CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Mitt Romney is mocking Newt Gingrich's long record in Washington and says conservative tea party voters eventually will reject the former House speaker who's Romney chief presidential rival.

Romney tells reporters in South Carolina that he thinks the state's tea party voters will turn on Gingrich because of his work for the mortgage company Freddie Mac and his consulting time in Washington....

The guy who shuns the base and tea party probably has no idea what the tea party will do. Political tin ear.

Look at their accomplishments. Newt allied himself with Ronald Reagan to build the Reagan Coalition, the Religious Right, and the Republican majority (together the Reagan Revolution) which directly led the downfall of the Soviet Union, the Contract with America, government reforms, less government, tax cuts, a balanced budget, and the great, long-standing Reagan economy.

Romney, on the other hand, vehemently denied Ronald Reagan and aligned himself with Ted Kennedy and the left. Romney accomplished installing liberal big government programs, defended and promoted Roe v Wade and legalized abortion as “settled law,” advocated and implemented RomneyCare with its liberty killing government mandates against formerly free citizens and its taxpayer funded or subsidized and mandated abortion procedures. He ran and governed to the left of Ted Kennedy on the “gay agenda” resulting in gay marriage in Massachusetts. He appointed liberal judges and liberal appointees throughout his government. Under his “leadership” conservatism and the Republican party was all but destroyed in Massachusetts.

Romney is one evil liberal progressive. No way in hell will MittBots be allowed to support this abortionist, big government, socialist scumbag on FR!

Guess my message isn’t clear enough. I have to keep repeating it and zotting would be MittBots.

From the fake Tea Partys such as the one
which attacked Gov. Palin from Texas
created by RINO Romney and Hudack (and Perry?)

to the FAKE polls in Texas "informing" Gov Palin not to run
created by PerryBOTs (and Romney?)
to the rumor-fomenting Sullivans in S.C.both in bed
with RINO Romney and RINO Perry
to the anti-Gov Palin rumors from PerryBOT Ken Crow in Iowa Lying that
Gov Palin would not Run for President
(Perry and Romney?)

Romney and Rove.

RINOs all -- Tied to the navel of Soros and Sharia.

Two backstabbing misogynists working together against America and conservatives again.

I'm not sure just how Nikki Haley was bought off, but it sure doesn't sit well with true Conservatives to have her jump the shark and endorse Romney-the-RINO.

It really appears she would do whatever it takes to get on the good side of the Establishment Republicans, and was probably promised the VP slot if Romney-the-RINO wins the Nomination.

She's toast.

Geez, where’s he been? The Tea Party isn’t all of one mind on everything — because y’know, we’re not Demwit zombies. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

Based on what? Nikki Haley’s endorsement?

Margaret “Hoople” Hoover was trying to say that Nikki Haley’s endorsement gives Romney “Tea Party credibility” last night, on Hannity’s show.

I sent her this Tweet: @margarethoover You RINOs don’t get it. Nikki Haley’s endorsement doesn’t give Romney Tea Party credibility. It diminishes hers

Turning on Gingrich does not equal turning to Mitty.

Romney, who's been endorsed by South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley,...

Which will drag down Nikki Haley, not boost up Mitt Romney.

You know that just don’t come any slimmer than Willard... His brown shirts have been taking down conservatives for the last few years to pave the way for his ascension. He took out Palin with lies and a unholy underground alliance with the MSM. I just want to puke when I hear his voice... it is the voice of a snake.....
