“I hope Rove, GOP-E and even Fox News are happy.

They’ve all but shut out and smacked down us TEA Party patriots! “

Maybe if we had got our act together last year instead of questioning the purity of every damn person in the primary?

The TEA Party patriots dont get to win just because they feel that they should.

Santorum was bought up by Romney when he settled his campaign debts for him.

Boehner has to go!

He’s a major reason we need a TEA Party sweep in November!

Truer words never spoken!

Geez! It sure seems like a long, long time ago when we were all in Tampa for the debate! My first encounter with Paulbots! That encounter left me with a lasting, and quite disgusting, impression of those folks!

thank you.I so agree with you.

I am begining to think that EVERY thread about this election will just be about bashing Romney and whining about RINO’s. Why bother even having threads if that is ALL that we can do. We ALL know some of you are hurt and feel rejected cause Michelle or Santorum didn’t get it, or Sarah didn’t get it even though she didn’t run.

Hey..its over.finished, done.sealed and delivered. Romney is the candidate..
FIDO!

Take 2 quinine tablets and get in the truck and drive on!

From what little I know about MS, symptoms come and go and meds help control. I don't think Michelle was totally serious. But at the time of the interview, the delegates were dancing. Needless to say this was before the food fight started.

Now I have to watch the Mentalist because the "boss" of the family has come home. I will not miss the Christie speech!

I was jazzed when he picked Ryan for VP. But I’m not sure how much weight Ryan will have. After what we’ve witnessed today, I’m in full fret-mode.

Same here. I'm not sure if I will vote for Romney or not now. (If I do, it will be a vote for Ryan only.)

On the way home listening to Santorum on Hannity who said the rules changes should basically be ok...

Yea they are OK---for the GOP-e!

They've effectively thrown Conservatives and Tea Party citizens under the bus.

Watching that on Hannity is the bus backing over them, to make sure they are ineffective. (Good luck with that, they will be stronger than ever now!)

Santorum bought his way into Romney's heart.

So he's hot stuff RINO now.

To quote the owner of this web site, Rebellion is brewing!!

Just now added "GOP-e" to my tag line.

Hmmm...Pearl Harbor, 9-11, Fort Sumter...you might be right. Top 5.

“Same here. I’m not sure if I will vote for Romney or not now. “

Really?

After years of bitching about Obama, calling him a Marxist/Communist and fretting over how he is destroying the economy and constitution.

You seriously are saying that? I guess Obama wasn’t so bad after all.

Some of you folks need to get off the drama queen express and get back to reality.

You either get rid of Obama or you are happy with him where he is.

Hiya dearest Bushbacker1!!!

Tis a night I'll always remember most vividly and fondly! We sure had a fabulous time! Met and personally talked with several of our candidates, including now nominee Mitt Romney!

I remember he stopped in the receiving line to speak to me, "Hi How are you?" and I just said, "Good luck Mitt." He said "I'll need it." And I said, "Yeah, this is the Tea Party, ya know." LOL.

You're right about those Paul-bots. Cheering and acting the LOUD fools at every opportunity!

My love to "P"!

I keep thinking about the last of days....and believe we are living it. However, what if I am wrong (I am just a simple human)?

His time isn't ours and He purposely does not give us that time.

Perhaps it is because He wants more of us before the second coming of the Lord?

For Romney (I now refuse to call him mittens because of his Ryan choice) I now actually feel an excitement to get out there and not only vote. but participate!

I truly believe in my tagline. We MUST get this American hating commie bastard OUT of the WHITE HUT and return it to it's natural White House.

Still recovering from my 3 whoop a$$ing’s during the primary.

I JUST know this liar, backstabbing emmer effer MUST go and I need to do everything I can to make it happen.

Yep...you pretty much have the gist of things. I don’t know about this whole rule stuff or whether it is as bad as it seems but what was bad was the blatant way that the minority were shouting no louder than the others. Then Boehner just ignored our clear voice win and gave it to the yays. It was tyrannical.
