With every syllable of his speech at this year's CPAC convention, Republican Mitt Romney proves why he was totally unfit to be the next U.S. president. He was speaking to the far right fringes so it's no surprise he'd be spewing red meat at them, but he really outdid himself with this one.
Romney says that if he stays in the race he will only be making it easier for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to win -- and since they both want to retreat from fighting terrorists, he cannot be a part of helping them win the White House so he's dropping out. Sorry Mitt, America isn't buying it anymore. Your party has made us less safe and the Republican Party is no longer seen as the strong party when it comes to national security or the military. So again, I say so long, Mittens. You never stood a chance, don't let the door hit ya' on the way out...
Romney: ''If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror."
*Update - Let's take a look at some of Mittens' greatest hits!

So, up to this point, Mitt has been a terrorist enabler.
And, if Mitt had done a teeny, tiny bit better, he'd still be a terrorist enabler.
I don't usually post but Romney is a scumbag. I'm from Massachusetts and the sonner he moves back to Utah, the better.
Goodbye to a privileged, pandering, pissant.
Mitt Romney- the heroic quitter.
For his next act, he will heroically not wash the dishes and make his wife do it just so Al Qaeda won't get the last laugh.
Were we to be as valiant as Mitt....
See I don't think the Republicans even want to win this year. How can they expect to get new votes by saying that half the country want to "surrender to terror"?
He can't even be honest in defeat. What a piece of crap he is.
A clueless imbecile till the end, huh, Mittens.
Beelzebud @ 6:
The republicans can't even admit that 70% of the nation wants OUT of the war.
BTW, I will accept the nomination for VP - Mitt da fookin' Patriot
Mitt done quit cuz mitt's unfit!
How do morons like this end up with so much money and power??
Cheers.
what a weirdo
I just cant imagine why he was widely perceived as dishonest and unconvincing.
Talk about sour grapes, what a dick.
Does that mean his 5 sons can now join the fight via the miliary (or maybe even himself since he has nothing to do).
soothsayer @ 11:
"If the Mitt don't fit, you got to quit!"......or something like that.
*sticks middle finger up to Romney* Surrender to this, you warm mongering jerk.
Frankly, I don't care if the door gives him a big ol' a$$ bruisin' on the way out!
Total bs, he quit because he could not win.
I Am A Banana @ 18:
"Warm mongering jerk."
So you kind of like him in a hateful way?
That's what I said in a previous thread. He makes it sound like he is sacrificing his campaign to keep the democrats from waving a white flag to the terrorist. I called bs on that.
He is dropping out because he is tired of throwing good money after bad. That's not patriotic, that's just good business sense. Trying to cover that decision by kissing john mccain's ass, doesn't cut it.
I look at what's left for the republicans to vote for and I almost feel sorry for them. I think Mitt was most likely the most sane one in their race. Sure he would say and do anything to get elected, but at least he didn't come off as a joke in the sanity dept.
Now we must find something with which to destroy Huckabee...
Perhaps a Pigfucker Rumor (so named for the rumor Lyndon Johnson suggested be floated about one of his rivals; when an aide said it wasn't true, LBJ reputedly said, "I don't care - but make the SOB deny it!") suggesting that one of his suppressed sermons advocates the violent overthrow of the government, or the lynching of African-Americans ...
Hmm ....
Anyone have one of those Sore Loserman signs left over from 2000?
You warm, mongering, jerky, lovable cuddle dud!
I must cut and run to prevent others from cutting and running.

Well, that's typical talk, coming from a baby-eater.
Because, as you know, Republicans are baby-eaters.
There is no doubt that Republicans are baby-eaters.
We know for a fact that Republicans are baby-eaters.
I have in my hand a list of 32 -- no, 78 -- no, make it 205 -- Republicans known to be or have been baby-eaters.
Is it true? Who can say? But now the topic has been raised, and it is up to every Republican to specifically and publicly distance themselves from baby-eating.
Because otherwise... the question will still be there...
