you know, just like 99% of the "53%" that believe in him ...

Does anyone know how to send an email to Mitt? During the campaign there was a "contact us" button. Never got a reply, of course, even to polite, laudatory inquiries. At least I hope I irritated the staff a bit.

campaign that he just couldn't quite get done. In reality, it was nowhere near close. At the rate the R's are going, 2014 should put the nail in their coffin. Meanwhile, Mitt is trying to somehow stay relevant, so that he can continue the fantasy that plays in his head. He is still ruminating.

reminds me of Aesop's fable of the fox and the sour gapes .

The people said they did not want Willard to lead .........

Drop dead already.

ON edit: Doesn't he have reservations on some planet or other?? I think it's time for him and the quen to go live there. (intentional typo on "quen&quot .

and yes, you lost Mitt. Get a job Mitt, you lazy bum!

Go make an award winning documentary...

Oh, you have no talent but buying companies and laying people off.

Sorry, that job is already complete.

PTxS

imagine the fun he would have had with our Social Security funds...

Should one come available. And I believe it will. Two would be better.

and self centered jerk that has ever lived. Thinking he had the presidency cinched is a sign of how stupid he really is.

Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid.

I typed that five time because some people don't know what that word is/means like MR for example ... again.

that she simply cannot accept what happens during a political campaign, especially for President. Even during the campaign she came across like the media was only supposed to show the positive side. It's truly mind-boggling to believe anyone as wealthy as they are could be so naive and/or stupid!

To them, "We the People" is an exclusive statement, not inclusive.

queen anntoinette (horse's) mouth

He strikes me as the kind of guy who will do anything, go anywhere and say pretty much anything to pin more stars on his ego. But, once in the job he takes credit for the good and passes blame for the bad, no matter who is actually responsible. He and his wife take superficial to a whole new level.

It would have been another 4 or 8 years of Bush, with 'handlers' doing all the dirty work (Oh, and I'm sure it would have been dirty, indeed.)

Just hang back, act as the front man and let the PR guys and hatchet men go to work on the system.

others run to BE something."

I forget who said that, or if that's the exact quote, but Romney definitely strikes me as someone who wanted the title and the pomp, and has no real idea of what he'd do or where the country should go, other than wanting to help his entitled cohort.

perhaps he thinks that if he whines and bad-mouths enough, the country will demand that he be put in the White House Right Now.
And I am sure I would hate to see any deals he put together.
Hell, he couldn't even "lead" his campaign.

when we didn't elect this dickhead as our new CEO with Queen Ann by his side. There could have been a huge banner over the White House that read "America is Now REALLY Open For Business!" and Ann could have had dressage lessons on the South Lawn. The truth is, Mitt, that in a campaign marked by massive deceit and shameless pandering to Rethug knuckledraggers and racists, you never said anything more truthful than your infamous 47% comment. It wasn't the media that sunk you or the Obama campaign. It was your own arrogant, elitist rhetoric and that insufferable sense of entitlement that rich assholes like you carry around. Yeah, just what the country needed - a "vulture capitalist" in the Oval Office. After all of those jobs that you destroyed and all those people's lives you ruined to get obscenely rich at Bain Capital just how in the hell do you think you earned the right to be president? GFY.

.... you nailed it good. Well said!

And seriously, you "spoke too freely" about what you really think of us?

Meh. Somebody call a whaaaambulance.

Talk about a sore loser, man!

“It’s Mitt’s time. It’s our turn now.” A. Romney

They were supposed to be in the White House because it was God's will and even
though Mitt made his money screwing people out of their jobs, health care, and pensions
the American people, if they had any smarts at all, just had to vote to make Romney
President and Ann as 1st Queen of America because they were entitled to it.

the person is a smoker, from the sucking action. Or is that just because she has the pursed lips all the time?

but the bitter look on her face is from being a stuck up over privileged
bag of puss who sees people like you and me as less then herself and her
rich ass friends.

