Absolutely agree! No matter if he is the last man standing, do NOT endorse him. NEVAH! Do what you want on election day, and do whats best for the country, but there should be NO endorsement for Romney by the Tea party.
Newt-Romney, Mitt-Gingrich....six of one, half a dozen of the other.....both of these butterballs occupy the same freezer bin. Do either of those birds have the guts to cut government in half? Because that is what the math says is necessary. I seriously doubt it.
Check this out Jim.
I agree with that assessment 100 percent.
AMEN BRother FReep!!!!!!!!
This guy will stay home. No way will I do it! He is the only guy that makes me stay home. I have been an election judge for the past elections. If he is the guy, find someone else.
Our Founding Fathers would have started shooting by now. Hell, they would have been finished by now!
Thanks, Jim! My pet Romney peeve is that he’s a pandering liar. Pays for an NRA Life Membership, gets his picture taken at Shot Show with LaPierre, announces that he’s a lifelong hunter and gun owner, all in a two week span. Except that he’s not a hunter, and, well, does not nor ever has owned a gun.
Thanks for this thread Jim.

Romney is just another throw-back RINO who wants to “go along to get along.” (Everything will be just fine as long as we continue to cave-in to the left as the left continues to move to the left, until there is nothing left of America.) Time and events have passed him by, as well as the 24 % of Republicans who still believe that America is back in the “I Like Ike” Era.
Romney and his supporters do not realize that the US Federal Government is in the early stage of a terminal financial death spiral. The “can cannot be kicked down the road” anymore, because the “road” ended when our Total National Debt exceeded 15 TRILLION dollars.
Those of us in the 53 % that pay personal FIT and who are TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY know that ANY Federal Politician who does not reduce the US FEDERAL Government baseline spending is, to use the frog in the pot of water analogy, turning up the heat under the pot that we, the former “Silent Majority” and are now the TEA Party, politely float in.
Romney is one who will “turn up the heat on our pot of nearly boiling water.”

____________________________
With Paine’s quote in mind, let us examine ourselves a bit.
Do we sit politely on our hands and let the counter-culture manipulate us?
If so, do we even recognize that we are being manipulated?
In my humble, but ALWAYS correct opinion, manipulation by the counter-culture is done by the following:
Racial profiling; Freedom from Religion; The American Civil Liberties Destruction Union (ACLDU); charge of being a Right-Wing Extremist, Right-Wing Hypocrite, Right-Wing Millionaire, Right-Wing Businessman, etc.; and of course, that all inclusive violation of the non-existant, (thank you Reagan for your timely veto), Fairness Doctrine.
Feel free to add to this manipulation list, as it is high time for us to shed the self-imposed tolerance of the shackles that keep us from living up to the standards that our Founding Fathers fought so hard to set in place for us, the polite frogs that just float around in the almost boiling pot of hot water.
I see two possible and radically different scenarios in the debates:
1) Despite the slanted questions and format, the short, fat wrinkly dude skewers The One in the debates and somehow wins the hearts of enough American people to win, or
2) With the help of his MSM organization, The One gets the questions that lets him show his best side, parries Gingrich's attacks, counters effectively with carefully orchestrated attacks of his own, and is left looking like the slender "cool" guy against a fat old wrinkly guy.
What can we do? Pray hard and hope for the best. Maybe somehow yell PALIN!!! hard enough to change her mind. That's about all I can think of right now.
Tea Party might as well admit defeat also if it supports the big-govt, big-spending, career politician that is Newt Gingrich. Oh yeah he defended Romney care, and thinks free speech should be curtailed if it helps in the fight against terrorism. The left loves this, the true conservatives are either out of the race or so far down they might as well be out i.e. Bachmann, Palin , Santorum and Cain. Soros and company love how they think people are actually making a choice when it comes to the election, your just voting for the current progressive or a new one. This election has been fixed since day one.
So....we sit out the election if MR is the nominee? I’m all in..I can’t stand Romney...he fully support Paul Tsongas for president. I know...he’s a RINO. But...if he’s the nominee....we sit out? And don’t tell me there is no dif. between MR and BHO. At least we know MR would grant immediate waivers to all States...killing obamacare...right? So.....we sit out if MR is the nominee?
AMEN, JIM!!!! Anyone who tells me I should “hold my nose and vote” can go pound sand!
Bu, but, it’s Mitt’s turn, darn it!!
Who is this Mitt Romney person you speak off?
REVOLUTION!

BAYONETS!
Newt has said he’d like this guy for his VP = no one could beat this ticket...and this guy is open to it

This ticket would light America on fire...
I too am in for Newt, but I didn’t think he had a chance at first. Then Sarah Palin chose not to run. Newt’s message and conservatism should resonate within tea party. What he must overcome is four fold:
First and foremost, is to find a way to get the hyper self-righteous off his back.
Second and just as important, is to get the tea partiers to become the eyes at the voting locations. I believe their will be a huge crossover vote for Mitt from the demoncrats, both legal (like in Minnesota) and illegal in other states. This must not be allowed to sway the outcome.
Third, Newt hopefully has disclosed all of the pertinent information regarding his freddie and fannie ties.
Finally, Newt must find a different photo that can wipe out the memory of the one with the former female house speaker (I can’t even write her name). Even though he has recanted from that stupid move, it still bugs many conservatives.
Godspeed Jim.
We don’t need no stinkin’ MITTens. We have our TEA to keep us warm.
This Nation’s Democrats have been taken over by the International Socialists and with the willing connivance of Soetoro/Obama and his companions put us hell-bent on the road to communism. The Nation’s Republicans seem to have joined that direction, as I see little difference beyond timing of their eventual goals. We are sheep to be shorn, and they are all the wolves in our midst. If the Tea Party gets co-opted then the only recovery for our Constitutional recovery will be another revolution or civil war, and the destruction of all we hold dear.
We either fight and win civilly now - or we will have to fight militarily later. We - the American People - have a choice. God help us achieve the first to preclude the latter.
Thank you Jim.
