********************************
No More Rich Power Elite running for a government position in this country. It's time we start having common folk in power that speaks for the common people. Everyone that we have put into office in the last 100 years are either Rich, Politically Connected or from a Ivory league School. It's time to let the common folk run the country. It's time for a Revolution in this country because it has become Us against Them. There is no more time for idle chatter and lies form the Power Elite ! ********************************

This is one scary looking man. He just looks evil to me!

Mitt had said GM should be let fail and all big 3. Why,
He is a republican, that is enough for me!

Obama will destroy him.

The Obama administration's reckless start out of the gate make Romney look really good in comparison. How well did throwing billions at Wall Street do for jump starting the economy? They don't even know where the money ended up! How about tens of billions of tax dollars to save our domestic auto industry? Chrysler is being sold to Fiat and GM is toast ( but taxpayer-owned toast ). They are getting ready to throw $30 billion more at GM! Ford took no money and is relying on good products to survive. What a concept!

...and then there's the $1 trillion stimulus package. Loaded with pork spending it is shaping up to be yet another irresponsible fiasco.

I'm sure that by 2012 America will be fed up and ready for responsible government. Mitt Romney knows what that looks like and can be the guy to make it work.

So he says give GM back to the people. I for one did not know we owned GM I thought they were a private company. Same old Romeny, doesn't know his butt from a hole in the ground, which every time he opens his mouth he digs that hole deeper.

When John F. Kennedy ran for president there were many who voted against him because he was Roman Catholic and the voters did not want the Pope to control the USA. Now we have Mitt Romney, a Mormon (though not a bigamist as someone idiotly commented) and we had voters who would not have voted for him lest the Mormon Church control the USA. Perhaps all future presidents should be atheists and then we wouldn't have to worry about any church or church heirarchy "controlling" the USA. Oh, darn, I forgot about the Congress; gee don't they have a say in what is going on in this country?

What exactly does Romney bring to the table that makes him qualified to
be the US President? If he really wants people to hear what he has to say, he will need to be less traditional GOP in his comments and more open to what Americans value.

Sorry, Mitt, we are still the 'Home of the Brave', not the home of the 'Appropriately Fearful' (to quite a GOP talking point) as you GOP folks would like us to be

Mitt Romney will not be running in 2012. He knows he can't win.
He is just using up he last 15 minutes of political fame. After the next year, Mr Romney will disappear. He will go back to hoarding his millions.

Sorry Mitt Romney...fear mongering will not work. Most Americans voted against it this past election.

Acting like a candidate ? Acting as his usual fool ...

Gee, giving a speech to the Heritage Foundation, that's like talking to yourself isn't it, Mitt? You can't get too much more right wing than the Heritage Foundation. I bet he stands by everything that Cheney, Rush and Newt say, word for word. He thinks that the R-N-C (Rush, Newt, Cheney) is the road to 2012. He's a fool and he'll find out that the R-N-C and their politics of fear and hate no longer work in America. Once again proving that he's an idiot.

Romney...Candidate....Loser......Party of No.......Panderer!!......

Sounds like he is running for President everytime he opens his mouth. It ain't going to happen.

Where were your solutions during the 2008 campaign....you knucklehead!!!!!

Watching him is like watching a plant grow.

He's acting as much as a candidate as Obama currently is.

Not Mittens he couldnt even Beat Mccain in the Primaries, What a Joke! hahahah Mittens go away your not wanted you think you would know that by now!

Twinky speaks ! Another White, Rich, Male, Republican. I am so tired of them and their old ideas. Now, after spending weeks complaining that President Obama is spending too much tax payer money, he suggests that we deal with North Korea (GNP, and number of nuclear weapons possessed about the same as a small South American country) by spending trillions ($) on a Ballistic Missle Defense System. Old Republican Trick: Have Government spend gazillions ($) on useless "defense" items and leave the piggy bank empty for when it's time for domestic spending.

