For at least the past two years, Democrats have been putting conservatives and Republicans down as a bunch of nobodies. At a fund raiser in April, 2008, then candidate Obama, called us a bunch of bitter clingers. In April, 2009 as the tea party protests were gaining momentum, Nancy Pelosi called us astroturf.
A recent Gallup poll had President Obama in a statistical dead heat with an unnamed Republican candidate. The same poll showed that when a name was put in for the Republican candidate, the highest support was for Mitt Romney at 14%. You might ask, “What does this mean?” Well, what it means is that “nobody” is the favorite Republican candidate and, as of today, Nobody is in a dead heat against President Obama in the 2012 Presidential election.
I read the headline of the poll story today, thought about it for awhile and an idea hit me like broken clasp off of Dolly Parton’s bra…I’m a nobody!
Don’t mistake my comment. I’m not lamenting or feeling sorry for myself. Actually, I’m elated! Based on all of the comments from Democrat leadership over the past couple of years I’m Nobody. Gallup says that with a little effort, I could be the next president!
As I was contemplating whether it was conceivable to run for president (this is all rather sudden), Stephen Green aka Vodkapundit tweeted back:
Problem is, “Nobody” probably polls better against Obama than any of the likely GOP somebodies.
Upon hearing this, I first thought “Now I have trouble.” But, after thinking about it a bit more it dawned me; I’m not a GOP somebody. In fact, I’m a general Nobody and I’m also a GOP Nobody!
The way I see things there is no one who is a bigger general Nobody than me. Even if there was, there is certainly no one who is a bigger GOP Nobody than me! Based on Gallup, I can be President in 2012 with less effort than it takes me to write a post here a few days each week.
Therefore, after considering the “encouragement” from Vodkapundit, with no further ado, I, Shoebox, the biggest Nobody within the GOP, announce my candidacy for President of the United States! Please note that while Ralph Nader will also likely run as a nobody, he will not run as a GOP nobody!
While I would appreciate you telling other people about my candidacy, don’t bother, I’m Nobody so they won’t know me!
Here’s my first campaign poster. What do you think?
As long as I don’t have to be VP, (I wonder if we can reconsitute the Secretary of War cabinet position though)….
Vote Shoebox in 2012!!!!
