“I LOVE NIKKI HALEY”
By FITSNews || For reasons surpassing understanding there are those who continue to believe Mitt Romney is a credible presidential candidate.
No really … these people subscribe to the rudimentary logic that because Barack Obama has been such a colossal failure in office, Romney is somehow vindicated (and Romney is fueling the fire with his own comments as well as artfully worded denials of his interest that don’t expressly rule out a 2016 bid).
Anyway … we’ve said plenty about Mitt.
This post is about Ann Romney, who weighed in recently on the 2016 presidential race during an interview with Fox News’ Neil Cavuto.
According to Mrs. Romney, her husband would consider running in 2016 if former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush – another favorite of the “Republican” establishment – declined to run.
“I think Jeb probably will end up running myself,” Ann Romney told Cavuto. “he’s probably looking at it very carefully right now.”
Romney also said she hoped more women would participate in presidential politics – specifically encouraging S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley and New Mexico Gov. Susanna Martinez to run.
“I wish I could see some women out there,” Romney said. “I love Nikki Haley … I’d love to see more women participate.”
Haley, of course, endorsed Mitt Romney in the 2012 “First in the South” presidential primary – only to see him finish a distant second to former U.S. Speaker Newt Gingrich in the Palmetto State.
If Haley were to take Ann Romney up on her advice, it would turn the traditional Republican presidential calculus on its head – not just because Haley is a female (and a minority), but because she’s governor of a state that wields disproportionate influence on the GOP nominating process.
Could Haley survive the national vetting associated with a credible candidacy for president? It’s unclear …
Her national star has been on the wane a bit in recent months due to a host of scandals in the Palmetto State, although she’s expected to cruise to reelection in November regardless.

She can have Nikki Haley!
“Would you like that gift wrapped, ma’am?”
“yes, and can I get it delivered? I just had the car washed.”
F#*K THAT!
“…I wish I could see some women out there,” Romney said. “I love Nikki Haley … I’d love to see more women participate….”
Proving two things:
1. The carpet matches the drapes
and
2. Blondes really are dumb.
If Ann is dumb for suggesting Haley run for higher office what is voting for Haley in November going to say about you? Don’t give me she the best of a bunch of losers argument, no way any of the others could be as bad as her.
Sorry – best of the worst is the answer. The race is between Haley and Sheheen – all the rest are a distraction at best.
Here are your options:
Nikki Haley (R)* – a mediocre gubernor of known foibles
Vincent Sheheen (D) – State Sen., Ex-State Rep., Attorney polling 10 points behind Haley at this point – a big tax and spend guy, part of the problem, not part of the solution
Steve French (Libertarian) – Fryer Oil Recycling Business Owner no money ($15,000 in contributions, $1,200 spent), no chance
Morgan Reeves (United Citizens) – Land Clearing Contractor, Pastor, Ex-Pro Football Player & ’10 Nominee – no money (literally), no chance. Were you even aware he was running?
Tom Ervin (Independent) – Ex-Circuit Judge, Attorney, Radio Station Owner & ’05 State Rep. Candidate he’s brought in less than $70,000 and spent a million and a half to garner less than 10% of the vote – no chance
Rhys Sage (Write-In) – Photographer no money, no chance. Were you even aware he was running? http://paper.li/GovSage/1408114621
It boils down to two choices:
1. Cast a vote and make excuses
or
2. Crawl under a rock and die.
How comfortable is it under the rock?
Saddam lived quite well under one for a while.
The world is a much better place without him….
actually, I mean Mitt Romney.
“Which do you want? A “strong man” – dictator – or incremental steps towards World War III?”
“I’ll take what’s behind door number three, please, Bob”
We saw how that turned out…
So are you saying that the “good people” will come pull us out of our hole, force us to vote, then hang us?
hang us?
——
I thought the plan beyond the purple fingers was to have us rounded up every night and killed by drilling holes in our head, and leaving us in the dumpster for morning pick-up… then, when all of the infrastructure and government is totally corrupt, and dysfunctional, leave us defended by trained cowards.
Then, after destabilizing our neighbors, and arming them so that they stream across the border to kill what’s left of us, we are granted the same tactics to save us that failed in Viet Nam – war from the air.
After the destruction caused by bombing non-state actors in all of our major cities, we should be softened up well enough for the puppets sent to “rebuild.”