And I think after this "trotting out" the Romneys in public we will almost never
hear from them again. You can be sure the video of their interview w/Chris
Wallace will be highly edited but you just can't cover up their smugness.

chris wallace and the Romneys @ their New Hampshire lake home ....
unlikable, phony, lying, and highly edited ...... if you have 12 minutes
it is really funny .... watch the pancakes on the grill, then off grill, and then
back on the grill all in the same "conversation" .... later on Mitch says he
and wife have no help @ their lake home .... please as a landscaper I could
see that they have people there all the time.

BTW doesn't everybody put on a pressed shirt to make pancakes ....

drink some wine and watch the whole thing .... Pravada would have been
proud ... look at the "job wheel" just made and put up for the fox b.s. show.

BTW as a landscaper the planters out front of the house need daily care and I
doubt Ann was out there doing that.

They are so uncomfortable. The hole in the counter and A. thinks she is so very creative and original. Everything they do is for effect. I almost bailed at the pander of a sign the 'boys' gave them and is prominently displayed at the entrance. How pompous. And there's the feeling that the 'boys' (and anyone) are maneuvering around a bully of a father and a totally disconnected mother.

No coincidence there.

I bet she wakes up every morning and nags at him all day for losing the Presidency. She wanted to be Queen so badly, she could taste it and he lost it.. now her life is ruined.

After all it was God's will that Mitt should have been made POTUS and Ann would
have been made 1st Queen who the "important people of the world" would have watched
in awe as she brought style and class to the White House.

Although Romney/Ryan did make history in losing all 5 of what could be called their home states
New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Michigan, California, and Ryan's Wisconsin.

In the past and nowhere near as rich as the Romneys I have had customers (i landscape) who
remind me of Ann Romney because I could tell be the tone of their talk and how they carried
themselves that they really thought they were better then me.

Noblesse oblige is how Ann acts. I read somewhere that they did some test commercials with
Ann Romney that were shown to republican focus groups and that she tested so poorly that the
spots were never shown.

We really dodged a bullet in kicking Mitt to the curb.


sorry to

Long term Republicans, thought the Romney's were not good for America. Seriously, how they appeared on Television acting as though they were entitled to be running this country.

People had to know this was not... going.. to happen. We all watched the debates. Ryan lying though his teeth was a huge thing here on DU. We know that Joe kicked Ryan's butt in that debate. Everyone knew it, and even Republicans were mostly silent on that debate.

But I think, deep down, everyone knew..that Romney Ryan was a poor ticket. I know some of us, were afraid that we would lose this election by fraud, but as for substance, the President knew his stuff, despite the idiots who were going to vote for Romney because they were still clinging to the notion that the President didn't have a legitimate birth Certificate.

Donald Trump and Orly Tates certainly didn't help the Romney's cause.


I do know about that attitude of which you speak. I have seen it also first hand, when I was living in Santa Barbara, an area rich with very Rich Republicans. It was there, I first Joined DEAN FOR AMERICA, when he was actively running.

.... in which he was running unopposed should have been a tip off. I might be wrong but
I think the majority of Romney's vote in the fall's election was that those people just didn't
like "the black guy in the White House" rather then they were taken by Romney and his idea.
Romney won some very red states just because he wasn't Obama.

Racism is part of the equation, than yes I totally agree.

He's essentially been doing nothing with his life except run for President since 2007. When you spend six years on a project, and it crashes and burns, it takes a while to get over it.

On the "sore loser" point, yes, I agree with you. Generally, as a matter of courtesy, the loser doesn't jump in so quickly with snipes at his opponent's "leadership" or the like. Anne is even worse, blaming "Obama’s campaign for offering what she described as an unfairly skewed vision of her husband." What, did the Republicans offer a balanced view of Obama? It was a campaign, for cryin' out loud. I guess Anne isn't used to getting any backtalk from the peasants.

to return the favor, from Republicans who kept using "Sore- Loserman " (aka Gore Lieberman) to get our goat after we lost that election to Bush. Republicans were screaming " You Democrats lost, GET OVER IT" ..as they puffed up their chest with pride. Something so stupid, as we knew how it would affect this country, having Bush as the pResident of the United States. We were right, and things just became more and more of a mess.

I hated how they used that Juvenile way to poke at his, to remind us, that they had won, like as if it was some stupid game. It wasn't a game at all...lives were on the line.

