The Wall Street Journal ^ | 1/09/2015 | Patrick O’Connor And

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-

To quote the late Jackie Gleason from Smokey and the Bandit... You can think about it, but don’t do it.

There are 5 of us here now. Including the big cat. Don’t think more are needed really.

One yet lives.

You can lay off the smarmy personal insults.

The actual question as you keep attacking Reagan with for example, "But I'd have a hard time getting past his pro-abortion vote, and I know I'm alone in that sentiment."

Was;
"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?"

Even if Christie, Bush and Romney all run - the GOPe still has losers Santorum and Huckabee ready to siphon off some early primary votes from a more viable conservative candidate.

I agree with everything you're saying here, but it's really starting to sound like you want to have an argument about Mitt Romney with someone, and you want me to be that guy.

I think the two people that you're looking for have left this thread. I can't imagine that there were very many people on this website who were more vocally opposed to Romney than I was in 2012.

Here's my only point. I agree the logic that leads people to stay home and not vote when we inevitably nominate someone like Romney. Personally, I wouldn't go that far, but I can empathize.

My observations are concerned with the primaries. Before I worry about who the absolute best, most conservative candidate is in the field, my first priority is to ensure we don't get stuck with a choice between Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush or Mitt Romeny.

you're not following this website's guidelines, and reading the thread before posting.

Baloney. I know for a fact that's it's illegal, per FR rules, to read the thread OR the article before posting!

And here they are doing it again.
They got banned for the Romneybot BS before. And they are doing it again.
If the definition of insanity is...
This is the definition of stupidity.

Not when it’s your job. By her own admission she was GOP employed. Seems to me that she still is.

Run Romney, see how much of your cash got sucked up by Jeb and split the GOPe vote so we have a slightly better chance of a conservative jumping into the ring.

But I've got a sick feeling that we'll have Trump in the party..

Two things Ansell:

First, I have never attacked Ronald Reagan. In fact, I just got finished saying that he was the second greatest president in this nation's history.

Second, you are not making much sense in the rest of your post. What we did in 1980 is irrelevant. I'm very worried about you if you don't understand this.

This is what I was talking about when I warned you yesterday about wasting your life and hurting yourself.

Repeating the same crap over and over again hoping for a different outcome.

All more GOP means is more options for moral cowards to run to before a conservative because of ‘party unity’.

And pushing multiloser Romney repeatedly even after a banning for same is the definition of stupid.

Needs to be in the FR dictionary.

I really wanted MR to win the general in 2012. Obama is a domestic enemy, so anyone would be better.

I was never convinced that Romney would have been any better than Obama. Just one look at his record in office confirms that he's just as much a liberal.

Some say, 'at least he's not a radical Marxist', but given the damage he did in Massachusetts, I'm again, unconvinced. The guy is a poser and a complete liar. He could be anything - except a conservative Republican.

One thing is sure. If he'd been elected, a Republican dominated Congress would have rubber stamped every bit of his liberal agenda without question. At least under Obama, they've tried to fight back. This, despite their abysmal 'leadership'.

Again, why shouldn’t she. She does it, continues doing it and is still here.
