	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

The mainstream media will all endorse Mitt because they know he can’t win.

[novemberslady]

I saw him giving an interview this week. He said he is not running.

[arderkrag]

No. Not for the world on a silver platter would I vote for Mittens. If Satan himself ran as an independent capitalist in a replay of the 2012 election, then it’d be Lucy all the way for me.

[bert]

I heard Mitt tell Cavuto twice, probably three times, he was not running

[Victoria Delsoul]

Oh please don’t do it.

Do it for my kids, do not even try it, please, pretty please.

I just got a break between kids and family life to check FR and I have to read this? LOL!

But hey, it’s always nice to start with something funny.

[Wavy_Wally]

I voted for him last time because I thought he was the best choice, and I’ll do it again. Mitt Romney has my support—again—in 2016.

[jameslalor]

Can we have some real candidates, please? I swear, at this rate I wouldn’t be surprised to see Bob Dole on the ticket.

[Tennessee Nana]

there aint enough Botox to make Willard Mitt Dorian Grey Romney look younger than Hillary...

[Tennessee Nana]

Dorian's pic was prettier...

[lavaroise]

I thought he did not want to be president anyways... so why interfere?

[Finny]

Time for a new Party. The Republican party is trashed.

Voting for it is as stupid as voting Democrat because it's basically voting for the same thing.

Most Americans -- at least, the balance of them in legitimate voting numbers -- know this. It is WHY Romney lost and WHY he or someone like him would lose in 2016 or IF he won, would be full-bore statist leftist on homosexuality, abortion, health care, the environment -- people know this, at least the half-way cognizant legitimate voters. We're the majority -- the left has to cheat because of that fact.

Americans are a lot smarter than people give them credit, and in any case, they probably elected Mitt last time, but without my help (I voted 3rd party for the express purpose of reducing the liberal winner's mandate and am prepared to do so again). Vote fraud tips the balance; having a candidate whose only value is not being "the other guy," a means to vote "against" the other guy, makes people stay at home, though, so it had to have been surprisingly easy for the Democrats.

Romney would have been a good president. Not my first choice. Not even close. But he would have been good.

[cynwoody]

Rommey "is the only person that can fill the stage," said MSNBC host and former Republican congressman Joe Scarborough at a private dinner on the summit's opening night, according to The Washington Post.

"He would be a giant in a field of midgets," added Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer, a Democrat who's weighing a 2016 bid himself.

A giant who lost to a midget! What does that make him?

[weston]

IMHO we are going to need to run a candidate with military/foreign policy experience as well as executive/budget experience. We need a conservative with both creds to beat the Rats and pull our country out of its downward spiral.
I’m not sure who that person is. Ideas?

[Scoutmaster]

Please. Not in my lifetime.

[DoodleDawg]

Romney once worried he'd be branded a "loser for life" by his party if he failed to unseat the president, but it hasn't quite worked out that way. Despite the crowd of up-and-comers at his summit, many people there were more abuzz about the possibility that Romney himself could jump into the race in 2016.

What will being branded a "two time loser for life" do for him?

I've heard that it's Ann Romney who is pushing him for another run. She must really want to be First Lady.

[Colonel_Flagg]

including Christie, Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Rob Portman, R-Ohio, Gov. Susana Martinez, R-Ohio, former Gov. Mike Huckabee, R-Ark., and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who was Romney's running mate in 2012.

In order .. hell no, no, no, no, absolutely not and are you kidding?

True. Conservatives knew Mutt was a loser long before he ever ran for President.