Real classy way to exit the race, now disappear into obscurity you fool.
I suppose it got too expensive paying for his folly with his own cash
Mitty, that is so 2004.
I would also suggest you not show your face around Cambridge after that.
Surrender to terror, my ass. I'm going to hound this guy with "You're a loser" letters for the rest of his life. We surrendered to terror when we allowed George W. Braindead to ignore a hundred warnings before 9-11. Mitt Romney, Freak of the Century.
Unreal. So I guess all us evil Democrats are agents of enabling terrorists. Is this what the Repubs come to? I never thought they could sink any lower. But they always prove me wrong. Could it be that Romney looked at the thought the Repubs are a dying breed? What about the thought that over 16 million Democrats in California verses 8 million Repubs voting in the primary? That besides Iraq, the economy is the number 1 priority? Well I guess it is up to McCain to save us! Yeah, right!
redx @ 16:
YEAH MITT! Sign your boys up for the war on terror!
so, when's coulter appear on the stump for hillary?
What spooked him into this selfless act? The Arabic skywriting that said, "Surrender
DorothyDemocrat"?We have our differences but I want to thank GOP voters for sparing the country of Romney and Giuliani. There's a long way to go but it's a good start.
So what will Rush and company do now? Prepare yourself for the flip flop of all flip flops when they get new marching orders from the money boys.
One by one they will hop on the McCain bandwagon.
So whom is he now supporting? He has bad-mouthed everybody
So he's admitting he's not electable.... OK... that just pissed on all the people that supported him.
He created a straw man and then used that straw man to justify his loser-ship.
McCain is using the same straw man when he says the dems will surrender to terrorist. They know it's bullshit but their base laps it up like a thirsty dog.
"Happy trails to you, until we meet again.......NOT"
"Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then......NOT"
thanks...for nothing,
U.S (Uncle Sam) America
Oh well, he doesnt really care. As a mormon he gets to be a god, with his own universe eventually. What does he care about one little country?
Ha Ha a very funny man, I am sure his supporters did not like that speech! He admits he is not good enough after he does not get enough delegates!
Dale @ 21:
hahah, I was typing so friggin' fast. WAR mongering.
The nation may well be ready for an African-american president, or a female president. It is just not ready to elect an android.

strikesI have a feeling that after McCain gives his speech before that conservative group, the tide will be turned for him. They'll all say they support him due to the speech, no matter what McCain says. The speech will be the excuse to change their minds about him.
Romney's magic underwear fails to deliver.
Does this mean they won't be doubling the size of Guantanamo? What a loss.
I love the sound of douchebags gasping after being punched in the stomach-in the morning. good riddance you lame hack.
Let me get this straight. Ronmey surrenders(gives up) to protect the country from us surrendering Democrats. Now that is some fucked up logic. He runs away like a bitch and blames the party that the majority of Americans are clearly turning to of "Surrendering To Terror". Who listens and believes this shit?
Wow - what a self-aggrandizing a**hole! Does he not understand we've had enough home-grown terror? This is what some were advocating as our next President? Someone who speaks out loud that a Democratic vote for our next President would be a surrender to terror???
Incredibly divisive at a time when unity ought to damn well prevail. The Repugs have spun themselves totally out of control...
Brave brave brave brave Sir Romney! Yes, he bravely tucked his tail and ran...
DennisQ @ 48:
I guess the Halliburton contractors are pretty bummed out right now. I'm sure they were looking forward to that building contract.
I just read at the Consevative Convention the members were crying aand yelling "No!" I guess their savior let them down. They should really pick better role models. Poor Baye Buchanan was all misty eyed. Weirdos, all of them.
"...And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror.”
So.... that means his campaign was aiding "a surrender to terror" before this?
Sadly, the shrinking reich-wing minority still believes in this type of baseless rhetoric.
So that's what all his money bought him -- an opportunity to take the world's most expensive cheap shot?
Too funny.
Maybe Mitt will go fight terrerists with his sons
How utterly . . . weird.
