Romney: ‘It kills me’ not to be in White House

Mitt Romney says it "kills" him that he's not president. But he doesn't blame Superstorm Sandy, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie or anything else on his loss to President Barack Obama--except his campaign's failure to connect with minority voters.

“I lost my election because of my campaign," Romney said on "Fox News Sunday" in his first television interview since his November defeat, "not because of what anyone else did."

The former Massachusetts governor refused place blame on Christie, who some Republicans say elevated Obama in his embrace of the president in the wake of the storm.

Romney said his inability to win over black and Hispanic voters--and the damage done by those disastrous "47 percent" comments--ultimately derailed his White House bid.

The best and the brightest have come from all over the world to be Americans. Our next step is to make the white house, red white and blue!

in the past have voted more repug.
There are specific issues that face all Americans and then there are
concerns that face communities, families and individuals.
The romney campaign totally bought into the rovespeak of NONE, NO, NEVER, NOT AGAIN and
lost so many Americans in his non-vision of our future.

"Effing" self-important narcissist asswhipe. He's a fucking sociopath. The only reason he's not locked up in some state institution is because of his money.

He expects us to kiss his ass, or miss him for some reason that only appears in his self-absorbed mind.

It's like he's saying; "If I were President, we'd all be shitting Tiffany cufflinks by now!"

Fuck you and the horse you and Queen Ann paid someone to saddle for you.

How much of whatever Rmoney could let ALEC dream up for him would the Dems in Congress (both houses) block? What would they fight against? Thoughts?
