Nice of him to burn through a bunch of other people's money running for it then. Swell guy.

Your threads are just as predictable as JohnnyClips were.

I never read his threads, so I have no idea what you're going on about...

I read this the other day and frankly I was a bit disappointed. If he didn't want to become President, why did he run?

Your anti Republican, Democratic's are god threads are all you seem to post. We get it already ? You hate Republicans.

Of course he didn't. As with any staged wrestling match theres a chosen winner and loser.

In 2008, I believe McCain didn't really want the job and was just 'taking one for the team' because no repub was gonna win that year.

But Romney? Yeah, he wanted the job.

it's like the schoolyard bully who doesn't get what he wants, and then says "I didn't want it anyhow"

Guilty as charged. :thumbsup

Right!

For a guy who didn't want the job, he sure was driven in the primaries. Millions to destroy Santorum, Newt, Perry, etc.

He wanted it.

To me he seemed like a person that was more interested in the title that anything else.

With 80%+ of the world population hoping for Obama I'd say the right man got the job.

I would agree. :thumbsup

I was going to respond to individuals, but when I read that 80% of the world wanted Obama . . . I did not see the point.

Go on believing what you read on the Internet; that slap in the face from reality is going to fuck you up.

yeah, i also think it was more like 98% :winkwink:

I don't buy it. If he really said that I think it might be about saving face. Kind of like when you don't get a promotion at work then you say, "I didn't really want it anyway." So you feel better about losing.

I don't think someone who doesn't really want the job spends the last five years of their life, plus a ton of their own money pursuing it. If he really didn't want the job he could have done a few things. First, not run a second time. Second, during the primaries he could have gone all batshit crazy like half the other candidates did and self-destructed. He could have also come out and been sluggish during the debates, but he looked like he really wanted to win the debates.

It was his kid trying to save face. I'll believe it when Mitt says it.

It's ironic that the same people that paid for Obama's campaign also paid for Romney's.

I agree 100%

Can't even show respect, what a douche. "We didn't even want it anyways! Neener neener!"

for the party? for the family (its said that son and wife persuaded him)?

Its not him who was coordinating the election strategies, duh

I assume its not that he wanted to lose on purpose. Its that he was not really interested in running for president, but was persuaded.
Like when you do not really want to participate in some race, but somebody from your family or friends persuades you. At that point you won't go and lose on purpose, you will still go for the win.

future president of the united states of america

If you're talking about mitt romney, you just lost all credibility. hopefully you weren't.

Anyone who knows Romney's (and his father's) history, knows that he really wanted the job.

Too bad for him that they ran one of the most pathetic, amateur hour campaigns in recent memory.

mitt romney? apparently he doesn't want to be president

I guess I still have to disagree.
This isn't like running a race, or going to dinner somewhere that you don't want to go or something like that. It is running for the office of he most powerful man in the world. If he were talked into it by his family I don't think he would have tried as hard as he did to win because then he would have to actually do the job.

I love my family, but if they told me they wanted me to commit 4+ years of my life running for office (because he never really stopped after the 2008 election) and if I won I would then have to do the hardest job in the world for the next 4 years I sure as hell would not try to do that.

I think he really wanted to win and I think this is his son's way of trying to blow it off.

It still stuns me that someone with a 34% approval rating when he left office as governor thought he could run for President of the United States.

I assume its not like he did not want it completely, something like "Don't we have someone else from our party to run for the office?" Then "well, I guess I could run if you put a trust in me".
I mean maybe he was not very enthusiastic, but he was not completely against it either. Somewhere in the middle. Not wanted it really much, just wanted it enough to run.

Most important is what party thinks. If you have 34% but your party nominates you then you why not?

It is possible that this is the case.

To me he seems like one of those A-Type people who decides they want something and goes after it doggedly until they get it.

That said, I do think that he ran not because he wanted to be president in an effort to make the country better, but more like he wanted it because he wanted it if that makes any sense.

Yeah. The candidate never has anything to do with what the campaign does.

