Rommey "is the only person that can fill the stage," said MSNBC host and former Republican congressman Joe Scarborough at a private dinner on the summit's opening night, according to The Washington Post.

"He would be a giant in a field of midgets," added Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer, a Democrat who's weighing a 2016 bid himself.

A giant who lost to a midget! What does that make him?

Nope. former. Left long ago. I’m more of a ‘Church of me and God without the middleman” kinda guy ;)

That's excellent!

Those middlemen always turn out to have a nefarious agenda.

I correctly stated early on in the primaries in 2012 that Mitt Romney was the least likely GOP candidate to win in the General Election; I can safely say, that the same thing and know that this time, it is even more true.

It would be a crying shame to waste what 2016 is shaping up to be on the likes of Mittens.

Romney's problem is, conservatism is not his native language. It's a dialect he needs to adopt to win nominations and elections (except when he doesn't). But it is not what he understands and believes!

Romney is a technocrat who accepts the existing order and tries to improve upon it incrementally. That's not exciting (which is why he loses elections). More important, it's not what the country needs!

IMHO we are going to need to run a candidate with military/foreign policy experience as well as executive/budget experience. We need a conservative with both creds to beat the Rats and pull our country out of its downward spiral.
I’m not sure who that person is. Ideas?

“LOL. Just pulling your chain. I know you hate Romney. Boy you’d have an apoplectic fit if Romney won on his third try, heheheheheheheh.”

You, dear Lady and your Romney, would enjoy
if Romney ENSURED the destruction of America
and Freedom as he has done for 12 years by manipulating
yet another US Election.
Shame on you. Shame on him.

I was presented a choice in 2012 that was not my doing: Romney or Obama and I chose Romney. It was so-called Republicans that gave us Obama part 2 and that is a part of the GOP/Republocan party that I can’t support.

Mr. Romney has serially backstabbed Sen. Thompson,
Gov. Palin (and her family), the Speaker,
and MANY OTHERS in critical elections in the USA,
leading to Obama-the-Tyrant (who not incidentally
Mr. Romney defended during each Election).

Mr. Romney has also removed Freedoms of everyone
has could in Massachusetts imposing both statism and worse.

Therefore, it not hyperbole but rather Truth.

Please, in just a word or two -- what do you think is the main philosophical difference between Republicans and Democrats?

I'm confused -- which part of the GOP gave you Obama?

Just so you understand ... most of us long-time Republicans regard Romney as "the part of the GOP/Republican party" that gave us Obama. It gave us Obama by making that "choice" you think you had in 2012, completely fake; whether you voted for Obama or you voted for Romney, you were voting for someone who WANTED THE SAME THING in terms of government-run health care, the homosexual agenda, the environmentalist agenda, abortion on demand, anti-gun, pro leftist activist judges -- anyone who actually investigated Romney knew this about him. It is lunacy to vote FOR a candidate who advocates all the things you oppose, HENCE the Republican party caused Obama because it fielded such a false candidate as the "alternative."

Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"

Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson
."


"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."

"I voted for him last time because I thought he was the best choice, and I’ll do it again. Mitt Romney has my support—again—in 2016."

Apart from his numerous leftwing stances, including love of queers, he is the LOSER from the last election. The LOSER. How can anyone who functions normally in everyday life think he would be a good choice? Can you explain?

She’s no lady. She’s a flag woman. No “lady” would support abortion-pushing Romney. She has supported that bastard for YEARS on FR. She is no “lady.”

I'm here to support winning. As Bill Buckley put it when asked who he would support in the 1968 presidential election: "I’d be for the most right, viable candidate who could win."

Meaning we should support the most conservative candidate that can win the election. In that case, for president. No, I wasn't supporting Romney per se. I was trying to unseat 0bama.

Too many "conservatives" worked to assure Romney was not elected, and thus they worked for 0bama.

What a waste of effort!

You are not truthful.

Conservatives tried to help Romney (he refused
and in fact OSTRASIZED them).

They voted for the RAT Romney, anyway.

But the carpetbagger RAT decided he was not really interest,
and sent his wife to defend him, over and over
because the RAT Willard ONLY goes after conservatives
(and their children thru surrogates).

Did Romney apologize to Sen. Thompson yet?

Did Romney apologize to the Palin family yet?

Did Romney apologize to the Speaker yet?

Did Romney apologize to the American people who he screwed now thrice?

“for the most right, viable candidate”

It’s funny that no matter how many times you Romney supporters are asked to sho an example of ‘right’ anything in his actual record, not one of you ever produces an example. Thus, how is it you keep pulling that excuse out?

What ‘right’ in Mitt Romney’s record are you actually basing your support on?

Until you answer that, all you are doing is smokescreening.

Sorry -- regardless of your intent ("I wasn't supporting Romney per se. I was trying to unseat 0bama"), YOU WERE SUPPORTING ROMNEY PER SE. It is a screaming blaring RED FLAG that Republicans who urged people to vote for Romney in 2012, Republicans who berated and cursed those of us who refused to vote against our own freedom and interests for leftist collectivist Romney, are STILL here denying that Romney was "their" candidate. They voted for him and they urged others to vote for him -- OF COURSE HE WAS "THEIR" CANDIDATE. Their intention was to vote "against" Obama so they claim Romney wasn't their candidate, but ... HE WAS.

Voting "against" is imaginary. The only thing that counts is what you vote FOR. I thought and voted like you -- voting "against" the other guy -- for many decades until I FINALLY figured out that voting "against" was making things worse. It is HIGH TIME to start doing things RIGHT, and that includes voting RIGHT. Voting for Romney was WRONG -- proof if that is in the FACT that so many Republicans, such as yourself, deny that Romney was "their candidate" even though they voted for him and urged others to vote for him.

How long is it going to take you to figure it out?

You're comparing Ronald Reagan to that queer-loving, liberal marshmallow?

Really?
