The tea-party phenomenon is forcing possible Republican presidential candidates in 2012 to make early and potentially high-risk strategic gambles over how to harness the movement.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is traveling the country to build alliances with local tea-party activists in key presidential primary and caucus states.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is solidifying ties with traditional party leaders and organizations by helping them with fund raising and candidate endorsements.
The two potential rivals are acting on opposing assumptions about the newly energized but volatile tea party-infused Republican base. The results of their decisions will show the impact that tea-party supporters will have on the 2012 presidential race, and on the new political scene to emerge after the Nov. 2 midterm elections.

More accurately, Romney is using his operatives to attack
the GOP candidates. What an SOB he is again, for Obama.
"Mr. Romney's team... believes activists animated by fiscal discipline
and the size of government could see Mr. Romney
as a conservative Mr. Fix-It for the economy."
Trouble is that backstabber Romney was terrible in politics.
He RUINED Massachusetts, driving its economy DOWN, DOWN, DOWN.
"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."

Let me just say this to you.
I have never showed you or anyone here any disrespect. I may have called you a pest and asked you to get lost, but I never called you a fool or tried to make you look like a fool like you have to me. Think about it. And, like I said, I e-mailed you instead of posting to show you a little bit of respect. Whether you want to believe that or no, thats up to you.
The reason should be PERFECTLY CLEAR why I have told Diogensis to not post to me or post on any of my threads the answer is even right in this thread. He is the most irresponsible poster on this site. I dont associate with people who post garbage (whether I agree or disagree with them).
Now, if you want to e-mail me back and have the last word, okay. I just wanted you to make sure you understand the above.
Oh, and one last thing that I want to make perfectly clear. I DONT LIE.”
I dare you!
Especially the part where you threaten to turn me in....for REPLYING to you.
Yeah, do it!! DO IT!!
You NEED HELP!!! Seek it!!
Of course you know this...but probably just forgot.
Like I said, I don’t associate with irresponsible people.
Everyone here should be fighting the rats, not me.
We all very much want the same thing.
What are you talking about?
Sad watching her spectacular flame-out.
She will not post them all...because they expose her.
Yes, it's sad.....I agree.
Youve got some real issues....
Anger problems?
Personality disorders?
A man in a womans body...or vice versus. ( I am very serious...)
You need help........
Seek it.
Everyone here should be fighting the rats, not me.

We are dear...
RINO Romney is a stealth rat and we are fighting him
You should be fighting that rat not us
You need help.....really.
Nice... thank you!
in a spirit of pathetic compassion, I wanted to see if in 2010 you learned from your RINO ways in 2008 in supporting Romeny, and like clockwork you’re STILL supporting this socialist? Have you learned nothing since being on FR? You even got chastised by the founder Jim Robinson and you still support this liberal? Maybe by 2012 I will check back and you will only then be deserving of the name GOP_LADY. Until then you might want to contact the admin moderator for a name change to RINO_Lady or even more appropriate ROMNEY_Lady.
