Mitt NOT RUNNING !

[davsel]

And a great sigh was heard across the land.

After a three-week flirtation with another run for president, Mitt Romney said definitively on Friday that he will not seek the White House in 2016.

Now if we could just get Jeb to go away, we might be able to get someplace

Jeb, Huck, Crispy Creme, and a dozen others need to go away.

good point, but I don't think Huck and Crispy Creme have the juice to get the nod even against others that are in teh relatively lower name recognition segments. Huckabee maybe, but I honestly can't see Christy get it simply because he's obease, as shallow as that sounds, it's the truth (which says a lot about how truly screwed we are these days)

Another one bites the dust.

$20 says it will be Clinton vs Bush for 2016 - and another $20 says Clinton will "win."

I'm planning on it. Get ready for another panic on firearms. :(

Yes! I heard that and was glad. Now, if we can just get Jeb to drop out, we can start finding a qualified person to be president.

Unfortunately, anyone that's qualified to be president isn't capable of getting nominated or elected. The right person for the job would have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the Oval Office.

Jeb, Huck, Crispy Creme, and a dozen others need to go away.

Agreed.


Side note: I would rather have Romney than any of the others listed above. He is a charismatic and successful business man. If any one of those knuckleheads could fix the economic problems we've created, I would bet on Romney.

If Chrispy or Jeb gets elected, I really might just move to a remote region of Canada (which is most of Canada, btw) and start a daily routine of praying and prepping for the end.

"Get ready for it" indeed. If you know the ship is going to sink, the flotation device business is a good business to be in.

Ideally, yes.

[roberth]

Good, except that Mitt would be a far better business manager than that krispy or Jeb.

Personally, I was very disappointed in this news. I think America missed a great opportunity when Romney wasn't elected in 2012. We haven't seen anyone with his level of character and personal integrity run for office possibly in my lifetime. Many of you may regret the fact that he dropped out.

I liked Mittens personally, and was a bit disheartened to see the news as well.

Now I'll likely be chastised for being a bible thumper and intolerant of gays etc (I'm none of the above), for having a favorable opinion of Romney.

[crays]

My 2 cents.
God Bless him for trying too hard. National politics requires a certain amount of dumbing down, and he didn't do it. Comments acceptable in lower level races will bite you in the ass on a national level.
Had to have been better than our current elected official, imho.

[bobbyfairbanks]

There is nothing wrong with thinking that way. POTUS needs to look presentable in front of the world and having an obese man as your leader does not look good. Not to mention what it says about his personnel character. These guys and gals want the lime lite so they must deal with there flaws.

Reminds me of Hitchhiker's Guide...

Well, I'm president, I don't have a lot of time for reading.

Some parts of my character weren't what you'd call presidential.

Oh, yeah, apparently you can't be president with a whole brain.

To summarize: it is a well known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem. - Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy

I think anyone we are talking about is far better than what the Dems are trying to hoist on us. Like you I want someone that does not want to get along. I want someone who is a fighter and not afraid to punch back. I want Cruz. I think he is sitting back to let the heard thin themselves at this point.

But Mittens was the "best chance to beat Obama" along with McCain.



When will "conservatives" wake up???

[sniper7]

Well im just glad Obama will be gone. At least we got that going for us. Hopefully a Reagan-like candidate emerges.

[roberth]

yes, its about time we had another national gun control act pass and millions of illegals given amnesty. just what the country needs.

People forget those things.
