Wyoming Congresswoman to Endorse Romney
NYTimes ^ | 11/14/2011 | ASHLEY PARKER

Posted on 11/14/2011 11:20:59 PM PST by South40

The presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts is scheduled to announce the endorsement of Representative Cynthia M. Lummis of Wyoming on Monday morning, adding a Tea Party voice to its chorus of Congressional endorsements.

Ms. Lummis, who will serve as Mr. Romney’s Wyoming campaign chairwoman, is a solid fiscal and social conservative, and the Romney campaign hopes her support will underscore the already growing narrative that conservatives are rallying around Mr. Romney.

“Governor Romney’s experience as both a chief executive and conservative businessman makes him highly qualified to lead our nation at this time — a time when the size and scope of the federal government threatens to overwhelm us,” Ms. Lummis said in an e-mail released by the campaign.

Slick Willard will probably echo their positions to get nominated. He’ll discard them for the general election. I pity the poor fools who allow themselves to be used by that man!

Her's where Romney shines.

Over the many, many years he's been running for office, the Country Club Republicans have been well groomed, fed and given big bucks, etc.,
Thanks, mitt!

Money and a weathercaster's hairdo, is a big advantage in our MSM reality.

Money was no doubt a major component behind this endorsement.

The Establishment will endorse him. I’m not really taken aback by this announcement.

If this wasn’t announced, I would be wondering why he has all that money and wasn’t using it.

Let’s just say Mitten has plenty of friends in high places.

Rep. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY)
Liberal Action Score: 15/100
Conservative Action Score: 64/100
Net Congressional Score: -49

Um... That’s NOT a Tea Party candidate’s record! Sure, she’s not a flaming Liberal, but she’s certainly no Conservative.

Cheers

Thanks but I didn’t need all that to know she’s not a conservative. Her endorsement of Romney was enough.

She's a moderate Republican. In other words, a RINO!

Why the scalwag, lying New York Times! Like I said, they don't know conservatives.

So they make it up.

Nope, she’s not on Wikipedia’s list of Tea Party politicians:

They lied about that, too. So much for the Newspaper Of Record, who can’t be bothered to get the facts straight. Creating a misleading picture of where conservatives stand is right up their alley.

Interesting how positive a NYTimes article can be with a "conservative" that they approve of; that being a liberal.

[...] A conservative politician, Lummis was one of the 28 co-founders of Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.)'s House Tea Party Caucus in 2010, though she hasn't joined the caucus in the 112th Congress. [...]

In other words, she latched onto the Tea Party Caucus in order to get re-elected and then dumped them once she won re-election.

Cheers

Exactly. They are doing everything they can and they will always find a few spoiled ones who can be bought.

Minor league propagandist ASHLEY PARKER from that nest of homosexuals on 42 st. with yet another ridiculous attempt to push that degenerate con man Romney as a viable GOP POTUS nominee.

Ashley, I knew Joe Goebbels.

Joe Goebbels ws a friend of mine.

Ashley, you're no Joe Goebbels.

Ms. Lummis, who will serve as Mr. Romney’s Wyoming campaign chairwoman, is a solid fiscal and social conservative...

Anyone to the right of Mao Zedong on the political spectrum fits that description as far as the NYT is concerned.

If you're a RINO, you can get a glowing review in The New York Times.

The problem is that 75% is being dilluted over a plurality of other conservative candidates who each rarely top Mitt’s 25% in the polls. Do you not see that the same thing that happened in 2008 with McCain is happening again?? All RINOmney has to do is hold out with this 25% while the others roll in at 23% and below and by default he wins. As Mark Levin has said recently......a few of these low pollers need to start dropping out NOW.
