Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann stopped just short of endorsing Mitt Romney on Sunday, saying she was “very seriously looking into an endorsement.”

“I think we're seeing a uniting and a pulling together around our eventual nominee," she said on NBC’s Meet the Press. "And I have said that I want my voice to be one of uniting our party, the independents, the mainstream, conservatives, evangelicals, the tea party movement. I want to unite our party.”

[KSanders]

No!

Don’t do it Michele.

Mitt is an Albino Obama.

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

Apparently a lot of people are going to be “dead” to you:

Dick Cheney, Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, and every conservative who advocates doing the only Constitutional thing we can do to remove Obama from office...

Voting.

[2ndDivisionVet]

If she thinks she is going to be his Sarah Palin, she needs a mental evaluation.

You smell like a troll.

You smell like an obot posing as a Conservative.

I’m becoming more and more convinced as each day goes by that the reason why Rove, FOX News, The GOP-e, et al, are pushing so hard to nominate the Reagan loathing, conservatism loathing, tea party loathing, abortionist, statist/progressive Mitt Romney is to try to destroy the tea party. Romney cannot win the general (for many obvious reasons) but that doesn’t faze them. The tea party is a threat to the RINO GOP/statist hold on power so must be destroyed.

When otherwise stalwart tea party “leaders” start caving, then the tea party will have less and less credibility, less and less participation and less and less influence.

Whether Romney wins or loses, it’ll be mission accomplished for Rove & Co.

[Lazamataz]

Well, now, that was just damned interesting. Plausible, too.

Another thought is this: They believe there is no saving the current USA, with the mountain of debt we now have, a faltering economic structure, and so on. So they'd rather a Democrat be the one in the history books to preside over a dissolved US, like we remember Gorbechev presiding over a dissolved USSR.

I agree with that wholeheartedly.

I also see newbie operatives coming here to take advantage of our discontent and further erode our morale by diminishing those who we perceived as being on our side but have let us down....and posting endless articles to shove it in our faces.

JMO.

Seems dead-on.

We've already seen a lot of economic self-survival knashing of teeth on FR...so it'd make sense that the GoP-e power base has the same kneejerk impulse to the tea party...

We've seen the GoP grow increasingly Big govt...because the temptation to "get in on" the largesse is just too great...

So the RINOs have wanted their "own rascal" Big Govt guy vs. that other rascal Big Govt guy in the WH.

[rockinqsranch]

I kinda agree, but they’ve been at it longer than the TEA party has existed such as its spontaneous existence is. I firmly believe that the hard target is Conservatism albeit the TEA Party is Conservatism.

Conservatism, TEA Party, whichever, or both as both are reflections of conservatism they’re targets for the Leftists, the Leftist RINO’s.

WE are a PIA to them. WE have to be more of a PIA to them.

Do it, and Backwoods Engineer will be "Very Seriously Looking Into" asking for his money back, Michele.

If that is indeed true, and you could very well be right, we're in a deep world of hurt.

Grid yer pork chops!

[Terry Mross]

Beck had to push and push to get her to say she would support a true conservative non-republican over a rino. And you could tell she didn’t really mean it.

[jjotto]

I also see newbie operatives coming here to take advantage of our discontent and further erode our morale by diminishing those who we perceived as being on our side but have let us down....and posting endless articles telling us there is no alternative to Romney!

In politics the middle way is none at all. John Adams

[TheOldLady]

Agree.

[little jeremiah]

Well, McCain threw the last election on purpose; of this I have no doubt. What you posit makes sense. The GOP insider elitists are just as much enemies of the Constitution as the Dems/Progressives. Just different flavors of deadly poison.

[Las Vegas Ron]

I’m not clear on your reply, but FWIW, I’m still praying for a Gingrich comeback.

[Sir Napsalot]

To splinter the conservative side, that is for sure.

Romney may be the ‘inevitable pick’ of GOP, but conservative base will not be enthusiastic about him.

Furthermore. Whoever endorses him right now weakens the conservative cred he/she has. Next time Jim DeMint’s SCF and other similar ‘cry for moneybomb’ will not be getting my money, instead my funds will be used for prepping.

I am so digusted with the Tea Party Favorites coming out endorsing the ultimate party elite guy.