If he was, as I am hearing now, the "true conservative" why was McCain beating him? Could it be that most of the country could give a shit about who is the true conservative? Could it be that the true conservative people are irrelevant to most of us? Maybe the majority of the country is more concerned about the good of the country rather than a contest to see who is more anal.
In conformity with his past behavior, Mitt'll change his mind and re-enter the race on Monday.
Nice return on his investment. $40 million to not be a "surrender monkey." Buh bye Mittens, ya loser.
soothsayer @ 61:
... as a Green Party candidate.

As a democrat?
GSD @ 26:
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
Guffaw!
What will stop Romney from surrendering to stupidity?
What a noble gesture! (gag)
Unfortunately, I now see a scenario for the Dems to lose.
McCain can now relax and 1] raise money 2] have time to court at least the unradical Repub righties 3] get the help of criminals like Rove and other cheaters to rig the next election 4] have time to unify the party and 5] further "expose" the Dems as dangerous cowards.
The Dems meanwhile are 1] spending their $ fighting each other and 2] dividing African Americans, and women 3] having to "expose" themselves and ideas to Repub ridicule for a lot longer 4] running the risk of boring/exhausting Americans for ? more months.
What I thought would be a sure win against the the worst administration in history now has me very worried.
I hope Huckabee stays in the race long enough to show just how loony the GOP is. McCain's going to have to deal with the party that Rove built, and as long as the Huckster's in the race it will highlight just how much of the GOP's power was based on pandering to the religious zealots.
So I guess he's saying that if he stayed in the race the dems would have won? I'm not sure I follow his seriously flawed logic. If he had stayed in, won the nomination of his party, he would have been such a bad candidate that the dems could not lose. If he knew that, why in the hell was he running in the first place?
His "looks" could only get him so far, sooner or later the real ugly comes out.
soothsayer @ 61:
dah!! haha
Mitt Quit because da NEW BOSS in NaCl Lake tol' him to, dass why!
A cheap shot, a really cheap shot.
That's right Logan we ain't buying his bs, never had, never will. He act as if this backward bs is a good excuse.
What a complete boob. Loser.
Well mutton, since your strapping sons aren't helping you on your
campaignroad trip, maybe now they can enlist.magic draws chickenhawk what's your excuse now?
repugs are full of fresh shit
I am so happy to hear the news that Romney has dropped out of the race. ("Suspending his campaign" is too nice a phrase - I wish that the media would just tell the damn truth.) Voters are now no longer at risk of electing this horrible, horrible man to lead our country. In my mind, he was third after Rudy G. and Huckaberry as being the worst possible choice for our nation's leader.
But I see that he couldn't help himself but to slam the 50%+ of voters who are Democrats and at the same time rachet up the fear level in the GOP base. I honestly think that these people would vote for Osama bin Laden himself before they could bring themselves to vote for a Democratic candidate. One gets the sense that they would rather destroy America altogether rather than cede power to a Democratic administration. Romney's whining surrender to John McCain helps reveal the true heart and soul of the "conservative" movement: FEAR, FEAR, and MORE FEAR.
Republicans/Conservatives are scared to death of everything. Scared of progress. Scared of social change. Incapacitated and overwhelmed by terrorists. Scared to death of the future. Terrified of non-white people. Suspicious of non-Christian people. Scared. Terrified. Scared. One wonders how they can keep from crapping all over themselves every time they leave their driveway. Their mantra is "BE AFRAID!"
Romney can take his candidacy and shove it up his backside! Move yourself and your looney family back to Utah and give us all a break, eh?
Where did these assholes get the idea that questioning my patriotism is just fine and dandy? After they've outed our spies for political gain and tanked the economy for a tax-cut they don't need and a war that was optional? That's what we'd classically call 'chutzpah'.
Don't let the door hit you in the ass, loser.
IH @ 69:
Too bad the GOP convention won't be held outdoors. All those cute red, white and blue propeller caps spinning in unison in the wind would be quite a charming visual.