That way, we can fulfill the PNAC’s original prescription – creative destruction, paving the way for the westernization democratization of the Middle East.
it’s all right here in the plan.
[making excuses for not knowing]
Why did you go through all this?
You are voting for NIKKI Haley for a very simple reason.
She is the Republican candidate and you are a Republican.
Man up man and cut the BS!
Obviously from the intelligent responses, “she’s a republican” is as good a reason to vote for her as “he’s not Haley” is a good reason to vote for Gilligan. Voting for any of the rest is simply an exercise in futility.
I put up factual information and got the usual stupidity in response. So tell me, who should we vote for and why?
Yeh yeh yeh
Same old Republican BS.
Why do you go through all this crap?
Find you a “conservative?” What the Hell does that mean?All ever see is all you Republicans dngaging in increasingly esoteric arguments over ones”degree of conservatism.”it’s much ado over nothing.
Bottom line is you are a Republican and are voting for the Republican.
Shats amusing is that you apoarentky think I am being critical.Im not really.Just noting how you are jerking around trying to “rationalize “your vote,
Be a damn PROUD REPUBLICAN man and cut the BS!
THANK GOD FOR NIKKI HALEY,
Mercy!
And again, so much bovine excreta and no real reason to vote for anyone.
It would be extremely hard to vote for anyone who has Dem. behind his name. Hell, I just can’t do it. I did it one time but I asked for forgiveness. Still have an occasional nightmare about it.
The mere fact that you can minimize the data breach at DOR and the deaths of children under DSS care shows just how drunk you are on the Haley Kool-Aid.
One again, the system that was breached predates Haley’s administration by more than ten years. She delayed notification because SLED told her to. I have not seen a certified report indicating anyone was permanently harmed. The DSS mess is troubling but nothing new.
As I have said before, nothing Haley could ever do or not do would ever keep you from voting for her. There mere fact that you seek to minimize her epic failures at her cabinet agencies speaks volumes as to your ability to she her for what she is.
Have you ever heard her once accept one ounce of responsibility for any of these failures?
Yeppers. I’ve dealt with women and men with years of time sitting in a classroom, eventually acquiring master degrees, etc, but still very stupid and out of touch with the real world. Over the years, I have come to conclude that Haley is not cut out to be a leader. Anyone with true wisdom would agree, that she just doesn’t have it in her.
This is a joke , right? Ann needs to get some help.
Nikki running for President would be great for SC, though bad for the nation.(assuming she actually won)
Nikki running for President would be great for SC
——-
Sort of like making the whole state into a fishery… it might stink, but at least it’ll smell like good, old-fashioned fish!
Well, I was suggesting that our gain(Nikki being gone), would be the US’s loss(now she gets to fuck up on a national scale).
But I see your point about Nikki being like smelly fish….I think.
I should have said “the whole nation.” Being around all these Republicans, it won’t be long before I can no longer match tense, number and gender.
ahh, I understand now…my guess is that her capacity for turning things into smelly dumps might be tempered by the sheer size/scope of the job nationally, versus her ability to do it on a smaller scale.
But, I could be wrong.
You’re over thinking it.
Do you really think she could screw it up more than the Bozo that is currently doing it?
Do you doubt that? Look at the laundry list of disasters in state during her reign and ask yourself that question again.
Look, that being said, it really doesn’t matter which bozo gets into office next. He’s(or she) captain of the Titanic, hopeing to keep her afloat long enough to collect the ship jewels and get the fuck out of there while telling the band to continue playing for the passengers.
Fed chair is in the same spot too. I haven’t decided yet if she’s 2nd in command or the puppet master.
*hoping
Could Haley survive the national vetting associated with a credible candidacy for president?
Sure she can. Just like Sarah Palin.
Good point.
However, do you really believe she was thoroughly vetted?
YOU BETCHA!
I guess the Romney’s are making sure we remember how out of touch with everyday Americans they are?
I think FITS is conceding the election way too early. Most voters are just starting to pay attention. Haley’s plus is that she is a Republican. Her minus is that she has been a terrible governor. Sheehen like any Democrat has a base in the 40%s. Ervin’s TV has been terrific and his numbers should keep going up. French has gotten no traction. So, in a three way race like this, Haley could lose. My suggestion is that FITS put a sock in it. Let’s see how the next few weeks play our.
