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."

You have used the term "Main Characters" at least a dozen times.

Once again - Name 'em and Ping 'em.

It’s a leftist/Democratic talking point (”she’s a grifter”), used here by her enemies almost as much as the Tina Fey quote or the quitter label.

“What’s wrong with a capitalistic venture?”

Nothing, as long as they know that’s what it is.

You are probably right.

It just bugs me when people try to get away with sweeping generalizations. Especially of the amorphous “they said” type.

So everyone on planet Earth who buys something or contributes to a cause must know **everything** about the product, service or campaign or it’s “just not fair” and they were “bilked” out of their money? That’s the kind of dog**** that Occupy Wall Street and the Fabian Socialists peddle. What’s your handle over at Daily Kos? Or is it Democratic Underground? Or maybe MoveOn?

We have been dealing with the Romney trolls for at least 8 years and their constant chant is simply that he isn’t Obama and conservatives suck, how many times over the years can we keep seeing the same post over and over, and over.

Huh? I am a capitalist. If you or anyone else wants to start a capitalistic venture, the market will decide its fate.

I don’t know what that means, but hey, I would support Ted Cruz if he ran. Does that give me street cred?

I will say right here and right now, I will support the Republican nominee in 2016 whether they are my first choice or not.

” - - - the losing side - - - “ is what Dole, McCain and “Romneycare” Romney have perfected.

Those Republicans in name only have turned losing elections into an Art Form!

Failure really does leave tracks, that Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy, NY’s Peter King and RINO Ryan are very carefully following.

The continued future failure of the Republican Establishment politicians in Congress has been threatened lately by Republican Politicians who have shifted into Cruz Control to repel the disease-riddled horde of Invading Illegal Obama Wetbacks.

As we write, I am confident that the Adherents of the failed Boehnerism Wing of the GOP-E, (mentioned above), will quickly rally and cave-in very soon to THE HIGH COMMAND of THE MUSLIM DEMOCRAT BROTHERHOOD in the White Hut.

If there is one thing that the low information voter loves, it is to be told what to do by a charismatic dictator.

So, who is your candidate for 2016? If your candidate fails to win the nomination, will you stay home?

I never stay home.

Right now who I will vote for in 2016 all depends on the Hard Choices made by 1.) Blond Benghazi Bombshell, (Mrs. Bill Clinton), and 2.) good ‘Ol Boy, skinny dippin,’ “Chains” Biden.

Let’s go back to March when Mitt was saying that balanced budgets, constitutionally limited government and free markets were ideas of the “wild right”...his socialist side was showing again: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3136119/posts

They must be democrats. They insist on pimping someone who they know has zero chance of winning.
