TPMtv: Mittpocalypse Now

[GlobalSufi]

I can't wait for this turd-brain to run again - this video will be in every opponent's Ad schedule...

He is saying that if he runs again, the US has LOST the war on terror!!

[janegodlove]

Google Jeff Fisher Peace on Earth Forever and everyone please take it to the streets and all try to come to Philadelphia USA and fill the city up by the millions of protestors and peace lovers.

[AlbaGoBragh]

I would just like to say thank you for helping destroy the only true conservative in this race. Thank you for giving Republicans a man who reaches left but never reaches right. Thank you for giving us a man who admittedly does not understand the economy when we are in the beginnings of a what looks like a nasty recession.

Thank you for helping ruin the character of what would have been America's best chance out of this recession just because you hate his religion.

[freedomman121]

Romney destroyed himself. Too many Americans saw through is lies, flip-flops, and insincerity.

I looks like the start of a depression. But we have a Ron Paul. The only true conservative in the race. He has genuine knowledge of economics and monetary policy, and is not just a business and stock market gamer like Romney.

[Baroque1750]

This guy is a stupid liberal...that or intellectually dishonest.

[phil84109]

Romney governed as a conservative. Aside from abortion, he didn't change on any core principle. If you actually look at his record and not what the left wing pundits say, you'll find this is true.

To say he was as phony conservative is either uninformed or intellectually dishonest.

Once he knew his chances were slim, he did the honorable thing and bowed out to unite his party. Unlike Huckabee, he didn't stay in to advance himself politically.

[larma7]

Maybe he wanted to stop spending all of his money(which was smart).

[OFthePeople]

9/11 was a inside job. controlled demoltion brought down wtc twin towers + building 7 at 5

:24pm,...9/11 was treason, not terrorism....theose builings were blown...and george bush is the "perceived hero", fix the diebold voting fraud

[automaticx1]

and the government administered aids too right? hmm..

[mvertigo16]

the funniest thing is, had romney known a more moderate position would have gotten him the nomination, he wouldn't have been championed as the "conservative's conservative" at all. he was willing to change his mind on anything to win. do conservatives not see that?

[nicholsfam]

This video is silly. Of course Romney's money has always been an issue and his lack of victories in key states was obviously part of the decision but as he said he doesn't want to delay the general election campaign and he agrees with McCain on the most urgent issue. So what? And he governed consistently conservative in a blue state. Just because he changed his mind on one issue doesn't mean he's a hypocrite. Also, CPAC is no more polarizing than the DailyKos socialist nanny-state hoe-down.

[loya2]

He is like typical evil character on a hollywood movie

[J1Goro]

Idiots that think Liberals are better make me chuckle.

[J1Goro]

Stop supporting haters that support apartheid israel. Hillary and Obama both support apartheid israel. It's not only about oil. Please read, " The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy," by Mearsheimer and Walt.

[J1Goro]

Stop supporting wars based on lies like Veracifier does.

[UNKNOWNPOW]

"Because I love America..."-What a joke! Mitt Romney is so blind and completely contradicts the core values of a conservative Republican. Mitt Romney proposed to safe-guard illegals and continue war-what a respectable canditate! You have no allegiance to America but your special interest groups, corrupt lobbyists, and corporate sponsors!

[moofph]

...who is mitt romney?

[Desnoxvu]

good men cannot stand up to great men like Ron Paul

[spudea]

Mitt is not a social conservative or a fiscal conservative. Good Riddance.

[rivarbob]

mitt should have won

[BostonBeatnik]

Oh show me, the way to the next Ron Paul vote. Oh, we must go. Oh, we must go. Yes show me the way to the next Ron Paul vote. Oh, we must go. Oh, we must go. FOR if we don't find, the next Ron Paul vote. America goes broke. America goes broke. America. America. America goes broke......

[nespokesman]

In case you don't know.....

1. McCain is looking like the sure thing right now.

2. He fully supports this "war" and Bush's ideology.

3. He says he is going to stay in this war as long as it takes to "win".

4. America is in a suffocating debt largely because of this war and a continuation means certain downfall.

5. The economy drops daily fraction by fraction.

So yes, Ron Paul is pretty much done as people say constantly now and if our buddy McCain is true to his word America does go broke.