Romney is still an arrogant prickess!
She’s a lady! She brushes her teeth after Republicans have their way with her.
—- “Could Haley survive the national vetting associated with a credible candidacy for president?”
Obama did.
And she wouldn’t. Obama is a better candidate than Haley, regardless of your political opinions. In my opinion, anyone planning to vote for this corrupt administration to continue 4 more years needs to stay home on election day and pray about why they are so gullible and brainwashed.
You might as well get use to it. She will be back for another four.
Told ya so. Running in the primary would be a sure bet she will be someone’s VP. If no primary bid, a cabinet position. Millennial have to understand something. They are new to our nation, and frankly, ain’t been right about anything so far. I think it might be the vaccines or GMO foodstuffs. Hmmm, maybe the junkfood, recreational drugs, and recreational sex fried their receptors? The tail end of the Boomers scored higher on the SAT’s and wrote flag etiquette. Millennials would be clueless without us.
America hates the Bush name. So another Bush is suicide. As to Haley, if you want a real clueless bozo at the helm, then Haley is your gal. Vote for her. But she will never make it that far anyway. Too much dirt and quite a lengthy list of incompetence to sink her battleship in the first round.
However, I will assert that NIMRATA is nowhere near as STUPID as Sarah.
YOU BETCHA!
I had to let go of that thought path. It was giving me a colossal headache.
it hurts not to think, doesn’t it?
..even when it’s in a hypothetical.
Yes, euwe max! It’s worse than an ice cream headache and it lasts longer, too.
And certainly not as bad as Joe Biden.
Senator Tim Scott would make for an excellent president.
The nation can’t afford his dental plan.
…so I guess this means Mormons *do* smoke crack.
South Carolina may be stupid AF to vote for this lady, but on a national stage she would get eaten alive.
I trully wish NIMRATA could garner the nomination.
Hillary would eat her alive!
And Slick Willy would enjoy watching.
Turds of a feather stink together.
It’s a good thing two women can’t reproduce by themselves.
I would watch these two try.
Add Sarah, Michelle Bachmann, and that little “witch’ from Delaware!
put them all on a bed, turn on a web cam and throw in a kielbasa?
I think that is a magnificent Idea. In fact, why doesn’t Nikki announce her campaign today and let us find another Republican to take her place in SC Government? Marvelous Ann! We’ll take it. Oh and good luck to Nikki for President! She’s sure to win.
WINK!WINK!
I always thought Ann Romney was batshit crazy. She has just confirmed it!
The only way the Democrats could get luckier in 2016 would be with the nomination of Sarah Palin.
Every time I hear about an attempt to jump the fence and rush the White House with a rubber knife, I hurry back here to see if Damned Tango is still posting.
Oh dear God!………. Please NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonder how she felt about Nikki when she endorsed Mitt and then disappeared for two weeks while Newt coasted to victory the SC primary? Or when Mitt was photographed with his hand on her (formerly) shapely rear end, firmly enveloped by her Exotica Bubble Butt Blue Dress, now (sadly) retired to the closet of clothes that no longer fit the bulging ass/midsection of the (formerly) naughty but now just banal Mrs. Haley…
Where have you gone, Nikki? Where is the sultry yet flat chested milf who made out with Will Folks in the front seat of her Caddilac SUV at a public park after a few too many vodka tonics and political gossip? Where is the lonely insatiable wildcat of a housewife who stayed on the cell phone for hours in 2 a.m. “strategery sessions” because the days were too full of children and family and illegal lobbying for Lexington County Hospital? Where is the size 4 boyshorts sporting minx who cast care aside to dance the wild fandango with an effeminant lobbyist after closing down a Minnesota speakeasy?
I miss our sexy sassy “you can’t prove it” Governesss. Where are the fires of youth? Gone, gone with the wind…
If she ain’t governor, and he ain’t play soldier, maybe she can starve herself back into shape.
Romney also said she hoped more women would participate in presidential politics – specifically encouraging S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley and New Mexico Gov. Susanna Martinez to run.
“I wish I could see some women out there,” Romney said. “I love Nikki Haley … I’d love to see more women participate.”
So long as they are of the right party…
Wow, the Republicans are more desperate than I thought!
So they didn’t learn with Sarah Palin?! F’ing idiot.
A 43 years old woman of color and a republican president of the USA?
