U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan said Thursday he would love to see Mitt Romney run again for president and teased the GOP’s former nominee at one point that the “third time’s the charm.”

Appearing with Ryan at a public event for the first time since their ticket lost two years ago, Romney offered his own good-humored praise by saying that Ryan “wouldn’t be a bad president” himself.

Ryan, R-Wis., has said he will wait until after the midterm elections to decide whether to pursue his own presidential campaign in 2016. Romney has repeatedly denied any plans for another campaign for president. He failed to win the nomination in 2008 and then lost the election to President Barack Obama in 2012. …

Lib loving Romney assisted Obama and Biden by deciding Obama was a good man so he didn’t have to campaign.

Right now he and Ryan are on the Republicans should all run for amnesty tour together. If Romney had decided that Obama was rotten to the core and had actually tried to defeat him in 2012, know for certain that we would have amnesty already if they had won.

America had its chance to do the smart thing but it allowed the rise of Obama. Watch now as America pays the price of stupidity and complacecy. It will be terrifying to see the world without a strong America. This is just the beginning.

Ryan does not.care and that is why these two are not better than what is in there
I voted for these clowns

People are so intent on harassing those who did not vote for them

But logically it is just a difference of a slow insidious selling out of out country or a quick brutal one.

And the difference could mean people do not like it at all and vote conservative after bo or people still don’t get it and vote Marxist after four yrs of thes two

Not many conservatives who didn’t vote for these two will vote romp next time

In terms of our country’s future no these guys are not better than Bo.

but at the end of the day, a vote for Romney was a vote for leftism. If that's not assisting leftism, I don't know what is.


You nailed it perfectly.

FOUR million (4,000,000) Juan McCain voters "stayed home" and REFUSED to vote for the "predatory capitalist", Mormon-cult member, Pro-Obama Care and Pro-Gay Marriage ...

"Mitt Romney".



That's EXACTLY what the GOP-E wanted.

It was predictable by a third grader.

America had its chance to do the smart thing but it allowed the rise of Obama. Watch now as America pays the price of stupidity and complacency....

As opposed to watching America pay the price of sacrificing willingly the sole political venue for limited government conservatism, to leftists who will dismantled and destroyed it from within. Romney and RINOs embrace the same big-government principles as the Democrats.

You can vote for that and tell yourself that people who didn't "assisted" Obama if you want. You can believe in the tooth fairy -- er, that is, voting "against."

You will still have voted to assist leftism -- and LEFTISM is what threatens to create the terrifying scenario of a "world without a strong America."

The only thing that counts is what you vote FOR.

Most people have finally figured that out. What's taking you?

It’s just to make the point that conservatives winning in America isn’t as easy as getting a candidate who’s actually conservative, although without that we’ve got nothin’.

At least 40% of eligible-to-vote evangelicals either don’t vote or vote for the Dim. Evangelicals might be 30% or more of the electorate. Compare those numbers (or find some other credible ones) to the endless anxiety over Jews and Hispanics.
