Ted Cruz, who rode a tea party wave to win the Texas Republican Senate nomination last week, said Sunday the movement will overwhelmingly support Mitt Romney in the November presidential election.
Mr. Cruz said tea party activists will rally in defense of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee because theyre energized to defeat President Obama.
I have spoken with literally thousands and thousands of tea party activists, and I have yet to met a single tea party leader that is not going to vote for Mitt Romney and work hard for him, Mr. Cruz said on Fox News Sunday.
Our country is in crisis, and weve got to stop this Obama agenda if were going to preserve opportunity for our kids and grandkids.(continued)

Fascinating.....
Here’s what your post boils down to.
Datura logic: “Voting for the liberal candidate is the conservative thing to do and voting for a conservative makes one a Communist”
You have perhaps just made the most stupid arguement in the history of Free Republic. No wonder the lib gets your vote.
EXACTLY. Seems the maggot had his dogs contact Cruz to ask him say a few kinds words about mitt and the maggot, et al, will help$ him.
Romney will be looking for such people to get things started and to keep the ball rolling.
It will be interesting to watch Cruz and see what he turns out to be. With the GOP's progressive drift to join the left, they have created a political vacuum that must be filled.
I guess you didn't get the memo that Free Republic is a Conservative website and NOT a Republican website.
Yes. Now ask an ABR if that includes Obama. A direct answer would require the same number of letters that I used in my answer. But odds are you'll get more. |
“Those holding their noses and refusing to vote for Romney are ignoring that Obama’s administration is actively dangerous to the rule of law, Federalist principles and democracy itself. “
Then make the damn congress rein him in. That’s their job as a check on Govt power. No need to elect a liberal and pray to the Blue Fairy that the same congress reins HIM in.
Better yet, elect actual conservatives and avoid the entire disaster. The election is months away. Pick one and vote for them.
Or WILLINGLY elect a liberal and think it’s a good idea.
I think that calling us Conservatives who refuse to partake of the Romney crap sandwich "radicals" is a little more than disagreement with us.
And quite frankly, I'm tired of all the whipping tactics that you Romneyites are trying to use against us in order to try and shame or bully us into the GOP-E line.
Ain't gonna happen, so scram!
You are NO PATRIOT! You fold at the first sign of trouble and so damn dumb when it comes to ‘tactics’. There would be NO America with your jellyfish ways.
You FAIL big time! And besides READ - this is NOT a Republican forum - proof how lost you are. Win a battle? LOL! You couldn’t find you way out of a paperbag!
Take YOUR ANGST out on the GOP and godless Romney, the imposter to the GOP party. Another one of his similarities to Barry - IMPOSTER! Clueless - you don’t even know who the enemy is. Some warrior you are!
You're going to get that with Romney and the GOP-E regardless, so NO SALE!
You just don’t understand. It is the RIGHT of the ABOer to spout liberal smashmouth BS at actual conservatives who believe in something.
It is the RIGHT of the ABOers to use a conservative forum, especially a privately owned one, to further damage the conservative political movement and trash it’s owners.
It is the RIGHT of the ABOers to behave EXACTLY LIKE liberals using liberal arguments and tactics...because as they show with their promotion and intent to vote for a liberal (drum roll) THEY ARE LIBERALS and claiming conservatism cannot hide their actions.
That’s how it works.
No one depicts Romney as Savior-- only ONE GOP tool to facilitate damming of the socialist march thru conservative strongholds to the sea, before the socialist ultimate swan song-- and he will do so well enough. Hope you read yesterday AT article entitled, "Conservatives Have A Secret" on FR for background.
By the way Cruz was right. Every one conservative/Tea Party knows America is at stake and nobama must go.
And you apparently don’t understand that the two are NOT mutually exclusive.
Romney isn’t my first choice (I would like Ryan at the top of the ticket), but he is the only viable alternative.
If your choice would have garnered the support, he/she would have been the nominee.
But here we are.
You anti-Romney folks have the audacity to label those of us who've decided to vote for the GOP nominee as “Romneybots”, “RINO’s”, “GOP-e’s” etc. At least our decision to vote for Romney will have the desired effect to remove the Marxist from office. What is your answer:
1) vote third party
2) do a write-in
3) not vote
Any of these three choices is supremely stupid, in that it will help Obama. You can sit here all day long and rationale this choice, but any of these actions will indeed help our resident Marxist! You've witnessed what the Kenyan has done to our nation over the past 3+ years, but yet you have more contempt for Romney?! WTF! Sorry, but this is just plain sick. To rationalize this, you must make the bogus assertion that Romney and Obama are exactly the same. Pfft.
Time to pull them up from their plastic freedom-loving grass roots thus keeping the conservative landscape pure, pristine.
Don’t worry about us knuckle draggers. Be PROUD of your support for the liberal.
Perhaps you could have a parade. Announce it to the world. “Conservatism does not work”. Scream it long and loud. I assure you the MSM will slobber all over you for your political genius.
You ABOs are what you are. Liberal supporters.
I sure hope you are right and common sense will dictate in the end.
Not me— My wife or my 2 grown sons. Give us a candidate or we are out.Suck it up cruz, Bad start .
I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Freepers are .025% of web traffic. Obama won by 6% in 2008. Pro or con, freepers won't decide the outcome of 2012. This is a pretty good forum for airing and batting around conservative arguments that the mainstream conservative magazines won't touch with a barge pole. However, I wouldn't get too het up about it one way or the other. We don't decide elections, except in coalition with the vast majority of people who don't follow politics at all.
