Thank you, Mitt Romney

Nov. 7, 2012 10:27am

While most of the focus of today will be on President Obama’s reelection victory, I want to take a second to acknowledge the immeasurable hard work and sacrifice of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.

I’ll admit it — Mitt wasn’t my guy in the primaries.  But when he secured the nomination, I put our few ideological differences aside to join him in supporting the many other things we have in common.  As the campaign went on, he grew on me — especially after he plucked Ryan from national obscurity and confronted serious issues lesser men would have never touched (ahem, Barack).  He ran a good campaign, a clean campaign.  While President Obama disgraced his office with mudslinging class warfare and immature name-calling, Romney kept his eye on the bigger picture: the future of our country.

At the end of the day, I respect Mitt Romney.  I’m proud to have been represented in this election by a man who carried himself with dignity, even when he faced vicious & narrow-minded attacks on his personal character, his work ethics and his faith.  And to the families of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, we also owe immense thanks — they have all sacrificed so much for the past 18 months, not for personal gain but for the good of our country.

Mitt Romney may have lost yesterday’s election, but as he said in his most gracious concession speech, he “left everything on the field.”  For that, we owe him our sincere gratitude.

Thank you, Mitt Romney

    Governor Romney,

    I was SO looking forward to calling you “Mr. President” and was confident I was going to do so.

    Thank you for clearly outlaying the choice for our country in this election. Millions of us agree with you. I was a volunteer in one of your utah campaign offices and many volunteers worked very hard for several months on your behalf.

    Thank you for the dignity, respect, and vision of the future you portrayed We the people needed your help desperately and may still need it, but in other ways.

    Thank you for standing up and referring to our constitution and the founding principles of our land as God inspired.

    Thank you for sacrificing all you did in an effort to help us out. We know you didn’t have any aspirations other than to serve. And that is one of the noblest qualities and individual could have.

    Again, Thank You and may God bless you and your family in future endeavors.

    We must resist all tempation to place any blame on Mitt. Secondly resist all temptation in believing the conservative movement is done. We did well again in the House and lost the Presidency by 2 million votes. 4 years ago the gop was in absolute tatters. We picked them up off the mat and told them to get back in there and fight! We knew 4 years ago that we needed to attract new non-traditional voters. But we could not do that until we righted the ship first. Mitt was attracting the attention of new voters until the storm. Trust me. We have their attention. We must continue to make our play while they are still looking back. The next two years are even more critical. Obama’s policies will be even more of a drag on our economy. Now is the time to show them why!

    Mr. Romney,

    Thank you so very much for allowing all of us to see what a true human being is like. May we all aspire to be the people you and your wife are.

    p.s.- I would have been PROUD to have you as my President!

    My thoughts exactly. Mitt wasn’t my guy at first but I came to see what a kind, sincere, selfless man he is. Thank you Mitt and Paul for your hard work and sacrifice.

    Thank you Mitt for your dedication to truth and the restoration of our American values. I feel that when the people forget who the true founder of our nation and constitution is then the people loose. But you didn’t loose, nor the people who voted for you.
    Men may fail in this country, earthquakes may come, seas may heave beyond their bounds, there may be great drought, disaster, and hardship, but this nation, founded on principles laid down by men whom God raised up, will never fail. This is the cradle of humanity, where life on this earth began in the Garden of Eden. This is the place of the new Jerusalem. This is the place that the Lord said is favored above all other nations in all the world. This is the place where the Savior will come to His temple. This is the favored land in all the world. Yes, I repeat, men may fail, but this nation won’t fail. I have faith in America; you and I must have faith in America, if we understand the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are living in a day when we must pay heed to these challenges. – Harold B Lee

    Thank you, Mitt Romney and family for running a clean, dignified campaign with class and honesty. I know you followed the spirit and your Heavenly Father is proud of the campaign you ran as well. Nothing at all to be ashamed of, and no regrets. You gave it all you had for this country and I salute you!

    Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan and your families: Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your courageous attempt at winning the presidency. I could not be more proud of you and I know that there are millions of true Americans who feel the same way. Please hold your heads proud and your hearts steady, you gave your all. This Vietnam veteran is proud to say “I voted for Mitt”.

