Mitt Romney Signs Voter Registration Form as an ‘Independent’

There goes Mitt Romney again.

Mitt Romney, whose name keeps popping up as a possible three-time presidential candidate, would be wise to read legally binding documents before signing them, as demonstrated by a Utah voter-registration gaffe that appeared to have him shunning his Republican Party for independent status and using a home address he couldn’t legally claim since 2009.

The suspect voter-registration form popped up in Summit County, where County Clerk Kent Jones provided it Thursday to The Salt Lake Tribune in response to a public-records request.

A copy of the form shows Romney’s signature with his old address listed in two places beside warnings that providing false information on the registration document is a misdemeanor violation of Utah law.

It turns out Romney, who is moving to Utah as a full-time resident, strolled into a driver license office in late August to obtain his Utah license and filled out paperwork to register to vote at his under-construction home in Holladay, a suburb of Salt Lake City. But, apparently because of outdated information in the agency’s database, the pre-printed form listed Romney’s former Park City address on Rising Star Lane and with no party affiliation. Romney signed it.

Jason Chaffetz Believes That Two-Time Loser Mitt Romney, Is Running For President

Chris Matthews of MSNBC actually made some news Monday night. He did not beat up on the president. And that in itself is amazing providing that of lately, the Hardball host has been on a personal vendetta it seems, to help bolster the Republican’s talking points.

Oh, and Matthews made another set of news. In an interview with Republican Congressman Jason Chaffetz and Democratic Congressman Elijah Cummings, Matthews asked Chaffetz his opinion on whether two-time loser Mitt Romney is running for president a third time. Chaffetz answered with no doubt in his mind that Mitt Romney is in deed, running!

Chaffetz even went as far as predicting that in 2016, the Flipper will be the next president of the United States.

Video Of Another Republican Putting Down the 47%

Let’s play a guessing game. Remember when a Republican candidate dissed half of America by putting down #the 47%?”

Who said these words?

“I see something that frankly doesn’t surprise me, having been on Ways and Means Committee: 47 percent of all Americans pay no federal income tax.  I’m guessing that most of you in this room are not in that 47 percent — God bless you — but what that tells me is that we’ve got almost half the population perfectly happy that somebody else is paying the bill, and most of that half is you all.”

“I submit to you that there is a political strategy to get slightly over half and have a permanent ruling majority by keeping over half of the population dependent on the largesse of government that somebody else is paying for,”

Wrong. I know you said Mitt Romney, but this quote is not the infamous Romney quote from his failed 2012 run for the presidency. This quote was said by Bob Beauprez, a Republican candidate for governor in Colorado.

These people just love putting down the 47%!

So Now Mitt Romney Wants The 47% Moochers To Get a Raise

Sidenote: It is becoming more and more apparent that Mitt Romney is attempting another run for the presidency in 2016. For those keeping count, 2016 would be his third run.

Remember the 47%? They are the ones who sank Romney battleship in the 2012 presidential election. Realizing his mistake, Romney is now trying to change his tone just in case 2016 is a go.

“I, for instance, as you know, part company with many of the conservatives in my party on the issue of the minimum wage. I think we ought to raise it,” he said. “Because frankly, our party is all about more jobs and better pay.”

The 47 percent were called moochers by Mitt Romney. According to the man who was the Republican’s choice for president in 2012, these 47% or moochers are those “who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it.” 

Mitt Romney is also the man who bought businesses, fired the employees of those business, burden those businesses with debt and then liquidate those businesses, walking away with huge profits. It’s called being a venture capitalist and Mitt Romney the god of the vultures!

Sounds kind of crazy and disingenuious listening to him now talk about giving members of 47% a raise!

Once Again, Obama Slams Romney on Russia

Mitt Romney seems to have all the answers, except how to win an election or how to accept the reality that he lost and bow out gracefully.

The two-time loser jumped at the opportunity to attack President Obama on his handling of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He actually called the president naive.

Said Romney on a Sunday talk show;

“There’s no question but that the president’s naivete with regards to Russia, and his faulty judgment about Russia’s intentions and objectives, has led to a number of foreign policy challenges that we face.

“And unfortunately, not having anticipated Russia’s intentions, the president wasn’t able to shape the kinds of events that may have been able to prevent the kinds of circumstances that you’re seeing in the Ukraine, as well as the things that you’re seeing in Syria.”

Back in 2012 while he was running his failed campaign for president, Romney called Russia “our number one geopolitical foe.” For that statement, Romney took some well deserved criticisms from the president and he appeared weak on foreign policy like someone with no knowledge of what they speak, almost reminiscent of Sarah Palin.

This was Romney’s chance vindicate himself, to tell everyone that he was correct in calling Russia our number one foe. But again, he got slammed by the President.

“With respect to Romney’s assertion that Russia is our number one geopolitical foe, the truth of the matter is that America has a whole lot of challenges. Russia’s actions are a problem. They don’t pose the number one national security threat to the United States. I continue to be much more concerned when it comes to our security with the prospect of a nuclear weapon going off in Manhattan.”

Time to have a seat Romney, this match was over almost two years ago.

Mitt Romney Organizing Get Together For Former Campaign Staffers

What is Mitt Romney up to? The Washington Post is reporting that the former Republican presidential loser has scheduled a meeting with his former campaign aides. They’re calling the meeting a “ski trip.”

The 2012 Republican presidential nominee has invited his debate prep advisers and senior campaign aides to his mountaintop chalet in Park City, Utah, for a weekend of skiing later this month, according to two people close to Romney.

