Bob Dole says he thinks former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney should run for the office again in 2016.

The 91-year-old former Senate majority leader made the comment Monday during a campaign rally for Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts, who’s in a tight race for re-election against independent candidate Greg Orman. Romney spoke at the event in the Kansas City surburb of Overland Park. …

BUMP to the top -- especially this key line:

And when RINO X ‘does’ win, what do they do? Govern like the libs they are.

I rejoice with every voter who finally figures out, as I did a few years ago, that there is NO SUCH THING as voting "against." Voting "against" is purely imaginary. Voting "against" is confusing intent with action.

When you limited government Christian conservatives voted for Romney against your better judgment in 2012, you were voting FOR all the things you abhor in order to vote "against" Obama -- your INTENT, to vote "against," was entirely separate, abstract, and emotionally based; your ACTION was concrete and entirely removed from emotion -- your ACTION was solely to vote FOR an amoral big government statist leftist. You didn't vote "against" a thing because voting "against" is FICTION. Voting "against" is confusing intent with action.

I pray enough people wake up to reality before 16. We have two years to get our act together seperate from their controlling influence. The GOP WILL run Romney or his clone.

People can accept it ot not. They will not have an epiphany. They will not listen. they will do what they do. Act as the pressure relief valve for democrats to give the illusion of choice/opposition. But at the end of the day, my post above is documented fact. It is their recorded history and their actions.

an obscure blog quotes another obscure blog - and a tiny mention in a Jurassic media outlet - that’s the best you got?

Not like the 7 articles, at least, read fully on air, word for word - to 25 million people.

This is one sample. BTW, this bit inspired the famous “throw grandma under the bus” race speech four days later.

I guess you're too stupid to realize that Romney did not win, nothing going on today is Romney's fault - no one who voted for Romney has (in the general) has any fault at all - but those who didn't - do. Your comments are absurd, unless Romney had won. Which he didn't.

No, but dude, that’s a pathetic 15 micro seconds of fame - a mention in a print article. That’s so 1965.

No, that’s 1998 actually. To start. Which would take a while with all the ALF death threats/wanted posters, SCLDF lawsuit threats and oh so much more. And BTW, I thought you were not going to waste your time?

Personally I don’t care what you write/wrote or who praised you for it. Your posts here show what you are about. All anyone need do is brows your post history. Nothing but gradeschool taunts for those you mistakenly disagree with.

Oh, I only taunt when people beg for it by making stupid and often blatantly lying accusations to justify their own absurd positions. And yes, I do taunt there. It’s because I do not suffer fools gladly, and you be one.

Well, I'm heartened by all the stories popping up about vote fraud, where machines are voting Democrat in this state or that, or where Republicans aren't allowed to fight or investigate vote fraud in the polling places. The majority -- that would be us, folks who are sick of all this government and want our freedom back -- the majority of Americans are restless and simmering. The left has to cheat for a reason. Maybe folks will start figuring it out.

The left side of the GOP has to cheat, too -- Romney? Cochran? American Republicans want what those guys offer? Yeah, riiiiiiiiggght.

And the leftist GOP nominee is in the bag for 2016, I agree. People need to re-think their knee-jerk rejection of going third party. Things do have their times and seasons ...

Amen Norm!! Especially poignant reading again especially after a serious philosophical discussion with a "journalist," trained, self-proclaimed, and working, writing news stories, etc. Representing "our" eyes and ears on the world.

That was real journalism. That was a real story, it told people something they didn't already know, and it shone light on a wrong. Yet this guy I was talking to thought "real" journalism was publishing salacious crap, like a photo of a suicide jumper with all the maudlin stories to go with it, or the arrest of some celebrity pervert. Like I give a flying rat's patoot!

*sigh*

Keep the faith!!

Well whatever gets you through the day I guess. But since you have to use my old taunts, refuse to engage in serious debate on relevant issues and the rest, I’d say the only suffering fools here are us that have to hear your sanctimonious bleating. To clarify, suffering because someone lets you post unsupervised and fools because anyone has to be a little crazy to read your nonsense to begin with.

C. Edmund Wright:

What absolutely absurd BS! Other than a few of your posts here, I don't know who you are. I don't care who you are. It does not matter in the slightest who you are. Either your ideas can stand on their own or they cannot and they certainly cannot.

Romney certainly did not win. If the sorry POS runs again, he may again BUY the nomination but he will not win the election. He will do worse because his act is worn out and the better voters get to know Myth Romney the less likely they are to EVER vote for him.

