BWHAHAHAHA: The Romneys Take Their Ball and Go Home, Claiming Mitt NEVER Wanted to be President





The new meme to come out of the Romney family is that Mitt never wanted to be President anyway, so fug you America! I guess it wasn’t “his turn” after all.


Yes, Tagg Romney told the Boston Globe that Mitt never wanted to president. He only ran for 6 years because he couldn’t find anyone as perfect as Himself to run. The brutal Republican primaries notwithstanding, we are to believe Romney never wanted it. It was, we’re told, Romney’s love of God and country that made him run.


He wanted to be president less than anyone I’ve met in my life. He had no desire to . . . run,” said Tagg, who worked with his mother, Ann, to persuade his father to seek the presidency. “If he could have found someone else to take his place . . . he would have been ecstatic to step aside. He is a very private person who loves his family deeply and wants to be with them, but he has deep faith in God and he loves his country, but he doesn’t love the attention.”

Well, that explains so much. I mean, remember when Mitt threw a fit because the crowd loved Ryan more than him?



Romney is introducing Ryan to the crowd and the crowd starts cheering spontaneously “Ryan, Ryan, Ryan!”
All is well! They crowd is fired up! This is the point, right? Right?

But then immediately the sun goes out.

Romney looks at the crowd and at Ryan and then he admonishes the crowd with his hand held up in the HALT position, “Wait a sec, wait a sec! Romney, Ryan, Romney, Ryan, Romney, Ryan.” (Emphasis Romney)

The crowd falls silent. They are not chanting Romney Ryan. Awkward.

Romney, befuddled, seems to think the crowd has complied, “There we go. That’s great.” Gesturing

confusedly back to Ryan, he says, “Thank you.”

I think they sent him out with the latest results of his father's passage through the intolerable grief of getting his ass kicked so badly by the unwashed Democrats and their perfidious tactics of vote-buying with bribes to dark-skinned freeloaders who should never have been granted suffrage in the first place.

about her husband's 'mental well-being'.

Apparently he'd spent seven years of his life trying to land a job he never wanted in the first place. Sure.

romney's "loss".. He never wanted it anyway.. just coasting along, spending a Billion bucks of the Plutocrats money for a job he didn't feel worthy. Wastrel.

Wonder how ol sheldon addelson feels about now? This is right up there with.. Pres Obama only got re-elected because of the "gifts".

Who are the romneys going to throw to the wolves next to assuage their savage jealousy?

However, if this is true then it makes me respect Mitt Romney even less. I hope he doesn't think saying this makes him look good. I think it makes him look ten times worse considering all the money and time spent on his stinkin' campaign.

... and spent millions of his own money in both primaries to crush anyone in his way.

If he really didn't want it, why didn't he spend all that time and money trying to help the GOP find the right guy?

If I really tried! The lament of the true under-achiever. How else can you explain the loss. They've tried it all. They cheated, they lied, and I didn't try. If I really wanted to win I would have kicked his ass. I was hoping that election night would have been the last time we heard from the Romney Clan. But it is kind of fun to hear the bad excuses.

Even a great deal of your own party voted for you reluctantly. So why you put everybody through the charade that was your campaign I really don't know, but either way, you are the most pathetic piece of shit that has ever run for that office.
