View Full Version : Romney: "It Kills Me That I'm Not in Washington"

In First Interview (http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2013/03/in-first-interview-romney-says-he-lost-because-he-failed-to-reach-minorities-kills-not-to-be-in-washington/), Mitt Romney Says He Lost Because He Failed to Reach Minorities, ‘Kills’ Not to Be in Washington

A reflective Mitt Romney today blamed his loss in the presidential election last November to his inability to connect with minorities, the former Republican nominee admitting to Fox News’ Chris Wallace that it still “kills him” not to be in Washington.

“We did very well with the majority population but not with the minority populations and that was a real failing, that was a mistake,” said Romney, when asked why he believes he lost the White House last fall.

“We didn’t do as good a job as connecting with that audience as we should have,” he added.

Romney, who taped the interview in the San Diego home of his youngest son Craig earlier in the week, said bluntly, “I still care,” when asked what life is like watching business in Washington go on without him.

“I wish I were there,” he said. “It kills me to not be there, to not be in the White House doing what needs to be done.”

Romney said he does not see the “kind of leadership” that he believes the country needs and he thinks the current financial crisis is a “huge opportunity.”
“The hardest thing about losing is watching this critical moment, this golden moment, just slip away with politics,” he said, referring to the debate over sequestration.

Dear Mr. Romney:

You failed to connect with minorities the same way you failed to connect with everyone else--you have no leadership. If you did, you'd have long ago joined the party that matches your Marxist principles. That is a party you could lead.

If the GOP couldn't have seen this and many other aspects of a Romney candidacy leading to failure, then they were blind or had no intention of taking a run at the presidency seriously. I believe the later to be the case.

It was all a dog and pony show. Until we can break the dichotomy we call our government, this fact will never change.

mitt "the cheat" romney also should have said, "and i got caught multiple times cheating in the election process. i cheated ron paul of his rightfully won delegates. i even got the gop to change the rules on stage on the 5 states issue for nomination. i also laughed when some states read their totals and didnt mention rons totals. also, i threatened to ruin rons name if he attacked me during the jan-feb period in 2012. upon reflection, its hard to win when you cheat against the most honest group of people in the nation. i should have embraced the ron paul supporters rather than fight against them at all levels. if i could have stayed in their good graces, maybe they would have voted for me instead of writing in RP or voting for gary johnson."

like Scott Brown & Bill Weld, Mitt Romney has decided not to run in our short special election.
When Sen. John Kerry opted to be our Sec' of State, his senate seat went wide open up here.
If Mitt REALLY wanted to be in D.C he could have decided to run for John Kerry's senate seat.

Minorities aren't going to vote for any liberty candidate. The Democratic party is the party of food stamps, handouts, and "free" goodies. The Democratic party has the minorities locked in and dependent, just like how they wanted all along. I mean, Romney who was pro-amnesty as well as McCain all lost the vote from minorities.

Bull.

People who were of 'minority' ethnic backgrounds did vote for Ron Paul. A bunch of them. And most of us personally know some of them.

A great many people of all backgrounds would rather breathe free than get stuff handed to them. And, if they understood that this was truly an either/or choice, most people of all ethnic backgrounds would make the same decision.

Your stereotyping isn't helping you understand the situation, and wouldn't help us understand the situation. Fortunately for the movement, most of us know better.

Republicans aren't exactly doing themselves any favors by constantly having members say things that help continue the stigma that they're anti-women or anyone whose not your typical White, well off man or woman. Not all of them do this, but the ones that do make the most noise. Yes, Democrats are guilty of this as well, but when the Republican Party portrays itself as a party of moral values, it's so much easier to zero in on them when they make flubs like Todd Akin did.

In all honesty, you could get rid of weirdos like Akin and it wouldn't do a damn thing. Progressives are vastly over-represented in media, so they set the narrative.

For example:

Elizabeth Warren. She openly lies about having American Indian ancestry, which greatly aided her getting a teaching position at Harvard Law, and the Left adores her. Make her a Conservative and, heaven forbid, a man, and she becomes the laughing stock of the country, gets fired, and very well faces criminal charges. But she's an open Marxist so that's all forgiven.

The person who told women the best way to avoid rape is to inform your assailant you're menstruating? Can you imagine the field day Leftist entertainers would be having with this if this person had been a Conservative? This is every bit as full-retard as Akin's coments, but, again, this person gets a pass because it fits the Marxist narrative.

That's a pretty general statement. Around here they are on the dole left and right - he bought the election.

Obama won because he gave away our kids future. 97% of blacks voted for him (think that's the correct statistic). I voted for Romney (regardless of my support for Ron Paul), because I thought he would do a better job at getting the economy back in shape. Ron didn't have a chance. Obviously 43% or so of the country agreed with me. Do you think Obama's doing a great job?

Read the part of my post that you quoted again. Does it really sound like I approve of what the bastard's doing?

It seems to me like 85-90% of the general population does not understand how that 'free stuff' is curtailing their freedoms. Certainly this is a trickier concept than the ways that, say, the PATRIOT Act and the NDAA are curtailing their freedoms--and those don't get covered properly by the media. Clearly our mandate from Ron Paul to educate is still with us. We haven't finished that job yet. Not by a country mile.

