Mitt Romney promised that he won’t vanish from politics during a meeting in Washington Friday morning with a group of former campaign donors and aides.
Two people at the meeting told Politico that Romney said he will help Republican candidates in upcoming elections.

He's back. Ugh!
A wealthy man, who is, by most accounts a good person, wants to work behind the scenes to help defeat Democrats.
There are reasonable calls for party unity, and the need to be cohesive, instead of constantly employing the circular firing squad.
So, which is it? That’s rhetorical, I know the answer.
Well I would rather look at Mitt than Obama anyday at least Mitt does not have flies on his face.
Pleeze, pleeze, pleeze, go away. I know Rush Limbaugh practically burst into tears talking about how wonderful you were (the day before the election), but most of us didn’t share that opinion, as you could probably tell from the election.
You’re a statist, and we don’t need anymore of those.
he needs to go away, really
Well that’s reassuring. We can all sleep soundly tonight.
at least Mitt does not have flies on his face.

In LIBSPEAK that means ‘Flies don’t even like him.
"The Republicans are fools. It is already settled.
In 2016, the GOP will run me again, and with Colin Powell for VP
and Farrakhan for Sec. of State.”
We are so screwed.
help? (((eye roll)))
Two people at the meeting told Politico that Romney said he will help Republican candidates in upcoming elections.
Is he being paid by the Democrats? He had to cheat to win the nomination and then refused to campaign against Obama.
In many European newspapers it is reported that Mitt really did not have his heart set on the presidency and that he ran a lackluster campaign.
Will he be more pro-active in 2016? Bwaaaahaha. And will the GOP push him to the forefront again?
I’ve learned to trust foreign papers more than I trust the US MSM.
I guess the PsTB and the GOPe saw Rand Paul’s star rising yesterday and want to smother his presidential ambitions in the worst way so they’re going to drag out the spoiler from liberalchussetts and try to serve up the warmed over turd again to make sure another dem gets elected.
I’m not sure about foreign media but I know ours are pure crap
Myself and others who decided to support you after you won the GOP Primary (and because we wanted the Marxist out) caught heck on this forum from some of our fellow Conservatives. In hindsight, looks like some of this criticism towards you was correct. Seriously Mitt, WTF were you thinking by not challenging Obama about his role in Benghazi WHERE AMERICANS DIED! Sorry, Mitt, but I swallowed by pride, and dignity defending you in the last election. No More! You had your chance, and you chose to be moderate. I'm choosing to never, ever vote for you again in a presidential election. It is true that 3-4 million conservatives didn't vote in the last election, but did you do everything you could've to prove to them that you really were conservative?
Self-contradiction. The only way he can help is to vanish.
Please, can you imagine how much better things would be right now with Romney instead of Obama?
He would have dealt with teh budget with Congress. No tax increases. No turning illegals into citizens. No gun grabbing. No John Fing Kerry or Chuck Hagel (who probably will get us all killed). And efforts to eliminate Obamacare. The list is endless.
>A wealthy man, who is, by most accounts a good person,...<
Someone who gave Massachusetts $50 abortions...the cheapest in the country...and who thinks homosexuals should be Boy Scout leaders is NOT a good person...but that’s just me.

Oh, I definitely agree. I supported this guy in every way I could during the election. That being said, Mitt needs to give up his aspirations about running for President. Not even really sure the next election will make too much difference. The damage will most likely have all been done.
Those zero flies know real stink...
Meh.. I’m not an ardent Mitt basher and like the fact that he isn’t slinking away in defeat. That said, Romney has rendered Paul Ryan as poison (look at Ryans new approval numbers) so I don’t think Romney would be much help at all.. I’m ambivalent about Romney’s politics but I’m not gonna heap any extra scorn on the guy for losing, especially when the GOP primary and its press coverage pretty much milked us of any chance of winning this election.
What are you talking about? People are still talking about Mitt’s evisceration of Obama in the first debate. Had Sandy not occurred and had Christie not opened his big fat footlong loving mouth we’d have a different president from Flyfaced Obama.
Not a huge fan of the guy obviously but its a myth to say he didn’t even try in the general.
Look, the only way not to be polite and say “I’m not going away, I will help candidates” is to do a Nixon and say “you won’t have me to kick around anymore”.
I think Romney was being polite. However it’s possible that if Obama takes the Titanic USA into the iceberg patch, Romney will get a little more respect as the I told you so guy, as with this Mali situation.
But don’t count on it, we tend to bury losers pretty deep in this country.
You are sweet on Romney, but it was MITT ROMNEY
who IMPOSED RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE and gay marriage
on a state that wanted neither.
MITT ROMNEY is nothing ... but an assassin of conservatives.