[BostonBeatnik]

Ron Paul is not done.

They said Ron Paul was done a year ago when Rudy was the favorite. Now Rudy is out.

Then they said Fred Thompson was the front runner. He's out.

Then Huckabee won Iowa. He was the tops then. He has never recaptured that moment and he's broke. He will be out soon.

Then Mitt Romney was the conservative darling, now he's out.

Finally, there's John McCain, the fake conservative and war monger. He will also fall.

Dr. Ron Paul is the real deal.

Ron Paul 2008!

[nespokesman]

All I can do now is hope that somehow you are right.

[move2montana]

Its a damn shame when people won't vote for this nice man because he wears maGic underwarE

[MKB2814]

Willard "Mitt" Romney

Glad this boil on the ass of life got lanced

[speakmymind01]

Look, Ron Paul, Its the messiah.

nespokesman, you've gotta give it up

[nespokesman]

So you are ok with Bush leaving all that unconstitutional power in the hand of a psycho like McCain? WTF is wrong with you?

This is end of rational thinking, the end.

This is the end of common Goddamn sense, the end.

This is the of Ron Paul's message forever, the end.

I would like give, you a hard blasted slap, the end.

[nespokesman]

This is the end of America as we know it. The end.

This is the end of the fawking economy. The end.

This is the end of national sovereignty. The end.

Say hello, to our new Chinese owners. The End.

Say hello, to the North American Union. The End

Say hello, to the Amero. The End.

This is the end of a prosperous life as we know it. The End.

Hillary and McCain can suck out my asshole. The End.

Ron Paul forever. The End.

[SabbathMobRules]

It's the end? so what the fuck are you worrying about this shit for? Wasn't Ron Paul on Rowan and Martin's Laugh In?

[nespokesman]

This is the end of fucking reason, the end.

[nothankyoumam]

Yep. As the riot honorable Mitt spoke, hic, I heared them violins playin', hic. Lord knows, sniff, sob, he done dropped out to save the country, god bless his conservative's conservative soul, sniff, sniff. Thanky Mitt, sniff. You'd a made a good'un, sniff, sniff. But I'm sure, sniff, sob, you'll find yer rightful place, hic, in that great pantheon of also-rans and losers. Goodbye Mitt. Sure was nice knowin' ya.

[bagey63]

He got beat by John McCain and, which is so obvious, bigots and Jesus freaks. Can't understand you didn't see that! You paintsprayed hair line gimpstick!

[emmaemlu1]

you're kidding, right?

[leepakim]

she is pretty.

[moejardines]

"An obsession with bipartisan compromise does not keep us free" - Laura Ingrahm

No, but it does deal with the reality of a situation where people must actually cooperate with people who have different opinions and interests. I love how McCain's villainized for not being an obstructionist.

[dalejan1]

the only evil is this man exists. to make a silly comments that no reasonable person would even think let alone sprew for public comsumption.

[fistnbone]

I wonder if his sons, now bereft of any obligation to campaign, will be going of to war to fight the terrorists...

[fistnbone]

Oh but wait... I wonder how he will be rewarded for greasing the doorway...

[wiskawind]

(fist) The only reward Mitt will get for this, is to save the rest of his fortune, and an ego rub; the others all hate him. Huckleberry wants the VP, so he can put a heretic on every cross, and a squirrel on every plate. (wink) Always room on the left with us "moonbats"; if ya feel like switching teams. (giggle)

[Jobediah]

The only thing sad about Romney dropping out now is that he can't blow his entire fortune and end up a toothless pauper on the street.

But, good riddance!

[eyewrenchee]

Hope Ron Paul now runs as an Independent and splits the Republican vote.

Let Dr Paul do a Ross Perot, I am counting on it.

[Tommil]

I have to quote Tbogg here:

"Shorter Mitt Romney withdrawal speech: Our country, our world, our culture, our existence face enormous threats. I quit."

[bastardcity]

Why are these people jeering Mcain when he is the clear republican frontrunner? I like Mcain simply for the fact that Fox news hates him, he must be doing something right.

[xSiberiaNx]

I lost 44 seconds of loaded video....and it took 5 minutes to load 44 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm watching another video.