Please some body help me. I have read his statement about ten times and become more confused each time I read it...I don't understand why if he stays in the race he will enable the terrorists. And because he is dropping out he will get rid of the terrorist.
If this is true, why didn't he lock his ass up in Gitmo long before this and save American lives. But to tell you the truth I still don't get it.
Mitt Romney: Political Whore.
Good-bye to bad rubbish. What an utter douche.
pissed off patricia @ 60:
Patricia, look at what the real message is. 2 weeks ago, Rush and Ann started saying that McCain is too liberal. Now a bunch of others are jumping on ship. The real message is that they think McCain will take away independant voters away from the democrats. They are trying to soften his image. Today, Romney got his message to drop out from the right wing establishment. He's only following orders. I know that you are very smart and will spread this message. Don't believe anything the right wing establishment says. They are the party of misinformation.
Does Mitty get to write off his $40 million? Good BUSINESS move--no?
If anything illustrates how easily a person can hoodwink the repug populace, it's Romney. The guy says something different about every issue every other minute, sells himself as the opposite of what he is - openly and unabashedly - and wields disingenuousness as his sword. Despite this reality, he's the conservative's conservative.
Man I try to put myself into their heads to try to understand where the hell they're coming from...and I can't. I don't get it. I don't understand how it's POSSIBLE to get it. Adults drifting in the mental vacuum.
Rainbowdonkey @ 3:
Please, don't send this plastic-fantastic used car salesman back here. We have more than enough phony-ass white, male, mormon republicans here as it is, thank you.
It will be interesting to see how the mormons here, who voted overwhelmingly for Romney last Tuesday, will view their beloved republican party now that they've dissed the mitten.
Maybe there is a god after all.
Ron @ 81:
I like the part where you say, "I know that you are very smart..." After that, I got all confused. :)
Let's see we are now have Left, LEfty, Lefter, Leftness and Ron Paul, yep, country is going to hell in a hand basket....
Come on now Mitt's not that bad a guy..oh hang on yes he is I was thinking of somebody else.
later in his speech, romney also puts party before country when he says he's doing it for the good of his party, and then for the good of his country. as if we needed to hear yet again that republicans are not americans, they are republicans first, last and otherwise, and then, and only then, americans. as for the democrats surrendering to terror - if you and mccain and the others, and let's not forget the leaders of the coup of 2000 who still sit in the white house and congress - if you truly believe this, i wonder why we have not seen a massive round-up of democrats on charges of treason. i want obama and hillary to speak to america about this "surrender to terror" crap. i want them to carefully delineate the difference between democrats as americans and republicans as ????? let's take the flag and patriotism back from those charlatans on the right.
Stick a fork in him...he is sooooo done! He drops some assinine one-liner before a receptive audience forgetting that Ann Coulter wasn't even invited back this year for opening her insipid trap last time. What colossal stupidity.
And again we see that success in running companies doesn't correlate with getting votes. I know this because Ross Perot has the pie chart to prove it.
What a piece.
chris @ 86:
*sigh* i miss hitler, too....
And now the media is trying to portray him as the next Ronald Reagan by comparing what happened to RR in 76 to what happen to Willard. NOT even close! The evangelicals of the GOP will NEVER vote for a mormon. Without them, he'll never get anywhere!
pissed off patricia @ 60:
Ooh! So close PoP: contard morality = moranal
Also, 'true' and 'conservative' are mutually exclusive terms, thus their confusion.
Could it be that the true conservative people are irrelevant to most of us?
Irrelevant and illiterate.
Or who wins American Idle(sic), unfortunately. (ok, but I just watch AI to stay culturally literate - I don't vote on it.)
There was something so strange about the way he looked and acted today when he got to this part of his speech. You would have thought he was about to give his life for the cause or something. Eerie and strange.
pissed off patricia @ 85:
You shouldn't be confused but, their method is to confuse the republicans and the independants who are moving towards the democratic side.
What a jackass. He's a total bastard to the core isn't he.
