Romney Begs Off

"After putting considerable thought into making another run for president, I've decided it is best to give other leaders in the party the opportunity to become our next nominee,"

Of GOP candidates who are less conservative than I prefer, he was at least a pretty good package of proven success in managing things and solving problems. His life is one of action, success, discipline, compassion and reasonableness. We could do at lot worse, as we have proven recently - a lot worse.

Sorry to hear that because I was sort of hoping that Ann Romney would have the good manners to butt out for the most part.

The choice the country made of Obama over him should stand.

People should think twice before making their vote skin-gender deep.

Unknown said...

He should be our president right now. That said, he recently came out and said that GruberCare can be fixed. That was it for me.

Thanks For doing the right thing, Romney. Now Bush needs to do the same.

I see absolutely no argument for Jeb Bush, other than Hillary would be worse. None. There will be no passion for that candidacy, and plenty of reasons not to care which one wins if he's the candidate.

The country needs some fresh. Obama was old ideas warmed over just enough to get a few constipating mouthfulls swallowed, and now with our systems plugged up, we need some real cleansing, vigorous, and stimulating freshness. Conservative/Libertarian ideas have never been tried nationally. Pockets of the country are experimenting. Even some leftist bastions are, and Texas is doing pretty damned well through the whole recession and lie-obscured stagnant "recovery".

Christy said...

I'm glad. While he is the best, he is unelectable.

Trooper York said...

The Mormons have been doing some weird stuff lately.

Maybe they got a new plate or something.

AllenS said...

I've been wondering about Hillary. I think she is laying low because something is wrong with her, and not because what her handlers say she's doing it for.

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

I assume he worked out some deal with Bush and that Ann wanted Mitt out of it.

I still say Bush is going to flounder in the primaries but the GOP establishment will be pulling every dirty trick to promote him. Cristie is too damn fat and too damn annoying.

Trooper York said...

The conservatives need to unite behind one candidate pretty quickly. The hope was that Bush and Romney would split the big money and the Rhinos. Now Jeb has a clear shot.

chickelit said...

Jeb Bush has a tough hoe to row from here on out. He's got a lot of convincing to do.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

I've never heard a Jeb Bush speech.

Maybe he should do an introduction tour... now, where have I head that before?

Shouting Thomas said...

Good for Romney. Why go through that shit again?

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

I cant see women voting for Christie.

Unknown said...

I'm convinced we don't need a Bush or a Clinton ever again.
I would hope this is a concept that can bring both the right and the left together. Kumbaya.

john said...

Probably got cold feet after Palin's speech.

Trooper York said...

Bush doesn't have to do much to get the establishment vote. All the party stooges who had a rice bowl when his brother was in. Is that enough if the conservatives split the vote.

Unknown said...

Bush will get the media vote. They want him.

The GOP needs a candidate who is willing to take on the hack Candy D-press.

Full on. Take it to them and never stop. No whining, but a constant vigilant bold unwavering uncompromising strength and punch-back attitude. No cowering. No falling into the media's never-ending gottcha trap.

Bush will get the easy treatment prior to the establishment~media nomination process involving fake polls. They know he is the candidate they want to face Hildebeast. It's all pre-determined, if they can help it. Once selected, the media will unleash against Bush. Game over. But I doubt the establishment GOP cares. I think they want Hillary too.

"The choice the country made of Obama over him should stand.

Lem, are you implying Obama's gender is, shall we say, iffy? If so you're right.


In response to AllenS, the word on Hillary is that she's laying low in case someone's got the goods on Bubba, regarding his participation in the Epstein pedophilia mess. If anyone comes forward with plausible evidence she's done.

ricpic said...

In other words: Hillary's people are looking into it.

AllenS said...

Bubba probably punched her in the mouth when she started to ask too many questions.

AllenS said...

Even if they do have the goods on BJ, she could separate from him and receive the women's sympathy vote.

She could say something like: "I'm not standing by my man baking cookies when he's out banging young girls."

Then she could proclaim that she's gay, and get that vote plus the transgenders.

And! That her new girlfriend in an illegal alien with only one leg, and the votes will keep multiplying.

I almost feel sorry for her my damned self. You go girl!

Methadras said...

I'm throwing my hat in for Scott Walker. I hope that dude runs. I really do.

Trooper York said...

What could be a game changer is if Romney throw his support and some of him money at one of the new more conservative candidates it would really shake it up. I could see him doing that for Walker, Kasich, Jindal or Rubio. Not for Cruz, Christie or Paul.

I think Rubio would be a real possibility. I mean it sticks a thumb in Bush's eye for Florida and he can name the job he would get up to and including VP. He could see himself as being the Dick Cheney of a Rubio administration.

Trooper York said...

As it stands I support Walker all the way.

AllenS said...

Anyone but Bush. I won't vote if Bush get the nomination.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

Lots of women on twitter are for Walker.

chickelit said...

Titus said...Palin-Carson.

Walker, Titus. Get with it.

Palin can become Secretary of Fab. That should drive P-Town bananas.

I'm Full of Soup said...

Well we dodged a collective bullet Gang- now we won't have to listen to crackpot Crack's Mormon conspiracy theories for the next two years.

