Tea party leader warns Romney: Don't expect us to campaign for you

The Daily Caller ^ | 04/13/2012 | Alex Pappas

[CaptainKrunch]

The leader of the Tea Party Nation organization has a blunt message for likely Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney: Tea partiers will likely vote for you, but don’t expect them to get energized and campaign for you.

“The tea party is not going to coalesce around Romney,” Judson Phillips told The Daily Caller on Thursday. “Most of us will vote for Romney, but we will not be out there with signs for him or in his campaign.”

 

[CaptainKrunch]

Whoop, there it is..

Extremely pissed off at the GOPE for pushing O'Romney on us at this point.  Seriously thinking of not voting at all for two reasons (both born of rage) 1.  Punish the GOPE for pushing another liberal candidate on us, and at an extremely critical time in our nations history, and 2.  Punish those stupid white people for voting Obama in to begin with (more than likely sad-sack sympathy votes strickly based on the color of his skin and completely devoid of any regard to the content of his character).  These people need to feel the impact of their idiocy by witnessing the destruction of their country and the dismantling of their freedom.  Hopefully we can pull the nation back from the precipice after O'dumba's 2nd term and the nitwits will have learned a lesson that will last a generation or two.

Maybe my rage will have dissapated come Nov. 2.  Or maybe not.  I don't see the point in voting for someone who is the actual architect of the ill-advisable commiecare act that we all hate.

 

[Jim Robinson]

No way in hell will I support or vote for the abortionist, homosexualist, gun grabbing, liberal judge appointing, big government socialist healthcare pushing, mandate loving progressive and compulsive liar, Mitt Romney!!

FUMR!!

[Yosemitest]

A Primary election is still a "Primary" and should be treated as such.
As long as there is another choice, other than "TROJAN HORSE" Romney, I'll support the other choice.
That choice now is Newt.
If we nominate Romney, Romney will lose.

On another thread, WhiskeyX's analysis is very good on

Republican Primaries being manipulated by RINOs, and mind-numb Democrats following marching orders from the left.

" The Democrats-Progressives-socialists-communists-whateverits have a political tactic in the elections in addition to their typical vote frauds.
What they do is
have a Democrat pretend to run for election as a Republican in the general primary election against a genuine Republican challenger
who threatens to unseat an incumbent Democrat.
In the general primary election they then instruct nearly all of the Democrat voters,
their zombie voters in the graveyards, their captive nursing home voters, and voters in the prisons
to vote as Republicans for the Democrat running as a Republican in the general primary election.
Then the fake Republican candidate puts up a token campaign which loses
to allow the Democrat incumbent to win the General Election in November.
In this way the Democrats get to run only Democrats in the General Election,
leaving no genuine Republicans for Conservatives to vote for in that election.
Romney is represented as a former independent voter turned Republican,
but he serves the same purpose as the typical Trojan Horse Democrat running for election as a Republican. "

"Mitt, It's Time To Quit!"



Mitt. It’s time you quit!
Your credibility isn’t worth spit.
RINOs, the “Establishment”, and Democrats all agree,
But in the General Election, to Obama they’ll flee.
Against Obama, liberals and moderates know you’ll lose.
But conservatives, Romney they’ll never choose.

Mitt, our loyalty you can’t buy.
Back to Massachusetts, you’d better fly.
Just like Gerald Ford, Bob Dole, and John McCain,
Nominee Willard Mitt Romney will result in the same.
As a Governor, your record isn’t that great.
Out of 50 states, your popularity was number 48.

Your experience, the “Establishment” types tout.
Defending federal bailouts and FDIC loan forgiveness will find you out.
Democrats and RINOs cower from their liberal wives,
Supporting Romney with nothing but lies.
In 1994 Ted Kennedy showed Willard to be a great bane,
With Mitt’s Bain, and Bain Capital, Obama will do the same.

Damon Corp, with Romney paid $119 million in a fine.
Yet Willard says, for his leadership, it’s time.
He claims jobs he can create and taxes he can lower,
47th out of 50 in growth he rates. Can it get any slower?
$740.5 million dollars a year, fees and taxes under Mitt increased.
Will the half-truths and lies from Romney ever cease?

For Liberty and Freedom, we don’t need “Flakes”,
But Romney says Healthcare responsibilities belong to the States.
Conservatives stand for “Self-responsibility, Self-accountability, and Self-reliance.”
But against these things, Willard’s actions scream in defiance.
“Establishment Republicans” thinks Romney can help take back the Senate,
But they know that for President, Mitt can NOT win it.