I agree, I think he did very good in the debates. However, as I mentioned, he left many people scratching their heads when he didn't even bring up Barry's role in Benghazi where Americans died. He also didn't help matters when he agreed with the Dems that some of the wealthy weren't “paying there fair share.”
Again, don't get me wrong, I would be very happy if Mitt were president now, but I really do believe he should stay under the radar in the future. Mitt was definitely a decent guy.
If he wants to work for some candidates or for the party, there's no harm.
I’m anti Obama. And Romney did NOT force gay marriage he fought to stop it through various efforts and lost.
He did however pass Romneycare. A shame.
I voted for Virgil Goode.
I wasn’t fooled by Myth…
Or by the golfbag.
I agree, but some freepers seem to have lost their big boy pants, and still want to mis post Headlines (Lord Help Us)' and grouse about Romney while our Country is under assault from the Current Occupant of the Whitehouse.
After watching the Histrionics coming from HC at the Benghazi hearings, I'm not in the mood for it from FReepers.
Maybe he could run for a city or county position somwhere and leave us the hell alone.
"Please, can you imagine how much better things would be right now with Romney instead of Obama?Whatever you're drinking tonight, I'd also like one..."He would have dealt with teh budget with Congress.

My guess is he'll get about as many invitations as McCain did after he lost.
Don't we have more important things to worry about, like the ongoing destruction of the country by the Lame Duck President?
I’m with you Williams......and I’ll bet there are far more Conservatives who agree than disagree with your opinion.
No, it’s okay, he can go away now.
Tell the truth.
ROMNEY IMPOSED ROMNEYMARRIAGE (gay marriage)
by threatening the Clerks.
The Law did not support Romney-the-Dictator.
The MASS Constitution did not support Romney-the-Dictator.
No wonder Romney supports Soros and Obama.
"While former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney claims he did everything possible to throttle homosexual marriage in his state – his campaign now saying he took "every conceivable step within the law to defend traditional marriage" – several constitutional experts say that just isn't so.
"What Romney did [was] he exercised illegal legislative authority," Herb Titus said of the governor's actions after the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court released its opinion in the Goodridge case in 2003. "He was bound by what? There was no order. There wasn't even any order to the Department of Public Health to do anything."
Titus, a Harvard law graduate, was founding dean of Pat Robertson's Regent University Law School. He also worked with former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, ...
Romney's aides have told WND that after four of the seven court members reinterpreted the definition of marriage, he believed he had no choice but to direct clerks and others to change state marriage forms and begin registering same-sex couples.
Some opponents contend that with those actions, Romney did no more or less than create the first homosexual marriages recognized in the nation. And Titus agrees."
"....But the court's decision conflicts with the constitutional philosophy of three co-equal branches of government: executive, legislative and judicial, Titus said. It also violates with the Massachusetts Constitution, which states: "The power of suspending the laws, or (suspending) the execution of the laws, ought never to be exercised but by the legislature..."
And it cannot even be derived from the opinion itself, asserts the pro-family activist group Mass Resistance, which says the decision did four things:
* First, it acknowledged that the current law does not permit same-sex marriage.
"The only reasonable explanation is that the Legislature did not intend that same-sex couples be licensed to marry. We conclude, as did the judge, that G.L. c. 207 may not be construed to permit same-sex couples to marry."
* Second, it said it is NOT striking down the marriage laws (among other things, the Massachusetts Constitution forbids a court to change laws)
"Here, no one argues that striking down the marriage laws is an appropriate form of relief."
* Third, it declared that not allowing same-sex marriages is a violation of the Massachusetts Constitution.
"We declare that barring an individual from the protections, benefits, and obligations of civil marriage solely because that person would marry a person of the same sex violates the Massachusetts Constitution."
* And fourth, given that the court is not changing any laws, the SJC gave the Legislature 180 days to "take such action as it may deem appropriate."
"We vacate the summary judgment for the department. We remand this case to the Superior Court for entry of judgment consistent with this opinion. Entry of judgment shall be stayed for 180 days to permit the Legislature to take such action as it may deem appropriate in light of this opinion."
After the Legislature did nothing during the 180 days, Romney then took action "on his own," the group said.
"Gov. Romney's legal counsel issued a directive to the Justices of the Peace that they must perform same-sex marriages when requested or 'face personal liability' or be fired," the group said."
“....if Obama takes the Titanic USA into the iceberg patch, Romney will get a little more respect....”
.
Big deal, what good is respect when the entire country resides on the bottom of the ocean.
Romney go away...and take McCain with you. No more RINOs.
Romney go away...and take McCain with you. No more RINOs.
Then why did he even bother when there were other candidates that DID want to win?
To just destroy conservatives is my answer.
If he fought Obama with 1/10th of the effort he used to go after others in the primary he might have gotten the base to come out.
Instead he ran the same old tired playbook of a moderate general election the GOP has been running, except for Reagan whom they fought, since Nixon in 1972.
Hahaha
-PJ
Actually, and I hope I dont get heat for this, but Reagan had a very big tent coalition in the 80s and people revere him for it. If the GOP was all about ultra conservatives, the party wouldn’t appeal to the electorate. RINO’s aren’t bad, so long as they know their place.
Bull the “moderates” treated Reagan like crap till he walked over them to win and have lied about it ever since. Nothing but Uriah Heep republiscum.
