"At no time has Romney waded in with Tea Partiers. He kept his distance and vice versa. After the primary, most tea partiers realized he’s our only shot at ending the Obamanation. Romney has presented a plan that aligns with many tea party goals - reduced spending, debt and deficit reduction, tax reform, etc. Your entire assessment is bunk. Romney is a moderate right politician, and has not at any time in this election cycle pretended to be anything else. He’s a smart, accomplished man, and will serve our country well." -ilgipper

Brilliantly stated. Re-electing Obama affirms Obama's ideology of secularism, his redistribution socialist replacement of a free country, and his pushing us over the fiscal cliff into $20 trillion in debt by the end of his term. There are reasons to support Romney beyond the absolute and dire necessity of firing Obama, but that alone would be enough.

Mitt Romney won't just save us from the decline of the USA, but will right the ship in other ways that give us great reasons to vote FOR him. Romney's never pretended to be hard right or Tea Partier, and for that reason, many of us were skeptical of him in the primaries. But his campaign, his choosing of Ryan, and his debate #1 performance all point to a man who will stand on and affirm basic principles that America needs - like fiscal responsibility, free enterprise, pro-life and pro-liberty. He articulated conservative principles as well as an presidential contender since Reagan.

He will be more conservative that the Bush43 and Bush41 were, and America will be fortunate indeed to get him instead of 4 more years of Obama.

Romney ingratiated himself with the Tea Party Movement during the primaries.

In fact, I met him at a Tea Party Rally during the primaries where he spoke.

Some movers and shakers in the TPM supported him at that time, others got on the band wagon when they realized that the GOP would NOT nominate a Conservative. (This was after he was nominated, they kept pulling for Conservatives until that time.)

They gritted their teeth and started promoting him.

That being said, I don't see him as a Tea Party candidate. Except by default.
