It is perfectly fine and understandable that the Tea Party does not want to endorse Mitt. Just STFU about it then.
It is one thing to not believe in enough of the core principles of a candidate to give your support but only moronic idiots would turn that lack of endorsement into cannon fodder for Mubumbo Odumbo.
The Tea Party, SHOULD have made itself heard loud and clear before and in the early stages of the primaries. That is the time for us to move the big gray elephant back on the right path and away from the seductive Progressives.
Now that time has passed and this is what we have to work with. The Tea Party should now concentrate on getting the most Conservative candidates elected to the House and Senate so they can pull Mitt to the right if he tends to walk into the communist weeds.
Again, Tea Party I love you but, STFU if all you are going to do is attack the candidate running under the GOP banner.
REMEMBER or LEARN that the communist Progressives WILL use every Saul Alinsky trick in his dishonest debate book to get Fearless Reader, Mubumbo Odumbo, elected and they will make use of every attack the Tea Party or any of us directs at Mitt.
For all purposes the Primaries are over. This is who will be running and you now have a choice; Four more years with an anti-American occupying the White Hut and no worries about future elections so he will be free to complete his destruction of the country or a candidate who may not share all or even most of your values but at least does NOT HATE the USA.
Why don't you STFU about promoting the liberal corruption of the GOP? This Tea Party guy is sending the exact right message. As long as he doesn't endorse Obama, he's all good to me. If we get two bad candidates, I'm going to exercise my free speech to say we got two bad candidates.
a candidate who may not share all or even most of your values but at least does NOT HATE the USA.
I don't care what's in his head, I just care what power he's going to be capable of wielding. A gridlocked Obama for 4 more years will probably implement a lot less liberal policy than an empowered Romney for 4-8 years. Very many Republicans are dying to go liberal with Romney because they either believe in things like homosexual marriage or they believe it will get them more votes. If Obama is in office, they'll maintain their opposition to his policy out of fear of Tea Party primary attacks. While we can "primary" liberal Republicans, it seems like presidential elections have proven too big for Tea Partiers to wrangle, especially against Romney's money. So I doubt we'd be able to primary him in 2016 if we couldn't defeat him this time.
I'm a conservative. Not a Republican.

20 out of 50 states with over 1,000 delegates (45% of the total) haven't voted yet and you think the primaries are over? You seem very interested in suppressing people's right to exercise free speech and their freedom to vote. You just love Romney the Masshole that much, do you? I didn't realize elections were over when only 55% of the vote was in. The bottom line is it's still in the hands of the voters. If they decide to vote against Romney, he will be denied the automatic nomination and we can reload for the convention. Like Sarah Palin said last night, don't retreat, reload.
“The Tea Party should now concentrate on getting the most Conservative candidates elected to the House and Senate so they can pull Mitt to the right”
That’s not going to happen any more than Boehner and McConnell got pulled to the right in the aftermath of 2010.
I do, however, agree that this is where conservatives need to focus. I’ll be paying particular attention to competitive Senate races where a conservative is running. If we can flip the Senate, we can at least gain the ability to send legislation to whichever socialist ends up in the White House.
Now the GOP-e and FOXNEWS (can't be trusted) have to eat their own work. We can either vote for four more years..no, that is totally not acceptable. Or we can vote for four years of a liberal in conservatives clothing who has been jammed down the throats of the public and run over top of any other candidate who dared to speak against him. And that is not acceptable either. Or we can vote for a real conservative, without regard to the Alinsky tactics being used by BOTH major political parties.
What the GOP-e and FOXNEWS (can't be trusted) have done is prove that they care more about their own agenda and maintaining the status quo than what is good for the people of America. That is also a form of hating the USA.
So you’re suggesting that the Tea Party people should just shut up and fall in line like good little serfs. Is that today’s GOP-e talking point? I don’t get their memos.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
That tow the party line rhetoric seems familiar somehow. The party elite thank you I’m sure. They sort of knew most of you would fall in line once they convinced the sheeple that resistance was futile.
Romney is not the candidate yet and the Tea party is telling the GOP party the consequences of selecting a statist lite (Romney) against a statist (Obama). We are influencing the primaries that way. It is our message that is getting out and getting coverage in the press. If Romney can be denied the delegates he requires to win the nomination, then the Tea Party would have acheived an important victory. That also happens to be the only way a conservative has a chance via a brokered convention.
You STFU. You GOP-e types have a lot of nerve commenting on a conservative website with your commie crap. You can take your favorite socialist and shove him where the sun don’t shine.
There is a reason it is called the TEA “Party.” The GOP has joined the marxists in the dems party in trying to destroy this country. The TEA parties want to stop all of you commies and socialists from taking things over. Conservatives can join together in TEA parties to get away from all of you marxists.
By the way, one of Alinsky’s biggest tricks is Mitt Romney. If the dems want to use Alinsky tricks on anyone, I can’t think of any more deserving candidate than Mitt Romney son of an Alinsky acolyte. His dad bowed to Alinsky and the son is even worse than the father.
If I were you, I’d tone the Mitt drool down a bit. Last night a few Mittbugs got zapped good and they weren’t half as obnoxious as you.
Why don’t you go join your friends at the HuffPo if you want to STFU conservatives?
