Finally, Romney gets tea party support
The Washington Times ^ | March 19, 2012 | Ralph Z. Hallow

Posted on 03/21/2012 9:41:01 AM PDT by RobinMasters

The organization that ignited the tea party as a national mass movement gave Mitt Romney perhaps his biggest victory yet, deciding to drop its opposition to his candidacy, a top executive in the group told The Washington Times.

FreedomWorks, which organized the Sept. 12, 2009, mass demonstration on the Mall, says that while it will not give an explicit endorsement, the time has come for Republicans to unite around the former Massachusetts governor and focus on defeating President Obama.

“It is a statistical fact that the numbers favor Mitt Romney,” FreedomWorks Vice President Russ Walker told The Times on Tuesday. “We are dedicated to defeating Obama and electing a conservative Senate that will help Romney repeal Obamacare and address the nation’s economic and spending challenges.”

Mr. Romney has been winning a majority of delegates and has more than twice the number that former Sen. Rick Santorum has, and he continued that run Tuesday with a victory in Illinois.

The only solution to this problem is annihilation of the blue blood country clubbers at the RNC and their creepy pulled back wives.

The GOP must die.

Time for real conservatives to split off.

What uncertainty?

Romney was caught on camera admitting that he’s a progressive. He defends the bailouts. Romney signed socialized medicine and cap & trade into law in Massachusetts. Then, in a 2009 op-ed, he urged Obama to adopt the individual mandate on a national level.

He’s not a RINO. He’s not Obama-lite. He IS Obama.

Don’t let the establishment snooker you into voting for a socialist just because he has an R in front of his name. If he wins the nomination, focus on flipping the Senate.

The Tea Party has no leaders, anyone claiming to be “an executive” with the group is flat out lying.

The GOP-e doesn’t care about winning. They just want to maintain the status quo. I’m listening to Rush Limbaugh right now - he’s making a big deal about Boehner and Cantor giving in to Obama on a tax hike, and Obama walking out to lie about it in a statement to the public. Rush is going on and on about Obama’s lie, while he should *also* be ripping Boehner and Cantor to shreds.

Boehner and Cantor just plunged another knife in the back of America, and they truly don’t care about the economy. And that’s how the GOP-e is.

BTW, I forgot how hard you worked to take out the first Anti-Romney conservative who was beating him in the polls.

You certainly got your way on that one. No Perry beating Romney now.

If enough people think like you, then so will it be. I’m just so surprised that conservatives would roll over that easily.

We do have the opportunity to start a whole new Party while Romney betrays Conservatives and goes back to his real agenda, Moderate, “Can't we all get along?”, something for everyone, pandering.

Romney will mainly slow down the disease a bit, which will give us time to build a new party system. We could not possibly do it with Obama in office. He would declare us illegal under his new Executive Order.

Romney has a good chance of winning, so that is our only hope left to stop this. This will be similar to using a pest species in our garden, to kill destructive vermin, which in turn comes a time to get rid of the original pest species. (Romney) And above all else, I don't count out the possibility of a Brokered Convention or immediate 3rd party effort.

I agree with you that Romney will betray conservatives. He’s going to pull a McCain (a la his Senate reelection), and then everyone will be SO SURPRISED, like it’s never been done before.

I like Gingrich but he’s going nowhere unfortunately
April 3rd Vote Santorum Here is why

A Hydra Is In The Mourning After Pill
OBMACARE is a 1.76 Trillion $ Hydra a 9 headed snake
which Can only be Destroyed By A Firebrand
by L.J .Keslin http://www.theusmat.com

Of the three GOP candidates remaining opposing Mitt Romney . Only one man had the courage to take on a what they call a third rail issue...Eugenics... and has had his character asassinated for it... He’s been pummeled from both sides called , a women hater ,, a religious nut, ..a one trick pony, Santorum spends an hour discussing oil and the economy then 10 seconds comenting about pornography but guess what MSM and Santorum detractors will talk about... certainly not ,what’s really in the 1.76 trillion dolllar wonder called Obamacare ,,...!; Population control.... and all that goes with it. Including cost, 1.76 trillion.

