The TEA Partiers are mostly grassroots people so I’m sure there are lots of people with divergent ideas, however, the main concept is to oppose out of control, big spending, big taxing, overreaching, big government. In this regard, Mitt Romney is part of the problem, not the solution. He’s more of a fat cat party elite that we’re rebelling against rather than a rebellion participant. We sure as hell will not be supporting him here and I doubt many other TEA Partiers will either.

The Tea Party Movement, is the best shot we have had in 20 years, of reassembling the Reagan Coalition imho. I have not always been politically astute and in years past, have fallen victim to the ‘GOP Threat’, that if you don’t vote for their ‘liberal lite’..you will get the democrats ‘leftist heavy’. The RINOS have been able to hold way too much power in this party with that type of ‘scare tactic’ formula. It’s been going on for years and they are at it yet again.
The leftists know that this is how republicans lose...so we are seeing ‘stories’ everyday about ‘moderate conservatives’..’moderate republicans’, etc. The usual suspects like McCain, Graham, Snowe, Collins, Specter and the corrupt American media are shaking the conservative foundation once again.
Thanks for your post. It is a great reminder that the best way not to wind up twisting yourself into a political pretzel, is to stand on a bedrock of founding principles and a foundation of faith.
I have learned so much reading and posting on Free Republic.
Thanks again for this forum.
