Ted Cruz, who rode a tea party wave to win the Texas Republican Senate nomination last week, said Sunday the movement will overwhelmingly support Mitt Romney in the November presidential election.
Mr. Cruz said tea party activists will rally in defense of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee because theyre energized to defeat President Obama.
I have spoken with literally thousands and thousands of tea party activists, and I have yet to met a single tea party leader that is not going to vote for Mitt Romney and work hard for him, Mr. Cruz said on Fox News Sunday.
Our country is in crisis, and weve got to stop this Obama agenda if were going to preserve opportunity for our kids and grandkids.(continued)

So how do we stop it from happening again?
We knew Mitt was going to run again, but otherwise we didn’t really know who was tossing their hat into the ring until the primaries were practically on top of us. Then it was conservatives in chaos.
We can be certain that the RINOs are already thinking about whose turn it is next.
Obviously, you wouldn't understand...
Agreed.
Obama’s proven he has no reservations about legislating via executive order, or making appointments as he pleases. And the GOP’s not going to impeach him.
Obama and the democrats know it.
Please make an honest and candid study of Romney's actual record. If all this was about was "don't have a need to agree with every single position of a candidate," then you'd have a good point. The the acutal reality is that Romney's documented and demonstrated ACTIONS are of a politician who has promoted and advanced every single major liberal agenda over the course of his political career.
There's a really good reason about 300 FReepers reject Romney, and it isn't because they're being purists. It's because they're aware that Romney is a liberal Democrat and has always been a liberal Democrat, and he is registered in the Republican party. When you ask me to vote for Romney, I am informed enough to know that you are asking me to vote for a liberal Democrat. This is not about merely disagreeing with Romney on a few issues. This is about a candidate who is opposed nearly 100 percent to conservatism and has a record to PROVE it.
I'm voting for a plurality.
Obviously, you wouldn't understand
What I did say is that an Obama re-election, coupled to a GOP Congress, dooms the economy to another four years of stagnation and will make it more difficult to eventually revive.
Well, let's see. If, as a social conservative I was to vote for a person that I believe (in this case I know) to be bad for me and for my country then I'd have to surrender my morally principled stand against that candidate thus abandoning my principles and personal beliefs for the sake of political expediency and that is exactly what you would have us do therefore making us no different than you and your kind. No thank you.
And that a Romney presidency plus a GOP Congress would result in an immediate economic pulse and a quick recovery.
I must disagree with that flawed reasoning. I said that gridlock may be far better than having Mittens in charge of both Houses of Congress. As I recall when we had divided government under Clinton and under previous Administrations Americans fared much better than when either party controlled both institutions in the past, say 100 years or so.
Oh, and if your reasoning was accurate then please pray tell just what is this magical plan for doing just what you claim?! Where can we read it for ourselves or is it just more wishful thinking your part once again?! Yeah, that's just what I thought!
Do you deny this? And would you prefer the country undergo another four years of economic hardship in order to fulfill your fantasy?
Won't be if enough conservatives, and not just RINO Republicans are elected to the Congress. Gee, that isn't really all that hard to figure out.
Good Lord...
I don't want Obama for another four years but with a Obama-lite President like Romney and a Congress filled with boot licking Romney RINO Republicans I feel they would do us all more harm in the long run. This country traditionally has fared better under divided government than with any one party in charge of the whole ball of wax. And I believe that is the way our forefathers envisioned it from the get-go.
So you may as well give up trying to convert me to your way of flawed thinking and reasoning as I'm not the least bit interested in doing things your way. I can think for myself thank you. OBTW, thanks for playing.
actually, our chances of taking the senate are probably better than taking the whitehouse which is to say, they are quite good. The Obama train comes to a screeching halt if it happens. As far as impeachment goes, the only thing that has prevented it thus far is Harry Reid. There is no doubt that with a GOP HOR and Senate, investigations into Obama wrong doings will become a priority.
True. No the GOP prefers a bottom of the barrel LIBERAL.
The GOP deliberately chose someone not of their platform - do you know why?
Or is same sex marriage their platform but the deceivers won’t print it. Same like romney’s page - THE LIAR makes himself out to be the saintly one. We know, he’s a godless POS.
So what they ‘claim’ to stand for and ‘truly do’ stand for a miles apart. The GreatOmissionParty. Would you join knowing they prefer liberals over Patriots. They are frauds and guilty of false advertising. Con artists/Rove, et al.
You highlighted it and replied:You will never see that, again. The left already bowed to evil, now evil has the right! It's over
I have questions. What will I never see again, joy? A pro life nominee from a political party? Why not? Because you say so? It is what I work toward and contribute to. Are telling me those are wasted efforts? I am a 4th degree Knight of Columbus. Explain to me please why I should have no hope. The Our Father is a good prayer to remind us of our humility. His will be done. Not no name's.
I believe you would be a hoot on a Yahoo board. What do you say sport, you ever leave the polite, safe confines of FR? You got the courage to match your convictions? I will pray you don't get banned if you think it will help. When you sign up you should use the name spoon.
Lets just say we disagree, completely. I'm not sure how you think Obama winning with a "plurality" is going to even enter into his mind as he plants more commies on the SCOTUS and undermines the constitution at every step. Hell he may even sell out our nuke contingency. The Obama admin is a bunch of lawless commie thugs. Four more years is NOT going to end with a more conservative limited government and that is a 100% certainty.
-——”There’s no such thing as voting “against.” It’s pretend. It’s talk. The ACTION and the REALITY is that any and every vote can ONLY be for something, whether it’s for a candidate, for a proposition, or for nixing a proposition. The only way you can vote “against” something is to vote FOR something to replace it. “
_______________________________
OK, dude, make up your mind:
1. You say there is “no such thing as voting against”
2. Then you say you CAN vote against something if you vote FOR something.
With logic like that, you sound like a liberal.
——”And you are advocating replacing a liberal Democrat with another liberal Democrat.”
That you even think they’re equivalent, is astonishing.
What about Romney’s business experience vs. Obama’s? Obama is a devout evil communist. At least Romney understands capitalism and turned the Olympics from a money pit into a profitable venture by cost-cutting. You should read about that.
OK, go ahead and cite Romney’s STATE-level healthcare plan in a State that has a majority of Democrats/socialists. He will not implement Obamacare or Romneycare at the Federal Level.
________________
——”You’re DAMNED RIGHT I really think Romney is as anti-American as Obama. You should too. “
Granted, Romney’s values are not ideal, but for you to say so shows complete oversight of his business acumen.
For me, business and free enterprise is THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT issue for this country at this point.
What Homos do is secondary. I have little interest in those issues because if we don’t have a functioning economy, we will descend into entitlement chaos and the breakdown of society as we know it.
Wake up! Can’t you see this??
It is IMPERATIVE that we oust Obama’s gang of Marxist thugs.
If you think Romney is equally Marxist and Thuggish as Obama, you’ve been living under a rock.
Romney is an expert at campaigning NOT to win.
Here is an idea that might move him off dead center: I think that Romney should SEAL his Federal and State Tax Records when he announces who his Veep will be.
That would give The Media a double surprise.
do you know why?
The above is perhaps a who, what, and why?
Stupidity is in the eye of the beholder, stupid!
