Romney, the backstabber who put in Obama,
MUST apologize to America for what he has done.

And that he did that atrocity, AFTER imposing both
RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE and gay marriage by his pen,
makes him the darling of the MSM and the GOP.

Scumrat Romney should get down on his knees
and beg forgiveness starting from the Palin family.

Scumbag Romney, darling of the DNC,
ruined the Mass. economy. Or does that not matter?

Nice to see you are still rabidly obsessed with Romney and blame him for Obama getting his second stab at us.

I like a little bit of consistency with my morning coffee.

Willard Romney attacked Gov. Palin for the first stab.

Empty Romney, as candidate, DID NOTHING, and gave us
Obama for the second stab.

Seems Mitt is responsible for both, by presuming he
was the anointed savior.

“Unfortunately what we really need right now IS a risk-taker, and someone who WILL rock the boat. Thats not Romney, never was and never will be.”

would Newt Gingrich be considered too old to rock the boat? or is Ted Cruz conservatives only hope ? but can he win, considering the 47% ++ who are the takers, along with the MSM complete devotion to Hillary?

The only person who wants Romney to run again is Romney, but unfortunately, he has enough money of his own to buy the slot again.

Not so sure that he does, though all the attention may turn his head. He didn't really want the job that much last time, so it's hard to make the case for running again.

But there is an opening for an elder statesman in the party -- speaking at fundraisers and conventions, raising money for the party -- and it's one that Mitt could fill.

If Hoover and Landon and Dewey were good enough as GOP elder statesmen, it's hard to argue that Mitt won't do, and at close to 70, he's certainly got the "elder" part down.

Arguably it would be better both for Mitt and the party and for his influence in the party if he didn't run, but politicians are vain creatures and all this publicity may be going to his head.

If grand scale lying, promotion of homosexual agenda and abortion, as well as surreptitious destruction of opponents = most decent, then I would agree with you. But I don’t think that is the case, so Mitt Romney is certainly not the most decent man to ever run for president.

let him run—if you don’t like him—work for the other guy in the Primary. He would be better than President Hillary! or President Holder, or President Liberal-Communist.

If we vote for (liberal) RINO’s, that’s what we’ll keep getting.

It’s a market issue, at base.

I'm not saying I liked everything about Romney, but to blame him vs. the voters for Obama is insane - a boat load of folks ignored the path Obama was on and decided that it was just fine and dandy to give him a second term to "teach the GOPe a lesson". Wow, they sure taught the GOPe a lesson, didn't they? Meanwhile, back on the ranch, the commies are in even more control.

It was Romney-the-Backstabber who protected and fed Obama.

Romney is solely to blame, even protecting the Impostor's lack of documentation.

Romney for Obama in 2011

“White House Quotes Romney in Defense of Health Care”



Mitt Romney Sends Leftover Pizza to Obama Chicago HQ
After spending the day in Chicago fundraising, Mitt Romney
sat down with small business owners at Gino's East,
a pizza joint famous for their deep-dish pizza.
In fact, Romney himself tweeted a photo of a
delivery boy heading out with the loot, writing,
"Great deep dish at @ginoseast.
Sending the extra slices to @barackobama and his Chicago HQ team."


The Rat Romney: "Obama was born in the United States"

The Rat Romney: "Obama Doesn’t Need a Birth Certificate"

The Rat Romney: "The citizenship test has been passed"


Mr. RomneyCARE has doomed America, like no one else.

Great - blame all our ills on Mitt - how many strong conservative politicians have came out and denied Obama's citizenship? Do you have a special hero who has done so?

Romney wasn't the best choice, but he understood the Constitution and stated that Romney Care was legal for a State to do, but Obama Care was illegal/un-constitutional for the Feds to impose on a Nation.

Romney was nominated because he seemed more electable than the rest of the field.

And because people like Ann Coulter was singing his praises on FOX News every freakin’ chance she got.

We have tried that and all we end up with is a communist, like Hillary.
