It is apparent that we did not give The Leaders of the Michigan Tea Party an IQ test before installing them.

Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today announced the support of Tea Party leaders in Michigan.
“In my campaign, I have fought for the conservative principles of lower spending, lower taxes and less government intrusion into our lives and our businesses,” said Mitt Romney. “The Tea Party has been at the frontline of this same fight. Along with the help of these Tea Party leaders, we can defeat President Obama and finally get Washington out of the way.”
Maribeth Schmidt, Co-Founder Of Rattle With Us: “As a mother of three and a Tea Party activist, my main concern is the 15 trillion dollar debt and I believe that Governor Romney has it right when he says that he will look at every government program and ask two questions: ‘Can we afford it?’ and if not, ‘Is it important enough to borrow money from China for?’ His positions on the national debt, Right to Work, domestic energy, and reducing the wages of government employees to match the private sector are why I am supporting him in Tuesday’s primary.”
Dennis Moore, Founder/Former Director-Willow Run Tea Party Caucus: “Leaders lead without putting a wetted finger in the air seeking consensus. Mitt Romney will be a ‘Reaganesque’ president. I could not in good conscience watch as the Tea Party invokes a litmus test that Ronald Reagan himself would have failed. So I led by personally endorsing Mitt Romney. This country needs Mitt Romney!”

Tea Party is turning into a real fail. I give up
Uh, there are no TEA Party leaders. This is bogus!
And some slam Santorum questioning the motives of some Tea Party people and Libertarians. Right here is all the evidence you need.
And they are essentially anti-Santorum.
I would count myself among them.
That's not to say I would not vote for Santorum in a General election, because I most certainly WOULD. But he is my last choice in the primaries.
Last.
“Endorse” him? I won’t even hold my nose and vote for him. Period.
I give up also. A bunch of power-hungry political groupies are co-opting the Tea Party. I can’t stand it! Why do we continue to allow these infiltrators and media to define us.
WE ARE THE TEA PARTY DAMMIT!!
And this is supposed to make me support Mitt Romney? I don’t think so.
Sounds like the establishment is making inroads infiltrating....
That’s not tea.
That’s dope.
Seriously. Fake tea, means nothing.
And henceforth, they shall be known as the Michigan Brie Party, for endorsing the establishment candidate.
Dennis, Did you look at Romney's record, or did he successfully BS you in Milford?
Really? My thoughts trended towards money will buy...just about anything.
Hey! I like brie, especially the kind with herbs mixed into the cheese.
Headfake. Mitt’s e-stab people are running out of arrows.
I was thinking the very same thing. Romney has bought a lot of support in his two runs for the nomination.
It is apparent that we did not give The Leaders of the Michigan Tea Party an IQ test before installing them.
I wonder how much Romney paid them.
That could be it too, but the first time I ever heard about the Tea Party I knew it was just a matter of time before the powers that be would try to infiltrate.
I know back when Romney ran for president in 08, he donated $2000 to almost every Republican group out there.
This wouldn't surprise me a bit, especially combined with Romney talking the talk.
