Mitt Romney loyalists are trying to gin up the narrative that Republicans just can't get enough of Romney.
“Democrats don’t want to be associated with Barack Obama right now, but Republicans are dying to be associated with Mitt Romney,” Spencer Zwick, "a longtime Romney confidant who chaired his national finance council," claimed to the Washington Post. The Chamber of Commerce, which has vowed to wage war on the Tea Party and push through amnesty legislation, glowingly praised Romney, alleging he would be in a "commanding position" if he entered the 2016 race.
Romney is reportedly set to make trips to West Virginia, North Carolina, Arkansas, Colorado, and Virginia to campaign for Republicans. Yet besides the media, most of the people clamoring for another Romney "comeback" are his loyalists and closest advisers, who defied all statistical models to lose an election many thought should never have been lost.
In a July article for Politico Magazine, Emil Henry, who "served in multiple roles in the 2012 campaign, including adviser to the economic team, television surrogate and fundraiser," laughingly alleged that "Romney is re-emerging as the de facto leader of the Republican Party."

Wow. Just wow.
I am truly and I mean TRULY amazed at the depths to which some of you (and don’t flatter yourselves, there’s only a handful of you) will go to attack anyone who DARES suggest they’ll support a republican candidate.
During the 2012 Presidential election, the choice was Obama over Romney here by the most vocal.
During the 2008 Presidential election, the choice was Obama over McCain here by the most vocal.
One would think that after seeing the damage done by the democrat Obama during the first term, that the same Obama would not have been preferred in 2012.
That was not the case.
In 2016, the republican party will have several candidates for President. I REALLY hope that the circular firing squad that’s already forming (see the posts calling Ted Cruz part of the GOP-E) will put down their arms and realize that it’s better to work for the candidate you would like to see with the nomination instead of telling everyone ELSE that his or her candidate isn’t pure enough for you.
I can dream.
Wait there, hero... I worked my arse off for Gregg Abbott, over the objections of a close friend that thought another should have the position.
You have a demented perception, flawed by your 'republican first' view.
Your 'purity' is in your mind only, because you see the utter filth that you try to pass off as conservative, when it's just an (R).
McCain is a liberal.
Was, and is.
Romney was, and is a liberal.
Both support abortion, amnesty, gun-control, socialized medicine, and bigger government.
Is that what the republican party is about?

They turned out to be retreads.
I just thought I'd pass that on.

Romney’s more of a democrat than he is a republican. And a big liar to boot. FReep You Mitt Romney (FUMR) and the corrupt GOPe RINOS you ride with!!
You should see the home page of that poster. It had some commentary about the 'leaders of this web site'.

It’s a shame that you didn’t show enough leadership on your own website to have as much outrage at Barack Obama as you did against Mitt Romney.
If your loyal followers had seen you express such outrage against Barack Obama, maybe they wouldn’t have thought it was an acceptable idea to vote for him for re-election.
This is NOT about Mitt Romney. He’s not running in 2016. This is about a conservative website full of people who automatically attack anyone who DARES to claim they would vote for a republican for President. You and your loyal followers can continue to claim that some ‘other’ candidate deserves your vote.....in 2008, 2012 and 2016, the presidential election was and will be decided between a democrat and a republican. Your loyal followers will see post after post after post after post, calling the eventual republican nominee vile names, claiming that they are “REALLY” a liberal...and it’s better for the democrat to win.
Do what you want with my screen moniker, but frankly sir, after all of the damage done by President Obama during his first term, it was crazy to lobby for his re-election. THAT is what happened here.
Your followers are loyal. They attack en masse.
I do not live in North Carolina, not a trucker, nor am I a trainer of any type. I’m also not a male, so therefore, my parents did not name me John.
What I do is speak truthfully and ask WHY a conservative website wanted (with success) the re-election of Obama. I also ask WHY that same conservative website attacks republicans, claiming it’s better for the democrats to win.
With the anger shown towards me (and others who dare question same), I really do wonder if some of you are as conservative as you claim.
I just thought I’d pass that on.
/not NCTrucker or Trainer John
America overwhelmingly rejected your liberal republican candidate. And will do so again, if you run one.
I'm sick and tired of liberals.
Especially liberals that run as republicans.
Run liberals, and lose. It's that simple.
You attack conservatives, just like the republican party attacks conservatives, because you feel you are somehow entitled to our votes.
You aren't. You have to earn them.
You earn them by being conservative.

Right. I have no outrage at Obama. Get lost.
You show far more outrage toward Mitt Romney and ANYONE
Who voted for him than you do toward Obama and his voters. Of course some of the Obama voters are also with you when it comes to attacking Mitt Romney and his voters..now isn’t that something.....
You voted for Mitt Romney? Do your followers here know that?
Why do you claim that I’m pushing Mitt Romney.....who you are calling a conservative hating loser? I have stated that I don’t believe Mitt Romney is running in 2016. Like you, however, I voted for him in the 2012 Presidential election. Unlike you, I have been viciously attacked by your followers for that vote. Perhaps you’ll be attacked as your followers have attacked me; afterall, you, too voted for Mitt Romney.
The circular firing squad here is totally disgusting. There isn’t even a candidate that most of the most frequent posters here are talking about. Money needs to be raised. THIS is where you could make a difference. You could tell all of your loyal followers here to make sure that “X” or “Y” receives enough donations and volunteer help to propel him or her to the nomination. No matter who’s mentioned, the claws come out among the few frequent posters, claiming that the person in question isn’t really a conservative, it’s better to vote for the democrat! Crazy stuff.
OR, you could attack the people who will vote for the eventual republican nominee, calling them names and using some kind of internet slang for the F word. Real classy.
You can decide what kind of leader to be.
Yes. Please try to keep up. Or, better yet, just go away. May I recommend RINOS_R_US.com?
Even if they are republican.
Your position is that we MUST vote for whatever the republicans manage to put forward, even the most craven liberal.
I reject that. And I reject your 'party first' attitude.
Principle matters. I volunteered for the uniform of my country based only on principle.
I'm willing to live for it, and I'm willing to die for it.

He's more of a leader than you will ever be.
Let's see you set up and run an internet site and do as well.
That window isn't closed.
You know you can't because your rabid and false charges would drive everyone off.
You can only come in (late) and agitate.
Like a dog in a manger.
Petulant because you don't get your way.
Liberal attribute, that...
/johnny
Staying classy dear leader, aren’t you? Odd that when you were asked if you were planning to and actually cast your vote for Romney, silence.....
Why don’t you throw a few more f bombs, using your internet slang?
It probably excites your fellow Romney hating followers here.
Maybe it's because you are dishonest, and there aren't any. And you just lied to paint all real conservatives as purists.
