Doesn’t sound like a tea party conservative to me.
Romney was for TARP, the bailouts and Obama’s nearly trillion dollar stimulus package and is the chief architect of ObamaCare. All of which were the primary reasons the TEA party sprang into action.
Beyond that, Romney is no conservative. His record includes defending abortion/Roe v Wade, promoter of gay rights, global warming advocate, pro-amnesty for illegal aliens, pro-gun-control, appoints liberal judges and officials, ran to the left of Ted Kennedy and tried to distance himself from Reagan/Bush and he absolutely hates (and fears) the TEA party. And for good reason.
Sounds like the good congressman here is a bit confused or is a go along to get along big government RINO.
Speaking of Romney and global warming, did you see this?
Will Romney hire Obama’s climate-change guru Holdren?

“the Romney administration in 2005 essentially did what Barack Obama’s EPA wants to do now. He imposed CO2 emission caps - the “toughest in the nation” - in an effort to curtail traditional energy production. Not only did Romney impose these costly new regulations, he then imposed price caps to keep power companies from passing the cost along to the consumer. As we have seen in RomneyCare, regulation and price controls eventually drive businesses into bankruptcy or relocation.”
It’s looking more and more like Romney and Obama are two sides of the same coin.

Haven’t you heard, Jim? We MUST vote for anyone who can beat obama! There are those who say you should vote for Barney Frank if he was to win the republican nomination.
The Tea Party goal of eliminating canddiates that do not support fiscal responsibility is a never-ending work-in-progress.
We know that it will take many election cycles to create meaningful change.
It is inevitable that the Tea Party will support candidates that eventually betray their core values.
It is inevitable that the Tea Party will support candidates who never shared their values, but pretended to support those values.
No movement is perfect. No candidate is perfect.
The key is to stay loyal to our values and to continue our movement.
We are right, we are strong and we have the power to take this country back to Constitutional principles as long as we persevere and remain faithful to each other.