Like everything the “Establishment Republicans” try to do,
It leads to failure, and we get the bill, as well as the screw.
In their corruption, little change do they seek,
They don’t want our Freedom to peak.
Their craving for power has pushed their bravery,
To ignore our Constitution, and sell us into economical slavery.

So Willard, don’t lecture us on the need for “patience” and “compromise”.
Romney, be selfless. Conservatism is on the rise.
Choosing the lesser of two evils, isn’t what we desire.
You let them rewrite the language. Where’s your fire?
Romney, they accuse us falsely, and you do little.
Where’s your response, or can you only twiddle?

Mitt, you don’t have what it takes to lead.
So with you I plead.
Do you really want to go from Obama-care to Romney-care?
With you, this nation will pull out its hair!
Go somewhere and quietly think … and sit.
“Know your own limitations!” Mitt. It’s time you quit!

If we nominate Romney, Romney will lose, intentionally!

RUSH: Santorum Was Right About Romneycare

Read this article.


The only way Conservatives will lose to the Kenyan Turd is IF the "Establishment Republicans" REFUSE to support the Republican Nominee.
Now the "Republican Establishment's" hatred for conservatives is well known.
Jon Bershad wrote about Rush's analysis of their PANIC.


How many times has the "Republican Establishment" treated us to one lecture after the other on the need for “compromise” and “patience.”?
After we elect and RE-elect the "Republican Establishment", they conduct themselves with none of the confidence and enthusiasm with which they expressed themselves on the campaign trail.
It may be worth it for the GOP to lose some elections - if it means that conservatives—and the country—will ultimately win.

If we didn’t know it before, WE ... the Tea Partiers, now knows that accepting short-term loss in exchange for long-term gain is the essence of compromise, the essence of politics.

Ironically, we can thank the "Republican Establishment" for impressing this so indelibly upon us!!!
I'm fresh out of "patience", and I'm not in the mood for "compromise".
"COMPROMISE" to me is a dirty word.
Let the RINO's compromise their values, with the conservatives, for a change.

My dislike for the Democratic Party is second to none.
But my ... LOATHING ... for the "Establishment Republicans" ... is even stronger!
The "Establishment Republicans" can go to hell!

[Jim Robinson]

There will be no campaign for Romney on FR!!

[dragnet2]

Tea partiers will likely vote for you, but don’t expect them to get energized and campaign for you.

How stupid do they think we are? This is nothing but political propaganda BS... Ya just knew the Republican insiders would support another liberal.

[Berlin_Freeper]

The Libs have control of both parties.

[CaptainKrunch]

"There will be no campaign for Romney on FR!!"

I feel your rage.

It's an easy stand to take, as Romney is antithetical to just about every political position that we believe in.  But the consequences for this stand shall be severe.

 

[Jim Robinson]

Rebellion is messy business.

[Christie at the beach]

Romney is the worse that we have had forced upon us because he has been for all of the issues and set many polices in which fiscal and social conservatives, independents and common sense thinkers find in respect against their ideology. Once you give up and leave your convictions, what else do you have. Once he gets this from us, he won't need anything from us again. What would be our leverage. The more he insults the conservatives, he will gain more liberal democrats to his side where he feels comfortable with. He is lying now to the gun owners. I hope the NRA does not endorse him. Someone has to stand up with their principles. Most of the voices on our side (patriots) seem to have folded or caved in to the Karl Rove scenario-it’s Mitt. The public said no in every poll to the bail outs. No one-listened to us. GW Bush left his free market ideas aside to put government in control of a company. This is what we want, again. The same people in control. Now, they ask us to be good little boys and girls, and back this man. Obama will crush this man in the fall.

[dragnet2]

Some have failed to realize, the Democrats and Republicans have been riding in the same limo, for many years now.

[prisoner6]

DITTO to that JR!

Another HUGE problem is going to be IF Romney actually wins. If anyone votes for him how do they lobby against his policies from the day he's sworn in?

There can be NO honeymoon! NONE!

As it stands now I am only voting down ticket in the general. Since I am not registered republican I can not vote in the primary.

[prisoner6]

This thread reminded me to get off my butt and get my donation in! Had a few minutes here at work so I just sent it in via Visa.

God Bless Jim, John and the rest for all they are doing to preserve The Republic!

[jammer]

Sure, that democrat strategy works, also. Not new. Although I’ve never voted for a democrat in a real election, I did vote for Jessie Jackson in the 1984 and 1988 primaries, under the same principle.

[Yosemitest]

As long as we can vote for another choice in the primary, we should ... and that choice is Newt.
All we need to do is turn out the vote in the rest of the primaries.
Act! Don't just talk!

