Romney re-enters GOP fray

The presidential election ended almost nine months ago, but Mitt Romney re-emerged Tuesday to continue his fight against President Barack Obama’s policies and assert himself as a Republican Party elder at a time when the party is struggling to find its path forward.

Romney sought to re-establish himself as a force within the GOP with a speech in the politically crucial state of New Hampshire, weighing in on the fractious battles to play out within the Republican Party since last November.

If he was ever an elder, he has since been defrocked.

Go anywhere, but just go away Romney.

And please shut up. Screwing up one election cycle was more than enough.

So Romney is coming out against conservatives....and Ryan is pushing amnesty.

Big surprise. I'm glad I wrote in George Washington, I don't feel like a 2 dollar whore today.

The fix was definitely in.

"Staying smart also means backing candidates that can win." - Romney

Translation: conservatives can go to Hades. Run squishy 'moderates' like me and lose like the left wants you to.

Go away, Mitt.

Nobody cares except for the state-run media, and they only want to mock you again.

Willard: Barbara Bush called, wants to know if you're available as the fourth for her bridge team.

PLEASE call her back.

Mitt is a Massachusetts liberal.

He needs to start wearing a D.

Whatever he is, elder might be a term used in his church, but to me the word is FAILURE. He let Candy COWly have her way with him and deserved exactly what he got—Nothing!

"The presidential election ended almost nine months ago"

The Presidential election ended at the Republican National Convention.

” Go anywhere, but just go away Romney.”

Rom should move to Cape Cod. More liberals there, than in LaJolla : )

Didn’t the elder Bush have a home up there on the coast?

They can chum it up, get out of our hair, keep each other busy...
