Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney , the Republican presidential nominee in 2012, told a meeting of donors Friday that he is considering another White House bid in 2016, people present said.

The possibility of a third Romney bid could upend the emerging GOP field, coming as top Republican donors are starting to rally behind former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

Mr. Romney made the remarks during a session Friday afternoon -SNIP-

This website is great but we are very small these days, a few thousand active members perhaps. We are the choir and the preacher combined. An echo chamber. I assue you, very sophisticated polling is causing this change in course for Romney. Do you remember the human interest video that came out after the election? Mitt has not authorized replays because it still has legs. There is light at the end of the tunnel, as it was when Reagan ran again after defeats. We needed Reagan because of the slide we experienced relative to Russia and the cold war. We need Mitt to remind us of our humanity, our faith, our resolve, our responsibility, and our greatness. He is a Pastor after all and one hell of a determined leader.

Welcome to FR, troll.

Like Ronald Reagan’s three tries? He one on the third try.

80%? Myth Romney? you gotta be sh###ng me.

Sure. But they will still do it. They;ll die, and so will we.

But they’ll do it. Because it’s what they do.

" We need Mitt to remind us of our humanity, our faith, our resolve, our responsibility, and our greatness.

ROTFLMAO!

Dude, congratulations. That post of yours is even funnier than the Mohammed joke thread. In fact, it may be the most hilarious thing I've ever read here.

Tell us, if Mitt is so determined, why did he lose so miserably?

And he isn't a "pastor". He's Mormon, not Christian.

As for Mitt being the keeper of our humanity, faith, resolve, and greatness,(LOL!!) let me ask you this. Romney said in 2012 that two people of the same sex who "love each other" should be allowed to adopt children. So....how does THAT view fit into your concept of Mitt as mini-god?

Tell you what, you can cuddle up to that prissy queer-lover all you want. Just don't expect conservatives to do the same.

And here you are again pushing mitt.

Oh, GAHHHH! Go away, Mitt Romney. Enjoy a peaceful retirement, taking your grandchildren fishing.

I have no use for Rand Paul, or his all over the place foreign policy. But I believe that he can win a general election. I will vote for him if I have to.

And THAT is precisely why the Republican party continues it's leftward slide. Because voters feel pressured into voting for the 'lesser evil' instead of walking away with their dignity and core principles intact.

If enough of us did that in enough elections, the Republican party would begin drifting rightward - finally.

One essential political truism you must never forget is: You Get More Of What You Vote For.

Then there was a variable.
Either he improved or his opponents got worse.

That is, by far, one of the most pukeworthy statements I've read on Free Republic in quite some time.

Romney is an imposer of statism, gay marriage,
socialized medicine, open borders.

Romney even suggested once that Americans pay
for healthcare for Hezbollah.

America can trust a random monkey more than Romney.

Welcome to Free Republic. Watch your step.

[ansel12]

You really want to compare Mitt Romney to Reagan, a man that Romney despised and left the party because of, and who spent years trying to destroy Reagan’s pro-life reputation and efforts?

“Too bad, so sad for the GOP-e. They can’t kill us, but they can drive us away from the polls and into the streets.
Their call.”

I doubt they could care less.

[Jim Robinson]

Romney is no Reagan. Not even close.

[Jim Robinson]

FUMR!!

[Diogenesis]

Actually, stinky, backstabber Willard “Rat” Romney
tried three times already.

Attacked Sen. Thompson the first time.
Attacked Gov. Palin and HER CHILDREN the second time.
Attacked Mr. Cain and the Speaker the third time.

It is a fact that
Rat Romney is the reason Obama is pRes_ _ent.

[EternalVigilance]

Wow. You sound like a real Romney insider.
