Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney , the Republican presidential nominee in 2012, told a meeting of donors Friday that he is considering another White House bid in 2016, people present said.

The possibility of a third Romney bid could upend the emerging GOP field, coming as top Republican donors are starting to rally behind former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

Mr. Romney made the remarks during a session Friday afternoon -SNIP-

Spewing anti-Reagan propaganda makes you a liar!

Another Red Hampshire ‘conservative’ gets outed on FR AND rides the lightning!

I wish he was running right now. I miss Ronnie Reagan, bigtime.

So does the rest of humanity....

So Reagan sucks, and you wouldn’t vote for him, fine, thanks for sharing.

I'm confident that it's pretty clear from my postings on this thread that that's exactly the opposite of what I said.

It's also pretty clear to me that you're upset with me for trying to help you elsewhere with your personal issues. For what it's worth, I'm sorry that I upset you.

But your temper tantrum won't get me interested in any flame wars.

I believe that Ronald Reagan was the second best president in this nation's history, after George Washington, and ahead of Abraham Lincoln. I like to think that if he were in a primary today, that I'd be smart enough to vote for him.

But I'd have a hard time getting past his pro-abortion vote, and I know I'm alone in that sentiment.

Did you like his claim that he was from the most conservative county in America?

His county voted for Obama in 2008, and went for Romney by 51.7% in 2012, in 2012 the GOP gov candidate got 51% there.

I see, so “you” would vote for Reagan, but you want to tell the rest of us, over our protests and explanations, that we wouldn’t.

was it something I said ???

[who knows what evil?]

I saw it...he’s typical of the ‘conservatives’ in Red Hampshire. He will probably vote for Bush or Romney instead of Cruz in the upcoming primary...

[Jim Robinson]

Advise you disentangle yourself.

[Darksheare]

Yes, she doesn’t like being told the truth about Romney.
So she fled to greener pastures.
To appear later pushing Romney and stating the exact same BS stated in this thread.

Run, Mitt, Run! The GOPe has lost control of the RINO herd. Bush, Christie, and Romney --three candidates and counting.
This is great news.

I agree that it's good that there's apparently no longer a stranglehold by the kingmakers — but just like this speakership vote showed, they are ready and willing to band together against the people.

	Uncle Karl's Nursery-Rhyme Story-time
	The three little kittens, they lost their mittens, And they began to cry, "Oh, mother dear, we sadly fear, That we have lost our mittens." "What! Lost your mittens, you naughty kittens! Then you shall have no pie." "Meow, meow, meow." "Then you shall have no pie."
	The three little kittens, they found their mittens, And they began to cry, "Oh, mother dear, see here, see here, For we have found our mittens." "Put on your mittens, you silly kittens, And you shall have some pie." "Purr, purr, purr, Oh, let us have some pie."
	The three little kittens put on their mittens, And soon ate up the pie, "Oh, mother dear, we greatly fear, That we have soiled our mittens." "What, soiled your mittens, you naughty kittens!" Then they began to sigh, "Meow, meow, meow," Then they began to sigh.
	The three little kittens, they washed their mittens, And hung them out to dry, "Oh, mother dear, do you not hear, That we have washed our mittens?" "What, washed your mittens, then you're good kittens, But I smell a rat close by." "Meow, meow, meow, We smell a rat close by."

Amazingly, this is also pretty much the opposite of what I said. But if you insist of fighting with yourself, by all means, be my guest.

I'd be lying if I said it wasn't sort of fun to watch, it its own tragic way.

She spouted the same Romney b.s. and compared him favorably to R.R. in the last primary season and if I'm not mistaken, was banned for her efforts.

You're still trying to pick a fight, instead of hearing what I'm saying.

Oh, I'm hearing what you're saying, but I'm not the one who picked this fight. You did, when you threw out the "ideological purity" canard.

Don't insult my intelligence by assuming that I'm unaware that that phrase is code for, "quit whining about your precious, outmoded principles and get on board with the modern Republican party."

You want to look at this through the 'business as usual' lens of partisan politics. I'm telling you that the situation in this country has moved well beyond that. The civil systems laid down by the Framers are now nothing more than a sham that is FUBAR.

The power brokers and elites in Washington aren't going to allow the people a real voice in government if they can help it. Just observe what happened in the House Speaker vote and the Cromnibus just before that. The will of the people was effectively thwarted on both counts, and those are just two recent examples. There are countless others.

If the American people want a restored republic, they're going to have to go well outside the civil systems we're accustomed to. Those systems are darn near hopelessly compromised at this point.

The point I'm making is, using the well-worn thinking and calculus of American politics won't get us to the promised land because the elites don't play fair. We've got to realize that, and act accordingly.

In my view, it's high time we turned over the card table and kicked some card shark ass.

In the meantime, if we must play along with the elites and their subverted system, then we at least should vote for candidates who represent our values - and NONE others. That at least sends the ruling class the message that we're done playing ball their way.

Yes, that does strike the memory a bit.
And she will keep it up.

What is strange, is that the "Therapeutic Abortion Act", bill was signed during his first 4 months in office, in 1967, but you keep thinking that we didn't know that when supporting him the rest of his career, look at your own statement, how could you be voting for the man and supporting him and not know that?

I’ve seen this movie before and know how it ends.