I guess he's just bitter because he wasted millions of his own money thinking he could buy his way into office hoping, ike a true Republican. to get a return on his investment by fleecing the taxpayer from the Oval Office like the current occupant(s) have done. Oh well, Cheney's made millions by lying America into a war that has killed thousands of innocent people then steering no bid government contracts at taxpayer expense to Halliburton therefore seeing his stock increase by over 3000% but Mittens won't have that opportunity.
Farewell you sleazy, slimy Republican piece of fllth. Don't let the door hit you in the ass!
Now he can join OJ in the search for the real killer.
Well, now that his sons no longer have to "serve America" by helping him get elected, they can call volunteer for Iraq. Right?
pissed off patricia @ 94:
no teasing!!!!
smarmy (adj.) - See Romney, Willard Mitt
The terrorists are not over there mitt, they are here going to work everyday (with the exception of george-he takes a lot of time off from terrorists activities to stratergize in Texas), in our government, and unfortunately mitt you won't get to be one of them ever, you do a fine job of spreading bullshit fear without even holding office. Just think of all the lives you have put at risk with your great business acumen, I am talking about all those laid off so you could pocket even more money. I love ya buddy now crawl back in that well appointed rat hole you came from.
Mitt's going to take this time now to embark on a trip to China to study the Pander Bears, although some would argue he's already got that technique down to a science.
One of the least sincere people I've ever heard speak, I'm still amazed he had the support he did. Which, it turns out was not much, but even so...
GSD @ 26:
Heh.
As Mitt Romney disappears from the scene, it is worth looking back on the words of this flip-flop artist, rooftop canine waterboarding enthusiast, Reagan foe turned Reagan wannabe and would-be second MBA President. As a quick glance reveals, Mitt Romney will be remembered as the Zelig of Campaign '08, a human chameleon whose positions morphed with changing audience, the ZIP code and political requirements of the day.
Here, then, are "Mitt Romney's Greatest Hits."
Man, if I supported him and had mailed him a big check yesterday, I would be totally pissed today. Does he get to keep any donations that come to him now or before?
That's all he could come up with? He could have said, "I lost, plain and simple."
Ron @ 81:
It'll be a hard long struggle to unseat the wealthy Machiavellian oligarchy without a French Revolution of our own...
Scott in Chicago @ 92:
Interesting theory. Except Ronnie Raygun was the populist outsider battling the GOP establishment. Mitt was the establishment choice -- rejected by the rank and file.
Willard Mitt Romney could send his 5 healthy sons after Al Qaida. I'm sure Mitt thinks his boys are superior to most commoner Americans.
And, If Mitt has proof of his statement of Dems equals terrorist attacks. Then the media's responsibility would be to stick the Mic in Mitt's face and demand his evidence ! For all we know Mitt's evidence in supporting his wild claims could be a cal to the imprisoned Ms. Cleo.................
with all the help he got from his five patriotic sons, I am shocked mittens could not stay afloat. shocked, I tell you!
"freedom requires religion"
*add more gems here...*
After Mitt's infamous speech today a reporter said over the last few months he had talked to old friends of Mitts as well as some of his family members. He said many of these people said they couldn't believe what they were hearing Mitt say on the campaign trail. They were things that were totally in opposition to what Mitt has said in the past. They were surprised to hear his positions today.
In other words either Mitt had some sort of political epiphany or else he was bullshitting on the campaign trail.
Joementum @ 108:
The're just confused by the Devo hairdo.
pissed off patricia @ 94:
To the mattresses friends that demon scum, the masses is manning the battlements, they actually think they deserve to be treated as human beings, and we can have none of that.
Get a picture of Karl Rove and senator Ex Santorum dressed back in full armament ready to defend the honor of rightwing nuttery
as two kids with pea shooters look at them and laugh..saying don't waste your peas man, these guys will end up shooting themselves.
"I suspend my campaign ...."
In order to run for the vice-president spot on the ticket.

