really wants to be really populist, I have a twenty five year old beat up old Mazda pick-up he can borrow. It doesn't get anymore populist than that.

[Stevenmarc]

24. He's missing the Mossy Oak seat covers and camo wrap

[SmileyRose]

27. I THINK IT'S RENTED !!!

Follow the link to the video. It shows him holding the keys. I'm pretty sure I can see the plastic case key ring they give you when it's a rental !!!

LOL

[Th1onein]

32. You're right!

I saw that, too. And, you notice that Romney conveniently neglected to say that he owned the truck, or that it was his? And, even the news guy didn't exactly say it, either--it must be Romney's because it's got scratches on it, he says, instead.

I wonder if someone here can get a screen shot of that license plate and run it to see who it actually belongs to?

[SmileyRose]

33. Oh geesh

now if the power elite want to give us a diversion from the fact they are using both sides to screw 95% of Americans this would be one juicy bit............

Oh gawd let it be rented......... snicker. Forget the eeeeelegals or teh gays........ gimme the Dorkmaster !!!