I'm Full of Soup said...

AllenS:

There is nothing wrong with Hillary IMO. I think she has adopted Bill's tactic of not saying anything about anything until she hears everyone else's opinion and then she borrows [steals] the opinion that sounds best to her.

XRay said...

It should never have gotten this far, but, at least he stood up at the end, realizing the ignorance of the thought of it.

This is one particularly fucked up presidential election we face. I can't think of a worse one. Ah screw it, of course I can.

Calypso Facto said...

Romney: more sense than ego. Good man. Good riddance.

Chip Ahoy said...

Jeb Bush has a tough hoe to row from here on out. He's got a lot of convincing to do.

Stop it, yer killin' me.

I visualize a tough ho getting her hair plied tightly into rows.

*erase, erase, erase*

I visualize a tough ho being rowed across a lake.

*erase, erase, erase*

I visualize a squad of recruit hoes being barked into rows by a drill sergeant and there is one really tough hoe-recruit.

*erase, erase, erase*

I visualize a hoe-boxing manager discussing his new protogexxxx protojexxxxx protojayxxxx protágéXXXX new hoe-fighter that is tough.

Titus said...

I loved Palin's speech to 500 old fat people in Iowa.

It was totally Dado, performance art and completely incoherent.

I want more-it was amazing.

The part about some guy bending over and taking it was the icing on the cake.

I saw star bursts coming through the screen.

She's the rack and Todd is the gun-incred.

AllenS said...

The problem I have if Walker runs is that Wisconsin (where I live) will lose a good Governor. There is still work that needs to be done in this state. Walker is a fighter who knows what the problems are. Sorry America, but he is needed here.

Unknown said...

Titus wants to see Hillary in a grandma sex video. Right after she taxes his family fortune for the common good.

Lol. Such as the problem of too much employment. Romney was not afraid to tackle that one head-on.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Men far richer and more successful than Romney (Bill Gates, Elon Musk) are worried about artificial intelligence being turned against humanity. I'd not be at all surprised if Romney were the guy to usher in an age when robots become our masters. The guy probably has an efficiency algorithm for how to zip his fly.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Summary of a Romney Presidency:

Step 1. Replace White House lawn with astroturf.
Step 2. Introduce America to presidential robo-pet ordered from a Sharper Image catalog.
Step 3. Fire all White House staff (Chefs, groundskeepers, housekeeping). Allow extended family choice of serving as replacements. Consider a more long-term plan in spare time.
Step 4. Make a speech about how all non-rich Americans are lazy.
Step 5. Negotiate a trade deal that will outsource more American labor than ever before. Seek terms that will maximize domestic unemployment. American labor is not being sufficiently incentivized.
Step 6. Replace uncles, cousins and plural wives now serving as domestic staff with robots.
Step 7. Re-evaluate the progress transitioning to a robo-society. Watch videos of Animatrix for inspiration.
Step 8. Re-evaluate efficiency of personal chewing habits. Perhaps there is a way to reduce the angle of jaw motions and optimize food intake when eating? Too much time spent breaking up food in mouth.
Step 9. Meet with Ann to discuss rewrite of scripts for how to properly display spousal affection. Apparently current scripts are not receiving optimal public approval in market testing. Ideas forthcoming. Offer Ann botox.
Step 10. Re-assess current hair-dye pattern. Perfect diagonal angle allowing gray-white from everything underneath temple to ear now looks too predictable. Consult binders full of make-up artists on the matter.
Step 11. Allot 22.79 minutes this Saturday to standing around a grill cooking hot dogs for a photo opportunity. Remember to use 34% of that time in head-thrown-back, open-mouthed laughter with guests. Use Gleam toothpaste night before.
Step 12. Give a speech about American optimism and how our current outsourcing and layoffs are putting the country "back on track".
Step 13. Replace NYSE with small robotic devices. Step 14. Go to U.N. to file brief in support of the new country of robots petitioning for recognition in a small equatorial-latitude island. Pledge to provide all U.S. assistance for Robonia until all local sand has been melted into silicon and the landscape replaced by metallic super-structures.
Step 15. Hang a sign on White House re-christening it "Kolab 1". Petition NASA to redirect earth orbit to trajectory that is centered around Kolab.
Step 16. Ask White House physician and DOH to investigate ways of slowly replacing flesh with a conductive alloy. Encourage American people to follow this example.

Palin is avand gard, dato and i fucking love her speeches. All gays love her too. Her cum fuck me boots and blazers are hot. And we gays love someone who is incoherent-thats are calling card.

Bagoh-you have a 70's gay porn stach-so vintage.

Unknown said...

Obama's plan for America

1. 18 trillion dollar+ debt
2. Get media to lie about it

Titus said...

FYI-I don't like Hilary-she hasn't achieved anythingl And I never vote.

I wish the rest of you pubes would be more interesting and unexpected.

But you are predicable-obama and demos bad and pubes good.

I am a gay, like most gays, that make lots of money, and want to hear something different from pubes and tards.

Hey Titus, you think Palin has any Indian blood? American Indian, Hindu Indian, what's the diff and you're the expert.