The reunion of Romney’s political brain trust comes amid a burst of positive buzz about the former Massachusetts governor — from favorable reviews of “MITT,” the Netflix documentary about his campaigns, to chatter among some powerful GOP donors about another Romney presidential campaign in 2016.

But Romney has been adamant in saying he will not run for president a third time. And his aides insisted this month’s reunion in Park City is not a 2016 strategy session.

“It’s really informal,” said a Romney aide, who requested anonymity to discuss the reunion. “The Romneys invited a few campaign friends out to Utah to ski for the weekend.”

Asked if there would be any political strategizing, the aide wrote in an e-mail, “Purely recreational. No ‘strategizing.'”

It’s Possible – Yet Another Mitt Romney Presidential Run in 2016

Ask Mitt Romney if he would run for president a third time, and he will deny it every which way.

“I’ve had my turn,” he told CNN.

“We’re so ready to watch the next person step up and take that nomination,” his wife told Fox News. “Oh, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no,” Romney told The New York Times.

But in recent weeks, a strange thing has happened: Some supporters and donors, pollsters and pundits are starting to suggest — without irony — that the former Massachusetts governor run for president in 2016.

“Once a month, someone would e-mail or call and say he should run again,” said Ron Kaufman, a longtime Romney adviser. “Now I get it every day — from the grass roots, and from donors. I get it every day.”

Kaufman made clear that there was no behind-the-scenes maneuvering to persuade Romney to run again. A second Romney adviser said he was also approached frequently by former supporters and donors, asking him to persuade Romney to run again in 2016.

Those close to Romney say he is giving the talk little thought, and party operatives in key states and some of his former advisers say they cannot imagine a scenario in which he would run.

“He’s made it pretty clear he will strongly support whoever the 2016 nominee is,” Romney’s oldest son, Tagg, said in an e-mail to the Globe. “This isn’t something we are spending any time thinking about. Chatter is just chatter.”

And yet the former candidate who rarely gave interviews during the 2012 campaign and laid low for the year following his defeat is now suddenly everywhere.

There’s the new “MITT” documentary on Netflix, which was a well-received portrayal of the candidate and inner workings of his losing campaign.

He did a “slow jam” of the news with late-night comedian Jimmy Fallon, displaying a looseness and a wry humor he rarely let show in public. He showed up at the Super Bowl (“It’s great to . . . come in here and celebrate a great sport,” he said). He was recently on CNN discussing the Olympics, and on Fox News talking about health care.

And on Sunday he’ll be on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” his second appearance on the show in the past three months.

Romney’s public relations makeover and higher profile have come at a time when mainstream Republicans are searching for a strong party patriarch. Some party activists blanch at the prospect of a presidential field dominated by Tea Party movement favorites like Senators Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul of Kentucky.

Breaking News: Lying Mitt Romney Says Chris Christie is Telling The Truth – Video

What If a known liar tells you that the sky is falling, would you look up to verify?

What if he tells you that on the President Obama’s watch we have lost jobs. Would you believe him or would you check the recorded facts showing that under this president we have gained almost 10 million jobs so far?

And what if that same liar told you that he believes Chris Christie is telling the truth about Bridgegate? Would you believe him?

Those are some of the questions to ask yourself as you watch Mitt Romney in this recent interview on CNN.

Mrs Romney to Americans – You Guys are All Losers

You guys are a bunch of losers. Tough luck, that you missed out on having Mitt treat you and the country as one of his Bain Capital victims.

Sidenote: Parden my interpretation, but when Mrs Romney (sorry, I cannot remember her first name and I have no time to go look it up. It’s really not that important.) went on Fox News and declared that America lost out because Mittens did not win the presidency, that is what came to my mind.

This is what she said. “I really believe this, you know, we lost, but truly the country lost by not having Mitt as president.”

Did You Know Mitt Romney Is Being Sued on Racketeering Charges In Federal Court?

One of the most ignored stories in the mainstream media will surely be coming to a television screen near you once the court proceedings commence. That lawsuit is none other than racketeering charges leveled against one Willard “Mitt” Romney and his co-defendants in Haas v. Romney.

Filed on October 18 in Los Angeles, CA, in an ironic twist of fate it was decided on November 6, the one-year anniversary of Romney’s loss to Barack Obama, that the lawsuit could go forward.

eToys executive Steven “Laser” Haas and his company, Collateral Logistics, Inc., was the court appointed fiduciary charged with overseeing the liquidation of eToys. Haas filed the suit after discovering multiple frauds while in the process of liquidating the company. In his affidavit to the Securities and Exchange Commission dated August 3, 2012, Haas charges, among other things, that he was offered $850,00 by Bain Capital to keep quiet about irregularities he uncovered.

He is suing the defendants for $100 million in an effort to recoup the losses incurred by him and the other victims of the alleged fraud.

Several steps are necessary as the lawsuit goes forward. In a lengthy and sorely in need of an editarticle written by Haas for the Daily Kos, he lists the procedural necessities:

Haas notes that the Court denied his request for the U.S. Marshal’s Office to serve the summons on legal grounds, but that notwithstanding, the case will go forward. It is up to Haas to find the means to have the summons served to the parties involved by February 16. He is gleeful at the prospect.

There are allegations of murder and mayhem in addition to the breaking of federal racketeering laws.

The case number is 2:13-cv-07738 and will be tried in the Los Angeles Division of the Federal District Court, located on Spring Street in downtown Los Angeles.

Stay tuned.