What do you expect a bitter republilcan to say..of course this guy is going to make another try at the presidency, which by the way he will loose. He has no substance at all, his comment are empty and only cater to the gop way of thinking. These people are not inclusive and will never be, that's that sad part about it. They cannot win the presidency with the people who think like them! With all the bashing this person gives President Obama and always siding with former President Bush we all see that he is a one trick pony!! ..only looking out for the white guys with money!!

Romney should stay on the sidelines. He won't win because his past Reed Richards impression (the flexiblity on the issues and the hair). He doesn't seem sincere enough for me; I think that he could be faking it plenty of times.

The problem with Romney is not that he is a morman but that he is a pompous arrogant idiot. He thinks hes better than anyone else. And of course he is rich. I know he is well groomed to be part of his upper crust society. But he like many republicans is just looking down at the lower classes.

Romney acts like a candidate and Obama acts like a President.

"Not the Mitt Romney that lost to John McCain in the primaries? He's a joke!"

Ronald Reagan lost in the 1976 Republican primary, if I recall correctly, and then went on to own everyone in 980 and 1984.

Romney is still crying over the fact he lost even the primaries! His own party didn't want him to be their nominee either! What a loser! Just give up already! You'll never be president!

Too bad Romney isn't running the country right now. We could use someone who has an idea of what he's doing instead of the amateur community organizer that we are stuck with.

GOP can only resort to the same old, losing, boring faces like Mitt Romney. No fresh talent. No new faces. They've lost ground with every voting bloc (young people, women, ethnic minorities, etc.). The only group they've managed to maintain is the Golden Girls/Grumpy Old Men voting bloc. But oh, yeah... they're on their way to a comeback next year... yeahhh, riiggghhhttt.

hahahahah i love all you liberals hating on romney! it will be a sight to see when the teleprompter is taken away from Obama during the first Romney-Obama debate and Romney tears him apart. you say romney is a flip flopper?! Obama has changed his positions so many times in his first 100+ days, taking much of Bush's positions (to which i agree with the President)! all you hate on romney so much cause youre scared of him. I agree that Palin would have no shot against Romney, but no one can deny the experience and success of Mitt Romney over his career.

Mitt '12!

Yes, Mitt Romney _is_ acting like a candidate.

Unfortunately for him, but to the benefit of our nation's safey and security, it is the same, lame candidacy he ran with and lost last time.

Move along people. Nothing to see here.

Mitt Romney: Renaissance Man. Handsome Business & Finance Expert, Good Looking Foreign Policy Leader, Attractive Critic of All Things Liberal And/Or Socialistic, Charismatic Defender of All Things Conservative And/Or Patriotic,Photogenic Exemplar of Religious and Cultural Tolerance, Humble and Appealing Master of the Universe. Wow, what a guy!
He should be president simply on the chance that if he is just one tenth as good as he thinks he is, we're looking at the greatest presidents in history! Forget about his politics! Just imagine that fantastic smile looking back at you from, say, a 10 gabillion dollar note, while youre standing in line at McDonalds 30 years from now. Romney/Palin 2012!

I've never seen a more plastic, stiff, and arrogant "Ken" doll-like idiot in my life. Thank GOD this neo-con has-been did not get a chance to become our President. The fact you lost to McGeezer should tell you something about how we less-than-rich Americans think of you.

In 2012, there will not be enough Americans who can get to the polls to vote for anyone because Obama is bankrupting the entire country. There will be no cars running, and the gas would be too high-priced anyway. Obama has already put two American automakers out of business so he can bring in European scooters. I am amazed at the number of Americans who still say he's a good man. What a deluded bunch...still clinging to this man who will destroy the USA.

About the LAST thing this country needs is another "tax cuts for the rich will solve everything" economically conservative Republican in the White House. No thanks. Don't want.

Mitt had the correct plan for GM last year. Obama doesn't even know how to run a buisness much less a government!

And of course, Nancy is still being misled by the nose..

Romney can act like a candidate all he want. He can salivate the presidency but will never get it!

Gov Romney, can you believe there are Americans who believe Obama when he says we need to spend trillions more to get the country back on its feet when we are already in near-bankrupt state?

