With every syllable of his speech at this year's CPAC convention, Republican Mitt Romney proves why he was totally unfit to be the next U.S. president. He was speaking to the far right fringes so it's no surprise he'd be spewing red meat at them, but he really outdid himself with this one.
Romney says that if he stays in the race he will only be making it easier for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to win -- and since they both want to retreat from fighting terrorists, he cannot be a part of helping them win the White House so he's dropping out. Sorry Mitt, America isn't buying it anymore. Your party has made us less safe and the Republican Party is no longer seen as the strong party when it comes to national security or the military. So again, I say so long, Mittens. You never stood a chance, don't let the door hit ya' on the way out...
Romney: ''If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror."
*Update - Let's take a look at some of Mittens' greatest hits!

So, up to this point, Mitt has been a terrorist enabler.
And, if Mitt had done a teeny, tiny bit better, he'd still be a terrorist enabler.
I don't usually post but Romney is a scumbag. I'm from Massachusetts and the sonner he moves back to Utah, the better.
Goodbye to a privileged, pandering, pissant.
Mitt Romney- the heroic quitter.
For his next act, he will heroically not wash the dishes and make his wife do it just so Al Qaeda won't get the last laugh.
Were we to be as valiant as Mitt....
See I don't think the Republicans even want to win this year. How can they expect to get new votes by saying that half the country want to "surrender to terror"?
He can't even be honest in defeat. What a piece of crap he is.
A clueless imbecile till the end, huh, Mittens.
Beelzebud @ 6:
The republicans can't even admit that 70% of the nation wants OUT of the war.
BTW, I will accept the nomination for VP - Mitt da fookin' Patriot
Mitt done quit cuz mitt's unfit!
How do morons like this end up with so much money and power??
Cheers.
what a weirdo
I just cant imagine why he was widely perceived as dishonest and unconvincing.
Talk about sour grapes, what a dick.
Does that mean his 5 sons can now join the fight via the miliary (or maybe even himself since he has nothing to do).
soothsayer @ 11:
"If the Mitt don't fit, you got to quit!"......or something like that.
*sticks middle finger up to Romney* Surrender to this, you warm mongering jerk.
Frankly, I don't care if the door gives him a big ol' a$$ bruisin' on the way out!
Total bs, he quit because he could not win.
I Am A Banana @ 18:
"Warm mongering jerk."
So you kind of like him in a hateful way?
That's what I said in a previous thread. He makes it sound like he is sacrificing his campaign to keep the democrats from waving a white flag to the terrorist. I called bs on that.
He is dropping out because he is tired of throwing good money after bad. That's not patriotic, that's just good business sense. Trying to cover that decision by kissing john mccain's ass, doesn't cut it.
I look at what's left for the republicans to vote for and I almost feel sorry for them. I think Mitt was most likely the most sane one in their race. Sure he would say and do anything to get elected, but at least he didn't come off as a joke in the sanity dept.
Now we must find something with which to destroy Huckabee...
Perhaps a Pigfucker Rumor (so named for the rumor Lyndon Johnson suggested be floated about one of his rivals; when an aide said it wasn't true, LBJ reputedly said, "I don't care - but make the SOB deny it!") suggesting that one of his suppressed sermons advocates the violent overthrow of the government, or the lynching of African-Americans ...
Hmm ....
Anyone have one of those Sore Loserman signs left over from 2000?
You warm, mongering, jerky, lovable cuddle dud!
I must cut and run to prevent others from cutting and running.

Well, that's typical talk, coming from a baby-eater.
Because, as you know, Republicans are baby-eaters.
There is no doubt that Republicans are baby-eaters.
We know for a fact that Republicans are baby-eaters.
I have in my hand a list of 32 -- no, 78 -- no, make it 205 -- Republicans known to be or have been baby-eaters.
Is it true? Who can say? But now the topic has been raised, and it is up to every Republican to specifically and publicly distance themselves from baby-eating.
Because otherwise... the question will still be there...
Real classy way to exit the race, now disappear into obscurity you fool.
I suppose it got too expensive paying for his folly with his own cash
Mitty, that is so 2004.
I would also suggest you not show your face around Cambridge after that.
