Cruz: Tea party ‘overwhelmingly’ behind Romney
The Washington Times ^ | August 5, 2012 | Sean Lengell

Posted on 08/05/2012 4:48:20 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

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 they’re “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 we’ve got to stop this Obama agenda if we’re going to preserve opportunity for our kids and grandkids.”(continued)

In a shipwreck, do I bitch that the only lifeboat available isn’t painted my favorite color or equipped with mineral water?

You are right. Just look at the last couple of responses to my posts. Romney is evil and Romney is this or that. I have asked them who they are voting for and get nothing except some say Goode on yesterdays posts. I try to talk about the $20 trillion in debt over the next 4 years if Obama gets back in. It all falls on deaf ears just like the 3 monkeys.

“It's time for the Romney-hating crybabies to grow up and face facts.”

But, But, but....they're going to vote for the only “real conservative” Virgil Goode! (Heaven help us!)

The fact that these people have more rage at Romney than Obama says volumes. Sorry, but this is unhinged, kook behavior.

I got news for you brother, Mitt Romney isn’t any more interested in the conservative cause than Barack Obama is. There is no difference between these two. Furthermore, it is you who blindly rushes forth to cut off his nose to spite his face. A Romney defeat is a conservative victory as far as I’m concerned. It is, in fact, our only path to defeat and we should all be unified in our opposition to him for this very reason. The Gay old party forced Mitt Romney on us against our will. Turn your back on them and let them see the error of their ways. Bottom line: the optimal conservative outcome in this election will be taking the senate and losing the whitehouse.

We have. Fact is he’s a liberal. His record is that of not just a liberal but a far left liberal. And liberals are responsible for the mess America’s in. Try to argue against the truth of that statement and you are either delusional or a liar. To yourself and everyone around you.

Only an abject fool would empower more liberals thinking the situation will improve. Any ‘grown up’ with the ability to use logic and reason sees this clearly.

Kook behavior is being pissed of at conservatives for voting for conservatives and promoting conservative ideas on a conservative website. Actually it’s the behavior of liberals. Kook, lib...same thing. Whatever, you’re doing it spectacularly.

What exactly do you think standing behind one’s beliefs means? But for a practitioner of situational ethics, voting for a lib is easy. I just thank God the founding Fathers had more sense than the ABO braintrust. Or we’d all be singing “God Save the Queen”.

At some point, I think it was in the mid-90s, there was some kind of cosmic event and reality split along two paths. The correct one and this one. This one has gone ‘progressively off into la la land. There’s no other explanation as to how many people lost their ability to think and act like intelligent beings.

It’s like the Star Treck ‘Spock’s Beard’ episode. There you had a vulcan ruled by emotion. Here we have people on the Right promoting the biggest lib the GOP ever produced and slamming any who won’t follow them to destruction.

that 4 more years of the Kenyan Marxist will be a disaster from which this nation will not recover...

Some trees, the Jack Pine most notably, can only grow after a forest fire. It's seeds only sprout where there has been scorched earth. Conservatism is a lot like that. I am not afraid of scorched earth, I'm looking forward to it.

Just like Palin, Gingrich, santorum, Bachmann, and 99 percent of candidates running for office from dog catcher to senator in every state.

Sumbitches don't know nothin' 'bout nothin'.

But, we, we the p250, WE know that in order to defeat zero we must vote for Goode or Hoefling, yeah, that's the ticket.

Of course, to show our support for our country, we will vote straight R down ballot, to show 'em we mean business.

Never mind that every other person we support and vow to vote for is in fact supporting and will vote for Romney.

We just have not wrapped out minds around that one yet.

Oh yeah, one more thing. Unlike DU and those other sites, and libs in general, we allow debate and differences of opinion, well, except, if one is supporting romney, then they are zotted on sight, or at least ping JR relentlessly, pointing the finger and yelling BLASPHEMER!

They are plants FRiend.
It is like the Moslem Brotherhood, al Qaeda,
and Hasan in the Obama/DMC administration.

They bombed us over and over, but they are allowed into
the Moslem-0bama-antiAmerica White House
even as they plan attacks on Americans.


"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
 over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
 to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn't make any sense at all.""

--  President Ronald Reagan

You are right, we should not fear that if Mr. Romney would lead, he also will be called to account. Let us pray he fulfills his tasks with joy should he become elected.

Manipulation is a tactic of satan. So let me un manipulate what you manipulated.

The fearful crowd bowed to evil with their support of mitt the maggot! Easy to get - satan uses fear to have people bow to them. See, evil used evil Barry to pull it off! Fear is the opposite of faith.

And you cannot call him in account - what's wrong w/you? You have NO power - you already bowed to evil/satan. Your 'usefulness' is over and you served evil well!

When some political party has as it's nominee a pro life and marriage candidate, (redundant IMO), we will be joyful.

You will never see that, again. The left already bowed to evil, now evil has the right! It's over. And Mitt is AGAINST traditional marriage and the maggot, personally, married some of his faggots. And the maggot is PRO ABORTION and he has it cheap - $50 a clip - under his Romneycare.

And that is what YOU put your personal stamp of approval on!

Pray? LOL! Who do you expect will listen to you as you KNOWINGLY AND WILLINGLY bowed to evil.

Handing over America to EVIL - that God had HIS Hand on is not wise. So when His blessings/protection slowly fade away - KNOW you had your hand was in it. You can only serve one master and the day will come when you will see GOD face to face and it WILL happen for IT IS WRITTEN . Seeing you choose EVIL - you will have it for eternity!

"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money." Matt 6:24

See how evil works - it deceives and you ALWAYS loose more than you ever think you 'might' gain!

Calling evil into account - LOL!! After turning over your obedience to it!! Man, you are deceived! EVIL owns you and YOU WILL bow forever when it commands you! You are a prime target for the mark!

Good lord. All he was saying was that the overwhelming majority of TeaPartiers will wind up voting for Myth. He’s clearly right about that. I may even vote for the dirtbag myself...still don’t know.

All I know is I hope he picks a Rubio or other real conservative so I can get the Romney/Rubio bumpersticker and cut off the “Romney” bit.
