He couldn’t beat a terror supporting Islamic radical in the last election so let’s run him again. Maybe this time Democrats will nominate an eggplant so we can have the first eggplant President. All the eggplant has to do it sit there and say nothing in the debates while Romney jabbers on about jobs although he’ll pronounce it as “jabs” and he’ll keep saying it over and over “jabs jabs jabs jabs jabs” until people are sick to death of him like last election and the eggplant will easily win.

What part of “we were played for SUCKERS that LAST TIME!” did YOU not “understand”? The Name Romney(like Bush, Ford, MacCain, Ryan) is DEAD to ME(and a lot of other FRs).

If we nominate Romney and they nominate Hillary, the door will be wide open for a firebreathing third-party populist agitator to waltz into the White House.

Yeah “the talk” is coming from Tokyo Rove and Willard himself.


that’s pretty much my take. Nobody I know is talking about it or, if they are, not in a positive way. And I’m in republican territory.

Maybe Hillary is talking about it.

Only the elites want him again. Sadly that’s who runs the party.

I’m going to get the disgusting but necessary task of voting for Grimes against McConnel. I look forward to it like a root canal. But like a root canal, sometimes the long term requires it.

Wouldn’t surprise me. After all, look at the RNC, which voted againt to keep Reince Priebus as chairman, despite the massive, embarrassing loss of 2012. Just like FoxNews kept Karl Rove and even upped his appearances after he made a total fool of himself on election night. It would be just like the GOP to run Romney again. After all, he’s so “electable,” right? That was the nonstop drumbeat from the party leaders.

The GOP is the only organization I know of that seems to “reward” poor performances and defeat. But when they have success, like in the cases of huge enthusiasm and momentum from cross-country tea party events (2010) to massive crowds for Palin (2008), they do everything they can to pour cold water on all that energy.

I never expressed any pro-Romney or anti-Romney-opponent ideas or concerns, so I'm not a concern troll. Take deep breaths until the paranoia passes.

We’re loosing airspeed, the wings are shaking, and the nose is dropping, but the Repulsican party “leaders” want us to pull back on the stick ‘cuz “that makes houses smaller”.

I’ll NOT vote for RINOmney. I like the guy, but I’m tired of liberal lite. Either it’s the real picture or I’ll await the sure to come civil war.

That would be funny, except that you are 100% correct.

If the Republicans run Romney again then I am done with them.
I will vote Libertarian and when the Democrats win I will just check out of caring about politics any more.

Excellent! I’m invoking Drill’s Law: “Picking Up Steam articles proliferate in inverse proportion to a candidate’s actual viability.”

Don't vote for border surrender and abortion - check out the Constitution Party instead.

Seriously, can anyone point to anything that Willard or Rove have actually said that would indicate that Romney is running?


I haven’t heard a peep about him running. A lot of speculation, though. Speculation doesn’t amount to a hill of beans and just gets people worked up.

If Romney says he will run then it’s time to get busy and put a stop to it.

Nobody remembers Tom Dewey or Harold Stassen, both were repeated candidates back in the 1940’s and 1950’s. Both were finally swept away by the advent of Dwight Eisenhower, of whom nobody even knew if he was a Republican or Democrat until the Republicans managed to pull him in, for the 1952 nomination season.

Still couldn’t find out if he was a Republican or Democrat, but he did have star appeal.

FYI...”eggplant” is frequently used as a slur for black people amongst the Tony Soprano crowd.

What if you went to a restaurant, read the menu, but every time you tried to order something you really want and need to keep body and soul together, they told you, “sorry, we’re out of that”?

That’s kind of the way it is nowadays for the conservative clientele of the Republican Party.

“Hello, welcome back to the Pachyderm-a-RINO Restaurant! I’m Mitt and I’ll be your server today.”

“Oh, hello again. Why don’t you give me some of this ‘Balance the Budget and Stop Deficit Spending Now’ stew, please. I’ve always wanted to try it.”

“Oh, that’s really good stuff, you bet...but....sorry, Chef Boehner says that if you want that you’re a big baby and just don’t understand how the kitchen works.”

“Oh my...well, okay, I guess...let’s see...hmmm...then give me some of that ‘Limited Government” salad...”

“Oh, the healthy dish that’s in all our ads...well.....no....sorry, that’s just too hard to make. The media critics would have a field day if we started cooking that up, and we’d lose our jobs, so no, you can’t have that either.”

“Wow. Hmmm...well...okey-dokey then...how about some of this ‘Provide Equal Protection For the Right to Life’ entre, with a side of ‘Defend Marriage’...”

“No, of course you can’t have that. Court order. What are you, a single-issue extremist?”

“Well, noooo...I like lots of things...uhmmm...do you have any ‘Secure the Borders’ succotash?”

“You are so heartless.”

“Oh, well, gee thanks. So, is there anything at all I can actually order in this joint?”

“Well, no, but you can pay the bill, leave a big tip, and tell everybody in town how great it is that you didn’t give your business to the Donkey Grill down the street - just like you always have!”
