DERRY, N.H. Mitt Romney says he can appeal to Tea Partiers, even though activists and groups aligned with the movement are stressing that they need to defeat him in 2012.
I think I line up pretty well with the Tea Party, he said in response to a question from The Daily Caller after touring the Derry Feed and Supply store. They want to see smaller government. So do I.
But not everyone associated with the movement see Romney as one of them.
Joe Miller, a former U.S. Senate candidate in Alaska and a Tea Party darling, is now running a Stop Romney campaign, for example. And FreedomWorks, a national organization run by former Rep. Dick Armey, has not hidden the fact that the activists they deal with do not want to see Romney in the White House. Leaders there have said they worry that Tea Partiers wont show up to the polls in the general election if Romney is the Republican nominee.
I believe in redemption, but at some point, you sort of give up, Matt Kibbe, the president of the Tea Party-aligned group, FreedomWorks, recently said in an interview. And weve given up on Mitt Romney.
After making his first debate appearance of the cycle Monday night in the Granite State, Romney spent Tuesday greeting customers at local diners, asking them what they thought of the debate and the Boston Bruins game. He even showed his jokester side at Mary Anns diner, jumping and letting out a screech at one point by acting like a waitress he was taking a photo with pinched him.
I would never do that, the waitress was reported as saying. Romney explained that he was just teasing.
Leg humping cur.
“Looks like Im RINO free.
Too bad RINOmney can’t say the same...
Romney is the proverbial Chameleon. He will be anything you want him to be.
Seriously. < /sarc>
Romney will do anything or say anythig to get elected. Rotten at the core.
