Romney: ‘It kills me’ not to be in White House
yahoo ^ | march 3, 2013 | Dylan Stableford

Posted on 03/03/2013 10:10:39 AM PST by lowbridge

Mitt Romney says it "kills" him that he's not president. But he doesn't blame Superstorm Sandy, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie or anything else on his loss to President Barack Obama--except his campaign's failure to connect with minority voters.

“I lost my election because of my campaign," Romney said on "Fox News Sunday" in his first television interview since his November defeat, "not because of what anyone else did."

The former Massachusetts governor refused place blame on Christie, who some Republicans say elevated Obama in his embrace of the president in the wake of the storm.

Romney said his inability to win over black and Hispanic voters--and the damage done by those disastrous "47 percent" comments--ultimately derailed his White House bid.

Ann Romney, though, pointed the finger at the fourth estate. “It was not just the campaign’s fault," Ann Romney said. "I believe it was the media's fault as well, in that he was not being given a fair shake--that people weren’t allowed to really see him for who he was. ... I’m happy to blame the media.”

She added: “I totally believe at this moment, if Mitt were there in the office, that we would not be facing sequestration right now."

The thing is Lake, in order for the Alynski mockery rule to work effectively, you sorta gotta be good at it.

Not really; one merely has to be swayed by it.

You are showing the cool Donkey persona when faced with the shouting Shrek one.

Assisting (by not voting) in the “election” of a dictator is an act outside of the moral code of most freedom loving people.

Who said I didn't vote?

Now, just go away and take your non-vote with you.

Well; I can safely assume that you are NOT channeling THIS fellow!!


I do not agree with what you have to say,
but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

I seem to recall that NO one on FR wanted Romney; until we got him!

EVERYone was ABO; so it became apparent to the GOPe that we'd vote for whomever they gave us.

Ain't history FUN!!!

(It was aliens...)

Wait a couple of years.

CPAC 2013 is the largest annual gathering of conservative activists in the country and is celebrating its 40th anniversary in Washington, D.C., March 14-16, at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center.

Good grief you are ignorant, anyone who claims I had anything to do with Romney before he won the nomination is hopelessly so. Go ahead, find a post where I tried to get anyone to pick him. You'll be looking for years with no luck. So, apologize, or put up or shut up.

Hint: You'll find I supported Palin and hoped she would run, then switched to Newt, then wanted anyone but Romney.

Sometimes I don't understand how people here became so ridiculously stupid as to say the kind of thing you just said without any evidence.

Just wondering, after Romney won the nomination, after JR changed his mind, did you still decide to try to convince everyone that Romney was as bad as Bambi, that they were the same? Just be honest, did you?

No, over people like you that wear their hatred on their sleeves, so much so that they wanted an American hating destructive Marxist to win a second term to destroy America.

Congrats, you got him.

But don't ask me to thank a harpie who is so steeped in hatred she can't see straight, one who forgot that God isn't hate to understand what I'm saying........

My opinion of Romney never changed, and it is the same today as it was in 2008.

I'm not sure the country can withstand a couple of more years of Obama and a Democrat controlled US Senate.

To: Lakeshark; JR

I am not responsible for Romney’s loss and I am not responsible for JR’s feeling about Romney or change of feeling about Romey.
Romney is who he has always been and always will be and that is liberal - regardless of who or who does not support him.
I do not support liberals - it’s that simple - you want to be a supporter or excuses maker be my guest....I don’t play those games dude.
I support and vote conservatives - period.
I am constant and focused...sorry you are not.

he LOST!

No, Obama was allowed to win and now the country has to suffer for 4 more years. WE had all better hope WE can survive it as a country.

Which right wing, Christian conservative won enough primaries and support to become a presidential candidate?

Apparently none that you supported.
Romney is not right wing
Romney is not conservative
Romney does not practice Christianity
Apparently you supported him.....
I support conservatives - period!

obama won, and it didn’t have anything to do with people who supported conservatives or Christians, it had to do with people who do not.

You must be an old coot like me!

I've got a few years before I would be considered an old coot. I was raised in a small conservative Midwest town and brought up by parents who made us toe the line, respect authority and work. They were honest hardworking Christians who expected the same of their offspring.

Romney is not right wing

I didn't claim he was, did I? Why not address the question.

"Which right wing, Christian conservative won enough primaries and support to become a presidential candidate?"

You tell me.

Let us assume (which is always dangerous) which candidate did Romney NOT lie about and distort their record until they were no longer viable?

It does not matter, Romney won the primaries and apparently you supported him, I only support conservatives - period.

What is there to claim?
You apparently supported Romney regardless of his liberalism, I support only conservatives.

What's your problem? You are the self-righteous one. Please address the question. ""Which right wing, Christian conservative won enough primaries and support to become a presidential candidate?"
