"In an upcoming book by Dan Balz of The Washington Post, Romney expresses regret for how hard he attacked his Republican rivals — especially Texas Gov. Rick Perry — on their immigration stances."

Spurred on by Tokyo Rove and the treasonous GOP-e, the mighty abortionist/homosexualist big government mandate-loving "conservative" Myth Romney destroys all conservatives before him, then rolls over like a dog for the Marxist Obama. But he apologizes for all that now. Governor Perry would've been infinitely better against Obama than Romney. Even Gingrich. But the GOP-e knew better. Never forget!!

True story. Unfortunate that he kind of hosed himself.

He may still have a trick or two up his sleeve though.

I voted against Obama in the general, just like I did the last time with McShame. I pray we can get a conservative on the ballot in 2016. This lesser of two evil GOP-e bullshit just is not working out for America.

FUKR!!

Leave it to the Republican Party to nominate someone who's responsible for implementing a policy that almost every Republican opposes.

That he did. Totally self-destructed in the debates and could not recover. Too bad.

I understand. I feel somewhat sorry for you, I had the opportunity to know about Gary Johnson (a former governor of my State) being the Libertarian Party candidate; so I knew there was a solid person to vote for. Video Link.

I voted for romney also... but that will never happen again. Either the republican party gets “its mind right” or Mark and Sarah will give me someone to VOTE FOR!

I'm sure he's a great guy, but he was a terrible, TERRIBLE candidate, in way over his head - in a primary where the voters wanted to like him.

Not Gov. Palin, Mr. RomneyCARE???

Of course not, Mr. RomneyCARE.
SHE is a woman and below Mr. RomneyCARE.

NOTE:
Mr. RomneyCARE was not even competing with her.
The SOB was jealous that a woman took his place.

Mr. RomneyCARE has given America ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE,
and Obama-the-Undocumented Terrorist-supporter.

Romney - the Van der Sloot RINO

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
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…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"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 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."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s 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 Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… 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.


"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."


"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."


"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?"

Romney’s fist mistake was not inviting Sarah to speak at any rallies.

I guess Obama somehow reminds you that you are glad you didnt vote for Romney.

The hatred of Romney is unnecessary but whatever he is the least of our problems now.

I don’t think he self-destructed. I think the GOPe wanted him to lose just as they did when McLame ran.

According to the article, Romney called on “self-deportation” of illegal aliens, while Gingrich advocated not separating families who came here illegally, and Perry offered in-state tuition to students regardless of their immigration status.

Romney may have had his shortcomings, but at least in this particular area, Romney seems to have been the toughest one on illegal immigration, in comparison to the other two.

And of course there is no comparison between any of the three vs Obama.

He’s a symptom of the problem with the GOP.

Why would a liberal invite a conservative to his rally?