Surrender to terror, my ass. I'm going to hound this guy with "You're a loser" letters for the rest of his life. We surrendered to terror when we allowed George W. Braindead to ignore a hundred warnings before 9-11. Mitt Romney, Freak of the Century.
Unreal. So I guess all us evil Democrats are agents of enabling terrorists. Is this what the Repubs come to? I never thought they could sink any lower. But they always prove me wrong. Could it be that Romney looked at the thought the Repubs are a dying breed? What about the thought that over 16 million Democrats in California verses 8 million Repubs voting in the primary? That besides Iraq, the economy is the number 1 priority? Well I guess it is up to McCain to save us! Yeah, right!
redx @ 16:
YEAH MITT! Sign your boys up for the war on terror!
so, when's coulter appear on the stump for hillary?
What spooked him into this selfless act? The Arabic skywriting that said, "Surrender
DorothyDemocrat"?We have our differences but I want to thank GOP voters for sparing the country of Romney and Giuliani. There's a long way to go but it's a good start.
So what will Rush and company do now? Prepare yourself for the flip flop of all flip flops when they get new marching orders from the money boys.
One by one they will hop on the McCain bandwagon.
So whom is he now supporting? He has bad-mouthed everybody
So he's admitting he's not electable.... OK... that just pissed on all the people that supported him.
He created a straw man and then used that straw man to justify his loser-ship.
McCain is using the same straw man when he says the dems will surrender to terrorist. They know it's bullshit but their base laps it up like a thirsty dog.
"Happy trails to you, until we meet again.......NOT"
"Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then......NOT"
thanks...for nothing,
U.S (Uncle Sam) America
Oh well, he doesnt really care. As a mormon he gets to be a god, with his own universe eventually. What does he care about one little country?
Ha Ha a very funny man, I am sure his supporters did not like that speech! He admits he is not good enough after he does not get enough delegates!
Dale @ 21:
hahah, I was typing so friggin' fast. WAR mongering.
The nation may well be ready for an African-american president, or a female president. It is just not ready to elect an android.

strikesI have a feeling that after McCain gives his speech before that conservative group, the tide will be turned for him. They'll all say they support him due to the speech, no matter what McCain says. The speech will be the excuse to change their minds about him.
Romney's magic underwear fails to deliver.
Does this mean they won't be doubling the size of Guantanamo? What a loss.
I love the sound of douchebags gasping after being punched in the stomach-in the morning. good riddance you lame hack.
Let me get this straight. Ronmey surrenders(gives up) to protect the country from us surrendering Democrats. Now that is some fucked up logic. He runs away like a bitch and blames the party that the majority of Americans are clearly turning to of "Surrendering To Terror". Who listens and believes this shit?
Wow - what a self-aggrandizing a**hole! Does he not understand we've had enough home-grown terror? This is what some were advocating as our next President? Someone who speaks out loud that a Democratic vote for our next President would be a surrender to terror???
Incredibly divisive at a time when unity ought to damn well prevail. The Repugs have spun themselves totally out of control...
Brave brave brave brave Sir Romney! Yes, he bravely tucked his tail and ran...
DennisQ @ 48:
I guess the Halliburton contractors are pretty bummed out right now. I'm sure they were looking forward to that building contract.
I just read at the Consevative Convention the members were crying aand yelling "No!" I guess their savior let them down. They should really pick better role models. Poor Baye Buchanan was all misty eyed. Weirdos, all of them.
"...And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror.”
So.... that means his campaign was aiding "a surrender to terror" before this?
Sadly, the shrinking reich-wing minority still believes in this type of baseless rhetoric.
So that's what all his money bought him -- an opportunity to take the world's most expensive cheap shot?
Too funny.
Maybe Mitt will go fight terrerists with his sons
How utterly . . . weird.
If he was, as I am hearing now, the "true conservative" why was McCain beating him? Could it be that most of the country could give a shit about who is the true conservative? Could it be that the true conservative people are irrelevant to most of us? Maybe the majority of the country is more concerned about the good of the country rather than a contest to see who is more anal.
In conformity with his past behavior, Mitt'll change his mind and re-enter the race on Monday.
Nice return on his investment. $40 million to not be a "surrender monkey." Buh bye Mittens, ya loser.
soothsayer @ 61:
... as a Green Party candidate.
soothsayer @ 61:
As a democrat?
GSD @ 26:
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
Guffaw!
