No one wanted to be president less than Mitt Romney, his son said in an interview out Sunday that raises new questions about the candidacy of the losing Republican nominee.

In an interview with the Boston Globe examining what went wrong with the Romney campaign, his eldest son Tagg explains that his father had been a reluctant candidate from the start.

Yeah, the 2nd and 3rd debate made that as plain as day. Thanks for wasting our time and keeping Governor Palin out of the running, Milt.

[Cowboy Bob]

Of course all the news reports are that he’s thinking of running in 2016...

[fieldmarshaldj]

Tagg, you’re not supposed to tell folks your dad was a ringer for Zero.

[Arthur McGowan]

I didn’t want to be President, but I managed to stay out of the WH without spending $700,000,000.

Other comment:

We could tell.

The Mormons picked a skittish white horse to fulfill their prophecy.

[Blue Highway]

How old are Romeny’s sons? Can we expect to see them being groomed for 2020, 2024, 2028? Hope and pray we are still around by then.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Why ? Doesn’t the GOP have enough slick, Socialist weasels already ?

[Theodore R.]

Our Republican primary voters are so dense, they might well nominate Romney again. Twice they fooled with Dewey, who also lacked the fire in the belly.

[Soul of the South]

“He wanted to be president less than anyone I’ve met in my life. He had no desire... to run,” Tagg Romney said. “If he could have found someone else to take his place... he would have been ecstatic to step aside.”

There were other choices. As I recall Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachman, Ron Paul, Rick Santorum, Gary Johnson, Tim Pawlenty, Herman Caine, Rick Perry, Buddy Roemer, Thaddeus McCotter and Jon Huntsman were candidates at one time or another during the caucus and primary season. Had Romney chose not to run Palin might have thrown her hat in the ring.

Perhaps what Tagg is saying is the hidden king makers told Romney to run and lose. He was given an offer he couldn’t refuse and played his role perfectly.

Don’t forget Dole and McCain.

They just wanted the line on their resume—Not the office itself.

[cp124]

It showed.

Fellow MORMON Freeper Christians!!

 

I must apologize and ask for forgiveness from you all.

 

As you know, we at Headquarters NEVER tell you pew warmers how to vote. It says so right in our press releases. Anyway, we were ALL thrilled to the max when there were two – TWO! – MORMONs being touted in the primaries: Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman.

 

Talk in our upper chambers high above SLC was how our gods were favoring us with these men; who had prepared their entire lives for an opportunity to save this Nation; which so badly needs guidance: OUR guidance even! So naturally, I and the other twelve analyzed and discussed the situation.

 

Consensus was that the voters should listen to the inner urging and vote for the one they wanted; but that seemed to be leaving WAY too much to chance.

 

I decided, that since I am the ONLY man on earth that can hear GOD’s voice, that I would pray for wisdom and clarity in the matter.

 

I hadn’t used the fleece in a while, so I questioned GOD with a test. A paper, with Romney on one side and Huntsman on the other was to be placed by the air conditioning vent high above my desk in the sumptuous office the Full Tithers have provided.

When the air would kick in later in the evening, while I was home, the paper would be blown down and whomever GOD wanted would then be visible on the upper surface.

 

As you can probably guess, when I came in the next day, the paper had landed on my desk, with Mitt’s name on top.

Last night, I was staying late, praying to GOD about how it was even possible that Mitt lost, when the janitorial cleaning crew came in. Being surprised to find me here, they apologized for interrupting me. I said to them, “It mattereth not, as I was about to leave anyway.”

 

As I was going out the door, the foreman of the crew just happened to mention that my office is ALWAYS so neat and tiny, never anything out of place, that they barely have to do anything to tidy up. Then one of the sweepers said, “Except that time in the spring when we came in to clean and found a paper with Huntman’s name on the floor by your desk. We put it back on your desk and left.

 

 

Tommy M.

 

PS Keep praying that Huntsman will add an “H” to his name. Jon looks so dang effeminate!

 

Onward to 2016!!!

[Elsie]

The studio said that Marion sounded to sissified, and want to name me Jon Wayne; but I sure modified THAT!

[Vermont Lt]

Palin would not carry ten states.

As much as folk around here want to stare at her, she is done, over, kaput.
