Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, a potential 2012 Republican presidential candidate, told Reuters that it was vital for Republican candidates in 2010 to "not just talk about our principles but hold true to them."

"We're a party that doesn't believe in spending money we don't have. And Republicans that can show that they have been fiscally conservative will stand in stark contrast to the extraordinary deficits and forecasts of even greater deficits that are coming from the Democrats," said Romney, who ran for president last year and lost the party's nomination to John McCain.

Excuse me, Brutus Romney? Fiscally conservative? You mean like your little Romneycare shenanigans in Massachusetts...or your backing of the infamous TARP...eh?

"I know we didn’t all agree on TARP. I believe that it was necessary to prevent a cascade of bank collapses. For free markets to work, there has to be a currency and a functioning financial system."
—Myth Romney, 02/2009 (source)

Hey, (%@%@, markets are "free" when the Government isn't tinkering with them, choosing winners and losers! Too bad you're too fascist and elitist to realize that!

No, you're just trying to co-opt the Tea Parties and anti-Big Government rage.

Typical gutless, slimy politician.

#$(%$@ ROMNEY AND HIS BRAIN-DEAD, FASCISM-LOVING, DELUDED ROMNEYBOT SYCOPHANTS!

Romney is a disgusting POS.

Bookmark for the laughs.... LOL!!!

The flurry of attempts to reinflate the ruptured balloon that is Romney are simultaneously funny, disgusting, and frightening.

Thank God for youtube. He can run but he can’t hide.

Ronald Reagan has a message for both Romney and McCain.....

Yup. Thats it! The highly diverse, multi-cultural United States is going to elect a milk toast white guy president! Whoooooo!

Lord, please make that assclown go away.

Ronald Reagan also had an 11th commandment:

Now certainly we should all voice our opinions as to who we want in the primaries. We should also not be afraid to discuss why McCain lost. But I think gratuitous attacks on people would probably run afoul with that commandment. So invoking Reagan might not be your best option here.

Romney, Go Away, Go Away, Go Away.

looks like republicans still dont get it...

[dalebert]

I’ve posted this before, if any of the retreads from ‘08 run in ‘12 the republican party is so screwed and Obama will win reelection by a landslide (no matter how bad things are).

[Jack Hammer]

Everyone seems awfully fussy, IMO; at this point, I’d vote for a ticket matching Alfred E. Neuman and Bozo the Clown if it meant getting Obummer out of the White House....

What a joke Romney is.

How stupid does he think people are? And I'm not talking Democrat people!

Can you say ROMNEYCARE Romney?

And since when have politicians Spent their own money, whether they had it or not? You ALWAYS spend the money WE the people don't have.

[piytar]

One word for you, Romney, and it is the word that spells the end of any national aspirations: MittCare (aka RomneyCare in some circles). Sorry, you can't have your socialized medicine and your conservative credentials, too!