Who said never? I said that most of the campaign things is done by coordinators, not by the candidate. It is possible that it was his idea, but it is more likely that it was an idea of someone else from his campaign management.
They are professional campaign managers and usually they coordinate it. After all they know better how to do it as they are pros in that field, not the candidate himself.

Agreed. It's just Tagg going :moon like a brat. Shocking.

Does the apple fall far from the tree? Methinks not:2 cents:

Who bashes Mitt?
Hipsters, gays, blacks, welfare leechers and 47% :thumbsup

Dunno if you're just being snarky for fun...

That said, let's talk about the "47%" for a moment.

Did you know that about 90% of them are the working poor and the elderly?

If you took certain people and their uninformed rantings at face value, you'd think that 100% of the 47% were all lazy welfare queens.

This last post was for fun :)

On a serious note I am sure that republican rule is better for country and democrat rule is better for leechers. The more dems will rule the bigger percentage of population will be leechers and not contributors to society.

And no I do not think that all 47% are lazy.
But there is a huge percentage of population that are parasitic lazy and most of them vote democrats. That should say something to you. Why would decent citizen would vote for party that is supported by most of the society parasites?
As a rule of thumb in most countries decent people do not vote for parties that are supported by bottom society (not talking about simply poor, talking about parasitic lazy and leechers, and similar)

It still stuns me the stuff you come up with; you believe everything you read on the Internet without giving pause to looking at the big picture.

I think he did want to be president. He just didn't win.
Cool guy though.

What a pile of shit. Republicans don't give a fuck about the country - their concern is only that their own leeching constituency accumulates more wealth by whatever means necessary - trumped up war, outsourcing, tax cuts, deregulation, etc. They FEED OFF of America.

What's good for the top .01% is NOT what is good for the country. Bush gave massive tax cuts to the rich - yet the economy tanked, and unemployment skyrocketed.

Not to mention all the other GOP nutty ideas - a complete disdain for science, weakening of the separation of church & state, anti-choice, homophobia, and no interest whatsoever in education. Republican rule is better for the country? Where were you between the years of 2000-2008? Compare to the peace and prosperity of the Clinton years.

The Internet, you should try it - it's more than just Fox News.

Mit will say it to half the room, then say just the opposite to the other half of the room. Romney was a fucking clown that still doesn't know why he lost.

It still stuns me that a junior senator from a basically corrupt state with a background as a community organizer and zero military or business experience can run and win.

It speaks volumes of where this country is at and unfortunately for the next generations, where it's going.

What I find funny is that during the first election with Obama, the GOP did everything in their power to claim Obama had no foreign policy credentials and that he would be soft on terror, likely causing more terror attacks in the US.

He was elected and for the most part has largely dismantled al qaeda and killed bin Laden. Something Bush put us into two wars to do, yet never succeeded and largely gave up on it by the end of his last term.

Meanwhile you never hear the right saying anything positive about what he managed to accomplish. I mean after all those were the GOP goals under Bush and were the most important factors if you listened to them in the first election.

Obama has managed to do a better job on foreign policy than Bush and the GOP is quiet as a mouse about that, only to now bitch and moan about problems here in the US which they largely left ignored under Bush admin.

I can't count the amount of times I heard the right complaining about boarder security.. Yet Bush was in office for 8 years and did little to nothing to fix it.

It's like all the right can do is complain, bitch & moan, but they never have a solution except chanting their party line of no taxes for the rich..

Ordering special forces after 6 months of pondering was not that impressive. Had he lead the raid. That would've been impressive.

Foreign policy...You must be joking. Egypt,Libya,Syria,Iran,North Korea,Israel and now Russia.. Things are significantly worse today everywhere on earth than it was 4 years ago.

Bitch and moan about having to work harder to pay more so democrats can suck the government tit harder. You bet. And let's not forget about the deficit. $16.4t and counting.
Obama knew last summer there was a big fiscal problem coming up on January 1. He also knew damn well that raising taxes on just the top earners would never fly in congress.
I am already prepared for a tax increase. You got swindled.

Bonus: the voters made sure he wouldn't be burdened with the job