The Republicans were full of "You lost, get over it" and "Elections have consequences" right up until the shoe was on the other foot.

as weird. It's like blaming the other team for winning, thus making ours lose.

He blamed himself and his campaign for his loss. He even took responsibility for the 47% comments. It is a shame that his wife couldn't do the same. What is the world coming to, a Republican took responsibility. Better mark this one down on your calender.

what he said.
And in what world would poor people not want health care? It seems he thinks that poor people should just feel the obligation to die.
His campaign represented him, and his wife, perfectly. That's why he didn't get elected.
Although I would not have voted GOP no matter who was running. And I am not a huge Obama fan.

but saying what you really believe has sunk many candidates chances. You have to watch what you say all time.

BELIEVES them. It wasn't a gaffe--he has contempt for half of America, and said so.

NOT for actually believing that

At least he admitted it. Yep Ann Romney pretty much just said It was the media blah blah blah media this media that blah to the frickety frackety blah.

People that destroy jobs should feel some pain at some point in their lives.

So many opportunities squandered by that inconvenient election thing.

the rich are keeping their tax cuts, Social Security is on the table, and what will we do if Netanyahoo goes ahead and attacks Iran.....
Mitt would have just done all that on day one.

This kind of whiney anti-American Republican loser caterwauling & complaining demonstrates once again the Republican proclivity to serve as Dingleberrys on America's butt.

one of his sons was telling us that Mitt didn't really want to be president.

[IMG][/IMG]

It's how they spit-take.

they are a family of liars

[IMG][/IMG]

He'd have given the GOPers everything they wanted - no problem.

You can go away again now, Mitt. There are damn good reasons we didn't elect your sorry ass, and if you can't figure them out, too bad. (Hint: They had nothing to do with the "liberal" media, which pretty much fluffed you for the whole campaign.) And take your entitled, snooty wife with you.

The would have ended Social Security and Medicare by now

he could backchannel offer advice like ex-presidents and ex-candidates have offered
OR he could run for a different office and be part of the system

he might not have his advice taken, but instead of whining he could attempt to prod
some of the people on his side to move an inch and offer alternatives

of course, that would mean actual work, and well, he didn't want to do the work,
he just wanted the title on his desk.

Makes me wonder if he is egotist enough to think he could run in 2016, or if he is a willing
Jeb Bush pusher and this part of the Bush's plan.

(and for someone who was supposed to be such a good (HA HA HA HA HA) Ceo, he sure ran such a lousy campaign. From his wrong VP pick to everything else.

Sometimes I wondered if rich guy didn't get paid to be so bad which makes me wonder
who is fronting him, or if he is ego enough to think he should go another round (much like
Nader did in 2004 after what happened in 2000).

I myself missed the shows as I am watching Leave it to beaver and Bachelor Father on Antenna TV.
Now if Mitt were to go on Al Sharpton, then perhaps I would see him.

If you want to talk about unfair skewing, how about the surgical extraction of a single sentence from a boilerplate "we're all in this together" speech and then claiming Obama was saying that business owners didn't really build their businesses, the government did?

And then, instead of simply using it on the stump for a few days as often happens with gaffes and awkward bits, your dear husband turned it into one of his major campaign themes. Somewhere off in communist non-heaven, old Pravda editors and Soviet propagandists raised their spectral vodka bottles in salute!

Furthermore, surely you haven't forgotten that clown-car parade of the Republican primaries, where the one common theme was "anybody but Mitt"? He had that much resistance within his own party, yet you'd still convinced yourself he was a shoe-in for the general election?

Let's not forget, as you apparently have, Ann, the business about only releasing two years of tax forms, and incomplete forms at that. This was an especially important item for Mitt symbolically, because it was his own father who established the tradition, and he released 12 years while directly saying that many years' worth were necessary to provide a true picture because only a year or two could be engineered to look good on the surface. Once it became clear Mitt would drop out rather than release more than he had, it sure looked like he was hiding something. Considering that he'd been angling for a presidential run for over six years, what did it say about him that he didn't use that time to make things presentable?

