To those of you with hopes of the “Great Tea Party” you do realize that on average 45% of them voted for Romney don’t you? The tea party is not made up of like minded rabid conservatives such as are on this site.
People can scream and yell that that the system is fixed but it’s not, people actually voted and got Romney to where he is today, and as hard as it is for many to accept, conservatives and tea party folks put Romney where he is, at the top.
It’s like I said before, John F. Kennedy would be to the right of most of those calling themselves Republicans today, that is the state of the union.
That's exactly right. It's like people haven't even taken the time out to look at the exit poll breakdowns from the primaries. Tea Party people elected in 2010 and folks like DeMint and Ted Nugent are even supporting Romney. They know he's the last man standing. No one stopped other conservatives from jumping into the race. Some chose to get in, others didn't, some were eliminated during the voting process and others dropped out. This is the end game and it is what it is. Anyone who thinks Newt is going to pick up enough delegates in the upcoming states and raise enough money to compete is out of touch with reality.
Can't really blame the politicians. We put them there and gave them the power over the past several decades. We created this new royal class of the professional political elite, and made ourselves their subjects by asking them to take care of us.

A good point which is roundly ignored. People rant against the GOP-e, but they’re not out paying people to vote for Romney.