I repeat, look at what the real message is. 2 weeks ago, Rush and Ann started saying that McCain is too liberal. Now a bunch of others are jumping on ship. The real message is that they think McCain will take away independant voters away from the democrats. They are trying to soften his image. Today, Romney got his message to drop out from the right wing establishment. He’s only following orders. I know that you are very smart and will spread this message. Don’t believe anything the right wing establishment says. They are the party of misinformation.
And here I was thinking he was dropping out because he was getting his ass kicked.
Trittydi @ 115:
Nope not so...Mitt saw the handwriting(on all this campaign checks) and decided it
was time to discontinue his efforts. In fact, it is probably rather evident that McCain
will select Huckabee as his V.P...trying to regain some of the conservative votes which
are desperately needed by him in order to be competative with either Hillary or Obama.
Since Conservatives really want to live in the past, they are always caught in backward thinking and logic. So, I get a lot of joy watching them try to compete for "the biggest dumb-ass of the day" when they try to appeal to so-called conservatives for votes.
Do we give the award now to Mitt, or should we wait for McPain to speak this afternon at CPAC?
E
CPAC just had a standing ovation for McCain. See how fast they turn around and follow the establishment orders.
So, it's back "home" for Mittens.
He's heading back to
Mass/ Michigan/Utah/ Nevada/ Missouri,the shithole where he came from.
It feels good to bash Romney, but be afraid. McCain is a hard right-winger with enough of a false reputation as a maverick moderate to win this election, expand the wars, and load the Supreme Court to the right. Here's reality: he'll win all the red states, and can take a lot of the purple ones. He attracts huge numbers of independants, and Hillary will unite the conservative base; who have always been motivated by what they hate and fear; so they'll turn out for him, and there you'll have an unbeatable combination. We cannot start soon enough exposing McCain's past outrageous and true agenda soon enough in a civil, but unapologetic campagin. The Dems are no where near having a lock! DO NOT TAKE THIS ELECTION FOR GRANTED!
Chock full of right wing buzzwords. So many absolutes! I hate that shit. This seems to be all that they understand...very disturbing
What I can't get over is the unreality of the entire campaign. They talk like they're running for president on a different planet.
We are not currently fighting WWII against hitler and there is no honor in maintaining a bloody illegal occupation of a foreign nation simply because you want control of their oil and need someone to fight so your war profiteering buddies can make their billions.
Tell these losers to stop talking about this shit like it's somehow GOOD for people!
They're not giving a peptalk at a football game or trying to encourage the people of England during the Blitz.
They are supporting an illegal foreign occupation with the blood of the nation's youth and at the cost of everyone's future and the candidates seem to think that standing on a dais of skulls while extolling the virtues of perpetual war somehow makes them appear 'presidential'.
Ron @ 116:
Interesting thought but, George W. Bush singlehandedly has made this scenario impossible. Democrats are receiving more votes than the Repugs by about a 2-1 margin in the primaries. NO WAY McCain bandwagon jumpers can overcome those numbers. it's OVER !
The Stepford candidate's due back at the shop for a tune-up. With the economy going down the tubes there's gonna be a lotta $$ to be made handing out merger pink slips. He's gotta get back the $40 mil he so he stole from real working people and patriotically pumped into the (MSM) economy before the Dems get in and straighten things out too much. Plus, they've gotta change his soiled magic underwear 'garments'.
Bring on McSundowner/HuckLieberberryman!
enor @ 119:
You can be sure that whatever he says it will be with wisdom and foresight-bwaaaaaaa
and just what America needs-I am now going to play my strat and write a song called The Red Eye Express,
A free ride to Dante's third level of hell.
Bye, Mittney! Thanks for playing!
What's does the barber say??
NEXT!!!
Hey Shit Romney -- take your $250 million and shove it up your a$$! STFU and go on a Mormonic retreat.
I guess the Republicans won't have Mitt Romney to kick around anymore. :)
Then how come your 5 mary weasel bitch sons aren't doing their part by being in Iraq fighting for your "dear leader's noble cause" ?
Maddy @ 127:
Anyone got a really cool chord progression they want to share..