To pay off a trillion dollars at $1.00 a second would take 31,668 years. At 100 billion dollars a second only 10 years.4 months*.. Not including interest.There is no way to “fix” Obamacare.. This is a Christmas gift that must be returned by someone determined to do so not just exchanged .* A billion seconds=31 years+

Two groups late in the last century led in Eugenic development. The Nazis and the Communists. Few know or remember how the Nazis began. First citing “health risk” “nicht rauchen” baning cigarette smoking, Then terminating Down Syndrome children, and then on to mentally defective children and adults,. then on to besides murdering opponents, races. All done to make the German Reich healthy and last a thousand years.

So you go to the MSM (Main Stream Media) the so called “gate keepers” for information about these things and you find closed gates .. The sorcerers in the media magically reduce a 2000 page Hydra , a Greek legendary nine headed venomous serpent that must be slain by a firebrand ,and morph it into the mourning after pill and a “womans health care issue.”

The “gatekeepers” never tell you that Obamacare bill creators and the Amish are exempt from being in Obamacare. The drafters are on record actually calling it population control and demanding Catholic bishops support it.* Their statements are out there .But not mentioned by the so called gate-keepers but by the AM the alternate media, meaning radio talk shows like Limbaugh’s and websites like Britebart’s Government . Places Obama wants to shut down and will once re-elected *Joel Pollak Britebart Government .

Women surrender their rights when they buy into this monstrosity . That is what’s in Obamacare which is deceptively titled “The Affordable Health Care Act” .Yet Obamacom tzars who hail from that foreign land, the deep swamp of Acadamica are all preaching the utopian wonders of Eugenics. Why it’s the final solution (remember him ?) population control. Which is part of the Obamacare package.
Let’s hope Santorum decides not to shy away from this issue miss characterized as only a social issued. It is both a social and financial issue $ 1.75 trillion is in no way a minor expenditure. Population control affects US from the cradle to the grave. .but Santorum can not speakout and act against this despicable movement ? Particularly when that is being shoved on religious groups by the Demo-Coms . Especially when they are ignoring constitutional rights...

Recently private job creation projects rejection by the socialists controlling new demo-com party should send a signal to the Republican bleeding heart establishment . “Bi-partisanship” doesn’t exist with the socialists who have taken over the democrat party and to the GOP leading presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Mr Romney should start realizing Obama is a “socialist”.. Everyone including the monthly liberal magazine Newsweek knows he is but Mr Romney just can’t seem to get around to saying it . Preventing an iron mine in Wisconsin for a desperate area in need of jobs or preventing the Keystone pipeline transfering oil from Canada to American refineries decisions which would have provided employment to thousands and reduced gas prices. was not on the new demo-com agenda.which has taken over. Common good is not their concern but their welfare is.. not ours .

I’ll take it a step farther. I don’t think the GOP-e wants to be in power. They want their seats yes. but they do not want to be the ones responsible for the hard choices that need to be made.

That will be all the more motivation to get a viable 3rd party in to fire the GOP. They have contributed to the demise of the country as much as the Democrats have.

Since Newt left the House, they squandered and undid everything he worked so hard to create. And they did it in less than 10 years. What is even more sickening is, Clinton and the Democrats took credit for it, and so very few Conservatives even understand what Newt actually did for us.

I listened to Romney’s speech last night and I was impressed both by what he said and by his delivery. I confess he sounded as if he meant the conservative statements he made. Regardless, I’ll vote for a syphilitic camel if it’s that or Obama.

They like power and chairmanships, but I think they’re happier when they have no responsibility. Good point.

The thing that disturbs me the most is that the freshman reps, along with Boehner and Cantor, show that even if we take the Senate, Congress will not fight for us. Conservatism needs to take the Presidency.
