Romney to run in 2016

[ViperJock]

Rand is not as good as his dad but probably stands a better chance id I might even vote for him as long as he appoints his dad to head the Federal Reserve LOL.

I voted for Ron so that's where I'm starting from. But Ron had two toes in crazy and one foot in his mouth at any given time. Rand would make a much better president.

Reading things that aren't there, jamil? "no-one wants him around" is painfully obvious to anyone who can do basic math and paid even a modicum of attention last go around. Almost every republican I know had to hold their nose to vote for the turd and most of them only voted for him because they didn't want Obama. But, shoot. Go run [STRIKE]Mr. Stevenson[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]Obamney[/STRIKE] Romney, again. I ain't looking forward to seeing Hillary in the Oval Orifice but another run by this turd will certainly insure her win.

Hey, I'm not saying he should run. I just doubt that a libertarian progressive would hang around enough variety of republicans to make a fair demographic representation of all Republicans. You did say "no-one".

It's hard to believe this is the same person who once said that Jon Huntsman is "sane and reasonable," isn't it, Jam? Now _there's_ a turd who would most certainly guarantee the victory of any Democrat, down to and including Jimmy Carter.

(Although..."Crony Jon Huntsman" would probably get about, oh, a zillion percent more electoral votes than Gary Johnson).

Name one way Ron Paul was crazy and put his foot in his mouth (either or)

I hope Romney runs. I think he'd make a great president. Flame on, I'll support him from the get-go, for lots of reasons, starting with his understanding of business and the need for deregulation. I think he'd be similar in many ways to Reagan, in terms of economic policies. We've got to crank this economy up. It is ready to grow, with a shot of confidence and some moves to unleash it. I think our country would be in better shape in every way, had he won in 2012.

Romney would not have fixed one thing his budget proposals where as bad as obamas and leaving the FED will ensure this economy stays the way it is. I hope u do not dislike obama since him and romney had the same policy's when running. With only small talking points to separate the two. Also mitts understanding of business is only how to buy one and dismantle it for a profit not how to start a business and grow it. He was a pirate LOL

Romney lost because almost 4 million evangelical ********** stayed home. Nothing has changed and they will stay home again if he runs.

Go to about 11:30 in the Sept 7th interview with Chris Wallace. "I'm not running, I'm not planning on running."

And yeah Expat, he lost because conservative voters stayed home...regardless of their religious affiliation. He's not a conservative, he never was, the last thing we need is another big government president.

In fact it may be the last thing our Republic gets...

Well, he would have grabbed the stick and leveled the aircraft off. But we need more altitude, not just less decent. But yeah, we'd have been better off...that's hardly a high bar to clear though.

An electable Republican in Massachusetts is just a Democrat by another name.
Whether Romney's a "nice guy" or not makes no difference.

I've had it with the Republican elite forcing left wing idiots on us, then telling us we need to vote for them because our left wing idiot isn't quite as big a left wing idiot as the Democrat's left wing idiot.

Then we're supposed to just accept this and "wait til the next election".
The next election comes and the Republican elite play the same game, the cycle repeats, as the party shifts further left.

Until enough people stand up to this and get off the train, it will NEVER stop.

No thanks.

The people those 4 million would have voted for wouldn't have won, either, and probably would have been further behind.

I'm supporting him, if he runs, and I'll vote in both the primary and general elections.

...The people those 4 million would have voted for wouldn't have won, either, and probably would have been further behind....

You mean, like Rick Perry? Lol...(I still wonder if he's figured out what parts of the government he wants to get rid of).

 

[Dosproduction]

Yeah and I will skate board over you with spiked yellow hair and a butterfinger. I will campaign against mitt like I did last time I also campaigned against obama as well. If u like mitts policys then u are not a republican u r a RINO. Mitt is obama jr. He created obama care. He is pro choice. He is anti 4th amendment, anti 2nd amendment, and for Peoples united.