[tomkat]

The flaw with their plan, imho, is that there's never been a 'Tea Party' per se, nor any 'tea party leaders' with much, if any, significance.

Just millions and millions and millions of everyday patriotic Americans who are absolutely sick to death of being used and abused and taxed and inflated and nanny-stated 24/7/365.

All those millions - their votes and their righteous anger - won't be placated by anyone who haughtily presumes to rule subjects rather than lead his/her fellows.

The SPIRIT of the 'Tea Party' lives in the hearts and genes of all those in this nation who still value the ideals that motivated the Founders,
and try their best each day to raise their families and live their lives with integrity, in a land that's increasingly hostile to their efforts.

Until such time as the enemedia, the indoctrination factories, and those who've already sold their souls to corruption can claim to have extinguished its flame,
the spirit and fire of Liberty that they so rightly fear will always be alive out here, committed enemies to their treasonous usurpations.

[LUV W]

I think that the tea party only gets stronger when opposed to this extent.

We know that we are winning when we make them whine! :)

[billva]

Do it, and Backwoods Engineer will be "Very Seriously Looking Into" asking for his money back, Michele.

Let us know how that works out.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

I’m surprised it has taken her this long. She ran cover for Romney so much in the primaries that I thought she was competing with Ann Coulter to become a sister-wife.

[onyx]

This is another gem you've been saying for months, and you're right again.

Rove, the GOP-E and the corrupt, cozy, cocktail Beltway crowd, hate the Tea Party, hate Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich and have gleefully supported Romney from the get go, because he's one of them and worse!

They smugly and arrogantly go on TV to state that we, the Tea Party have all but vanished, and that conservatives will rally 'round the GOP nominee bcause we "so despise Obama."

Well, not this time pals. We've been taken for granted one too many times.

Provided Romney buys himself the GOP-E nomination, without us, he can damn sure well buy himself the election without us too!

Oh, we will vote, all right. We will vote straight conservative up and down our ballots in all other races. Voter turn out by us is imperative!!

TEA Party patriots unite! Freedom is never free and it's messy.

Support and Vote for Newt now to try to stop the liar, liberal abortionist, pray and keep praying, and Trust in Him.

Please support Free Republic. Trust me, please, we need FR and one another NOW, more than ever.

EVERY donation, no matter the amount, is truly and greatly appreciated.

God bless and keep you all.

[LUV W]

I hope she doesn’t do this...it would mean that she has given
up any hope of being her Own woman and has joined the establishment, which she professes to abhor!

I would be so disappointed....as would many others.

[RobertClark]

I never looked at it from that angle. That scenario makes sense and I can see every step the GOPE has taken to undermine and weaken the Tea Party to date. It further confirms that the GOPE and the Dims are one and the same and have nearly identical agendas - letting us believe there is a difference, in their minds, satisfies our need to rebel.

[mosesdapoet]

Michelle dear lady , it has to be Romney’s move not yours . Mitt is so sure of his annointing he’s already talking of going to the “center”. His center is our left.

[RedMDer]

Go ahead and do it Michele.. See how well it goes over with this voter in your district.

I hope they are promising you the speaker ship for your endorsement.

Not that it will matter when you loose.

[katiedidit1]

I noticed that about Rove and the establishment in regards to Sarah Palin. They didn't quite know what to do with her. Along comes Newt who has an undisputable record as Speaker of the House and panic sets in ..who has been the target of the attacks? Newt.

We have to fight to the end for Newt...no white flags of surrender will be waved by the true patriots that vote with a conscience and an education. You are right Jim..a revolution is brewing and I have to applaud YOU, Marguerite, RitaOK, Windflier, Cincinatus'Wife, onyx, TrueBelieverForever, caww and others for the exemplary work you do

THAT, brother, describes the America and the Americans I know and love.

[sam_paine]

Rove, FOX News, The GOP-e, et al, are pushing so hard to nominate ... abortionist, statist/progressive Mitt Romney is to try to destroy the tea party.

So when are we going to get together and do an early-primary Tea Convention so we have ONE conservative candidate to run against the GOPe machine where we can beat them instead of having Bachman, Cain, Pawlenty, Perry, Santorum, and Newt splitting up all the Anti-Romney vote?

