He didn't want that damn job anyway.[8\|] http://news.yahoo.com/mitts-son-says-never-wanted-president-anyway-150612736.html?grcc2=0eb4c66bb843b07cf56c5b113c3850b7%7E1356305575533%7E494d6e560c95708877ba0eff211c02f3%7E17e115d6c4a742f4467d97a4ae8ee0d6%7E1356305575531%7E598%7E0%7E0%7E0%7E0%7E0%7E0%7E0%7E2%7E58%7E10%7E97%7E-1%7E4553954455000923209%7E%7E%7E

Well, good for him he got his wish, then. [sm=cute.gif]

Who cares

DarkSteven -> RE: The ultimate "Sour Grapes" (12/23/2012 5:30:33 PM)
Well, he could have saved everyone a lot of fuss by not running in 2008 and 2012 then.

fucktoyprincess -> RE: The ultimate "Sour Grapes" (12/23/2012 6:45:15 PM)
omg....the ultimate in cognitive dissonance. They lost and can't handle it, so now they are saying that he never wanted it anyway. Laughable. And sad, in a way. If one is going to compete for things, one has to know how to gracefully accept defeat.

hlen5 -> RE: The ultimate "Sour Grapes" (12/23/2012 6:49:46 PM)
If he didn't really want it, why would he run? I felt kind of sorry for him in his "I lost" speech. Both he and McCain looked so hollowed out post election, I felt sorry for them. ETA: I think Mitt wanted to win just to acquire the title, not because he has any flaming ideals he wants to put into action. Mitt was in it for Mitt.

That was pretty much how it was with Dub-ya, too. Someone commented that there are leaders and there are rulers: Cheney-Bush didn't care about leadership, they just wanted to rule. That seems to be pretty much how the Radicals think any more. [sm=domme.gif]

I think Mitt was in a way in competition with his daddy. Mitt didn't really want to be governor of MA, either, as seen in that he pretty left office before his term was over and didn't run for re-election. He ran for governor because his daddy had been governor of MI. And he ran for president because his daddy failed to get the nomination. It took Mitt 2 tries to get the nom., so right there, he's out done daddy. Glad he's done. Hope to never see another Romney in public office anytime soon.

Romney is having a crisis of faith, he was under the delusion that god called him to be president. I will leave it at that.

subrob1967 -> RE: The ultimate "Sour Grapes" (12/23/2012 10:06:39 PM)
Can ya blame the guy? Not only do we have a fantastic President and Vice President, but he couldn't even convince 1/2 the GOP to vote for him.

SilverMark -> RE: The ultimate "Sour Grapes" (12/24/2012 8:11:23 AM)
He was only being altruistic...doing us all a favor by running, to lead us through the darkness set upon us by that Socialistic, Communist, Kenyan born black guy!

Moonhead -> RE: The ultimate "Sour Grapes" (12/24/2012 9:15:08 AM)
You forgot "muslim". [:D]

JeffBC -> RE: The ultimate "Sour Grapes" (12/24/2012 10:25:45 AM)
Perhaps in 2016 we should ask the Republican nominee right up front if they want the job and just save ourselves an election if they say "no".

tj444 -> RE: The ultimate "Sour Grapes" (12/24/2012 10:45:55 AM)
you know yet another Bush is talking about running in 2016... [sm=hewah.gif] I shall be gone well before then tho.. [:D]

Moonhead -> RE: The ultimate "Sour Grapes" (12/24/2012 11:05:49 AM)
Jeb? I thought the only reason the chimp was put forwards as a candidate was because Jeb was unelectable...

I seem to have a bit of a "Bush" phobia.. [:D] "But the most formidable -- and electable -- candidate for the Republican Party right now is former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steven-kurlander/jeb-bush-2016_b_2191384.html

Powergamz1 -> RE: The ultimate "Sour Grapes" (12/24/2012 4:51:20 PM)
Not Jeb, his son George Prescott. To lure those wily Hispanic voters into the regressive intolerant fold.
