You are right. Nothing strange about a poster here under a month pushing for the most reviled candidate in our lifetime.

The ones who needed a BREAK .... from Romney and his surrogates
were the Palins and the American people.
The RAT Romney will be remembered into Eternity
for throwing the 2008 Election to Obama.
Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers, some of whom are currently working for Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin's bid for the White House,
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide, now working for McCain-Palin.
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
He's in charge on November 5th.'"
The Prowler added: "Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."
The Romney supporters in the McCain campaign had access to internal polling which indicated well in advance of the November 4 election that McCain had no chance to win.
So they began working to position their man Mitt for a run in 2012. Just two days after the election,The Palmetto Scoop reported:
"One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"Im told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palins people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romneys former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
These aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
Erick Erickson, who organized Operation Leper, said:
"Heres what I think: I think there are some staffers on the McCain campaign who seriously screwed up the roll out of Sarah Palin, to which Governor Palin herself objected.
These staffers are now out trying to finish her off thinking, as typical D.C. types do, that if they dont do it to her, shell do it to them. They just never understood who Palin is or what she is about."
"Likewise, I do think there are some staffers and others who expect Mitt Romney to run again in 2012,
they decided McCain could not win, and decided to undermine Sarah Palin and her chances hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."
"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

Can we have some real candidates, please? I swear, at this rate I wouldn’t be surprised to see Bob Dole on the ticket.
To: lee martell
Neither will happen, but we can be assured that the American people will make the wrong decision.

Nixon won for POTUS in 68 with a 43% plurality, almost identical to BJ Clinton in 92.

You may have an image of Romney from what you saw during the campaign, most of us here know his entire career and his true political positions.
I assume you know that Mitt Romney was a lifelong supporter of abortion since 1963, and that the he was a passionate speaker on why abortion had to be legal, and he fund raised for Planned Parenthood BUT..........tell me this, after he won the nomination, did Mitt Romney campaign as pro-life and as a defender of the pro-life platform of the republican party, or as against it, and for “health” of the mother, which is modern speak for “abortion on demand”?

There are fewer and fewer of you 'vote Pub no matter who or what' left.
And some of us that are vocal about the liberal republicans are doing something.
We're manning phones and knocking on doors, trying to get liberal republicans fired, either at the primary or in the general election.
So get used to the new normal. There will be pushback if the GOP tries running a liberal candidate. Pushback to the extent your liberal candidate will lose.

So, two time Congressman, Senator, two time vice president, a stolen election against JFK in 1960, failed to knock off incumbent gov, Pat Brown in 62, and in 1968 he became president, followed by 1972, one of the biggest landslides in history, becoming the first republican presidential candidate to win the Catholic vote.
Romney is a political failure. Romney has won a single election that he won with less than 50%, in his more than 20 year career, and he served that single term as a failure and had to give up his goal of reelection, leaving office with 34% approval and turning the seat over to the democrats.
Romney ran against nobodies for 2008 and lost to two guys with no money or organization after he broke spending records and spent 50 million dollars of his own money, then in 2012 he squeaked it out as America kept desperately rotating among his nobody challengers for someone besides Mitt, then he lost the election against Jimmy Carters second term, an election that was almost impossible to lose, and it wasnt even close.

It’s the upside-down world of a GOP sycophant Johnny. People that oppose the abortion funding governor are scum and his supporters are doing the will of Reagan and the founders.
Remember when being on FR meant you were smarter than a DU poster? I sure miss those days.

I’m not selling Romney.
I’m just saying he might be inspired by Nixon’s comeback.
My own view is that Romney has almost no shot at the nomination in 2016. He was a weak candidate, just like McLame. All the billions aren’t going to make that much difference.

You know, if Romney were to gain the nomination again - I don’t think he will run again - the same group of folks here would work their asses off to make sure Hillary wins.

Find me a more conservative position in Mitt Romney’s record than Hillary. Even she had a couple she could hang her hat on. Gay marriage being one. Pathetic as she is, Mit doesn’t even have that.
Aren’t you proud of that?

I’m trying to explain to you that 67 year old Mitt Romney is no Richard Nixon and never was.
You can’t just see that they both lost a presidential run, and jump to the conclusion that their situation is the same, or similar.
I’m baffled as to how Romney gained the image of being such a major politician.
It is all image and no substance, we don’t even know why he runs, or what he wants.
Romney is a perennial loser.
