I’m guessing that these aren’t original Tea Party type folks. More like some sort of off shoot that has been infiltrated by moderates yet still refer to themselves as “Tea Party” to get in the news.

Sorry but the tea party has collapsed and gone into a full retreat. The fact that Newt Romney even registers with Tea Party voters should be all the evidence needed.

Saboteur Romney is the King of fake polls, fake endorsements,
fake badges, and fake, yes, fake tea parties:

From the fake Tea Partys such as the one
which attacked Gov. Palin from Texas
created by RINO Romney and Hudack

to the FAKE polls in Texas "informing" Gov Palin not to run
created by RINOs
to the rumor-fomenting Sullivans in S.C.both in bed
with RINOs
to the anti-Gov Palin rumors from Ken Crow in Iowa initiating
the rumors that Gov Palin would not Run for President.

“No true Tea Partier would vote for Weather Vane Sponge Pants RINOmney.”

There are no tea party candidates this time, except Bachmann, and in economic issues, Paul. Perry and Santorum are barely tolerable. Newt and Mitt are both unacceptable.

Newt is pushing ethanol subsidies, Amnesty and BigGov initiatives. Only few years ago he strongly pushed cap-and-trade. No real tea party person could support him. Now people had to take a look of Newt and found him identical or even more liberal than Mitt.

If Bachmann can pull of surprise win in IA and keep up the message, she is the only one who can save us. I still don’t trust Perry enough.

Under no circumstances NewtRomney.

Romney has "homes" everywhere.
Utah. California.

Heck, his father was Mexican born.

Makes him ineligible, like Obama.

No wonder the MSM and other enemies of the
the USA LOVE Mexican Mitt.


“US election 2012: Mitt Romney's life as a poor Mormon missionary in France questioned
Although he spent time in other French cities, for most of 1968, Mr Romney lived in the Mission Home,
a 19th century neoclassical building in the French capital’s chic 16th arrondissement.
…. “I would describe it as a palace”.
Tearful as he described … Romney aides had asked him not to speak publicly …
The building...was bought by the Mormons in 1952,
having been seized by the Nazis during the Second World War.
The Church sold it again..
.it was until recently the embassy of the United Arab Emirates.”


"(The GroundZero Mosque) cleared its final hurdle ….
developers plan to build the $100 million center which will include a mosque.
Since its incipient stages in July 2009, when a Muslim-run real-estate development
company purchased the damaged, vacant building and land where the new center
will be built, the project has sparked controversy and debate.
.... the tattered building that was bought by the Muslim real estate company had
been owned by a subsidiary of Bain Capital, a company Romney founded in 1984.

So it’s OK if his company can profit off the sale of the land ."


“Bain Capital, has cut checks totaling $90,000 to Romney’s operation. “

Allen West voted yes for the Military internment of American citizens bill...so did Rubio and Demint.
He really dissapointed me on that and was on Beck defending it.

I wonder if I can trust any of them.

One of the comments on the site of the article says it better and more accurately: "These establishment shills pretending to be Tea Party Candidates are insulting to our intelligence."

I agree, which is why republicans using the moral failures of democrats as an excuse for their own bad behavior, never works. By and large democrats don’t run on the ‘family values’ platform, and the one thing the american people seem to hate more than screwing around on your spouse, is being a hypocrite.

IMO, NH no longer is any bellweather.

IIRC, anyone can come to NH, claim intended residency (or something like that) and register as whatever you want.

The Masshole migration has certainly tainted the political waters from the Live Free Or Die state, so .. polls and such don't mean anything to me.

Imposters for a push poll. Probably Democrat leaning - believing identifying themselves as TEA people - will give Romney an edge.

Take a deep breath and quit smashing republicans for the bs that comes out of a left wing phoney polling organization. Below is the description of PPP by the mediot writing this bs posing as news.

Romney garnered 50 percent of the senior vote in the New Hampshire poll conducted by the Democratic-leaning PPP.

That is exactly what all these polls are trying to do!! Trying to demoralize the conservatives into voting for Romney. Sorry but I think Newt will do much better once the voting actually begins.

"I’m guessing that these aren’t original Tea Party type folks"

Sorry to disappoint you but I attended my first Tea Party in Fullerton,CA Feb.2009 and by April 2009 I was organizing and participating in my home county. I have stood solidly with Mitt Romney since the 2008 election. This is another example of how deluded folks here are about Mitt Romney. It reminds me of the Bush Derangement Syndrome. Whenever there is evidence that Mitt Romney is popular with conservatives you guys offer some silly conspiracy theory.

You have always been with backstabber Romney.


Romney for Obama in 2008

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."


The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.


"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."


"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."


"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

There is a lot of things to dislike about Romney but on a ‘family values’ platform he is hard to beat - seems about as squeaky clean as they come in that department.

Personally I think Romney is the only one that can beat Obama (for precisely the reasons he is disliked around these parts, because he is not very conservative) - whether or not he can win the nomination is a whole other question....

This is a dopey thread. NH is the home of the peasants with pitchforks. Buchanan and the old Flat Tax Jerry Brown/Steve Forbes did great in the Granite State. In the last election the Dems lost 300 seats in a 400 seat legislature after their rising tide in 2006 and 2008. There are Teep’s everywhere. It’s a mish mash of lefty’s, RINO’s and Teep’s. Just like every friggin’ place else.

That said, Romney has super close ties to the state. The Boston & Manchester TV stations only cover him and Gingrich. Newt is being swept along by the Union Leader while the Sununu’s (and the old GOP’ers) hate Gingrich. There is a news blackout on Santorum and Bachman.

As a simple matter of “who can win in the end” it’s obvious why folks would lean toward Mittens. What possible good could come of nominating Santorum or Bachman (my faves) and losing 40 states so we can all be pure and Obama gets 4 more years to dismantle our wonderful country ?

All we have to choose from is Newt, Mittens, Santorum, Bachman and Paultard ! This after the McLame and Dole fiascos. If you take the leap that Gingrich is a ticking negative-ad time bomb and not really that conservative and we MUST win the election what else are you going to do ? Write in Coolidge?

The Tea Party is not a “Party”. Anyone can claim to be a member, but only those who are anti-establishment are members in spirit. Romney is THE Establishment. No real Tea Party supporter would vote for Romney.
