Why isnt Mitt Romney president? Because he thinks like this.
Over at Breitbart was this headline:
MITT ROMNEY: DEMISE OF LEGACY MEDIA EMPOWERING CONSERVATIVE INSURGENTS, PREVENTING MORE COLLABORATIVE ACTION
The story reads, in part, like this:
Failed GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney lamented that the demise of traditional media is empowering Republican insurgents and preventing establishment Republicans from compromising more with Democrats.
As the Republican establishment is trying convince Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) to run for House Speaker, Romney told David Axelrod on a recent The Axe Files podcast that the extremes within our respective parties are having a louder and louder voice and demanding more attention and immediate action as opposed to more collaborative action.
Romney said this phenomenon flows in part from the change in the world of media.
There was a time when we all got the news with the same facts, if you will, he said. We had three networks we watched for the evening news. Most of us got newspapers. Everybody in the middle class got a newspaper, so we got the same facts whether we agreed or not with them.

So Romney thinks he was done it by the Vast Right Wing.

No, Mitt, you lost because in the 2nd debate you showed you did not have a backbone in the ‘get the transcript, Candy’ exchange, and you basically phoned in the 3rd debate.
Amen, me neither. Voting for Romney would have been as nuts as voting for Obama (see my tagline). I voted for a plurality -- I voted third party to do what I could to make sure that whichever leftist/statist won, Romney or Obama, would do so with as little support as possible.
A president elected by a majority of voters has strength and power in popular support. A president elected by a plurality (less than 50%) is weak because the majority of voters have said loud and clear, "you stink."
In spite of the myth the MSM spins to this day that Bill Clinton was "popular," clearly the MSM tells a falsehood because both times Clinton was elected, a clear majority rejected him in the voting booth. Perot did conservatives a favor -- Clinton was so vulnerable that he was slammed by the Republican Revolution and then impeached.
If Clinton had ever had a majority of voters behind him, that would probably never have happened.
Which is why in 2012, I voted for a plurality. I will only vote for that which I am willing to be held accountable. Had that leftist weasel amoral nightmare Romney won, every single person here who voted for him would be to blame for the Republican party turning hard left because they voted for that to happen no matter how much they intended to vote "against" Obama.
Be glad they lost. I am.
You aren’t alone on Romney.
There would have been a HUGE difference if Mittens had been inaugurated -- self-described "conservatives" and Republicans would have been responsible for all of the tyranny brought on by an amoral leftist statist.
The difference is that ONLY DEMOCRATS who voted for Obama are to blame for Obama doing the same. Every single person who voted for Romney should thank their lucky stars the bastard lost.
“Well just be over here wondering why so many people deluded themselves into voting for Barrys white twin.”
Yep. Barack O’Honky.
Yes there would - they would be advancing all of this statism in our names.
Be very grateful that bastard Romney lost -- if he'd won, YOU would be responsible for a hell of a lot of leftism. We conservatives who refused to be bamboozled into voting for that which would harm liberty and morality, let you off the hook, pal. BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT YOU VOTED FOR -- there is no such thing as voting "against."
Amen.
A cautionary tale of the herd mentality.
I remember Obama saying this, so I guess it shouldn’t surprise me that Romney agrees.
“A cautionary tale of the herd mentality.”
Indeed.
Mitt confirms it, it’s out of touch with reality.
HAHAHA!!!
What a moron!!
What a dumbass!!
Romney....what a dumb jackass....
Typical GOPe member.....
YOU epitomize the "idiot child" in that you continue to deny the fact that when you voted for Romney, you voted FOR amoral statist tyranny. You're damned lucky Obama won instead of Romney because you are off the hook.
Well done edits!
Romney is not a conservative, nor was he ever.
and then unregistered one puts me in prison. You can’t win here in New York City. If things get very serious believe me I will move south to help. Until then work and family and fiance are here
Romney, like his mommy and daddy before him and, undoubtedly his own sons after him, and no less than Obozo, is a rampaging supporter of: baby-killing, sexual perversion posing as "marriage," gun grabbing, appointment of anti-constitutional power-grabbing judges, unlimited admittance of undocumented Demonrats across our borders, caving to the Islamolooneytunes and to other enemies of the USA like Putin across the world, not "wasting" money on national defense when that money could be padding little Muffy's trust fund via corrupt "profits" of "green" corporations. Mittens is perfectly willing to line the pockets of his corporate cronies by borrowing infinite amounts of Red Chinese $$$$$ for our descendants to repay with interest after it is laundered to his cronies via an obscenely bloated government. If there is bandwidth enough, I can do this for weeks on end but why waste time flogging the dead Romney horse?
We all know who and what he is and you are just refusing to admit it and own it. Mittens is not fit to orally service his polo pony.
I did hear that speech. It was one of the best I’ve heard. Napolitano gave it from his heart, knowing it would be confrontational with Fox .. but needed to be said. He lost his program, but he’s still on Fox as a guest.
I hope others get to the point where they will speak out. The ruling class has ruled long enough. They are slow to learn anything.. Trump’s and Carson’s numbers still don’t show them a thing.