A REMINDER OF ROMNEY'S RECORD ON THE ISSUES.
This is what an electable Republican in the NE is.

Regardless of what he SAYS, this is what he DID when in power.

He's not our friend, especially on the gun control issue.

He won't touch gun control with a 10' pole if he were to win the white house, just as he won't when running for it. He said that many times in the last campaign. If you think he would, then you don't understand presidential politics and the influence of the base. The Republican party as a whole has moved well to the right of even Reagan on the 2A. He won't be pro-abortion, either. I believe he would choose conservative Supreme Court justices, given the opportunity. He'd have no choice, again, because of the influence of the base. The base would push him further right, just as the liberal base pushes Dems to the left.

I figured someone with the balls to say what I did would light some of you guys up. You sound like liberals with your name calling and labeling. There isn't a candidate out there who I'd agree with on every issue, Romney included. If you have a candidate who you agree with 100%, then you would look like an ideologue.

Say what you will, I think Romney would help lead an economic recovery of Reganesque proportions. I believe we as a country, we still have it in us. Corporations and investors have lots of capital that they won't spend until they feel optimism and expect growth. When they do, they'll invest and get it rolling. We just need business friendly leadership, and he's got a business track record of turning things around. If you don't like it, I respect that. I wouldn't recommend foaming at the mouth over it, though. I'm just one vote. I'll guarantee this: I sure as hell won't vote for anyone the Dems throw out there.

I also have a Democrat uncle in MA who is a judge. He loathes Romney because he thinks he was radically right wing. Interesting perspective some have in MA.

What a joke.


If only there was a man like Jefferson on the horizon.

Most all of them?

 

[Thor]

Also, back to my previous posts...according to his words HE'S NOT RUNNING.

Oh goody, can we yet again have that exact conversation? I don't think we had our fill of epic conflation in the many, many, many "**** sandwich" threads we've had over the years on INGO.

No thanks.

You're right. In it's current state the Republican party is incapable of producing the kind of candidate that can win in a party with so many factions. They need someone who is the incarnation of an oxymoron. Rand Paul seems to be doing the best job of oxymoron, but eventually someone will slap a "Kick me, imma flip-flopper" sticker on his back and then everyone will laugh as the kicking commences.

If Romney won the Republican nomination, I'd be disappointed, though I would vote for him. But he would surely lose in the general election again, with an even lesser turnout of conservatives.

But in a way I'd like the Republicans to nominate THE MOST CONSERVATIVE candidate in the running. Then when the moderates stay home and that conservative candidate looses his ass, then maybe we can all finally take an objective look at reality.

You mean, like Rick Perry? Lol...(I still wonder if he's figured out what parts of the government he wants to get rid of).

Actually, I think they'd rather back Rick Santorum. He knows the speak.

I figured someone with the balls to say what I did would light some of you guys up. You sound like liberals with your name calling and labeling. There isn't a candidate out there who I'd agree with on every issue, Romney included. If you have a candidate who you agree with 100%, then you would look like an ideologue.

First, not everyone who opposes candidates like Romney are liberals, so it does not seem reasonable to say dissenters sound like liberals. They sound like people who don't like the candidate you like. It's politics. Snark has no exclusive political party.

My thoughts on Romney:

I think he wouldn't be any worse a POTUS than we've had in the past 25 years. That's not a great selling point. But he does have many attributes that suit a great leader. He is an overachiever whose accomplishments starkly contrast Obama's lack of meaningful achievement.

On gun control, I don't think it's that high on his list of things to do. I think he's generally ambivalent about them. If there were another high profile national incident he would probably move in the direction of his advisers.

On the fiscal matters he might trim a bit here and there. But it would probably be more like Obama's promise of a scalpel rather than a machete, even though we need the machete. Maybe we'd have the Reaganesque recovery, but it would probably be at the expense of furthering crony capitalism.

Judges, well at least he won't be appointing a Kagan or Sotomayer, though another John Roberts would be more likely.

His deeds scream otherwise.