[razachicano]

hahahahaha!!!! McCain wins!!! stupid fuckers!!

[eyewrenchee]

If people want a real Democrat in November I think they will be voting for Obama.

McCain is Republican light.

[lrn2wlk4life]

Other times this TPM guy is a real dk poke'n the sore spot of Mitt's selfless and gracious act. Now you listen pinko, this is Lieberman , Lamont, Zimmerman all over again, with Lamont as Barak and Zimmerman as Mitt. So we'll be kicking and spiting on your flag boy when he is taken out by the middle. Who is more Lieberman-like, Clinton or O'le Mac? You lose again in the end.

[tarvaries]

Mitt in 2012!!!!!!!! The Republican party is doomed without Mitt!! MITT will run again and win! MITT! MITT! MITT!

[TormentedByDemons]

Romney has spent more on advertising than all the other candidates combined! And he's won 53 silver medals! These dropout rumors are just a bunch of dirty tricks and shady back-door politics! Classic Washington-style pessimism!

[laleeloolelo]

Oh boy Tormie either your comment is a satire or you're really out of touch.

Washington Post Feb 7, 2008:

Romney Drops Out of GOP Race.

[TormentedByDemons]

It's satire. And I love it when you call me Tormie. ;)

[Riauw]

Sad that McCain has to suck up to the conservative loonies to get the nomination. If he's so hated why did he trump Romney in delegates.

[MarquisdeBarrabas]

McCain IS a conservative loonie. He's just not evil enough for the other loonies' taste.

[Whoo69]

I still can't quite make the connection here. Can someone tell me how a presidential candidate staying in the race until the nominee is officially picked is "helping the Democrats surrender to terror"??

[RaskaB420]

i think he's lost it or something. or just is trying to scare people into voting republican by using the word terrorist. "there terrorists so vote republican cuz if you don't were going to be ruled by terrorists".... idiotic.

[wiskawind]

LOL I saw that too. (grin)

[lrn2wlk4life]

Wahoo the author of this sleazy video is pretending not to know the obvious, that Mitt means that anything that strengthens the major candidate on the right is stronger on the war. he is sacrificing himself to his party's cause. it help the other side if our side is split.

[wiskawind]

The Republican Party is splintered, and crumbling. (smile)

[eyewrenchee]

What a way to blow 50 Million.

[cobwebhead]

Irn2 - The sad truth is that Iraq might lose us the war on terror. If you're interested in national security, vote Dem or Paul. We can't win this war with our military alone.

[laleeloolelo]

"that Mitt means that anything that strengthens the major candidate on the right is stronger on the war. he is sacrificing himself to his party's cause"

If it makes you happy to believe that then go ahead however if Mitt's really serious about sacrifice then how come NONE OF HIS FIVE SONS ARE IN THE SERVICE?!

[wiskawind]

(lalee) That is right; the elite always keep their own kids home. This wasn't a sacrifice, it was a business decision; he had spent too much money for what he had gained. The whole Republican Party has a cancer; it is rotting from the inside!

[imogapils]

More an expensive hobby than a business decision wouldn't you say?

[wiskawind]

(imoqa) LOL Yes, and I bet old Mitt is realizing that now too. (grin)

[Napstrpsx]

That's one of the scariest conventions I could think of. Sounded like a bunch of war-mongering apes.

[jonccatalena]

god these republicans are hanging each other.

[speakmymind01]

Hey Josh, Suck me bitch, I love how you call Romney a hypocrite, and how you mock us conservatives.

Also, Romney didn't win because the Conservative vote was split, and he got screwed in W.Virginia, you should know that, shouldn't you?

Oh wait, hate of Conservatives trumps common sense

[CuneytCin]

Thanks for displaying that classic conservative intellectual discipline.

Don't you have a couple of wars to lose?

[drmark1995]

Nice conservative FAMILY values illustrated by your mouth. Do you talk to your mother with that kind of language? Conservatives need to wake up and see the nation is MODERATE. You are not mainstream, my friend. Romney's lies and position changes are well documented, by the way.

[danthemango]

wow, romney looks more charismatic loosing than he does winning.