What will stop Romney from surrendering to stupidity?
What a noble gesture! (gag)
Unfortunately, I now see a scenario for the Dems to lose.
McCain can now relax and 1] raise money 2] have time to court at least the unradical Repub righties 3] get the help of criminals like Rove and other cheaters to rig the next election 4] have time to unify the party and 5] further "expose" the Dems as dangerous cowards.
The Dems meanwhile are 1] spending their $ fighting each other and 2] dividing African Americans, and women 3] having to "expose" themselves and ideas to Repub ridicule for a lot longer 4] running the risk of boring/exhausting Americans for ? more months.
What I thought would be a sure win against the the worst administration in history now has me very worried.
I hope Huckabee stays in the race long enough to show just how loony the GOP is. McCain's going to have to deal with the party that Rove built, and as long as the Huckster's in the race it will highlight just how much of the GOP's power was based on pandering to the religious zealots.
So I guess he's saying that if he stayed in the race the dems would have won? I'm not sure I follow his seriously flawed logic. If he had stayed in, won the nomination of his party, he would have been such a bad candidate that the dems could not lose. If he knew that, why in the hell was he running in the first place?
His "looks" could only get him so far, sooner or later the real ugly comes out.
soothsayer @ 61:
dah!! haha
Mitt Quit because da NEW BOSS in NaCl Lake tol' him to, dass why!
A cheap shot, a really cheap shot.
That's right Logan we ain't buying his bs, never had, never will. He act as if this backward bs is a good excuse.
What a complete boob. Loser.
Well mutton, since your strapping sons aren't helping you on your
campaignroad trip, maybe now they can enlist.magic draws chickenhawk what's your excuse now?
repugs are full of fresh shit
I am so happy to hear the news that Romney has dropped out of the race. ("Suspending his campaign" is too nice a phrase - I wish that the media would just tell the damn truth.) Voters are now no longer at risk of electing this horrible, horrible man to lead our country. In my mind, he was third after Rudy G. and Huckaberry as being the worst possible choice for our nation's leader.
But I see that he couldn't help himself but to slam the 50%+ of voters who are Democrats and at the same time rachet up the fear level in the GOP base. I honestly think that these people would vote for Osama bin Laden himself before they could bring themselves to vote for a Democratic candidate. One gets the sense that they would rather destroy America altogether rather than cede power to a Democratic administration. Romney's whining surrender to John McCain helps reveal the true heart and soul of the "conservative" movement: FEAR, FEAR, and MORE FEAR.
Republicans/Conservatives are scared to death of everything. Scared of progress. Scared of social change. Incapacitated and overwhelmed by terrorists. Scared to death of the future. Terrified of non-white people. Suspicious of non-Christian people. Scared. Terrified. Scared. One wonders how they can keep from crapping all over themselves every time they leave their driveway. Their mantra is "BE AFRAID!"
Romney can take his candidacy and shove it up his backside! Move yourself and your looney family back to Utah and give us all a break, eh?
Where did these assholes get the idea that questioning my patriotism is just fine and dandy? After they've outed our spies for political gain and tanked the economy for a tax-cut they don't need and a war that was optional? That's what we'd classically call 'chutzpah'.
Don't let the door hit you in the ass, loser.
IH @ 69:
Too bad the GOP convention won't be held outdoors. All those cute red, white and blue propeller caps spinning in unison in the wind would be quite a charming visual.
Please some body help me. I have read his statement about ten times and become more confused each time I read it...I don't understand why if he stays in the race he will enable the terrorists. And because he is dropping out he will get rid of the terrorist.
If this is true, why didn't he lock his ass up in Gitmo long before this and save American lives. But to tell you the truth I still don't get it.
Mitt Romney: Political Whore.
Good-bye to bad rubbish. What an utter douche.
pissed off patricia @ 60:
Patricia, look at what the real message is. 2 weeks ago, Rush and Ann started saying that McCain is too liberal. Now a bunch of others are jumping on ship. The real message is that they think McCain will take away independant voters away from the democrats. They are trying to soften his image. Today, Romney got his message to drop out from the right wing establishment. He's only following orders. I know that you are very smart and will spread this message. Don't believe anything the right wing establishment says. They are the party of misinformation.
Does Mitty get to write off his $40 million? Good BUSINESS move--no?
