Romney is best candidate in my life time, IMO. I'd vote for him again in a heart beat.

Based off what exactly? His unprincipled flip-flopping? Because he appears polished? Romneycare? His apparent urge to battle with China? Mormonism? Or let me guess, because he's privately wealthy, that makes him qualified?

Yeah, it's easy to forget your guy has warts too when all you do is bitch about the other guy.

He was/is much more qualified and would have likely been a much better President than Obama and and would be a better choice than Hillary IMHO.

He has succeeded in multiple executive roles and has strong family/ moral compass. He also appears to have a strong grasp of international politics. I don't really care if someone changes positions as long as it's based on facts and experiences.

I see him more as a cabinet secretary. Give him whichever one is the biggest cluster, and let him go to town.

While I agree with you that you can grow as a person and change your views, I highly doubt Romney gained enough world experience to warrant a 180 over the course of a few months.
I won't get into my feelings on his "moral compass", but I will say that yes, he was successful in executive roles. But that is only a small fraction of what I want out of a President. Above all, I want someone that is principled and consistent, where any given situation will be thought out in the same parameters as the last. Romney doesn't have a history of this.
According to your parameters, Gary Johnson would have been a better pick. Not only did he have a history of success in executive roles with a strong moral fiber, he was also principled and consistent.

Ok, I guess I missed something. How was Romney cheated in 2008? In politics, telling lies is not cheating. Its known as "business as usual".

It was supposed to be random, the list was intended to be all over the place. Me, personaly, I don't care about their faith in religion, regardless of what it is. I was just trying to squeeze reasons why he was the perfect candidate.

Sure, Ron Paul or Gary Johnson both had equal accomplishments. Both started companies/practices from the ground up. Johnson's went from a company of just himself, to one that brought in $38 million with over 1,000 employees. Paul had a private practice that never took a penny from federal health benefits - he offered them free of charge.
But of course, I value consistent principles. Some don't, I understand that. Neither Paul/Johnson had the silver spoon to run to.

No dumbass, his vote had zero bearing on the electoral college distribution in LA.

No I didn't, dumbass. I voted for Gary Johnson, dumbass. Romney won my state anyway, dumbass. Your vote for Bush is what gave us the political climate necessary for an Obama victory, dumbass.
But keep on pretending that blindly voting Team Red will change things, ... you get the idea...

Then you must be a Democrat - it the only way they know how to campaign.
Lying is wrong - morally and ethically. Politically it is poison for a GOP to be caught in a lie, but it is basic strategy for a DEM.
Romney was cheated the same way LSU gets cheated when they play Alabama with that bug-eyed referee carrying their water.
My opinion.
Feel free to disagree.

Its easy to have consistent principals when you don't care about winning. What is Ron Paul's actual accomplishment?