    This blog post needs to be front and center on the main page.

    I join with all of you in saying “thank you” to Mitt Romney who truly did give it everything he had – even when he had nothing to gain from it. I too am glad that at least half of our Country voted for this great man of character.

      Thanks Mitt,

      I could not even begin to imagine the effort and resources required to do what you just did. To run a race across the entire country like you did, it made me proud.
      Thank you for your work, your wonderful family for their efforts, your election team and all the tireless GOP foot soldiers for a tough fight. Never, never, never, never give in…..

    This is my response to a poster called “know” about me not being a christian—–

    KNOW….I totally disagree with you…I believe in taking care of the poor and elderly but not those who think they are entitled to the gov’t taking care of them when they could go to work and take care of their families..I give to charities that help feed and clothe those who can’t take care of themselves and am blessed to be able to do that..I think the good people of America will always do that.. Yes, God says to give to Caesar what is Caesars BUT he also says to be a good steward of what you have…Obama has tripled the debt and will continue to spend us into oblivion without any thought of what this will do to our country or our kids future..to go to China for more and more money is wrong…I live on a strict budget or I would go bankrupt…Why doesn’t our country do the same? NO, our motto is now print money without any thought that it is backed up with nothing and that is wrong. If I did that , I would be put in jail because of writing HOT CHECKS…Where is Obama’s budget?? For four yrs he has not submitted one… Yes, I believe we must have a strong defense…look at 911…thousands died because terrorists took a chance on finding our weak spot…look now at what happened in Libya…we were warned about the security issues and ignored it leaving 4 people dead that were serving our country…the Obama administration could have helped them —there were troops available to go —G

      Post continued.
      -General Ham told the Pentagon he had a unit that be there in 2 hours but was told NO…stand down..the pres. and his advisers watched
      the attack in the situation room and continued to say NO…Gen. Ham was relieved of his duty because he said he was going to help anyway.. Obama and his group lied and lied about it being a video that caused the problem—then said it was spontaneous—then said it wasn’t terrorists—and then it was swept under the rug with more lies…I think God will hold those accountable for this…and we will just trudge on without anyone ever being held accountable. VERY SAD.
      I am a Christian…and I believe as a Christian we are to stand up for truth…and fight evil…I am more convinced than ever that Obama will make us a Socialists country and his agenda of making the “Dreams From My Father” come true. Have you read his book??? Did you take the time to go and see the “2016″movie? My guess is NO… I love America and thank God for the freedoms we have been blessed with.
      I will continue to love our country and pray for it and for Obama too…

    My sentiments exactly 1EPISTLE. Those of us who voted for him did so out of a love for our country. He and Ryan would have turned us away from following in the footsteps of Greece. Too many people who receive handouts view them as a sense of entitlement. Our focus now needs to be in fighting to preserve the U.S. Constitution before that is given away as well.

    And thank you Meredith for this kind message for Mitt Romney. Even though I’m not living there, it was very nice to find the character of Mitt Romney after the image that I had of him in the primaries. It would be a pleasure seeing your country run by this man. Maybe he is not as conservative as one would like to, but I think he is a very decent and capable person, and if after all this mess, the Enemedia couldn’t find something in his past, is because he is a person with integrity.

    I don’t think he would solve all the problems of your country, but I’m sure he would do an excellent job nevertheless!!! Very nice message Meredith, and also thank you for your work not only at The Blaze, but also commenting the chats!!

    If you read this Mitt and Paul, thanks for the effort, shows we’re not alone.

    Yes we overall lost, but half of nation is still there for you and remember, eventually, these students are going to eventually have to: work, own a home and a car and maybe even *GASP*… punish themselves with a child!

    Once that happens, we’ll have a new Republican.
    Heck I’ll take a conservative Democrat. But we know thats about as likely to happen as a dodo bird landing at my front door (The bird, not Biden)

    I agree completely. Mitt Romney deserves no criticism for the loss. He did a GREAT job! He had no incentive to subject himself to our insane media other than his love for his family and country. God bless Mitt!
