The day the tea party embraces Mitt Romney is the day the tea party accepts defeat
Vanity | Dec 17, 2012 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 12/17/2011 12:08:08 PM PST by Jim Robinson

First there was the Reagan Revolution, then Newt's Republican Revolution, and now the Tea Party Revolution.

In each successive revolution, the lovers of liberty threw off a bit more of the yoke of the oppressive ruling class to reestablish some vital part of our God given liberty and freedom.

Pro-life, small government, big defense Ronald Reagan set and accomplished the goal of bringing down the socialist Soviet Union as a threat to the world and reestablished free America as the dominate superpower. He rescued America from the hapless Jimmy Carter who had dragged the nation down into to the depths of despair. Reagan taught us that our best years were indeed yet to come. He reinvigorated our economy by reducing government regulations and taxes and created a free market environment ripe for capitalism to flourish. A lover of life and freedom, he fought off the socialists and merchants of doom and death at every turn and sparked the beginning of the decades long Reagan Economy. He was a champion of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness and he delivered us from evil.

Pro-life, small government, big defense Reaganite, Newt Gingrich, set and accomplished the major goal of wresting the congressional majority away from the socialist Democrats who had held it for forty years. His conservative Republican Revolution cut the taxes, cut the spending, cut the deficit, cut unemployment, blocked President Clinton's progressive agenda, blocked HillaryCare, reformed welfare, defended life, and balanced the budget four years running, ensuring that the Reagan Economy flourished and stretched throughout his term and beyond.

Mitt Romney set goals of protecting and sustaining abortion as safe and legal in America. He sought to be more radical than Ted Kennedy in respects to "gay rights." He swore to defend Massachusetts' strict gun-control laws that "kept us safe" and promised not to chip away at them. He set and accomplished the goal of bringing big government healthcare solutions to his state and mandating that all formerly free citizens must purchase a government approved product or suffer a tax penalty. He loves mandates against the people.

He stated that he was an independent during Reagan-Bush and he was not returning to Reagan-Bush. And he didn't. Instead, he delivered taxpayer funded abortion, gay marriage, gun-control, socialized healthcare, busted budgets, ruined economy, liberal activist judges and a destroyed Republican label.

Romney was and is demonstrably per record an anti-Reagan, pro-big government, pro-abortion, pro-gay agenda, pro-gun-control, anti-liberty, pro-socialist healthcare, mandate-loving, liberal judge appointing, budget busting progressive.

He is without a doubt the exact opposite of Reagan, Gingrich, the Reagan Revolution, the Republican Revolution and the Tea Party Revolution.

If the Tea Party now embraces Romney, it will have accepted defeat and surrendered to the ruling class.

There is a reason why the elite establishment GOPers are pushing the anti-Reagan Romney and rejecting the pro-life, Reaganite Newt Gingrich. And I guarantee you, it's not in the best interest of the Tea Party or the Liberty we seek.

Not on my watch!! No Romney, no way!!

Rebellion is brewing!!

“Now you are an anti-Mormon bigot which is why this doesn’t seem clear or rational to you. Bigotry does that to the rational mind, hence the irrationality of bigotry.”

Yea. I understand your point of view as someone wearing magic underwear as you typed that.
You guys like to make it all victimization. Your call.

Yet your mormon church teaches that ALL Christian churches are false... so put that in your
mormon pipe and give it a smoke. If the mormon church repented from teaching a false God,
false Savior, false Gospel, etc. I’d welcome them with open arms to the Christian Church.

In the interim, while we wait, I’ll follow my conscience and not vote for a RINO enemy who
also belongs to a false religion.

Agree. The only reason Mormons support him is because he’s “one of them”. It’s all identity politics, and they can play the victim/bigot card.

You see someone encouraging others to vote for Romney just as a different opinion? When I want socialism,I won't be logging into FR - I know where to find it. Proud to be FReeper since Dec 3, 1997 How did you survive so long being so thin skinned? There is very little fight in you for conservatism and appear content in being robbed of what America stands for.

If conservative Republicans vote for Romney they will own him.

Get your oil checked, chump. No one could be that dumb and breathe on their own. I stomp on snakes in the grass and kick them out of my way-that's how I handle them - I don't want to own lying SOB'S!

2010 showed that a strong conservative contingent in the house can push through DC bs.

It is not just the presidency, we need to utterly dominate in the house and senate so as to be able to have conservatives override a RINO president when needed.

we need to focus on more having a boston tea party in congress.

I suggest we all do the same.

I suggest there is no picking what to support - we support it all from the top down. I'll not support listening to the libs and rino's in what 'they think' I shouldn't want in a president.

Go Newt - cream the b*^stards who are trying to take you out so they can keep control of our great country and stop you from canceling out all the damage they already did.

If the establishment is successful in forcing the GOP version of John Kerry on us as our nominee

They only can be successful if we don't vote for Newt in the primary. So we would be only adding to their success by waiting until the general. And pounding sand is just venting - it has no real value - and they could give a flip if you threw sand in their face as long as they get Mitt. Now is the time to speak and not wait until the general.

I think this article by Coulter is most naive. How can the Speaker carry a big stick, or to put it another way, there was never a speaker like Newt with regard of his accomplishments.

You carry a big stick as President, Ann. Do you get that? Do you understand that? Does it sink into that little brain of yours?

A year ago, I would never have thought Ann Couter and Laura INgraham would be supporting Romney.

Newt is the man. For the first time in a long time, we would have a leader who knows history and can articulate that with our allies and enemies. What we have now is a teleprompter and mouth piece. The guy know less about the History or this country than a 4th grader. He knows less about the culture of this country than a 3rd grader...

I think you and I agree on almost everything. Can’t tell you how elated I am to have Jim R agreeing with us too.

I remember a time not too long ago when Ann Coulter was welcomed at FR; there are still pictures of her with FR members somewhere back in the archives. But here she is, solidly in bed with Romney and the other northeastern RINO’s/liberals.

Yes, Ann's support of Christie and now Romney is a disappointment to me as well. Nevertheless she does get a lot of things right and I'm not willing to dump her just yet.

Were it up to me, anything linked to her would be zotted, and anyone peddling the harlot would be zotted as well.

You are fortunate that Mr. Robinson is more forebearant than myself. For supporting “Ann Coulter” is equivalent to supporting Mitt Romney.

Zowie! Where is Ronald Reagan now that we need him -- or at least a little of his spirit?

Frankly I don't support Romney, either. I also don't support the ZOT for people who do support Romney -- or any other candidate on our side of the fence.* If the only candidate is your candidate and you're going to ZOT people who differ in that opinion then you're the one who is thin-skinned.

So who is the conservative that you like?

* except Ron Paul who will get a lot of us killed

It is only through obfuscation that Romney can stand on the same stage with Gingrich and claim that he is a conservative.

But Newt can sit on the same couch with Nancy Pelosi and claim that he's a conservative?

(Anyone hear Rush talking about Newt's 2013 book today?)