Sue, that is a perfect description of Romney. He is a bad actor. I said he was fake, but you hit it on head. It seems like travels with a make-up artist. It that wig???

Romney (like more Repulicans) is a hypocrite. If he is concerned about the deficit, where was he when Bush II doubled our national debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion?

Romney, Palin and Huckabee are in line to destroy each other. Can't wait.

Candidate? Really? Who'd vote for him?

I do not beleive any of them candidate at this point They always say what sounds good. I do not like Romney. For some reason I do not trust him. He just doesnt seem to be a genuine guy. Maybe it is his look. He looks fake. Eventhough I question Obama in many decisions he has made, but I still think he is a honest man. For me to vote for GOP they are going to have to get someone new. Every possible candidate they have now is not going to work for me and most Americans. You need a fresh look GOP!

Tough to put much faith into someone named after a baseball glove.

Did you not learn from your mistakes last year?

Yes, Romney is acting like a candidate. He should, because he plans on running for office again. Makes sense, right?

Is that all you got Stupid Republicans. Ha, Ha, Ha!

Mitt Romney is unlikeable. I really detest him. He is plastic and phoney.

Mitt Romney is out of his mind if he thinks he has a chance at winning the nomination, let alone the presidency. He needs to go back to Michigan or Utah and write a set of memoirs that will be as self-serving and mutable as his political positions.

Keep dreaming Mitt, Newt and Rush. Keep digging that hole deeper and deeper and just fall in, will ya? Please? Thanks.

Who let the dogs out!

Lord help us!!!!!!

[...] to make people afraid of the world, foreigners, enemies real or imagined, and their own shadows.  Mitt's getting an early start. Sphere: Related Content Comments [0]Digg it!FacebookEdit [...]

Well I sure hope he runs! President Obama will be re-elected in no time... The Republitards have no one to go up against President Obama in 2012

Romney is a whiny child just like the rest of the current leaders. There's a bunch of people that are trying to "act" like they're a candidate while digging the hole under the party deeper and deeper because they won't shut up.

We just came off of 8 years of irresponsible Republican governance. Cutting taxes for the wealthy has not resulted in improved education or better health-care, nor has it resulted in companies self-regulating themselves to improve the environment, or prevent borderline illegal trading practices which collapsed our economy. No Mitt, unless you have actual ideas which will result in the improvement of our society I basically don't care to hear your old ideas.

Acting like a canidate is about all that Romney is good for ... if that

A self centered loser, who's only goal is self promotion ...

It's no wonder the Republican party is in the tank with idiots like Romney as their top stars

The recent FLUSHING sound in the GOP ranks is music to my ears ...

The Party Of NO ... thing

He's also a loser, pathological liar and a snake salesmen.

I hope so. It's assuring Obama another 4.

Mitt is acting like a presidential candidate and that's cool. The Republican party needs a leader. The problem is that in all likelyhood, Dick Cheney has applied for the job as Vice President citing his previous 8 years of experience. With Cheney pulling Mitt Romney's strings, this country doesn't need any enemys.

Romney? Isn't he a Scientologist? Who cares what cult people think?

All he did while in Massachusetts was self promotion. He came, got his "experience" and left. He is a salesman/self-promoter don't expect anything else from this clown.

The flaw in Romneys logic is that by pandering only to the far right of the party and not reaching out to anyone other than the conservative base can any candidate from the GOP compete beyond their own base in a general election?

While the GOP continually speaks of coming back stronger, there is every indication that the conservative base is ever shrinking so the question becomes, a stronger GOP for whom?

Mitt Romney is so full of himself, does he seriously think if he just keeps running, one day he'll be elected by luck?

Mitt, the republican party has never had an idea, they have helped their extremely rich buds, but screw the middle and lower class people well we have lived on crumbs that the rich rejects...

Follow the principles of the party, give tax breaks to the rich and raise taxes on the peons, they have don't matter in the least.

I will not vote for this guy!

