After nearly six years trying to become president, Mitt Romney conceded he had lost to President Barack Obama early Wednesday morning, declaring that "this election is over, but our principles endure."

"I believe in America," Romney said one final time, repeating his campaign's slogan, decided long ago. "I so wish that I had been able to fulfill your hopes to lead the country in a different direction. But the nation chose another leader."

1. Uh...which ones?

n/t.

[AsahinaKimi]

19. my exact thought!

He has principles? who knew!!??

[rock]

25. Ah, he says he has principles

Maybe he doesn't

[wordpix]

35. mine,too - are those his t-bag principles or his "middle class, I feel for you" principles?

[markpkessinger]

42. The principle of saying whatever he needs to say . . .

. . . to get whatever he wants.

[sinkingfeeling]

2. Did he say which Romney's principles still endure?

[ThomThom]

37. I'm sure it's that money rules except we just proved it doesn't always buy everything

everything else he said was changeable as the direction of the wind
a bad wind

[codjh9]

3. Translation: 'there will always be assholes like me out there'

[Happyhippychick]

4. He reminds me of a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman

[speedoo]

5. His principles are greed, money, power... Accumulating as much as possible of each.

Not sure to what end he wants so desperately to do so but I know it was extremely important to defeat him.

[Skittles]

6. vulture capitalism is A-OK

gawd he and his elitist wife and his asshole trust fund kids need to all TAKE A FUCKING HIKE

[NRaleighLiberal]

7. his school principles. some of them must still be alive.

[jenw2]

11. What is a school principle?

[NRaleighLiberal]

14. sorry - play on word "principal" (clearly not a good one!)

[PossumSqueezins]

8. He's funny now.

I didn't realize it before.

[aletier_v]

9. He must have made a killing on donations and ClearChannel commercials. :)

what principles?

The only principle we saw out of this clown was MONEY.

MONEY!
MONEY!
HOW CAN I GET MORE MONEY?!

[defacto7]

10. Translation...

I didn't learn a thing. I am immovable.

These are 2 things that make me very glad he is not the POTUS.

[heaven05]

12. watching

mitttwits concession speech was one of the brightest moments of my life. There is still hope for America.

[Politicalboi]

13. Yeah, down the drain

"I so wish that I had been able to fulfill your hopes to lead the country in a different direction. But the nation chose another leader."

We chose a BETTER leader.

[louslobbs]

15. How about his integrity, does he say anything about that? The only thing that endures in his life,

is money and interest.......lots and lots of money and lots and lots of interest.....on ill gotten gains hidden in places other than the USA so that he and the misses don't have to pay taxes here in America. Also, what's hidden in their tax returns, that also endures......I'm so glad this pathetic excuse for a human being couldn't buy his way or lie his way into the White House.

17. It would have been beyond shocking if he'd said anything else.

He's not the sort of person to learn, grow, and become a better person as life goes on.

If he were, he wouldn't have been such an unmitigated asshole by the time we all got to know him.

[LiberalElite]

18. Robme "principles"

Say whatever to whoever. End justifies the means. Period.

[askyeshua]

20. Principles he had after or before he was severely conservative? n/t

[NYtoBush-Drop Dead]

21. What principles?

I didnt notice Mittwitt had any.

[tanyev]

22. Tell me again what those principles are? The ones for today, anyway?

[Kingofalldems]

23. I love that story!

[adieu]

24. What principles?

Oh, the one that advises, "say anything to get what you want"? That one? Yeah, keep on with that.

[adirondacker]

26. I hope the secret service checks his briefcase for scissors. n/t

[maindawg]

27. my hopes havent changed either

I want to see him prosecuted for tax evasion. I will watch the suit brought by the UAW for stealing 15 million from the auto bailout loan stimulus and hiding it in Annes trust fund. I want to see him behind bars. I am also going to watch them bring charges against sheldon adelson . We must fight fire with fire. We must bring these criminals to justice.
I watched the Rmoney give his very polite speech , what I heard him saying is please dont investigate me now.......
ya, fuck you mitt, we have 4 agants on it by 1 am nov 7. lets finish him. make sure this creatin is done for good.

you have to kill them twice, they always come back.

[oldbanjo]

29. I do too, an 100 million dollar IRA,

how is that legal?

[oldbanjo]

28. It was GODs wish.

[LeftishBrit]

30. The words 'Romney' and 'principles' don't belong in the same sentence!

31. Ah, I was hoping that his post-politics career would be in standup comedy. n/t

[displacedtexan]

32. Romney: "My Principles endure...

... now explain what 'old and busted' means."

The only thing Mitt is good for now is a walk on in a Mad Men episode about landing the Coppertone QT quick tanning lotion account.

[rrely]

33. Just go away

Get on one of your boats and take a long cruise on the briny seas.

[marble falls]

34. His most enduring principle: never showing his tax forms, or even having any sort of principles....

to begin with.

[Odin2005]

36. What principles???

[olddad56]

38. Oh Willard, you fulfilled my hopes and then some.

[joanbarnes]

39. What principles?

[rizlaplus]

40. Romney is seriously deluded

and needs to visit Nurse for his injection. He's been allowed out for too long now and needs to return Home.

[KurtNYC]

41. The Onion has their work cut out for them this week!

How do you do a parody of that headline??

[thecrow]

43. His principles endure just like Bush's endure

on the pages of history as failed principles.
Next question?

[Myrina]

44. Nice that he finally figured out what they are ...
