There’s two strong Tea Party candidates left, Bachmann and Santorum (Just say no to the Branch Paulinians) yet the “Tea Party” is going Newt...whiskey tango foxtrot.
The point wasn’t who can win...the point was that we are done with the establishment.
Unfortunately I’m in Idaho so my primary is basically to confirm who everyone else has already chosen for me. In 2008 nobody I would have voted for was left in the running by the time the primaries got to me.
So yea Mitt / Newt... means I’m not even gonna waste my time in the primaries when it gets around to me.
I'm supporting Bachmann. She stood her ground against raising the debt ceiling.
And she has stood up to the homosexual agenda, something that may appeal to a lot of people are tired of having it forced on them.
Tea partiers are going Newt over Romney due to their records of actual accomplishments.
Comparing their actual accomplishment records in evidence:
Newt: Pro-life Reaganite, led the Republican Revolution, took the congressional majority from the Democrats who had held it for 40 years. And even with a democrat president (Clinton): cut taxes, cut spending, cut the national deficit, cut welfare, balanced the federal budget four years running, cut regulations, reduced unemployment, blocked socialized healthcare (HillaryCare) and encouraged the Reagan economy to flourish throughout his term and beyond. Not a bad conservative record at all. We can use some of this now!!
Newt is a veteran of the Reagan Revolution and the leader of the Republican Revolution. His record of actual accomplishments shows that he is a natural Tea Party Revolution fighter and was a fighter even before the tea party existed.
And it's true that he actually is a leading conservative base and tea party favorite:

Romney: Pro-abortion Reagan denier, crossed the aisle to promote abortion, gay rights, gun-control, liberal judges and actually advocated for and installed a socialist healthcare system (RomneyCare) which became the model and impetus for ObamaCare. Saddled his state with unnecessarily higher healthcare costs, busted budgets, busted Republican label, liberal activist judges, tax payer funded abortion, first in the union gay marriage, and individual mandates against the previously free citizens complete with tax penalties for non-compliance. Not even a moderate record. Romney is a liberal progressive, even to the left of his ideological ally, the late Ted Kennedy.
