Romney Loyalists Hyping Comeback: 'Republicans Are Dying to Be Associated with Him'
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | August 3, 2014 | Tony Lee

Posted on 08/03/2014 6:36:07 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Mitt Romney loyalists are trying to gin up the narrative that Republicans just can't get enough of Romney.

“Democrats don’t want to be associated with Barack Obama right now, but Republicans are dying to be associated with Mitt Romney,” Spencer Zwick, "a longtime Romney confidant who chaired his national finance council," claimed to the Washington Post. The Chamber of Commerce, which has vowed to wage war on the Tea Party and push through amnesty legislation, glowingly praised Romney, alleging he would be in a "commanding position" if he entered the 2016 race.

Romney is reportedly set to make trips to West Virginia, North Carolina, Arkansas, Colorado, and Virginia to campaign for Republicans. Yet besides the media, most of the people clamoring for another Romney "comeback" are his loyalists and closest advisers, who defied all statistical models to lose an election many thought should never have been lost.

In a July article for Politico Magazine, Emil Henry, who "served in multiple roles in the 2012 campaign, including adviser to the economic team, television surrogate and fundraiser," laughingly alleged that "Romney is re-emerging as the de facto leader of the Republican Party."

Ladies and gentlemen here you have one of the main characters. Name calling foul mouthed. I have been asked actually demanded to name them. I knew they would show up with their foul mouths and name calling.

Nice to see you

What I said was absolutely true. This premiere conservative website during the 2012 election was a mess. The main characters here working tirelessly telling everyone that it’s MUCH better to re-elect the disaster that is Barack Hussein Obama than to *GASP* vote for Romney.

We have an unmitigated disaster on our hands with the current White House occupant. Attacking me because I’m not looking forward to the circular firing squad that WILL take place here in 2016 is rather odd.

I REALLY think that if you are going to continue to denigrate FR, "this website", and whine about being attacked, you should address the owner of this website...who has absoultely NO respect for Romney.

Re: my post to you:

Freeloader (definition): A person who takes advantage of others' generosity without giving anything in return.

Parasite (definition): A person who relies on or exploits others and gives nothing in return.

Are the labels accurate? Let's take a look:

"Like you, mtbaldy, i was also attacked for my support of romney during the general election. I also do not donate to this website, and that is the reason. I was attacked for supporting santorum during the primaries by other posters here. When it came to a choice between Obama and Romney, my decision was easy.

I hope others can keep this website going so we can all once again argue that the 2016 republican nominee is just not good enough and everyone should stay home.

So we see that yes, the labels are, indeed, valid. And your undying love for the queer lover Romney brands you as a liberal.

"Damned" is a foul word to you? Why, what a delicate little flower of a deadbeat you are.

If you have a serious problem with FR then perhaps you should post elsewhere.

Go along? Ann is pushing him to try again because she already had the drapes picked out for the WH.

Do you really think I’m going to quiver because of someone who demands of only electing “white Christian men” attacks me because I supported Mitt Romney over Barack Hussein Obama?

Think again.

This old lady isn’t at ALL impressed by your foul mouthed tirades and never ending angry posts towards anyone with whom you disagree (which seems to be just about everyone)

During the 2012 election, those of you, especially the main characters here who supported Obama over Romney........do you just want to be the continuous victim? Or, do you have some devious ulterior motive? Perhaps to help Obama in the destruction of America.

In any event, you’re one of the main characters here. You’re an angry, foul mouthed individual who isn’t going to work to elect ANYONE other than democrats.

From all of the mail I received today (it was a record setting amount), it seems that a whole bunch of people who read and post here sparingly don’t quite agree with you.

You and others here worked diligently to elect Barack Hussein Obama not once but twice. Now, why would you want that? He’s not a white Christian male........but it allows you to be the perpetual victim now, doesn’t it? It allows you to continue with your foul mouthed tirade, while claiming that you can ONLY elect white Christian males....

Mitt Romney isn’t running for President. The problem YOU will face is no matter who the republicans elect during their primary process, you will work tirelessly to criticize and insult ANYONE who dares to support the republican over the democrat.

Your foul mouthed tirades just make you look a bit unhinged.

You can do want you wish. I’m never donating to your website because of the criticism *I* received when stating that I’m supporting Romney over Obama.

It makes me wonder why you wanted Obama?

Ban me, do want you want. You had a wonderful photo taken with Sarah Palin. She isn’t a white Christian male in case you haven’t noticed. Some of your main characters here, the most foul mouthed, would never vote for her.

2016 will bring this (perhaps formerly) premiere conservative website into yet another battlefield of the foul mouthed posters who will vote for the liberal before ANY republican (keeping them the victim), and just using vulgarities towards anyone who would dare vote for the republican.

As far as YOU telling ME to “FU”..........I don’t use that type of language. Being a conservative lady, I really do enjoy being able to speak my mind without crawling into the gutter. You do what you wish with regards to that gutter. But, shame on you for using that type of language. Romney isn’t running in 2016, neither is Santorum, Palin, Cruz or Rubio.

Rick Perry just MIGHT run which will bring out even more of the filthy language spewing main characters here. It might actually be enjoyable watching the most foul mouthed main characters here trying to impress you and others by attacking Rick Perry, IF he decides to run. He’s a great looking man, that’s for sure.

Oh, he’ll get my total support if he runs.

You can continue to “FU” all over the place.

