Tea Party Warms To Romney

Talking Points Memo ^ | 4/18/12 | Kyle Leighton

[Haiku Guy]

One chunk of the Republican electorate has proved an incredibly fickle voting bloc, denying party unity while the nominating process dragged on. It’s the same group of conservative voters that went from candidate to candidate, looking for an alternative to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

Now, out of options, it seems that those who identify themselves as tea party supporters are finally coming home to the presumptive nominee.

I remember this. Y’all did the same stick your head in the sand “hope they learn their lesson” type MISTAKE with George Bush I and look what happened. Just hold your nose and cast a vote against Obama no matter who it is. Get real.

[jennings2004]

“Hurl” alert?

[INVAR]

We will never be able to wrest the Republican Party from the establishment types. Rommey is their prototype, and they are going to beat us at this game, over and over again. We're stupid to keep playing.

That is why I am no longer going to play in their party or follow their rules or go along to get along.

Third Party is simply not an option. If we throw our weight behind a third party, we guarantee the election of whatever Socialist loser the Democrat machine puts forward, in perpetuity.

Perhaps not. The Whig Party comes to mind. I refuse to play by the rules the enemy has set up for us to play by. Poison is poison and since it is beign forced on us - I choose not to drink it thinking I'm buying myself more time. Such is stupidity. It's still poison.

Your solution is interesting, and at this late hour, no matter what we do now, it is going to take DECADES to turn this sinking ship around, if at all. If history is our teacher, then America is refusing to acknowledge what time it is, which makes the reckoning all the more complete and horrific.

[Haiku Guy]

“Should conservatives work to take over the Democrat Party?”

It's the only place left to go. Too late for this year, though...

[yldstrk]

You are resigning from the country and becoming a one man island? LOL LOL LOL

[mkjessup]

Romney is salmonella. Bon appetit!

Bon appetit my ass. I'm punching the effin waiter right in his ugly face, and I'm not stopping until I see teeth flying.

NO ROMNEY!!!

[Haiku Guy]

Yup,worked great for Ross Perot.A huge turnout...something like 20% of the vote.Anyone recall how many *electoral* votes he got?

Anyone recall who won the election with just 42% of the popular vote?

[Longbow1969]

Even before the RNC have a nominee?

It's true, Romney could have a heart attack or something before they make it official. Short of that though, yeah, Willard is the nominee. Paul was never a serious challenger and Newt is off having fun, visiting zoos and such and hoping people will continue sending in money to help pay down his campaign debt. One has to begin to wonder why Gingrich is even continuing to get secret service protection at this point.

[jersey117]

Your way forward is the best way forward.

[yldstrk]

South Texas, you are right. A vote for Romney (or whoever) is a vote against Communism.

Mitt Romney's global warming blunder

[McGavin999]

No. I don't plan on doing that. I will vote R down ticket, the problem is there are way too many voters who won't even bother to go to the polls because Mitt is luke warm at best. Luke warm doesn't win elections and I'm afraid we're going to lose the house and senate as a result.

You want to talk about damage? Think of Obama unchained.

"Tea Party Warms To Romney"

BULLS***! The "Tea Party" warms to Romney the same way it warms to the Bubonic Plague. When will you romneyites get it through your thick heads Conservatives do not 'like' or 'warm up to' liberals. Romney is a liberal and he cannot beat obomba.

PERIOD!

[TheGunny]

Absolutely right. Its one or the other...point blank period!

[Haiku Guy]

One has to begin to wonder why Gingrich is even continuing to get secret service protection at this point.

Hey, somebody's got to procure the hookers!

[jersey117]

he cannot beat obomba.

You are undedrestimating the anti-obama sentiment out there.

[CynicalBear]

>>Too soon?<<

Dayum right it’s too soon. The way those who claim to be conservative have given in to the GOPe is sickening. Newt is still in the race and is far better than Romney. This give in and give up attitude is why America is in the condition it’s in today. Instead of standing and fighting the weak fall in line. Shame, shame shame.

[TheGunny]

There is a nominee (some folks are just a little slower than others to recognize this)

[arderkrag]

BS!!!!

[cuban leaf]

There are plenty of ABO people in the TEA Party. Not enough of them, though.