[Louis Foxwell]

If there were ever a time for the emergence of a conservative third party this is that time. It happened with Lincoln. The Lincoln party has abandoned its roots. We need another Lincoln.

[carriage_hill]

"come Nov. 2"

come Nov. 6

Nov 2 is when I'm telling lib-dems to vote; WE vote on Nov 6.

[Lewis Morris]

Since I live in NY I have the luxury of voting for whomever I want and it really won’t matter. I hope Gary Johnson gets the Libertarian nomination and I hope he’s stoned at all his public appearances. It would even be better if he would start showing up with one of those Bob Marley hats on. I want the GOPE to know that if I have to choose between Mitt and a guy so high he doesn’t even know where he’s at, I’ll choose the stoner.

Judson Phillips told The Daily Caller on Thursday. “Most of us will vote for Romney

Damn Judson needs stronger tea!! He's is mighty weak!! And a fighter he is not. Boston would have thrown him and his 'most of us' overboard, we don't need weak - they are a dime a dozen. A Patriot he is NOT!

[presently no screen name]

We need another Lincoln.

"WE" have Newt.

[tommix2]

There will be no campaign for Romney on FR!!

I agree.

[presently no screen name]

Romney voters are pissant AFRAID voters - they live in fear and are GUTLESS. They aren’t real American Patriots!

GO NEWT!! Take America back from the evil. Evil wants to stay in our house and he doesn’t care if it’s with mitt or barry, just a way of assuring himself, either way he’s not losing. Stomp on the maggot mitt!

[AlexW]

Jim, while I very well understand your dislike for the big RINO, we need to concentrate on saving the country from Marxism/Obamunism.
I do not need to bother with an absentee vote, as I am from Tennessee, and I know that my state will not vote Obumbo, any more then they did for home-boy Gore.
Since you are in California, I guess it is a moot point, but in other states it will be very close and in those states FReepers need to vote, even if for the lesser of two evils.

As I have viewed from ten years abroad, America is sinking very fast, and another four years of the Communist will do her in.

[presently no screen name]

It’s not rocket science to know they are the same. Different limos only when campaigning to reign in the ‘deceived’ and those who succumb to evil easily.

Vote for AMERICA - NEWT’S every cell in his body screams AMERICA!!

[Nucluside]

I know Gary, and he does not smoke dope and is not a Rastafarian. He just thinks that people have a right to choose their own poison. He was a sober, smart, libertarian-conservative governor who established the standard in my former state for fiscal responsibility. He set a record as a governor who vetoed more spending bills than all the other govs. of NM put together. If he has a fault, it’s that he is a lousy golfer, but he is a world class athlete. I am not voting for him; he hasn’t a chance in hell, but he is one hell of a fine man

[presently no screen name]

even if for the lesser of two evils.

Never consider 'even if the lesser' - that's a give up spirit - NOT an American spirit.

WE HAVE NEWT! $upport him.

[ScottinVA]

As the Grumpy Old Patrician party no longer seems to welcome conservatism as its bedrock for policy making, may I recommend: Virgil Goode /Constitution Party 2012!!

[Jim Robinson]

To hell with that b/s. I’m not going to vote for, support or allow to be supported on FR a damned abortionist, homosexualist socialist. Romney, Rove & Co. can KMA!!

NO ROMNEY!! Piss on ‘em!!

[zeebee]

She is everyone blaming some Republican “establishment?”
It was the Republican voters who chose Romney. No one forced anyone to do anything.
Personally I was for Newt, but Romney won his position fairly and has shown himself to be a good campaigner.

[jazzlite]

...”Jim, while I very well understand your dislike for the big RINO, we need to concentrate on saving the country from Marxism/Obamunism.

I totally agree with you. If Obama gets another four years , unrestrained, there will be no coming back..At least we know Romney is a citizen of this country. The powers that be will not allow us to vet this President. He, from all indications, does not understand our Constitution and even seems to hate the individual freedom it gives. Looking at the big picture, I just cannot agree with those who believe there is no choice between Obama and Romney..Do not let emotion guide your decision in this election..I would prefer Newt but he will not be the nominee.

[zeebee]

Oops.

She= Why

“Why is everyone blaming...”

[Jim Robinson]

B/S!! Romney has no where close to a majority of the Republican voters!! Go to hell RINO pusher!!

[Jim Robinson]

Can’t you read?!! No effing ROMNEY!! Take your surrender monkey ass elsewhere!!

[presently no screen name]

but Romney won his position fairly and has shown himself to be a good campaigner.

What are you freak'n nuts? He didn't win anything, money did. He's a POS LIAR and a LIBERAL with the commie media behind him and paid off others for supporting him. It's not rocket science to know that so why don't you?