I should hope so. I've worked hard for it.

"Do you really think I’m going to quiver because of someone who demands of only electing “white Christian men” attacks me because I supported Mitt Romney over Barack Hussein Obama?"

If that's what you think my tagline says, you're stupid as well as selfish.

BTW, what do you have against Christians? You prefer Mormons who love queers, I guess?

""Think again."

"This old lady isn’t at ALL impressed by your foul mouthed tirades and never ending angry posts towards anyone with whom you disagree (which seems to be just about everyone)"

Oh, how cute...I have a stalker, LOL. You should get out more, Mom.

"During the 2012 election, those of you, especially the main characters here who supported Obama over Romney........do you just want to be the continuous victim? Or, do you have some devious ulterior motive? Perhaps to help Obama in the destruction of America."

Are you drinking, Mom?

"In any event, you’re one of the main characters here."

Nah, I haven't been here that long. But I have a tendency to not hold back when screeching, freeloading harridans start pimping liberal politicians.

Can you explain why you're so enamored of Romney? Is it the leftwing stances? The hair? The magic underwear?

" You’re an angry, foul mouthed individual who isn’t going to work to elect ANYONE other than democrats."

Clutching your pearls over the use of the word "damned." What a special snowflake you are. And a freeloading one, at that.

"From all of the mail I received today (it was a record setting amount),"

LOL

it seems that a whole bunch of people who read and post here sparingly don’t quite agree with you."

Whatever you say, deadbeat.

"You and others here worked diligently to elect Barack Hussein Obama not once but twice. Now, why would you want that?

"During the 2012 election, those of you, especially the main characters here who supported Obama over Romney...

There was no one on FR who supported Obama over Romney.
It was Romney who supported Obama.
Romney, the stinking RAT, helped Obama against conservatives.
Romney, the stinking backstabbing RAT, gave Obama pizza from money he stole from supporters.
Romney, the stinking RAT, protected his Obama against conservatives demanding VETTING.

So, puhleaze, at least be honest.

It was Romney for Obama (which is why the Rat Willard LOST)

Romney: "Obama was born in the United States"

Romney: "Obama Doesn’t Need a Birth Certificate"

Romney: "The citizenship test has been passed"


"Mitt Romney Sends Leftover Pizza to Obama Chicago HQ
After spending the day in Chicago fundraising, Mitt Romney
sat down with small business owners at Gino's East,
a pizza joint famous for their deep-dish pizza.
In fact, Romney himself tweeted a photo of a
delivery boy heading out with the loot, writing,
"Great deep dish at @ginoseast.
Sending the extra slices to @barackobama and his Chicago HQ team."

ahhh, one of the other main characters here. Do tell, do you also insist on only electing Christian white males?

Mitt Romney isn’t the issue. The issue *IS* the fact the the main characters here did everything (sadly, successfully) within their power to tell anyone who would dare vote for Romney over Obama that they were wrong.

Are you gearing up for 2016? Ready to trash and insult everyone and anyone who dares to vote for the republican candidate? whoever that may be....

By the way, who did you work for during the 2012 primary process? You didn’t do a very good job, apparently.

I’m not afraid of the name calling, foul mouthed main characters here. I’m voting for the republican in the general election in 2016. You and the other main characters here can continue your foul mouthed, name calling towards anyone who dares to vote for that person.

By the way, who are YOU going to work to nominate in 2016?

let me guess, ‘anyone other than the republican’

Your ratio of nastiness to facts is zero.

The backstabbing liberal Rat, Willard Romney
IS absolutely the issue. See the title of the thread?

Instead of discussing Romney's behavior, or Romney's history,
YOU attack FReepers.

I don't believe you have the courage to discuss Romney
who is running and will ruin the Country as he did
in the last two elections.

So.
Let's start with Romney IMPOSING ROmneyCARE:

YOU ARE THERE

THE IMPOSITION OF OBAMACARE/ROMNEYCARE
AND DEATH PANELS BY MYTH ROMNEY,
THE “SWIMMER” AND THEIR TRAINED (INCARCERTED, TESTIFYING) FELON.

And it is a fact that ROmney imposed gay marriage and polygamy onto America -- by himself.

Note Romney’s use of improper executive authority. [The Romney Way™]

"Experts: Credit Romney for homosexual marriage"
"What he (Governor Bishop Mitt Romney) did was exercise illegal legislative authority'

"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."

And it is a fact that Romney was a terrible governor.

The Rat Willard was a carpetbagging loser. And then a spoiler.

Here are the facts from CATO.

"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

Wow. It’s a good thing Romney didn’t win! Your head would explode, huh?

Good thing you successfully worked hard to elect Obama. He’s been so good for America!

You have such hatred towards Mitt Romney.

So, who are you going to work for in 2016?

Do have posts like that bookmarked to tell everyone how horrible Obama has been for America?

Who are you going to work for in 2016, again?

Oh, that’s right, anyone but the republican.

And you worked for....? during the 2012 primary process? You obviously did a lousy job since *GASP* Romney won the nomination, setting you into orbit! Did you then decide to work on the Obama side? Or, were you on that side all along?

The record will note that YOU had a chance to address the
issues of what this thread is about, but could not.

THAT is why you attack FReepers, and act so presumptuously.

And in their stead, you have revealed yourself as a typical Romney-supporting,
therefore Soros-supporting and Obama-supporting, conservative backstabber.
