Senator Kelly Ayotte Endorses Mitt Romney
The State Column ^ | November 21, 2011 | The State Column

Posted on 11/22/2011 8:01:51 AM PST by Saundra Duffy

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney received a coveted endorsement Sunday from New Hampshire Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte. Ayotte announced her support for Romney at a rally in Nashua, New Hampshire.

Ayotte believes Romney is the GOP’s best chance to defeat President Barack Obama. “I have been impressed by the amount of time Mitt Romney has spent in New Hampshire, holding open town hall meetings, answering the tough questions and listening to voters,” Ayotte said in a Romney campaign press release. Ayotte’s popularity in New Hampshire should help Romney, who skipped a conservative Christian forum in Iowa Sunday where several of his competitors attended and spoke about their religious faith and how it shapes their view of politics.

“Mitt Romney has proven through his experience as a successful businessman, effective governor, and by his excellent presidential debate performances that he is best prepared to lead our country and ensure Barack Obama is a one-term president,” Ayotte said.

I figured this might make it through the FR filters since it has to do with the Tea Party and the fact that Sean Hannity had Senator Ayotte on his program last night.

So a stealth socialist defeats the obvious socialist.

Saw Sen. Ayotte on Hannity last night.

Can't say I agree with her decision, but she is definitely eye candy.

My “angle” is a Tea Party endorsement and waiting to see if Kelly Ayotte will get the same thrashing and bashing that Ann Coulter got.

Even in a softer interview with People magazine, Romney kept his criticism on point. Asked by the celebrity magazine to say something nice about his potential rival, Romney praised Obama’s merit pay for teachers and said Obama was “a good example of a husband and father.”

Then he went back to his familiar refrain.

“But the plusses are far exceeded by the places where I’d give him a minus,” Romney said.

The interview included some nonpolitical questions about his Mormon faith.

“Never had drinks or tobacco,” Romney told the magazine when asked if he’s ever had a beer. “It’s a religious thing. I tasted a beer and tried a cigarette once, as a wayward teenager, and never did it again.”

Pimping Romney is still pimping Romney no matter the source.

What happened to you Saundra, what caused you to go off the deep end in so many ways...

Romney, who skipped a conservative Christian forum in Iowa

Maybe he wasn't invited.

Sean Hannity had Senator Ayotte on his program last night

Spammity also has Karl Rove on his show a lot. Coincidence?

Maybe Ayotte is on Peyote.

Do yours. Romney is a socialist to the nth degree, a pro-abortion, anti-2nd Amendment, pro-healthcare mandate loving piece of crap.

I don’t give a damn what Ayotte may think she is to a certain demographic in a particular area of the country. Get it through your head, the “T.E.A. Party” has no nucleus, it’s a collection of folks who have no leadership. None speaks for the other.

Still, it doesn’t change one damn thing about Romney.

He’s a fifth columnist hiding behind an R and your promoting him and his ilk is disgusting.

Poor Ayotte is exposed as a docile RINO,
and has NOTHING to do with the Tea Party
which hates RINOs in general,
and the backstabbing carpetbagger Romney, in particular.

There is no Party called the TEA Party, because it’s a movement.

Got it yet?

Oh, and Ayotte endorsing Romney only serves to identify her as a socialist as well.

Just because you call yourself something or attempt to affiliate yourself with a certain group, sure doesn’t make you one.

Into labels are you? Why not scratch the surface of your boy Romney if you’re as conservative as you claim? Because you’re into identity politics that’s why. You’ll excuse that fifth columnist’s warts because of a common thread in your lives.

You excuse his pro-abortion positions, his anti-2nd Amendment positions and his other socialist pov because you and he share a common identity.

Run with it! This is a huge scandal! The shame of it. The flip-flop. The hypocrisy. The . . . . you get the picture.

Sounds likr you dont like her...

“darling” is not a term used by people who admire someone...

and saying that the “darling” is of the TESA Party is to suggest the TEA Party is inferior or less than what you respect...

Is this so ???

For a lawyer usually so careful over her words, I have to take this comment of yours at face value...

If Mitt Romney is the “best” chance of beating Obama, who is “second best”? That is the horse I would get behind.

“Perfect” is the enemy of “good”. “Good” moves the ball better than waiting for “perfect”.

Mitt Romney would not move the ball at all. Too busy being perfect.

The truth is the Tea Party allows even socialist shills into their group..
Ayotte just “outted” herself.. i.e. needs to be defeated..(RINO)
