Mitt Romney: Epic Fail

2:48 pm EST February 7th, 2008 | News | 10 Comments

Surely I would have preferred for the Democrats to have to face Romney than McCain, but I take serious pleasure in the flameout of the most disingenous politician in U.S. History, and the egg on the face of his chief fluffer, Hugh Hewitt.

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney suspended his presidential campaign Thursday, telling a convention of conservative activists a protracted fight with John McCain would only aid the Democrats.

“I entered this race because I love America, and because I love America, I feel I must stand aside for our party and our country,” Romney told the Conservative Political Action Conference. He said a Democratic victory in the 2008 presidential election would endanger America’s security in a time of war.

    It’s kind of funny how the 4 republican candidates make up the whole psyche of the wignutisphere.

    McCain=war pornographer
    Romney=fiscal irresponsibility (CEO Pres. Yeah right.)
    9ui11ani=Be Afraid!
    Huckabee=God porn

    It’s like that Star Trek episode when everybody gets split into good and evil.

    Yeah, except the GOP just got split into different types of evil.

    Romney brings up al-Qaeda for no reason at all even when he quits. What a trouper.

    I liked Mitt and although I probably couldn’t have voted for Mitt2008, I thought he was a pretty strong candidate and more palitable than the rest of the field.

    It turns out that the southern bible thumpers don’t like Mormons, or at least prefer the purity of a Southern Baptist preacher to a Yankee conservative. Frankly, I think the Republicans are left with their two weakest candidates. McCain is distasteful to all who have followed the arc of his career and Huck can’t win outside of the deep south. This could end up being a historic landslide.

    Yup. Let’s see how they like it for a change when they have to hold their nose to vote.

    Plus the very real possibility of Ron Paul standing in for Nader as a spoiler.

    Pass the popcorn, somebody.

    “Plus the very real possibility of Ron Paul standing in for Nader as a spoiler.”

    He’s more pro-life than McCain, and more conservative in other areas as well. (Not to mention having more money.) All he would need to do is pull 10% of Republican voters to make it nearly impossible for McCain to win.

    What a bunch of losers the Republicans are stuck with. I would have given McCain 45% of the vote before his Kerry-esqe comments of staying in Iraq “100…1000 years” and saying he doesn’t know anything about the economy. The question is will the DNC capitalize? Or will they say it isn’t nice?

    And the joke that Romney was the chosen candidate of the conservative wing. Romney is like New England weather. Don’t like what he stands for? Wait a few minutes, it will change.

    They are thisclose to committing hari kari on Wizbangblog. It’s fun to watch them agonize about having to vote for McCain. They are starting to figure out that their rabid ideology is on the fringe of debate.

    So now that the boys aren’t serving their country by campaigning, I guess they’ll enlist now.
