Now CNN is trying to say that most tea party supporters favor Romney
Friday August 13, 2010

Posted on 08/13/2010 12:22:41 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

See how they try to lead people into buying into certain "convention wisdom's"....this is silly and CNN knows it, and the RINO's in the party of course will claim that they support the teas party when they actually don't.

"More than half of all Republicans we questioned consider themselves Tea Party supporters or active members of the Tea Party movement," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Romney tops the list among Tea Party Republicans; Gingrich is next on that list and Palin is in third." -CNN

I’ll say this, the perception that Romney is the inevitable candidate

You will be allowed to vote for whomever Goldman Sachs, the IMF, and the CFR tell you to.

It's such a scam. You are right the fix is in for Romney.

Do you these these greasy SOBs will ever allow another Goldwater/Reagan conservative to make it beyond New Hampshire?

People complain that the media is liberal, and on the surface it is, but at it's core, it is a propaganda organ for the CFR globalonists.

Don't forget Dole and GW.

Sorry, I don't do the revisionist history thing where W is concerned--the religious right LOVED him and wanted him to be the nominee.

I'm sure people around here get sick of me saying over and over that the Country Club/Rockefeller Republican core have been and will continue to fight against conservatism. They didn't and don't love Reagan--they tolerated him. Their idea of a candidate would be Dole, McCain or another "We're all in one big club" candidate. Case in point...

The one other person that comes to mind as Presidential material is Gov Christie but he isn’t running and NJ needs him.

All the obvious choices are already in places we need them: Bachman, Christie, Ryan, Cantor, etc., etc. I do like Palin and she's available.

CNN wants the rino. Always wants the rino. They are afraid of Real Conservatives. They are desperate to get Obama to win in 2012 and we now enough to not be fooled.

I’m a Tea Party supporter and I can guarandamntee you Romney’s not at the top of my list. Shoot, Romney’s not even ON my list. CNN is full of it.

Can somebody name a Tea Party goal that Romney has always supported? Flip flopping doesn’t count.

And the hair - let's not forget the great hair!

Fabulous hair. And he seems real smart. And I think he's between jobs. Obama could stick around for a couple of weeks to show him the ropes, and then he'd do fine, I have no doubt.

“We need someone who breathes fire on Healthcare repeal for 2012, Romneys past in regards to healthcare in Mass. will make him unable to attack on that issue to the extent that is needed, he will be hamstrung by his past record on Romneycare.”

If Romney wants to have any chance at 2012 he will have to not only distance himself from Romneycare but come out “breathing fire” to repeal Obamacare.

So that's exactly what he will do. He will also position himself against homosexual rights to appease the social conservatives. Those supporting another candidate will scream FLIP FLOPPER but it will not strike pay dirt...politicians have “epiphanies” all the time and will run on their current platforms.

These comments aren't in support of Romney, just political prognostication. Those banking on using these two issues to derail Romney will need to plan an alternative course.

To: who knows what evil?

“...and now it appears that the people of Arizona are going to return the man who exhibits such p*ss-poor judgment to the Senate of the United States.”

Might not have happened if Palin didn’t endorse, campaign and do commercials for him. If you condemn the judgement of the voters of Arizona, what does that say about Palin?

“Bob J always the one trying to defend Mitt....”

Really? And why don’t you show the good people of FR where I have done that? Over the yeats I may have said kind things about all GOP candidates...I give credit where credit is due.

But your allegation is “...always trying to defend Mitt”. Put up or STFU because I’m getting sick of the Palinsistas sliming anyone who doesn’t bow down to their annointed savior.

A politician can move some, but no one can have an entire series of immediate, brain sroke like epiphanies like Mitt Romney and get away with.

Mitt Romney:"One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue” military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share."

Mitt Romney: "I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I'm not trying to return to Reagan-Bush."

Mitt Romney: "I'm not a partisan politician. My hope is that, after this election, it will be the moderates of both parties who will control the Senate, not the Jesse Helmses."

Mitt Romney:"These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense," "They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people."
