The Conversation With a Florida Tea Partier That Should Scare Every Republican

I see a Romney nomination causing Tea Partiers like me to tune out.

That's exactly the way I feel and what I said earlier in fact.

[newzjunkey]

Will the Tea Party remain engaged in a party led by Romney, Boehner, and McConnell?

Never mind "the Tea Party."

Romney is an enthusiasm killer even among hard core Republicans.

If Romney, I don't know how I'll cast a vote in November. Unless there's a landslide or I relocate, my state's outcome is cast in stone.

So you think it would be better voting for a liberal republican? The GOP does not need to have its own version of Obama ruining the White House. But if it does then it should deserve to end.

I just can’t come to grips with voting for Romney so the options left would be to not vote for president, write a name in or vote 3rd party.

For me both Romney and Obama would be the same thing. I’m under the impression that 90% of this site will be in favor of not voting for Romney should he win.

I understand your perspective, but I am seriously doubting the RNC’s will to defeat Obama and the left if they nominate Romney. I can’t defend him.

This is a comedy.

The brilliant political class of the GOP, are so brilliant.

They cannot see this ?

Arrogance with incompetence...GOPproud

A Romney term will be Obama’s second term, with much the same result. A Romney victory would be meaningless.

It is amazing that people actually think things would change with Mitt in there. It's beyond laughable. Mitt would do absolutely nothing to turn our Republic back towards Liberty.

People have been fooled into thinking, Anyone but Obama.

Wrong. It has to be somehow who will take on and reduce the power of the State. Mitt worships at the alter of State Power. I will never vote for Mitt.

best post i’ve seen on any thread. and i agree 100 percent.

[tjblair]

exactly

[freemarketsfreeminds]

I think Romney’s picks will be slightly to the right of Obama’s.....will that be enough to turn this country around? Nope.

[tjblair]

screw mitt romney, i’m a life long registered republican, there is no way in hell i’d ever vote for mitt romney.

[Rome2000]

Thanks

The Republic needs to be reset

Question is, who will hit the reset button, and how long will it take?

[webstersII]

“For me both Romney and Obama would be the same thing”

I disagree with you.

Yes, Romney is too liberal. I don’t want to vote for him but it would be better than 4 more years of BO. At least with Romney he is not as likely to run roughshod over the Constitution like BO does constantly.

The lady is SPOT ON.
We’re probably screwed either way at the top of the tickets. Best we can hope for is some congressional candidates with the balls to tell Obozo, Mitch and Cryin’ John to go to hell and claw back up the Hill the authority they’ve shipped down to 1600.

God help us. But given how we’ve treated Him, why would He?
