Thune

Ah, fiddlesticks, Thune Bag ain’t running

Like I have said in the past, I hoped and prayed Ironic Johnny would run, but I knew, it was all posturing just to get his name out there;

Sen. John Thune announced today that he will not run for president in 2012.

The two-term senator has spent months deliberating what he has described as a “gut-level” decision on his possible bid for the presidency.

In today’s statement, Thune said, “There is a battle to be waged over what kind of country we are going to leave our children and grandchildren and that battle is happening now in Washington, not two years from now. So at this time, I feel that I am best positioned to fight for America’s future here in the trenches of the United States Senate.”

Thune also added,

“We all know my pecker always points in the direction the wind is blowing, I mean, really, folks, unlike Dems, I try not to piss in the wind, but I never turn down a reach around.”

Please, Please, Please. It would be like a gift from blogger heaven if Thune ran for President (H/T – Helga)

John, your’e such a f’ing tease. Where’s the handcuffs and whips?

In an interview with ABC News, Sen. John Thune (R-SD) sounds like he’s increasingly likely to run for president.

Said Thune: “I think that these are interesting times. You always want to look at where you can best serve your country and make a difference and, obviously, there’s a big opportunity on the national field. There are a lot of good candidates out there. I don’t know, at this point, whether I’ll be one of those, but I want to be in a place where I can make a difference.”

How about a 5-Year Freeze on defense spending?

“Look, John made lunch again.”

Ironic Johnny Thune-Bag seems to be a little mixed up about national spending while responding to the president’s SOTU;

Republican John Thune says the president’s proposal for a five-year freeze on nondefense spending is “too little, too late.”

So what have you done since you have been in office to reduce spending John? Not a DAMN thing! In fact you have continually voted to support the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, two wars that have cost us too much in money and lives and only harms the view foreign nations have of us when it comes to diplomacy.

Thune says the national debt is growing at a trillion dollars annually, and the government needs to reverse the “out-of-control spending we’ve witnessed the past two years.”

The past two years? I guess you must have short-term memory loss. What about all the money you and Bush squandered before that?

I guess this response should not surprise me, I just can’t believe South Dakotans continue to eat John’s shit sandwiches.
