Romeny’s had his bites at the apple. He let it slip away through his fingers. We don’t need a POTUS who can’t stand up to a fat woman named Candy. (Sorry, Candy, but it’s true.)

But as a candidate he evidently did, he lost by millions, an election that the republicans couldn’t lose.

Romney is unelectable.

But the GOP knows that.

I can't wait until the liberal republicans are politically destroyed.

Water under the bridge, or to put it in another vernacular, spores in the wind.

He would have to be utterly authentic

How would he explain why after he won the nomination, that he switched back to being pro-choice, and claimed that he had campaigned as such?

The silly GOP can nominate Mittens again, but he might drop out on Oct. 1 and endorse HRC to promote “unity”.

I see that the TEA Party Express is pimping Romney again too...

Should Mitt Romney Run for President in 2016?

Because the true believers would not back him.

Sure he sucked but the other teams true believers backed Obama.

Now where are we at?

I understand the disgust with moderates.

Jeez Obama is hanging it all around our necks now, but if the ahole was not in office we would have a chance.

That is your argument in support of the pro-choice Romney running again, is that republican voters don’t vote for him?

Its a fact, had we voted for Romney as distasteful as he is we would not be enduring Obama crapping on our heads.

Lesser of two evils and all that...

Having lost to Kennedy in 1960, and then having lost the 1962 gubernatorial election in California, Nixon was assumed politically dead. But he was revived by working hard for other candidates — he worked hard for conservative Barry Goldwater in 1964 and backed liberal Republican Nelson Rockefeller's candidacy in New York — just to name two of the many GOPers he hit the hustings for between 1962 and 1968.

But thats what Romney did not do. He sat silent during the early battles about Obamacare and left it to Palin and a small handful of others to fight the fight... and indeed, romniacs almost uniformly savaged Palin at every opportunity. In fact, I'd say that the romniacs were as relentless in their attacks on Palin and tea party conservatives as they were silent in the face of Obama's assault on the constitution.

In fact, he was AWOL all during all the fights that mattered. He continues to be AWOL. He does not lead. He does not fight. He does not stand for anything.

Leaders lead. Fighters fight. They do not wait to be anointed.

Romney tanked Massachusetts and imposed gay marriage
and ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE.

AND he is Mexican.

Romney/Soros 2016

Who is pushing this crap?!?!?

Mitt! Take a hint! We don't want you as our candidate. You are a proven loser.

Its a war of increments, you don’t just charge headlong into 500 troops alone, it is certain death.

Face it the stuff Mittens is despised here for is stuff that the general public has to be swayed on.

Would you rather have Obama in your camp or Mittens?

I do not know the guy but I’ll pick Mitt.

Absolutely.

Christie crashed and burned, “JEB” hasn’t taken off and McLame is too old. So the RINO establishment - the guys who wacked McDaniels in Mississippi, have dusted off Romney and are trying HIM out - AGAIN!!!

NO DICE!!!