If anything illustrates how easily a person can hoodwink the repug populace, it's Romney. The guy says something different about every issue every other minute, sells himself as the opposite of what he is - openly and unabashedly - and wields disingenuousness as his sword. Despite this reality, he's the conservative's conservative.
Man I try to put myself into their heads to try to understand where the hell they're coming from...and I can't. I don't get it. I don't understand how it's POSSIBLE to get it. Adults drifting in the mental vacuum.
Rainbowdonkey @ 3:
Please, don't send this plastic-fantastic used car salesman back here. We have more than enough phony-ass white, male, mormon republicans here as it is, thank you.
It will be interesting to see how the mormons here, who voted overwhelmingly for Romney last Tuesday, will view their beloved republican party now that they've dissed the mitten.
Maybe there is a god after all.
Ron @ 81:
I like the part where you say, "I know that you are very smart..." After that, I got all confused. :)
Let's see we are now have Left, LEfty, Lefter, Leftness and Ron Paul, yep, country is going to hell in a hand basket....
Come on now Mitt's not that bad a guy..oh hang on yes he is I was thinking of somebody else.
later in his speech, romney also puts party before country when he says he's doing it for the good of his party, and then for the good of his country. as if we needed to hear yet again that republicans are not americans, they are republicans first, last and otherwise, and then, and only then, americans. as for the democrats surrendering to terror - if you and mccain and the others, and let's not forget the leaders of the coup of 2000 who still sit in the white house and congress - if you truly believe this, i wonder why we have not seen a massive round-up of democrats on charges of treason. i want obama and hillary to speak to america about this "surrender to terror" crap. i want them to carefully delineate the difference between democrats as americans and republicans as ????? let's take the flag and patriotism back from those charlatans on the right.
Stick a fork in him...he is sooooo done! He drops some assinine one-liner before a receptive audience forgetting that Ann Coulter wasn't even invited back this year for opening her insipid trap last time. What colossal stupidity.
And again we see that success in running companies doesn't correlate with getting votes. I know this because Ross Perot has the pie chart to prove it.
What a piece.
chris @ 86:
*sigh* i miss hitler, too....
And now the media is trying to portray him as the next Ronald Reagan by comparing what happened to RR in 76 to what happen to Willard. NOT even close! The evangelicals of the GOP will NEVER vote for a mormon. Without them, he'll never get anywhere!
pissed off patricia @ 60:
Ooh! So close PoP: contard morality = moranal
Also, 'true' and 'conservative' are mutually exclusive terms, thus their confusion.
Could it be that the true conservative people are irrelevant to most of us?
Irrelevant and illiterate.
Or who wins American Idle(sic), unfortunately. (ok, but I just watch AI to stay culturally literate - I don't vote on it.)
There was something so strange about the way he looked and acted today when he got to this part of his speech. You would have thought he was about to give his life for the cause or something. Eerie and strange.
pissed off patricia @ 85:
You shouldn't be confused but, their method is to confuse the republicans and the independants who are moving towards the democratic side.
What a jackass. He's a total bastard to the core isn't he.
I guess he's just bitter because he wasted millions of his own money thinking he could buy his way into office hoping, ike a true Republican. to get a return on his investment by fleecing the taxpayer from the Oval Office like the current occupant(s) have done. Oh well, Cheney's made millions by lying America into a war that has killed thousands of innocent people then steering no bid government contracts at taxpayer expense to Halliburton therefore seeing his stock increase by over 3000% but Mittens won't have that opportunity.
Farewell you sleazy, slimy Republican piece of fllth. Don't let the door hit you in the ass!
Now he can join OJ in the search for the real killer.
Well, now that his sons no longer have to "serve America" by helping him get elected, they can call volunteer for Iraq. Right?
pissed off patricia @ 94:
no teasing!!!!
smarmy (adj.) - See Romney, Willard Mitt
The terrorists are not over there mitt, they are here going to work everyday (with the exception of george-he takes a lot of time off from terrorists activities to stratergize in Texas), in our government, and unfortunately mitt you won't get to be one of them ever, you do a fine job of spreading bullshit fear without even holding office. Just think of all the lives you have put at risk with your great business acumen, I am talking about all those laid off so you could pocket even more money. I love ya buddy now crawl back in that well appointed rat hole you came from.
