The slapstick comedy of how a self proclaimed successful businessman made a very bad, losing investment in himself.

I am sure his sons are crying over their watered down trust fund bowl of soup.

It is going to be interesting to watch the religious right do their contortions. I can also imagine (because I don't listen to or watch these folks) Limbaugh, Coulter and Hannity writhing in pain as the field narrows.

They're stuck. Either they sit on their hands (my choice for them) or put their muscle behind Huckabee, who doesn't have a chance in the world.

Yes, they are the perpetual fly in the ointment, always ruining things for the good people.

Like fundamentalist religion, right-wing politics always needs an enemy. The true believers have to define themselves in terms of who they are not. Perhaps just a little bit, this kind of rhetoric is starting to wear thin.

I think I am going to lose my lunch. What a crock of offal.

Sub-par amateur dramatics, at best. I bet he caused some awkward underpant stains in his audience, though, so it's not all bad.

"Because I love America ... I have to now stand aside" Mitt Romney tells attendees at a conservative conference that he's getting out of the presidential race in order to support the "war on terror."

Does this mean that Romney's kids will do their part in the alleged "War on Terror" by enlisting to fight in it instead of driving Daddy's bus?

Yeah, right!

Were it not for Bill and Hillary's support for Ted Kennedy in 1994, this stinker Romney would most likely be in his third term as Senator from Massachusetts. And here's old Teddy, out rabble-rousing for O'Bam-Bam. "Surrender to the terrorists". Words just fail me.

AP is now reporting that Romney has re-entered the race!

my teeny tiniest violin!

Watch this blog for more spin than a Maytag running on 440 volts:

Kathryn Jean Lopez will be licking the inside of a tequila bottle tonight.

He knows that they are going to likely lose the nomination or even the presidency. Getting out now makes him a team player. Saves him like 10m. And positions him as a future player.

What a hot steaming pile of bull.

Just think, that phony pile of excrement wanted to, and had the money to, become the president of the United States.

I must go vomit now.

Because I love America ... I have to now stand aside

I believe what he meant to say is:

Because America does not love me ... I have to now stand aside

for their faith in the creator and solid families; no more 'heretical' than mormons

You got that right, Hell's Liberal: Obviously now, all five of Annie and Mittie's little boys are free of patriotic (campaign) commitments and thus can march right down to the local recruiting station and sign up for that military duty that they all somehow managed to avoid — and which their dad said he very much regretted missing out on.

I, for one, volunteer to send a care package of playing cards, video games, Boston Red Sox souvenirs, candy, sunscreen, scrap metal (for improvised body armor, since the Bush Administration doesn't see fit to adequately equip our troops), and other essentials to the first one of the Mittboys who ends up serving in Iraq.

Glad to see that Mitt's still going to support the war on terror. Now that the campaign is over, the kids are free to join up and fight, too. Go for it!

Romney's presentation should remind them that there is a difference between Democrats and Republicans. Not voting for the Democratic presidential candidate this fall because they aren't your favorite is a great way to ensure continued foolishness at the national level, for years to come.

You see we're all missing out on a good Daddy in the house. When you get right down to the core of the far right's motivation, it's all about women running around breeding without the consent of God - the biggest, smartest, Dad - and His earthly representative, Daddy-Rom.

There was enough red meat in that speech for a wal-mart sized butcher shop. I don't know if it is more disgusting that Willard can say such things, or that the rabid conservative crowd can cheer them.

Nasty, hate-filled people.

Diebold needs the extra time to fix the voting machines so that every third vote for the democratic goes to McCain.

He was a lousy presidential candidate, in the end, but he really is an exceptionally good businessman. Bain Capital's a tremendous, and tremendously profitable, organization, and it's largely Romney's creation.

Uh no!?

So much for supporting the war on terror.

In celebration of this auspicious day, I am watching three websites dedicated to pornography, reading my favorite fantasy (King James version), and liberally using every so-called obscenity that comes to mind while I seek to find a lovely woman who would like to join me in further carnal expressions of this glorious day! Amen!

Wow! I had no idea that Welfare was behind people have children out of wedlock. I thought it was Brad and Anglina. Shows what a deluded liberal I am.

God, that is disgusting,,,,

I am surprised how mean the writers can be even when someone is bowing out. Even if you don't agree, you could give someone credit for their pain being heartfelt. I guess we only feel some people's pain. Tolerance is tolerance for all -not just people you agree with.

What a revolting, hateful speech.

I'm with those of you who want to see him put his money -- and his life -- where his mouth is and have those five healthy sons of his off to Iraq. Himself too, while he's at it, since the whole purpose of his existence now is to continue the "War on Terror." Until some member of the Romney clan is in uniform, he is a tremendous hypocrite.

"Because I love America ... I have to now stand aside"

I think that John Lennon prophesied Mitt Romney, around the time Romney's dad was (not) marching with King:

"He's a real nowhere man, sitting in his nowhere land

making all his nowhere plans for nobody"