Additionally, actual conservatives are in an increasing rebellion against the GOP-E. If the GOP-E continues to BUY nominations which will be worth less and less, we will get to the point where the GOP is again a third party just before it disappears. When it disappears, remember such stellar GOP leaders as Gerald Feckless Ford, George H. W. Bush (New World Order Man), Robert Dole, George W. Bush who seems to have mislaid his veto pen, John Whackobird McCain, and Myth Weathervane Romney who can point in any direction but governs only to the leftmost.

When I voted for POTUS last year, I voted AGAINST Obozo and also AGAINST Myth Romney. I voted for Eternal Vigilance and I will vote for him again unless the GOP nominates a candidate worth voting for. If the Demonrats nominate the Arkansas Medusa, that's their business. If the "Republicans" and Wall Street and K Street nominate $$$$$ grubbing trash like Romney, that is their business.

Whom I vote for is MY business and I will vote for someone other than the Demonrat or the $$$$$can. Your vote is your business. I don't OWE my vote to any old leftist POS that the Demonrats or GOP-E care to nominate. Not to beat Hillary or Obozo or any other Demonrat. Unless and until the GOP again nominates candidates worth voting for, they will do it without my vote and without the votes of a rising vanguard on the actual Right.

Job #1 is the elimination of the privileged ruling class Republican windtunnels. They can go back to their clubs and their polo matches and their tiddlywinks tournaments and their watercress sandwiches. They won't be missed other than by the Demonrats who depend on using them as punching bags.

When the GOP-E is eliminated, we can have it out with the Demonrats. Conservatives will protect Muffie's trust fund in proportion to GOP-E contributions to hard line campaigns. No contributions, oh well..... Too bad for Muffie's trust fund. With or without the ruling class GOP-E, we will build a truly populist GOP or third party as makes sense under the circumstances prevailing. The US Chamber of Crony Socialism will NOT be pleased.

Romney most certainly IS responsible for any and all excesses of Obozo's administration since Obozo's re-election was secured at the moment that Myth Romney was nominated. That is a fact you should bear in mind as we approach 2016. Paul Ryan was willing to play second banana to Myth Romney which means Ryan is out. Ditto New Jersey Fats. Undoubtedly numerous other candidates will prove unacceptable by the time of the convention. If so and if nominated, oh well....

What are the non-negotiable issues? The babies; guns, normal marriage; no butt-smooching the "gays;" strong foreign policy as military as necessary or desirable; rebuilding the military including the officer corps; hard-core conservatives only for judicial nominations and various bureaucratic posts capable of crippling unconstitutional agencies; permanent reform of the Justice Department and IRS; elimination of at least one federal cabinet level bureaucracy: choose from Education, Energy, Housing and Urban Development, Labor and Commerce (both); balance the federal budget; stop borrowing from Red China.

Anyone who voted for Obozo has direct responsibility for his depredations. Anyone who voted for Romney even if just to oppose Obozo is guilty of encouraging Romney or others like him to seek the nomination against Hillary and, if successful in obtaining the nomination for another leftist, will be responsible for the presidency of Hillary Rodham Clinton or of Fauxcahontas or for whichever Marxist and social issue revolutionary the Demonrats choose to nominate.

If you and other Romney voters in the 2012 general election would prefer a candidate who is a moral person, an American patriot and consistent with most (ignored) GOP platforms, we will be there during caucuses and primaries to share that goal. Lose again at the nomination stage and we bid you Sayonara in the general election, taking even more conservatives out with us. Bear in mind that the GOP Senate caucus is also a RINO rich target environment. And Cantor was not the last vulnerable traitor to GOP ideals in the House leadership or in the House caucus either.

I could say that you are too stupid to realize that a Romney CANNOT win no matter what in the general election. I would not believe that you are too stupid because you are not. I do believe that you prefer ideological suicide immediate or on the installment plan to ever missing the opportunity to vote even for some second-rate whore like Myth Romney running as a Republican and sharing no beliefs with the base. If you realize that and continue in the same rut, I feel sorry for you. If you don't realize that, maybe you will someday in the bye and bye.

Your attack on Finny was entirely unwarranted and, if you don't recognize that, then the argument of any actual conservative will fall on your deaf ears. I have responded to you on the assumption that you are something more than a party hack. Maybe I was wrong? Maybe I was right? Time will tell.