[stevenmirelague]

beware, this treacherous rodent is scurrying out now to make a run in 2012/2016. The "time of war" bit is fucking priceless, but at 2:14 when he says "I hate to lose" I laughed my ass off, he REALLY HATES TO LOSE, I thought he was going to either say it or scream and bite the podium.

[OfficialWench]

Laura: Yes, you deserved a candidate who espoused your ideals. You had such a candidate. He lost. That's the way democracy works. America, including most of your party, recognized he was a phony and voted for the other guy. Get over it.

[pezwookiee]

This is the end of the detention center at Guantanamo! McCain's not into it and the Democrats certainly don't want to continue it.

[vmarsch]

This is the end -- of the primacy of movement conservatism.

About time, too.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

What a bitter and negative speech from Ingraham.

All the Republicans have shown this year is hateful attitudes.

Glad I'm not one of them.

[leanderl]

I wonder if all the military aged guys in that crowd realize the profound irony in standing there and listening to mitt talk about 'surrendering to terror' by way of possibly letting the democrats have a leg up.

wait, let me answer that question myself. absolutely not a fucking snowball's chance in fucking hell.

[hamshow]

I just don't get it... Mitt Romney is nothing more then a flip-flopping phony !!! Why do these wing nuts fall in love with him. When he was Gov. of Mass. he sure wasn't saying these things..........

[Wendy62]

I am Mitt Romney, and I am noble. LOL

[jslion8]

(MRR) Mitt Romney Revolution- let get Mitt to change his mind!!!!!!! CUM BACK!

[bigge525]

CPAC:

C owardly

P ompus

A ssine

C o*ksuckers

[moikl]

brilliant. The most cretinous scumbag in this year's race is now out.

[vertigate]

Mitt's a bit of a comedian too.

[LetsGetGroovy]

No, mittens, noooooo!

[jmr6146]

So if Obama or Clinton wins, will the Romney boys be enlisting or doing something to prevent this surrender?

[givebirthathome]

What was that Romney said? "We cannot allow the next president of the United States to....interfere with war profits and global domination?"

Let's hope the most peaceful candidates get nominated-- Paul or Huckabee and Obama. Why does anyone think Hillary will be better at negotiating with Moslem or African men than Obama?

We sure are working hard though to make "evil extremism" more and more of a reality. See BBC doc "The Power of Nightmares".

[WadeBlazingame34]

Why'd you insert footage from the Slack-Jawed Yokel conference at Minute 1:56? I've never seen so many dumbfounded mouthbreathers.

[TheShock3r]

where is the ron paul speech

[RobertSeattle]

Mitt Romney is a "real" conservative? Bwa Ha Ha Ha. Right Wingers will fall for anyone who lie to them well.

[jackspicerisland]

Just look at those dull faces in the audience--they couldn't get hired to push a broom along the carpet at Chuck E Cheese. Faces right out of a Bruegel painting...

[MarquisdeBarrabas]

Great comment!

[safuna]

Yep, that's The End. Couldn't wish it on a nicer, more sincere guy.

[RecessMonkeys]

I don't get it. Do these right wing pundit-types desire self-immolation? Are they afraid of becoming redundant with a McCain campaign, and therefore prefer a Republican defeat? Curious indeed.

[voyzovrezon]

Maybe I'm just dense, but I don't get this logic. He's dropping out because he wants to win the war on terror? Um, wouldn't staying in be the way to go if he feels that way?

[Rudenewt]

Maybe if he never even ran we'd have won by now! Damn you Mitt Romney!

[RemiG2006]

Maybe the end for him but that was one of the best speeches he made during the race! -except for time of war and other BS .... since US is at continuous war with someone form the end of the IIWW!

[oldbaldy129]

Let's all hope that Sen. Obama is our next president.

[iamjackscolin]

I hate they way Reagan has been deified by this current campaign.

How could anyone possibly live up to Ronald Reagan?

[DamNationDiplomat]

Hmmm....by kicking mentally ill people out on the street, demonising foreigners who aren't really a threat, and letting the poor fight for scraps?

[snarkwaupaca]

IamJackscolin: How? Start multiple wars in central America? Run up the national debt? Spy on your own citizens? Give money to Islamo facists in Afganistan? So many ways I lose count.
