Romney on 2016 Run: ‘Circumstances Can Change’ [Don't ZOT the messenger!]
Mediaite ^ | August 26, 2014 6:50pm | Eddy Scarry (Really!)

Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has denied he’s not going to make a third bid for the White House but on Tuesday he left open a very small window.

“I know you’re going to press, but you know, this is something we gave a lot of thought to when early on I decided we’re not going to be running this time,” Romney said in an interview with Hugh Hewitt. “And again, we said look, I had the chance of running. I didn’t win. Someone else has a better chance than I do. And that’s what we believe, and that’s why I’m not running. And you know, circumstances can change, but I’m just not going to let my head go there.” .... (italics & blue mine)

Romney’s former running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) recently said he hopes Romney will run again.

“I damn sure won’t vote for a liberal, especially a liberal (R).

/johnny”

That’s the same then as voting for Hitlery.

No it’s not. Draw a diagram, you’ll see.

Nope. It's not. Supporting a liberal republican candidate will get Hillary elected.

Liberal establishment republicans won't do any better this time around trying to scare people with Hillary.

I'll vote for a real conservative. That probably won't be a D or an R.

I don't owe liberal republicans my vote when they run candidates that don't even match their own party platform on abortion, guns, amnesty, socialized medicine, and big government.

Don’t be sorry.... you’re entitled to your opinions as am I.
When George inherited the governorship of Michigan, it was in financial crisis, as is California is today. He had turned AMC that went from losing millions of dollars to turning a profit of $60 million.

People close to Mr. Romney say they have no doubt that he opposes terminating a pregnancy. Mitt Romney was governor in a state whose politics did not match his own. His convictions had “evolved and deepened” as governor and called for decisions about abortion to be left to the states [reversal of Roe v. Wade.]when the State Legislature sent him a bill to expand access to emergency contraception, he vetoed it.

I believ Mitt has wisdom & can handle pressure... no other candidate except maybe Perry can IMHO.

It’s really very simple. Then you will have voted for Hillary.

Sorry Charlie, no diagram needed to see that you will have done the equivalent of voting for Hillary. Plain and simple.

If you draw the diagram you will see there will be no Hillary on the ballot, and, well you can figure out the rest.

No. A vote for Hillary is a vote for Hillary.

A vote for the candidate of my choice is a vote for the candidate of my choice.

And what you think doesn't matter.

Even with your attempted fear mongering, you won't make any sales, no-one is buying your liberal republican Romney.

He will lose again.

He was un-electable then (proven by him not getting elected) and he's un-electable now.

HA! HA! HA! HA! You don’t know Mitt very well. You say people “close” to Romney say he opposes terminating a pregnancy. That is all well and good but he also said he will fight to protect a woman’s “right” to murder her baby, no matter what he personally opposes. He’s also said his mother is the reason he is pro-choice. What those people close to him say means nothing.

He has also been on both sides of the issue multiple times. He’s been on multiple sides of most issues which makes him unfit to be president. His positions bouncing to and fro like waves of the sea prove he’s too unstable to govern properly. His congenital lying doesn’t help either.

It doesn’t have to be Romney. It can be Chris Christy. Or how about Jeb Bush, lol. Who are you going to vote for? Anyone other than a Republican is a vote for Hillary. It’s as simple as that.

Nope. I won't vote for any liberal republican. Ever.

I don't owe my vote to republicans.

In fact, I seek to politically destroy liberal republicans by ensuring they don't ever win again.

Why would I want to vote for a liberal republican that is anti-gun, pro-abortion, pro-amnesty, for socialized medicine, and wants to grow government?

That's what the Dems are offering.

It's sad that you support liberals.

If you vote for a liberal republican, you ARE a liberal.

You establishment republicans tried this fear-mongering tactic last election. How did that work out for you?

It's even worse this election because the liberal republicans have very clearly attacked conservatives. They will get even fewer votes.

Attacking the base is stupid.

“If you vote for a liberal republican, you ARE a liberal.”

No, I am poliically astute and you aren’t. Doesn’t make any difference if a Pub leans more conservative or liberal. If you don’t vote for a Pub in 2016, you are voting for the Dem. No third party can or will win. Only a Pub or a Dem. You don’t vote for the Pub, you are voting for Hillary. You can try arguing against that, but everyone knows otherwise. It’s as simple as that.

We ended up with Obama. How did that work out for you?