[C210N]

Agreed...

The kicker for me is the difference not for the next four years, but for the next 40. And that is related to who/what is put in perhaps 3 SCOTUS appointments during the term. The SCOTUS now at 4-4-1 just CANNOT be tipped to the left one inch. Of course, I feel I’m between proverbial Rock/Hard-place, as Rotney shows capability of appointing kagen-like justices here in MA; but a Senate in ‘R’ control can keep this in check, whereas even an ‘R’ Senate can not/will not for zer0.

[zeebee]

I think the point is he earned more delegates. Let’s see who gets the majority of Republican voters now that it is a two-man race.

[Jim Robinson]

The point is I’m not going to vote for an abortionist/socialist come hell or high water, so KMA!! Now get the hell off of FR if you’re going to try to push that lying bastard!! Get it through your thick skull: NO ROMNEY!! Sheesh!!

[presently no screen name]

He didn’t ‘earn’ anything, he bought it! Stop misrepresenting the liars actions!

He bought ads, print, TV and radio with LYING about NEWT - mitt has NO record of accomplishments of a republican but a LIBERAL!!

Mitt’s an evil imposter - the same evil that invades barry. Evil just wants you to pick the color - ‘it’ doesn’t care as they are both useful to him/evil.

[Diogenesis]

Backstabber ROMNEY cheated in 2012, just
as he attacked Gov. Palin’s children through surrogates
in 2008.

If Romney is on any ticket, I will work against it,
no matter which party Bishop Backstabber is on.

[mom4melody]

I’m a Tea Partier. Mitt’s not my first, second, or even third choice.

But I’ll support him over odumbo. At least he can proce he’s an American.

[mom4melody]

prove.....geez.

[Timber Rattler]

Never forget how we ended up where we are today...

Next for GOP leaders: Stopping Sarah Palin

Screw Romney and the GOP-E he rode in on...

[who knows what evil?]

Most of us will vote for Romney...

You don't speak for me, Phillips...I will not be voting for the liar and fraudulent sewage that is Mitt Romney. Let the chips fall where they may...

[muawiyah]

Which is actually not true ~ the Democrats went all the way over to the Stalinist branch of evil a long time ago. They are not riding in the same limo with the Republicans ~ who are, instead, relegated to running along side the limo

[Diogenesis]

Backstabber Romney and Team attack CHILDREN.

YOU LIKE THAT?

FLASHBACK:

The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts
in some polls, days prior to Election 2008.
So rather than helping the GOP, Romney and
TeamROMNEY and the RNME (Republican National Media Establishment)
decided …to attack Gov. Palin to throw Election2008.

Romney, and the Van der Sloot RNME RINOs 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?"

[broken_arrow1]

I’m a Tea Partier. Mitt’s not my first, second, or even third choice. But I’ll support him over odumbo. At least he can proce he’s an American.

Voting for Romney over Obama is the easy way out, but both paths lead to serfdom. Romney didn't win the primaries fair-and-square as the political pundits would have you believe. In many states, the GOP launched a lot of RNC contribution money (10:1) against conservative candidates disguised as Super PACs. This was never a fair fight! A lot of contributors to the RNC should be very upset with how their money was spent.

When would the GOP machine ever stop pushing their candidate against conservatives? Now is the time to stand your ground, hold firm. The future is not pretty, but we can rebuild after Obama destroys the Federal form of government and power returns to the states by collapse or secession.

[muawiyah]

Romney won nothing fair and square ~ here in Virginia he got the delegates because his paid lackeys in the state government (the Governor and the Lt. Governor) sold out the people and changed all the rules at the last minute so that Romney didn't even need to have the signatures on his phony nominating petitions verified.

With only him and a nut job on the ballot Virginia voters stayed away by the hundreds of thousands.

In fact, we usually have well over 1.5 million primary voters (in a totally open system) and this time we got a small fraction of that.

Romney simply does not attract the party base! If you can't do that you lose!

[cripplecreek]

Same here. My reason for voting will be to move the Stabenow seat to the right.

Romney never behaved like he wanted my vote and in fact called me “insignificant”.

[who knows what evil?]

No way in hell will I support or vote for the abortionist, homosexualist, gun grabbing, liberal judge appointing, big government socialist healthcare pushing, mandate loving progressive and compulsive liar, Mitt Romney!!

Ditto...we don't want this Massachusetts trash in the White House.

[cripplecreek]

Romney is the general who will lead us into an ambush then bargain for his life with ours.

[catfish1957]

Sorry Mr. Phillips, I will vote for the most conservative candidate. Likely that will be Libertarian or Constitutional party.