Well, it looks like GOPervs are getting all their ducks in a row and making sure everyone on there side is getting in line with the party. This is something that is extremely difficult for the Democrats to do, most of the time. I hope that this election cycle we are successfully able to get ourselves (Democrats/Independents/People who give a damn about this country) rallied together and put an end to the Age of Fear and Terror. Where I was previously on the fence about being able to support a Democratic nominee who is not my first choice, I realize now that it is more important to support our nominee, whoever it may be.
The GOPerv rallying cry that voting for the Democratic will be surrendering to terrorist, is just sickening. I hope that Americans have grown enough brains over the last 8 years to stand up and reject this constant fear mongering that is being spewed from the mouths of these weak, sad candidates.
How thankful am I that our party is the party of hope, inspiration and a bright future. We must all remain united and keep the momentum we going for us, there is too much at stake not to.
Boy, he sure showed them terrorists a thing or two, eh? Preemptive surrender. Kinda like pull-n-pray?
Maddy @ 132:
Since it's about the devil and hell and stuff, be sure to throw in a tritone (aka the Devil's Interval).
And only an idiot would think Romney really believes what he is saying. His comments are disgraceful. He's a disgrace.
It seems that each party has their own level of surrender.
Republicans surrender to the war on poverty.
Democrats surrender to the war to terrorism (and, in this case, by "war", I mean the unending array of irrational, short-term solutions that we employed in the 80's that created this mess in the first place).
Libertarians surrender to the war on drugs.
Hey RNC, we all see what you did there. First you set up "President Hillary Clinton" as the object of regular fearmongering and handwringing. Then you sic your rabid attack dogs on McCain, to make him look moderate. Then you twist Willard's arm to make him concede. You don't care if you alienate your ultraconservative base; you know that come November they're going to vote R, or simply stay home.
But the moderates -- you can't win without the moderates. So now the MSM theme for the rest of the election cycle is going to be "McCain is too moderate. Can the Republican party win the White House with a moderate? Oh and by the way, look at today's dirt on Hillary."
But what you can't control is the fact that moderates are SICK of Republican lies and pandering. Young people KNOW that anything R is corrupt. Independents can SEE that McCain is another puppet of the neoconservatives. And everyone remembers THIS.
The only thing that even gives you a slight hope of winning in November is Hillary Clinton, who is universally loathed by social conservatives after two decades of the name Clinton being subjected to daily two minutes hate for the past sixteen years. You believe that if anyone can keep the fundies from staying home on Nov 4, it's her.
But your tactics will backfire. McCain will not inspire either your base, nor the moderates.
Hillary/Obama in 08. In no particular order.
Considering almost two-thirds of the country are sick of the iraq war and are sick of divisive politics, I think a great ad campaign would just be a montage of all the republicans from the past 7 years claiming that specific Democrats, all Democrats, all liberals and anyone that doesn't support the war are terrorist sympathizers, surrenderers, non-troop supports, etc... I know they'd need to pool all their campaign money to buy a spot long enough to run it but I think it would just be devastating. Just start it out with: This is what Republican Politicians think of you.
That's right, Romney, keep telling yourself that, one day you'll believe it. Go ahead, spend more time with your family.
WHAT A DISHONEST FEER MONGERING PRICK
Okay, I was a little sympathetic to the guy since McCain and Huckabee set him up for failure. But that comment was just over the top.
Then why is he giving Hillary 30 million?
His farewell speech (you won't be missed, jerkoff!) is indicative of his thought process; when he's losing he's got to blame it on the Democrats and feed us excuses as to why he's dropping out. Let's face it Mitt, you were never president material.
"So again, I say so long, Mittens. You never stood a chance, don’t let the door hit ya’ on the way out…"
Umm. Shouldn't that be "...don’t let the door catch ya tail on the way out…"
No, just mormobots like him. That's how they do everything.
See you later tool.
Well cool then! That pretty much frees up his boys now. There's nothing to hold them back from going to Iraq and fight the terrorists. Send them now Mitt! Our country's at stake!
