Romney confirms it at CPAC - he's out
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 01:07 PM by MonkeyFunk
on CSPAN 2. Claims he's dropping out because of the national security risk of electing Obama or Clinton, so he's getting out of the way.


He just loves America TOO much, dammit!

10. it was cringe-worthy
I couldn't believe he was actually saying it.

He didn't drop out because he had no chance to win - no, he couldn't let his campaign "help be a surrender to terror." :eyes:

4. He spent the first part talking about how one of the biggest threats
is unwed mothers. Willard Mittens Romney is a total tool. I really wish we could have run against that loser.

5. Who's listening to this sh*t
I used to find this bastard amusing, in a game-show hosting kind of way. But this speech is infuriating! I know he's talking to CPAC, the organization whose souls purpose, apparently, is to fellate Dick Cheney, but this is not the Mittens that was governor of MA. This man is a psychopath.

:grr:

11. That's exactly what I thought!
Romney could be a very good game-show host.

He really should give up on politics though, he's all over the place.

12. what an idiot.
neither Obama nor clinton is my preferred candidate (I wanted Kucinich, or Edwards)... but not only is that comment BS, it certainly heralds how wonderful the GE will be ...NOT.
No democrat should sit still for such hateful and unfounded accusations.

13. No big surprise there, frankly.
his reasoning no doubt is influenced by a possible run in the future, down the road....

14. His "reasoning"
was the biggest pile of self-serving crap I've seen come out of a politician's mouth in ages, and that's saying a lot.
