Romney re-enters GOP fray
nbcnews.com ^ | 8/7/13 | Michael )'Brien

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.

The former Massachusetts governor most pointedly sought to tamp down a charge led by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Tea Party conservatives, who have vowed not to fund the government — risking a government shutdown — unless Obama's health care law is defunded.

Sorry Mitt. Your 15 minutes are up. We’ve already got an official RINOPITA. Juan McCain.

Why do the only ones who come back from the dead, come back to oppose conservatism? Is it because they’re the only ones the powers in the GOP will allow to speak, or do the truly conservative ones realise that it’s pointless to bother these days?

HUH?? Romney: a pea-shooter vs. a tank.

Speaking of tanks, I'd MUCH rather dig up the casket of General Patton and have IT "enter the fray." Even that casket would kick some @$$.

Wowsers!! Talk about delusions of grandeur!!

Mitt, you lost because you were boring and a RINO moderate. Cruz, on the other hand, is gaining support because he is conservative and excites the base - something you were never able to do!

Now, slip back to obscurity.

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

Yep. And I had high hopes he had learned as much whereas McCain clearly has not.

Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and Rand Paul are the future of the GOP. If, indeed, it has a future.

The fix was definitely in.

No kidding.

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

No surprise: Romney and Obama are the same person. [political clones]

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

You and me both. — Well, I voted for Gary Johnson, but still caught a lot of heck here on FR because I wouldn't hold my nose and pull for Romney.

It’s looking now as if we may have had an even worse president if Obama hadn’t won in ‘08 and ‘12.

Unfortunately the promise of (Free Stuff) is what won the election. Mitt couldn’t and wouldn’t make such a promise. The promise of free stuff is what got us here. Another promise of free stuff will sink all of us. And you can take that one to the bank.

That’s one name I literally can’t stand hearing any more. Maybe it’s because I live in MA and had to hear it more than others. But after the 2008 campaign and then hearing Romney Frontfunner for four years then the 2012 campaign, then the moderation, then the loss. I just don’t want to hear it anymore.

McCain is still an elected official and thus we have to keep dealing with him but Mitt, just go away. You’ve done us enough damage!