Does everyone forget the tit-for-tat sniping that went on at the beginning of the primaries? "You get out, NO YOU get out!" All Romney has had to do is just keep his head down while we chew each other up.

[rockinqsranch]

“Rove, the GOP-E and the corrupt, cozy, cocktail Beltway crowd, hate the Tea Party, hate Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich and have gleefully supported Romney from the get go, because he’s one of them and worse!”

(”Rove, the GOP-E and the corrupt, cozy, cocktail Beltway crowd, Heretofore known as “THEY”)

Agree, but supported him from the git-go with a running start as THEY already hated the true Conservative, and had battle plans to redefine the Conservative, and I think if we all sit back and think about, reflect upon it we’d all agree THEY tried to nullify the Conservative movement by trying to drive conservatives to a third Party thus into oblivion. THEY did try, and I’m certain I’m not the only one that remembers them trying.

THEY are still trying.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Provided Romney buys himself the GOP-E nomination, without us, he can damn sure well buy himself the election without us too!

I agree, if Romney should some how pull this off it will be viewed as the end of the TP and its platform.

In the end though, I don't believe Romney will win.

Have you seen this?

King of Bain

I know what it is and the bs attached to it, but it is well done and it will destroy any chance of the mittster being elected.

Damn, I pray to God Gingrich can make a comeback.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Please forgive me, the last line of my post was not a good choice of phrasing....grrrrrr.

[The Cajun]

The tea party is a threat to the RINO GOP/statist hold on power so must be destroyed.

Yup, totally agree.
The Rino/GOP-E figure a little useless power is better than no power at all and the hell with the country and conservatives.

As far as tea party leader, I have none and recognize none, but I am tea party.

Bachmann 'Very Seriously Looking Into' Romney ABO Endorsement

There, fixed it.

But I'm with the "don't do it, Michele" crowd. It's not over yet. Newt 2012.

[gov_bean_ counter]

No comment.

see tagline :)

[LibLieSlayer]

Well it seems when a person has a career in the gop... that the slave masters do not allow independent thinking. I do not care... Palin has said that she will support the nominee... Bachmann has said so... Newt has said so... well LLS has vowed to never vote for that pos socialist baby killer and nothing that any of these professional political animals say or do will get me to vote for evil. That is their decision... my decision is mine... FU mitt romney!

LLS

[LibLieSlayer]

You smell just like a mitt romney operative... brimstone and sulfur.

LLS

[LibLieSlayer]

As Rush said last week... the gop/e had best be very careful... because Rush said that he is not so sure that romney can convince people like you and I to vote for him... we both know that there is NOTHING that will force either you or me into voting for that demon... if they destroy the TEA Party movement... they will have committed suicide and we will go on to rebuild a new movement. They only way to stop us is to kill us all... obamao has a plan for that. I wonder if mitt is the author of that plan too?

LLS

[LUV W]

I will be very disappointed in Michele Bachmann, though. :(

[LibLieSlayer]

romney was pushing his class warfare rhetoric again today. I despise him every bit as much as obama... especially when it comes to his ideology... I despise obama more overall because he is a racist muslim that hates America and white people... mitt hates our Founders vision of America... he wants a big nanny state with him as king... the only other difference between mitt and obama... one is a socialist and one is a communist... one is in magic underwear cult and the other is in a death cult.

LLS

[STARWISE]

Dang Beltway Machine ..

I wonder if she could be lured by the aroma
of campaign debt repayment, if she has it.

Well, e pluribus unum apparently means
“we stand together against the citizens.”

We’re sure gonna see the wheat separated
from the chaff this time. God have mercy
on US.

[Las Vegas Ron]

I think your tag line sums it up rather succinctly, and may God have mercy on the US.

[vox_freedom]

Whether Romney wins or loses, it’ll be mission accomplished for Rove & Co.

I agree. These RINO's support all the non-conservative positions anyway whether it is the homosexual agenda, pro-abortion, higher taxes, gun control, immigration amnesty, etc., etc. If Mitt "the liar" Romney is nominated they can't lose! Heads I win, tails you lose! And the GOP establishment JUST DOESN"T GET IT!

We get it. We totally resist and will not comply! Damn the torpedos and full steam ahead. We will not compromise, we will not retreat, we will fight for our rights and our freedoms.
