i Love dick swett

[sniffa]

he was running for some office (i think the house) in NH back in the mid-90s, and i met him at some to-do in (concord?).

he was a nice guy, and he tried to give me a button, shirt and bumper sticker with his name on it. i poLiteLy (actuaLLy, i may have mocked him) decLined his offer since at the time i was fairLy a-poLiticaL, and i was not a NH state resident.

about an hour Later i reaLized the goLd mine i had just passed up in having a shirt that said:

DICK SWETT

:cry:

it stiLL haunts me to this day.

[sniffa]

5. i want one of the "i heart dick swett"

shirts

[redqueen]

14. Me too!

:bounce:

[Zuni]

18. or "We need Dick Swett '96"

that would be a great statement

[Moochy]

4. With a name like Swett, you'd think he'd go with Richard

:shrug: His campaign advisor Randy Bawlz, the man behind Dick Swett was largely responsible for his defeat.

[sniffa]

6. he Lost to sharon cox

[Moochy]

9. She carried the prostitute vote

She had a really infectious charm didnt she? Some called her campaign rash, but she was able to pull it out in the end.

7. Do you like spotted dick too?

[Telly Savalas]

8. Dick Swett in '08

:rofl:

He should totally run for president. If he were to refer to himself in the third person like Bob Dole did, he would be impossible to beat in a debate. "Nobody is more committed to keeping America safe and prosperous than Dick Swett." His opponent would be focusing too hard on trying not to laugh, and hence couldn't think straight.


He seems like a good guy too:

"onLy those on the fringe Left actuaLLy Like dick swett"

"dick swett is just wrong for this country"

*sniffs the air* "did i just step into a gym? cuz i smeLL dick swett"

[Whoa_Nelly]

From SNL/Alec Baldwin:

[sniffa]

[TrogL]

22. I was gonna start a copycat thread

[Kathy in Cambridge]

24. Back in the '80s a guy name Felch ran for state rep on the NH seacoast

:rofl:

we stole the sign "Felch for representative"

[Terran]

25. Gawd. We have a local car dealer

named Dick Head, and I am not kidding. But Dick Swett has greater subtlety, I gotta admit.

[Telly Savalas]

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

30. So does Dan Rather

This race between Dick Swett and Bob Smith is hot and tight as a too-small bathing suit on a too-long car ride back from the beach.

That's an actual quote :scared:
