and the real plan, all along, was to appoint/elect him president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ...

Name recognition, alone, would be a big boom to the church as all his pronouncements would be carried far and wide by the MSM.

"You cared? I didn't. Suckers."

What a total lack of character and class. Despicable.






Plus, I don't believe a word of it.

In addition, I hope that for all of MittHole's supporters - ardent and lukewarm alike - this latest one *burns*.

This just makes his father look bad. Maybe the son is getting back at his father for naming him "Tagg".

donated their hard earned pennies to his campaign. Not that I care or have one bit of sympathy for them but so tacky and classless for them to come out with this bullshit now.

and has pumped tens of millions of his own dollars into the effort.

But no, he had no desire to be president.

WHOA, hold on, a pig just flew by my window!

Someone in another thread remarked, quite aptly, that Rmoney didn't want to campaign for the Presidency; he wanted it, and expected it, to be handed to him on a silver platter.

Hurricane Sandy gave Barack Obama a chance to look presidential, and the wet sloppy kiss that Chris Christie gave the President is going to doom his chances of winning the nomination for the rest of time.

Also, I've seen it reported that less than a third of a million votes in four swing states made the difference. Is it hard to believe that out of the many millions of people in those states that only a third of a million were fundies who just wouldn't pull the lever for the Mormon? I'll believe that's the case until someone shows me the undervote (voted a ballot, but no choice made for President) records of the rural and suburban counties in those states.

Was that forwarded to you by some sore-loser Republican? Cause it sure reads a lot like a freeper's lamentation. (Especially the jab at Christie.)
