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.

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"?

pissed off patricia's picture

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.

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 ...

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...

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.

P.D.'s picture

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!

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.

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.

IH's picture

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?

Jonathon's picture

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'.

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.

*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.

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.

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?

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'.

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!

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. :)

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.”

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" ?

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?

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.

Zenrage's picture

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.

Filthy Harry's picture

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.

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.