If Mitt weren't a Mormon, he would already be President. Forget that Mormons aren't that different from most christians (I had loads of mormon friends, and if they didn't tell you they were LDS church members, you would never guess), most americans have already (and ignorantly) decided that mormons are some weird cult.

Couple that with the fact that an economic meltdown has made many americans feel that socialism has more to offer them, and a self-made, successful entrepreneur has less chance of succeeding in politics now than before.

Mitt cannot win in 2012. Further, I cannot see why anyone would even want to try.

Americans do not need a CEO president. We just got rid of one, and look at the mess he made! This very disappointing generation of CEOs has led us into this recession, which could have been easily avoided. After being bailed out, they will lead us into another if we don't regulate them properly this time around.

For those of you who cannot afford your medication, you must realize that America's CEOs are sharing our pain. "But," I hear you say, "they have houses, cars, and they still make 400 times what I do!"

What you don't realize is that some of them have been forced put their personal jets up for sale. That has got to be really humiliating.

Why didn't he win his party nomination against A 72 years Old man in the last campaign. What make him think he will pull it off this time?
Illusionists. Good luck mitt

CNN – Stop running stories about this polygamist who lost his bid for the election. He is from the Party of No. Wait, maybe you didn't get the memo. Obama is our president and will be for 8 great years. Shut up, while I'm talking to you!

Keep on truck'n Mitt! Who knows, maybe 2024 will be your year!

Nothing more than a panderer!
I'm sure he's waiting with baited breath for another terrorist attack so hey can say, "I told you so!"...

Ummm yah good luck with that. Already??? What the heck is he thinking that people are going to swarm to him? Knock yourself out!!!

Apparently Romney didn't get the message the first time. THANKS BUT NO THANKS. Please just go away, far away........ just pick one of your many homes and GO!

Romney should run for president. It will be fun to watch a flip-flop republican like Romney go up against the centrist Obama.

Yes...... poor man wants the presidency so badly. Wont happen, sorry Mitt, the far-right-holier-than-thou-crowd wont select a Mormon, that is a fact. There is prejudice everywhere.

If McCain does not run, Mitt may have a chance. He was slapped around badly by McCain in the 2008 primaries. Add to the insult, Sarah Palin was picked as VP candidate over the Mitt wit, so most view him as insignificant.

"Mitt Romney, disciplined politician, is quick to say he's not a presidential candidate."

Romney is a politican, presidential candidate and snake oil salesman all wrapped in one. Surely there must be a used car lot out there somewhere that needs a salesame like Romney.

I think you can replace "Mitt Romney, disciplined politician" with "Mitt Romney, obvious politician." I can't think of anyone in the country right now so eager to politicize any issue at all just to get his name in the news. And the reason he is a failure at the national level is because the public see through him: Romney holds whatever position is convenient. Goodness knows what he actually believes.

He sounds more like a politician than anyone else in the Republican party right now. That is not a compliment.

They should have picked him to run this time.

"we as a party are going to come back stronger, more vibrant, and more committed to following the principles that have always been at the base of our party."

And what exactly are those principles again Herman?

He WILL lose if he runs in 2012! PERIOD!

Please get some ideas Romney! You and the Republican Party have NONE at this point!

who cares??? we have entered into a new era in this country-where the right will learn it really is feed the poor, help the homeless, children with no father–you know, all those values we as Christians believe in. we do not need any more tricky dicks in DC-2 was enough.

Mitt Romney is a Joke & shoukld waite for 2012 before jumping the Gun, his time is past

Yep...............good ole' wait and see mitch.

He will let the dem clean up the bush mess..............then when all neat,.he will decide........right....................................

How is that land you helped move the Dineh' onto.......remember the toxic radio-active dump......................remember those children?

right.................you want to run for 2012.............................

Not the Mitt Romney that lost to John McCain in the primaries? He's a joke!

Romney is a bad actor.

Show US what 'new' stuff you've got Romney.......The same old attacks won't work.....We're ready and waiting for you.....Bring It On......

he can act, but who will vote???

Will he bring all his wives to the WH?

He is still a Mormon. He will never be president.
