Jason Chaffetz: Mitt Romney will run —and win

At least one House Republican thinks Mitt Romney will make another run for the White House in 2016 — and this time, he says the 2012 runner-up will emerge victorious.

“I think he actually is gonna run for president. He probably doesn’t want me to say that,” Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) told host Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s “Hardball” on Monday. Chaffetz also backed the former Massachusetts governor early in the GOP nomination process for 2012.

“A hundred times he says he’s not, but Mitt Romney has always accomplished what he’s set out to do. I think he’s proven right on a lot of stuff. I happen to be in the camp that thinks he’s actually going to run and I think he will be the next president of the United States,” he said.

Romney has been the focus of much recent speculation regarding a possible run, but he has repeatedly brushed it aside. Yet, the former governor has weighed in on the political world this year, from endorsing Senate candidate Scott Brown to admonishing the White House for its handling of the rapidly deteriorating situation in Iraq and the surrounding region.

No, I am certain God will cast you into Hell for bringing Obama to power. I will pray for your soul. It won’t help though God will also punish you for using his name in vain. Enjoy your time on Earth.

No he won't.

First of all, I obeyed him by not supporting either candidate that chose to disobey Him.

That kept my hands clean of sinning in that situation.

Secondly, you have a strange idea of what using God's name in vain is. It certainly is not biblical in its roots.

Thirdly, you can blame the GOP and Romney and maybe yourself for voting for Romney, for bringing Obama into power.

I had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Let me repeat, those who engage in sin, those who support sin, and those who support those whom they know are engaged in sin, are sinning themselves.

Be careful you don't fall into that category.

My dear friend and sinner, God does not give one damn what you write on FR to defend your own actions. Enjoy your time on Earth, and then in Hell.

Now write “no” one hundred times it means nothing to God and you insult Him by thinking otherwise.

Do you really think God’s judgments are determined by your ranting on the internet? Such blasphemous hubris.

[Sirius Lee]

LOL! First little billy says he can read the mind of God:

"God does not give one damn what you write on FR to defend your own actions. Enjoy your time on Earth, and then in Hell."

Then in the same vomits up this:

"Do you really think God’s judgments are determined by your ranting on the internet? Such blasphemous hubris."

It's the same cognitive dissonance that leads these poor, misguided fools to spend all their days trying to prop of a piece of crap liberal like romney, instead of getting out there and working for a Cruz Presidency.

Exactly.

Instead of honestly admitting what an utter and complete lousy candidate Romney was from a Republican and conservative worldview, they'd rather spend their time blaming you and I for the inevitable and predictable outcome of a Progressive Liberal (Romney, A.K.A. Democrat-Lite) running against a Marxist. Furthermore, it doesn't matter how much factual evidence you have or present, it wouldn't matter if God himself were to tap them on the shoulder and tell them they were wrong, they'll still be supporting someone (Romney) they know in their hearts they shouldn't be.

[Williams]

Maybe I’m tired of listening to kooks go on about how they chose God by electing Obama.

I know in my heart, and in my head, that you are idiots and that America is doomed with such fools claiming to be conservatives.

And you are offensive fools because you constantly raise God Himself as the reason for your stupid decisions.

I think the devil has a richly deserved place in hell for you.

Just my opinion unlike you God does not discuss American politics with me.

[SoConPubbie]

Just my opinion unlike you God does not discuss American politics with me.

Unlike you, I cannot compartmentalize my life allowing me to apply my Christianity to those parts that are not political and allowing me to use a whole other set of rules for my political life.

Your life with Christ, your Christianity, was meant to be applied with the same vigor to all aspects of your life. It was not meant to be used whenever you think it is applicable or convenient.

Furthermore, your walk with Christ demands 100% submission to God's rules, you cannot, you must not, decide on your own, that you can accept actions that God calls sinful, either in yourself or in others.

If you do, it becomes your sin.

[Williams]

My dear fellow Christian. You allowed Obama to kill babies and promote communism and Islam and the murder of Christians in ways that would not have been possible in a Republican administration. You are a fool. And you did not do God’s work.

[SoConPubbie]

You allowed Obama to kill babies

And Romney would have done the same thing, only what is worse, he would have done it under the flag of the GOP totally alienating Christian conservatives and destroying the base of the GOP, exactly as he did in Massachusetts.

Romney, after declaring he was Pro-Life at CPAC in January 2012, came out on August 27th, 2012 AFTER he had won the nomination and flat out lied about his position on Abortion during the campaign:

Romney: My views on abortion rights are clear

"My position has been clear throughout this campaign," Romney said. "I'm in favor of abortion being legal in the case of rape and incest, and the health and life of the mother."

Like I posted to you earlier:

Unlike you, I cannot compartmentalize my life allowing me to apply my Christianity to those parts that are not political and allowing me to use a whole other set of rules for my political life.

Your life with Christ, your Christianity, was meant to be applied with the same vigor to all aspects of your life. It was not meant to be used whenever you think it is applicable or convenient.

I will not allow political expediency to crowd me into committing a sin.

As a self-professing Christian, you should be joining me in this.

You can call me names, you can damn me to hell, but I will still fear the One(Jesus) who can take my soul over the one who can take my life.

Finally, I agree with Alexander Hamilton when he stated:

"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

[Williams]

A republican administration would not do or even be able to do the things you say. You are as useless and as destructive as Obama. I see you saying nothing about Obama, a communist, atheist, Islamist, pro partial birth and even after birth abortionist, Muslim Brotherhood loving, radical Godless leftist.

The Supreme Court appointments of Obama alone have guaranteed the killing of babies will go on for generations. What a misguided person you are.

And you have the nerve to constantly invoke the name of God at people.

Whatever I’m done with you as you are done with America.

[Olog-hai]

Looks like Chaffetz was wrong again.
