Yesterday's 9-12 Project and the local Tea Party rallies were roaring successes. The Tea Parties are much more effective at voicing opposition to Obama's policies than the hapless GOP leadership in Congress. With the success of the Tea Parties, it will be only a matter of time before GOP politicians and especially potential 2012 candidates to attempt to make the Tea Parties as their own. Mitt Romney is a man who might try to "buy" the Tea Party movement. With his vast wealth, Romney could open his wallet and fund Tea Party rallies across the country until 2012. Under such a scenerio, the Tea Party organizers wouldn't have to worry about raising money for rallies.
Big Questions: If Romney gave generous donations to the Tea Party movement, does this entitle him to conservative support?
Mitt is a Massachusetts Yankee. He is therefore not a viable candidate regardless of how he spends his money.
Being governor of a Loyalist state is proof enough he is damaged goods.
(Loyalists are those who preferred the King and still look to Europe as a model. They live here but should not be counted as Americans)
Screw That! He’s not purchasing me (or anyone I know), and I am on the BoD of a local Indiana Tea Party. (I think I speak for quite a few others as well..)
add Lugar-IN.
No way. Romney has not a single value in common with those of the Tea Party folks. He’s so statist I think he’s even moved beyond RINO.
He’s a Mittocrat.
If Romney “bought” the Tea Party movement, the movement would quickly breakdown. Everything Romney touches withers and dies.
“Big Questions: If Romney gave generous donations to the Tea Party movement, does this entitle him to conservative support?
... making donations does not make Romney a conservative.
This is exactly the path he has followed for years. He is
still a chameleon rino...
Every day I read another ‘I hate Romney’ post here on FR.
Why? Is it his religion? Why is everybody so angry/afraid of him?
NO.
Fortunately the Tea Party is way too local and regional to be claimed by any one person.
Exactly, he could have been “somebody”; and, the Huckster, too, but he chose to reinforce McCrazy. Palin’s the one IMHO-she’s one of us.
to bad the state he governed is going bankrupt because of his health insurance policy
Two reasons that combine to create anger:
1. He is not a conservative, he is a moderate at best (AKA he is a RINO)
2. FR is infested with sycophantic trolls who lack conservative core values claiming he is a conservative.
Combine the two together and you get vocally angry conservatives.
Because he’s a lying bottom feeding liberal.
Is it his religion?
This is the same crap the liberals pull when anyone criticizes nObama...automatically its racists. I am so sick of hearing that criticism of Romney is anti-Mormon. That is such liberal horse hockey.
No. And you know better than this, dude!
For one, MittCare.

The best way to kill a movement is to take away its autonomy.