Go ahead, Mitt, show some leadership yourself: go to the Republican leadership in congress and start knocking heads on your own. Surely the most recent presidential candidate has some standing in the party. Or do you concede that you're washed up because you didn't deliver the Democratic president's head on a plate, the same reason Newt lost his House speakership? That your only standing now is as a fundraising prop among a few well-off constituencies?

It's a measure of how much really has been handed to you two that you still can't absorb that you lost fair and square, even in the face of naked vote-suppression tactics by your party.

You two built your own doghouse, politically. Live in it. Trust me, it won't actually kill you, and the nation is better off for it.

Does he mean he was trying????????
Oh yes ..he went in brownface on UniTV

...it does tend to fail to attract hem.

...who really did run a lousy campaign, and we couldn't recognize nor admit how many of our political calculations were off, sometimes way off. The president was a better politician who ran a better campaign, so we lost."

Fucking entitled ass.

just wasn't enough and you not president now nor will you ever be.

sure have a way with words....

didn't win, Stench lost.

Hell, screw Refalca, too

for his cremation?

What an arrogant POS.

that he already created an exploratory committee for another run........for him primarily, but also for his sons. We'll never be rid of this arrogant family.

YOU are the problem.

YOU and those like you are the reason we're in this mess.

YOU and your companies have shipped lots of American jobs overseas.

YOU and your companies have put many successful businesses out of business, stripping their assets, laying off their employees, and pocketing the proceeds from your dirty deeds.

YOU couldn't possibly imagine what it's like to get by in America today--the deck is stacked against EVERYONE except the wealthiest.

America doesn't need your kind of "leadership" Mitt. We've had too much of that already, and that's the problem.

Mitt.

That wasn't going to be "knock the (RIGHT) heads together" - that is, NOT the ones who did this to us in the first place. Bain Capital says there's $900 Trillion in global financial assets out there "chasing investments in a real economy worth only $90 trillion in gross domestic product", there is NO way that Romney was really going to mess with a house of cards one or more of which has his own name on it.

I find this funny for some reason. RMoney has become so obsolete, so quickly.

Nobody is stopping him from solving our crisis right this very moment ....

Problem is - He has no solutions ... Only tired bromides cast about by right wingers since John Birch .....

His 'solutions' ARE the problem to begin with ....

First, if the Republican'ts had solutions to problems why did they wait and
keep the solutions secret until the elections - Why not fix the country now?

Same here - If Mittens has solutions - spit it out!

Problem is that he has no solutions and he isn't saying either.

Then, add on the Lyin' Ryan quotient and you would have more
money being GIVEN to the wealthy so that the recovery would be even slower!

It's about as exciting as listening to Chaney mouth off and complain about whatever...

The only good side is that we never hear from Shrub anymore - That's a plus!

is laying low to give Jeb a chance to "restore" the family's reputation so he can run in 16

I mean, the only other logical options are Scott Walker or Ryan

As long as the Repukes are going to continue with their party platform
(i.e., anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-hispanic, anti-99%, anti-union and pro-religion),
it doesn't really make any difference who they run!

The only plus is that most of them are old. Actually it makes no difference how much dirt you have in a bearing - it's still going to get worn down and fail at some point!

op ed pages, GOP congressmen and the like to air his ideas. He could run for Senator in home state #2, or there's an opening for governor there coming up in 2014. Or he could take a cue from Jimmy Carter and go out and do some good for mankind in general.

I think his biggest disappointment was that he saw the presidency as a stepping stone to something even bigger in his world, a spot on the really high-up Mormon councils, and now it's going to be a lot harder for him.

Mitt is just a whiny, pathetic narcissistic asshole who cares nothing about anybody but himself. And so is his wife.

and if you entrust me with the controls, I promise to prove what a big problem it can be."

Is that what got you NOT elected??? Mitt, the nation knocked two heads together, yours and Ryan's. and we dumped you in a ditch. Stay there, you idiot.

won't release his tax records, has contempt for half the electorate, cheats at three-legged races, makes money by bankrupting corporate pension plans, dodged the draft, wanted to start wars ...

I'm disgusted he came so close.

About your loss Mitt

why isn't he? He doesn't need to be President to stick his nose into the nations business...it's an open, free country, help all you want Romney...

You lost.

kill yourself already! The World will be so much better off after that.

better you than us...
