Milt Romney Announces 2012 Presidential Exploratory
Committee (puts off decision again)
Former failed Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA) is one step closer to officially announcing
what nearly everyone already expects -- that he'll seek the Republican nomination
for president of the United States in 2012. On his website Monday,
Romney (weakly as he is) kicked off the exploratory committee phase of his campaign
in the style of the day with a YouTube clip and a tweet (copying Gov. Palin).
"I will promise whatever you want."
LOL. You’d think with all that money Trump could buy some hair like Mitt’s..........
Myth Romney is not a 'former failure'. He's an actual, living breathing, ongoing failure as well.
Dear Exploratory Committee, He’s too old.
Never thought it shut down!
The 2012 election could prove to be a gimme for the GOP(i.e., any GOP candidate wins), assuming Obuma’s popularity stays in the toilet and he is the commie/anti-capitalist nominee; therefore, it is a must that Conservatives pick a strong Conservative for the GOP, and Romney is not, I repeat, is not the correct candidate.
Which party’s nomination will he be running for?
The Donald just takes the bull by the horns. Will give Trump that. Trump intimidates the Left wing media. Letterman can say Trump is going for ratings on the Apprentice or is not playing serious.But Letterman is still "an employee", Trump is "a boss".
Trump has no problem taking over the stage, does not hesitate to answer any and all questions thrown at him by the media. New Hampshire: Romney 27, Trump 21, Gingrich 12, Huckabee 12
Trump Just takes some time getting to know in a presidential setting.
We’re in deep doo-doo if Romney becomes the Republican candidate. I hope there will be an effective third-party candidate out there (yes, I know third-party candidates cause all kinds of havoc, but I don’t want to have to choose between two liberals).
LOL

Milton Addas Romney (June 20, 1899 – November 1975) was a professional American football player who played in the offensive backfield for six seasons for the Racine Legion and the Chicago Bears. He was also the head basketball coach of the Texas Longhorns men’s basketball team in 1923 with an overall record of 11-7. He was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was the first cousin once removed and the namesake of former Massachusetts governor and GOP Presidential candidate Mitt Romney.[1]
"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."
[Cato Institute annual Fiscal Policy Report Card - America's Governors, 2004.]
"Governor Mitt Romney, who touts his conservative credentials to out-of-state Republicans,
has passed over GOP lawyers for three-quarters of the 36 judicial vacancies he has faced,
instead tapping registered Democrats or independents -- including two gay lawyers who
have supported expanded same-sex rights, a Globe review of the nominations has found.
Of the 36 people Romney named to be judges or clerk magistrates, 23 are either registered Democrats
or unenrolled voters who have made multiple contributions to Democratic politicians
or who voted in Democratic primaries, state and local records show.
In all, he has nominated nine registered Republicans, 13 unenrolled voters,
and 14 registered Democrats."

Romney Rewards one of the State's Leading Anti-Marriage Attorneys by Making him a Judge
Romney told the U.S. Senate on June 22, 2004, that the "real threat to the States is not the
constitutional amendment process, in which the states participate,
but activist judges who disregard the law and redefine marriage . . ."
Romney sounds tough but yet he had no qualms advancing the legal career of one
of the leading anti-marriage attorneys. He nominated Stephen Abany to a District Court.
Abany has been a key player in the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association which,
in its own words, is "dedicated to ensuring that the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decision
on marriage equality is upheld, and that any anti-gay amendment or legislation is defeated."

"Romney announces he won't fill judicial vacancies before term ends
Despite his rhetoric about judicial activism, Romney announced that
he won't fill all the remaining vacancies during his term - but instead
leave them for his liberal Democrat successor!
Governor Mitt Romney pledged yesterday not to make a flurry of lame-duck
judicial appointments in the final days of his administration . . . David Yas,
editor of Lawyers Weekly, said Romney is "bucking tradition" by resisting the urge to
fill all remaining judgeships. "It is a tradition for governors to use that power to appoint judges
aggressively in the waning moments of their administration," Yas said.
He added that Romney has been criticized for failing to make judicial appointments.
"The legal community has consistently criticized him for not filling open seats quickly enough
and being a little too painstaking in the process and being dismissive of the input of the
Judicial Nominating Commission," Yas said.

mitt will never hold elected office again... he is a liar, cheat and thief... he has no chance... and when he pays outfits like Mason Dixon to do push polling... he damages himself even further.
LLS
Nope, sorry there Myth, but thanks for playing.
Hugh Hewitt, Michael Medved, and all the other pathetic RINO's will, though.
No way! No thanks!
Romney is a snake oil salesman lying POS scumbag. Why does he even bother? RomneyCare should hang it up.