Your pictures remind me that who counts the votes seems to come into play. It really should be looked into.

It's like every 4 Ron Paul votes got turned into 1 and every 1 for Romney got turned into 2. (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?399400-Consistent-lying-Nation-W-I-D-E)

You don't write off half the population and say you aren't even trying to get their votes when you are running for office. No one that is trying to win does that. Plenty of people would have voted for Romney if he hadn't of made that comment, it cost him the election and he knows it.

RP used the nanny state argument and it's not government's job to take care of you cradle to grave, etc. While that may be true, you never want to say that if you want to win voters. There's too many of them on the dole these days. They will always choose santa claus over that. Leeches think: One candidate offers goodies. The other, insults. Gee, who should I vote for? Don't have to think long on that one.

The only mistake he made was on the exact percentage. But its common fact that roughly half the population votes democrat and half republican. The democrats largely vote democrat to get their benefits. So Romney made a statement of fact. He just had to convince the left over percentage to vote for him. That is a completely accurate statement, he just did a terrible job explaining it because he was in it to lose, not win.

You must have missed the comments where I said he got the percentage wrong. That was his mistake, that and not explaining himself. Not all democrats vote to receive benefits, but they vote democrat so others can, mistakenly thinking more money solves the problem. Again, Romney was correct, he just did a terrible job explaining it and so did his campaign. I could have had statement released for him in minute explaining what he meant. Him and his campaign made no attempt to clarify his statements, instead just backpedaled and flip flopped like usual.

Mitt, nominating you for the highest office in the land had marginally less chance of success than your daddy's company, American Motor Corporation did. But you knew that going in, didn't you, bud? You went to Bilderberg and were told exactly how the 2012 election would turn out, and you act surprised? You knew your role and played it well.

For fuck's sake, if it breaks your heart so much that you aren't in Washington, hop on your jet and pop on over. I'm sure you can still afford the fuel. Go for a nice walk and contemplate how much the very fact that you draw breath on this planet fucked over an entire nation.

That comment was pandering to the ignorant. He said it either in ignorance or to perpetuate ignorance, and the only reason he said it was that he was ignorant of the fact that someone could be, and was, recording it.

He was pandering. There's a significant subsection of the GOP which is mainly composed of retirees, and also of the spoiled sons of entrepreneurs who, in a few years, will take over daddy's company and run it into the ground, and more than a few professionals who daddy put through college and, so far, have made out just fine hiding behind their ivy league sheepskin, cutting jobs, and making speeches about how their troops in the trenches will just have to forego raises and work harder until the company gets its next bailout. These people are completely insulated from the reality that a shrinking dollar, a shrinking economy, and a culture of overregulation and the squeezing of small business has resulted in families with two breadwinners working three or four jobs that can't put food on the table without food stamps.

And the GOP is dying under the weight of them because the privileged are so successfully concentrating the dwindling wealth of this great nation in fewer and fewer and fewer hands that more of them are getting converted from rich to poor every single damned day. Do the math. The only thing that's keeping the GOP from dwindling into obscurity is us.

Mitt Romney, with his uber-rich screw up of a daddy who poised Nash Motors (AMC) to fail, then bailed out for a lucrative political career, and his corporate raider Bain Capital 'enterprise' which is an integral part of the problem, had no solutions and everyone could see that. Yeah, Obama overcame obstacles by being a team player for the bad guys and that makes him the ultimate turncoat. But at least he had some obstacles to overcome. This gives him a measure of plausible deniability. He should no longer have had any plausibility at all by reelection time, after breaking every single campaign promise he had made four years earlier. But the powers that be had a plan for that contingency, as we all saw. They put up an active part of the problem to 'oppose' him, and just in case his hair couldn't get him the nomination, they ensured that all of his opposition except Ron Paul was stupid, crazy, and/or worse, and they ensured that all of his opposition except Ron Paul was played up as a legitimate contender. And the Democrat Rupert Murdoch and his Faux News put it over nicely.

He did not support his own comment because it was insupportable. There was a time in this nation when it wasn't possible to work sixty hours a week and still be unable to afford to feed your family without government assistance. And the corporate raiders and the offshorers--like Romney himself--destroyed that.

Romney lost because there was no way in hell he could ever win. He was the Bob Dole of the new millenium. And the sooner they stop pointing cameras at his glowering, Nixon-like mug, the happier I'll be.

I very much doubt that. The Romneys wanted power and felt destined for it, he was essentially running and positioning for President for the last 6-8 years. Same with his failed Senate run and Governorship; they were desperate for power. They got blindsided by reality on election night. The entire GOP establishment got blindsided and a few notables had on camera meltdowns.

I very much doubt that. The Romneys wanted power and felt destined for it, he was essentially running and positioning for President for the last 6-8 years. Same with his failed Senate run and Governorship; they were desperate for power. They got blindsided by reality on election night. The entire GOP establishment got blindsided and a few notables had on camera meltdowns.

You would have to be an idiot to be blindsided by that. Romney could not attract anyone who doesnt always vote republican anyways, so how is he going to win? Additionally he is the second coming of John Kerry who couldnt even beat Bush. Not to mention he had a hard time getting people to his rallies.
