(”I can tell conservatives from my perspective is that, I’m not only comfortable with Romney, I’m excited about the possibility of him possibly being our nominee,” DeMint said.)

You can tell us whatever you want. We can tell you that as conservatives we are not voting for Romney. Not falling for that crap anymore. Doesn’t matter who he would pick as a VP either. You all tried that before and it did not work....

DeMint is a moron.
Romney RAN Mass into the ground."


MITT ROMNEY - THE PROVEN BAD GOVERNOR

"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

FLASHBACK:

The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts
in some polls, days prior to Election 2008.
So rather than helping the GOP, Romney and
TeamROMNEY and the RNME (Republican National Media Establishment)
decided …to attack Gov. Palin to throw Election2008.

Romney, and the Van der Sloot RNME RINOs for Obama in 2008

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."


The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.


"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."


"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."


"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

DeMint was a supporter in 2008. I’d say even odds he’s on the VP short list as well.

The Tea Party movement is dead. I agree with them, but it’s not alive like it was in 2009-2010.

"I don't have any immediate plans to do an endorsement but I think we all need to look at this presidential primary and encourage the candidates to do a little self-reflection here - what's good for our country,"

Hey Demint - shove it! Who cares about your immediate plans, you lazy @**. It's not rocket science!! Conservatives already spoke and LIAR mitt is NO GOOD FOR OUR COUNTRY - just like Barry isn't. Two birds with different feathers. You guys will be taken down our country on your own but NOT ON MY VOTE. And the blood of those who gave our life for this country and it's freedom is on YOUR HANDS! And all those aborted babies with you pro stance for romney! Filthy pigs that you are!!

The GOP E has them all in a noose. PATRIOTS THEY AREN'T. They care about their career NOT our country! Taking 'one for the (evil) team' is alive and well.

If the GOP elite had simply issued a notice in 2008 stating that McPain was the 2008 guy, Mittens was the 2012 guy and (if the GOP was still necessary), Bush III was the 2016 guy;
adding that resistance was futile:
they'd have saved us a lot of trouble.

Jim DeMint, another out of touch Republican leader.

They have no idea how pi**ed off and unforgiving some of us are.

If it wouldn't be for me to vote in Republican primaries for tea party backed candidates, I would not be a stinking Republican.
The party doesn't mean crap to me right now and I don't see it changing easily or quickly.

Get the commie Kenyan out of office is priority for the country, afterward serious thinking needs to be done about the future of the party.

“I can tell conservatives from my perspective is that, I’m not only comfortable with Romney, I’m excited about the possibility of him possibly being our nominee,”

Jim...what are you excited most about?

His support of gun control?, support for Planned Parenthood, socialized medicine, support of global warming and cap and trade, nomination of Democrats and liberal judges, his nasty class warfare rhetoric, the fact that his tax plan defines the “rich” at $200k vs. $250k in Zero’s plan, his support of bailouts, his liberal tendencies? What makes you the most excited?

I’m guessing watching your colleagues in the House shut down the Fast & Furious investigations also got you excited. Maybe when you and your Senate buddy’s completely folded on the debt ceiling negotiations. What really makes you the most excited? Please let us know.

As I've said for the past two years; we're outing all the RINO's in the effort to get the Establishment Elite's "Chosen One" that (R) Nomination. America doesn't want him; but The Party does.

We are in for The Messiah's Second Term, OR, in the alternative, ANOTHER LIBERAL THAT WILL CONTINUE THE SHREDDING OF THE CONSTITUTION, AND UN-DO NOTHING that's been Un-Constitutionally put in place in the last 4 years (Obamacare, Czars, Regulations, In-Justice Department/Amnesty, etc., etc.)

No relief in sight now for those who earn their own way responsiblly.

Dear Newt Gingrich:

Please apply your considerable intellectual faculties and organizational skills to design & build an American Conservative Party for we Reagan conservatives. Reagan’s GOP is long gone, and the Stupid Party that replaced it is brain dead.

Mr. Speaker, this would be a great service to the cause of conservatism.

Thank you.

I don’t know why people are surprised. For all of DeMint’s supposed stellar bono fides, he’s done this before. Guy goes wobbly.

Jim Demint, I should have known when you would not support Newt in South Carolina, you were poised to go down this road. When I called your office, to see if you would endorse Newt; they told me Jim was wanting to see how things went a long for Newt and how the RNC would receive him. This is our problem; all of these politicians put their jobs first and their loyally to the status quo.

I have family members who are elected representatives. Some, give their pay mostly to charity. They tell us they spend money in DC that the American people have no idea about. My son’s wife works at a congressional office. She says her pay increases come often. She tries to turn them down. they have to accept them. Government jobs do not make the economy grow though as many people think tho, they are spending like crazy. Our government is gone wild. Term limits are needed so, we can break this cycle.

We need a revolution. I am not accepting Romney. I heard today that Mitt was calming nerves after this big window to the man’s ideology of the etchy sketchy. Mitt has even mandate people working on his staff, along with global warming sympathizers and those who support gay rights. Romney has been exposed time and time again. We should not accept him because he is going to lose to Obama so we better protest now to get a better person.

If the public was not so dumb down and misinformed, and or a majority would put their country first, they would see that Newt, even with his flaws, can get ahold of Obama’s agenda and show the differences. We are at a war with the rhinos of the party and the radicals who have taken over our American systems. The insiders hate Newt for interfering with their set plans.

Maybe Newt and Palin can begin a new party if this all falls, because it is safe to say, that Romney will lose to Obama. People do NOT trust Mitt and that increases more every day. No matter, how they package him, he is Not a Conservative not even a republican. Mitt Romney is a liberal democrat.

Obama was groomed since 2004 to get where he is, now, the republicans are about to do the same thing. Try to put in a man, who has no core beliefs and as some of his friends say, Mitt does cave into pressure as he did in Massachusetts. The only good is to come, is that we hold our ground to let the republican party be cleaned out. It is our party, we have to do this- if we fail, we have to convince Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin to begin a new conservative party. How can we just go along-this is why we never get changes to our government. I am not supporting Romney. I want changes for my son and his little kids.

I want Speaker Gingrich in, Romney should step down. Someone, who has conservative clout, should begin a movement called, Romney, step out of the race.
