Gov. Nikki Haley announced her endorsement of Mitt Romney in mid-December.
The Republican presidential candidate, regarded to be somewhat moderate, earned her Tea Party support because he knows how the private economy works, how to fix it, and most importantly how to solve problems, Haley said in her announcement.
The fact that Romney knows how to donate to campaigns might have more to do with it, though.
His Free and Strong America political action committee donated $36,000 to Haleys campaign in 2010.
And shes not alone, either. Romney has, to date, received 35 endorsements from politicians his PAC donated to first, implying those open supporters may just be returning a favor, or were even paid for that favor early on.

A one term gov, you don’t mess with the Tea Party in SC.

Endorsementbuying.
The others ought to tear Willard a new one in the South Carolina debates over this kind of corruption.
PS Anyone know if the Establishment South Carolina GOP, like four years ago, will bar any candidates from the debates to have their own cozy little gathering? (Like their excluding Duncan Hunter even though he had more delegates than another candidate who was allowed to debate)?????

All you need to do is stop the funding . Repubs have the house, yet the funding continues.
To: NoPrisoners
Only $36,000?!?
Not only does Nikki turn out to be a whore, she’s a relatively CHEAP whore in the overall political sense.

Good Morning FRiend! THAT bears repeating and in a loud voice!
The GOP-RINO establishment were determined to drive out Duncan Hunter for two reasons: he was an absolute Reagan conservative who arrived with the Gipper in Washington in '80, and after he decried the "Kennedy Wing of the Republican Party" they KNEW he had to go.
Duncan Hunter was the finest President of the 21st Century that the voters never had the damn common sense to recognize.

Oh Romney was already in her purse long before the Tea Party endorsed her in SC.

Haley palling around with Mitt is disappointing to say the least. At first I thought it was payback for him endorsing her. But the level of coziness is disconcerting.

If Rush Limbaugh can say “SEE, I told you so”, then so can I. Been sayin’ for a year now that RINO Romney has bought, and paid for the GOP nomination, and that’s why so many head spinning endorsements.
I’m going to remember these people that care only about themselves, and to “H” with their country.

I refused to believe all the talk about Nikki Haley's lack of both veracity and integrity during the gubernatorial campaign—after all, she was shoved to the head of the pack by Sarah Palin and then given the victory by our Tea Party...
...guess I was wrong.
Mark Sanford was a horndog but at least he wasn't a backstabbing RINO.
Gawd how I miss Carrol Campbell.
