A new documentary about Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney premiered Friday night at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah. The film, "Mitt," is an extraordinarily intimate look at the former Massachusetts governor as he ran for president twice, in 2008 and 2012. Director Greg Whiteley had impressed Romney with his 2005 documentary "New York Doll," which brilliantly chronicled a broken-down rock musician's conversion to Mormonism, and for the new film, Romney gave Whiteley unprecedented freedom to record behind-the-scenes moments as the candidate and his family endured the trials of two presidential campaigns.....
the old lack of confidence came out again as Romney suggested he never felt comfortable in the race. He passed on something someone at headquarters had told him: "In some ways, we kind of had to steal the Republican nomination. Our party is southern, evangelical and populist. And you're northern, and you're Mormon, and you're rich. And these do not match well with our party."

All he had to say was, "Hell yeah, I'm rich, and I'm damn proud of it. Why does Obama want people to be poor in America?"
FAIL
And they're still around on this board--They especially dislike Sarah Palin ("uneducated"; "a quitter").
They'll be back...they'll be back. Won't matter which loser the GOPe picks next year, they'll be back.
The GOPe didn’t make pro-homo adoption Mitt Romneycare their candidate to beat Obama. They put him in to make sure conservatives didn’t have a chance. They knew that anyone even slightly conservative would crush the witless, charmless, classless, talentless, meritless Barry Soetoro.
“ANYone who would buy THAT lie simply was never a Christian.”
and who are you to sit in judgment of any man? as a Christian you should recall the following:
Matthew Chapt 7:
” 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
7:4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.”
“he is just an ambitious, artificial man, driven to win things”
compared to the real, authentic man we now have in the White House ? i know who i would have rather had as president.
Blame the victims. Empower the oppressors.
Save your lectures. I just laugh at you. And not a jolly laugh.
During the primaries which wild eyed liberals would those be?
“Newt had his chance. He has too much negative baggage and no matter when/if he tries again, it will sink him.”
Newt’s baggage probably pales in comparison to the baggage BO had hidden from the voting public by the MSM. Newt would have eviscerated BO in the debates, but then the MSM would have painted NEWT as some sort of radical, right wing extremist. but at least, i believe, that Newt wouldn’t have hesitated to respond to the MSM attacks. Romney was too vulnerable because of his self doubt, thinking he could never do better than his idolized dad.
consider how America has done with those presidents who have had missing fathers?
Oh yeah Newt... Another GOPe who talks like a professor.... Too bad he is such an insider. I lost all respect when he caved to Clinton. He likes power too much. And if you think about flip flopperrs Newt has his own share
” All he had to say was, “Hell yeah, I’m rich, and I’m damn proud of it. Why does Obama want people to be poor in America?”
i wish you had been a campaign advisor to Romney. sounds like you would have been a better strategis than whomever Mitt employed.
I supported Newt last presidential election. He was the best candidate in the field. On all sides. His weakness is that he cannot turn an apparent negative into a positive.
Now that is funny
“They knew that anyone even slightly conservative would crush the witless, charmless, classless, talentless, meritless Barry Soetoro.”
i wish that were the case, but i think the 47% people are looking for freebies, and a real conservative needs to make the case that if you teach someone to fish, they can feed themselves, and don’t have to depend on Uncle Sam’s generosity. you just have to hope that these folks have enough self respect to consider that as a viable option.
In other words, Jesus was not telling us to avoid judging, but HOW TO judge. If you're engaged in the same sin you're thinking of judging, don't do it.
You would do well to read some of the Scriptures which instruct us TO judge, and how to do so. Why on earth would a Christian think we're supposed to go around without differentiating between right and wrong?
Bottom line, any religion which believes that God used to be human, and that He had sex with Mary to produce Jesus is not Christian.
“However Obama still could have been handed an embarrassing defeat if only the 4 MILLION conservatives who voted Republican in 2008 would have voted. By NOT VOTING they voted FOR obama. “
i wonder if those 4 million who didn’t vote in 2012 really did vote? do you recall poll watchers in Ohio and elsewhere reporting that votes cast by voters for Romney were being recorded as votes for BO? it just seemed that Repubs are just too weak to pursue these issues, unlike Democratic candidates who appear to lose by small margins, but end up winning because the Dem party suddenly finds bags of uncounted votes, or calls for recount after recount until their candidate is declared the winner. also. weren’t the 2012 national election votes counted by some overseas business concern?
Oh, puhleeeze.
Cloudmountain wasn’t condemning anyone to hell, but simply identifying a non-Christian.....which is pretty easy to do given their identifiable fruit, or lack thereof.
If you start off 47% in the hole why nominate a liberal who isn’t going to appeal to the base? It makes no sense.
quote “In some ways, we kind of had to steal the Republican nomination”
um... yeah... we noticed. There is a reason millions of conservatives stayed home.
