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."

Allowing a leftist Muslim to destroy the country is having no guiding principles.

Then what are you going to do about it now?

There were thirteen people on my ballot running for president

Did they have names? Which of them had a realistic chance of beating Obama?

Your question assumes there was one.

No, the question was, "“When are you going to present the right wing conservative Christian you believe could have won the 2012 election”? Or are you admitting there wasn't one?

Do you have one you know would have won???

I don't dwell on Fantasy Island. Realistically, the only candidate that had a chance of defeating Obozo was the GOP nominee, Romney. Those who refused to vote for him in essence were supporting 4 more years of the Marxist Muslim. Unfortunately the rest of us have to suffer for their hate and spite.

Do you have a favorite in ‘16???

I would vote for Ryan, Romney, Cruz, Palin, Bachmann, Paul, Walker, McDonnell or just about any other candidate if indeed there is an election in 2016. I'm not counting on it.

If you're looking for sympathy, you're looking in the wrong place. Did you bleed profusely when you cutoff your nose?

Ridicule and shame those who allowed Marxist Muslim Obozo to continue his dismantling of this once great country.

Sure they had names, and no not one of them was able to win the election.
Hey, since I am sure you already looked at my profile, it was something that should have been clear.

If that makes you feel any better.

I guess I can put you down as NOT being a part of the solution.

Are you ashamed to name them, or are they so obscure they couldn't be recognized by enough voters to individually draw 1 %?

I am sure you already looked at my profile

If I did, I was unimpressed.

You'll have to take responsibility for that. Did you bleed profusely when you cutoff your nose?

Really?
It has been four months since the election, do you really think I kept the ballot?
If you want to know do a search and look for them yourself.

No, it just means if you are wrong about something so easily found out, you are wrong about the other as well.

I'm not wrong at all, you were the one suckered in to your position by the left (you just won't admit or own to it), there's not a shred of reality that Romney was anywhere near the policies of Bambi. Romney was no where near the American hating, pro-Marxist, pro-muzzie, wealth destroying, union loving, divisive, gun grabbing, against everything we say we love and care for monster in the white hut right now.

Believing a RINO squish is the same as that nonsense is a sign of clinical insanity. Watching the US go into the Chavez toilet because of the short sighted foolishness of those like you who actually believed that is disturbing.

Sorry, it is. It just is.
