Unbelievable: "Romney Prepared One Speech; a Victory Speech"

This was found on another website:

Romney Prepared One Speech; a Victory Speech

Per Carl Cameron on FOX. Romney has no concession speech prepared, doesn't believe he'll need it.


I can believe Faux would say such a thing, but I'm not sure even Romney is that arrogant. He's arrogant, but that arrogant? That stupid? Thinks he's going to win in a landslide, not even close? Nah.

Really, I think it's some kind of Divine Right delusion. Both he & the Snow Queen have it.

If his campaign doesn't have two speeches prepared and would allow him to be caught with nothing to say, it would amount to political malpractice.

What he wants as long as ends on the appropriate concession to President Obama. Then he and his clan can exit stage door left. PROMPTLY.

He's gotten everything he's ever wanted in life but this. And this is the closest he's ever been so of course he thinks he's going to win. He is nothing if not ambitious. He's an ambitious man and that's why he wants to be president, for the title and the ultimate power trip.

He dodged his duty to his country by going to France to try to convince Catholics they should believe in the God Elohim that lives near the planet Kolob and that if you are sealed to your wifey in a secret Masonic ritual that reminds of something out of DisneyWorld, you can be a god too and keep your wifey eternally pregnant making your peeps for your own planet.

So I doubt he would even have the courage to come out and accept defeat.

If Romney is even telling the truth about this and he is not known for telling the truth, it is probably mostly superstition. ...and arrogance. Writing a concession speech means he is saying that losing is possible. Superstition. We are talking about a man who wears magic underwear.

If he wins, he gives the victory speech.

When he loses, he doesn't give a speech at all. Conceding is a tradition rather than a requirement. (Besides, do you REALLY want to sit there and watch Ann Romney sneer at the rest of us another time?)
