Is Romney Losing the Enthusiasm Race? (Tea Party Not Excited about Mitt)

lol

no one except for the Mormons and the RINO’s were ever excited about Romney!

Everyone voted for him because they once again believed the big lie spread by the media that only a “moderate” could win.

*sigh*

Stop with the “RINO” stuff....that IS what Republicans are. Reagan was a brief respite, but this has always been what the Republican Party has been about.

LOL. I can guarantee you that the Anybody but Obama enthusiasm will trump everything else. I will crawl over broken glass to cast a vote against Obama.

I will too but I won't vote for Romney. Voting for Anybody but Obama does not have to come down to voting for Romney only.

Enthusiasm? What’s that? Oh, yes, that sense of optimism and exhilaration that I was feeling thanks to the combo of the almost-concurrent appearances of Palin and the Tea Party movement. The first time I really fully experienced that since those early, heady days of Reagan.

Nope, Romney and the GOP-e pretty much killed all that, this past year. Totally suffocated it. It’s really amazing when I think about it. The entirity of it, that is. After 15 years of viewership, I’ve stopped watching FoxNews. After 12 years, I’ve stopped visiting Drudge. Just about stopped listening to talk radio. My three-decade status as a news/political junkie seems to be coming to a virtual end. There just doesn’t seem to be any point anymore. That’s the legacy of Romney and this election season for me.

That's okay, Karl Rove told Willard that Conservatives will fall in line by November and show up to vote en masse. He has maps and charts to prove it. Willard should focus on getting the homo, pro-abortion, minority, open borders, and gimme-a-handout vote.

Once November rolls around Willard will have none of the above. Out of all the candidates, the worst possible choice. GOP-e is more concerned about keeping their power within the party and moving further left than saving the country which by the way can only be accomplished with a Conservative President and Congress.

“I’m not enthusiastic about Romney, but I couldn’t be more enthusiastic about voting Obama out.”

Exactly right! I would vote for a dog turd enthusiastically if it meant an end to Obama’s Presidency.

The story is from late last year but I didn’t see it till yesterday but one of the 4 votes to change Michigan delegate allocation rules got in trouble for using fake RNC stationary to push the national popular vote. This is our former GOP chair in Michigan. I’ll bet Mitt has big plans for Saul Anuzis. Mitt sure has run as if he were practicing for the national popular vote. He ignored the conservative areas and ran in Obama strongholds.

So. I hope you turn out to vote for all conservative candidates down ticket. We need and will get a huge turnout this election, which is why I think Obama will lose big.

It's shocking I tell you. Imagine, The Mandate Loving RomneyCare Candidate isn't inspiring to the TEA Party? Who would have thought that!

[VRWC For Truth]

The Robamany’s are both Socialists. The real Socialist wins and it ain’t Mittens.

Is it any wonder about the enthusiasm gap?

You don't even listen to Mark Levin?

Vote for Frankenstein's monster, the nation won't survive 4 more years of Dracula. Sure Franky murders little children, but the other guy sucks blood!

If that doesn't make you an enthusiastic supporter of the lurching bolt-neck, I don't know what will.

[Always A Marine]

I will crawl over broken glass to cast a vote against Obama.

I've been a Freeper long enough to read all the posts before adding my own. And you, you rotten sonofagun, you stole my line! I will proudly crawl beside you in November...

[upsdriver]

Yes, I intend to. Our victory lies in taking the Senate and holding the House. I expect the GOP presidential candidate will win but I don’t expect him to lead. I vow to fight him every step of the way. Romney is an FDR Democrat at best.

[MEG33]

So will I! Oust The Obamanation

[USS Alaska]

In contrast, Obama’s job approval rating has gone up from 42 percent in September to 50 percent today, and his disapproval rating has dropped from 50 percent to 45 percent.

Any yet today, Rasmussen, using LIKELY VOTERS IN HIS POLL, has Romney 49% and the halfrican, communist, mooselimb, prick at 44%... very strange.

But xzins, you would never look for a poll that slants things in your slanted direction, eh?

Why don't you use the poll results from moveon.org, they really have obama winning, and that should make you very happy.

MOOK.

Evidence of Romney's problem in Tea Party influenced states is that while Tea Party and conservative-backed office holders are solidifying their popularity, he does not seem to be benefiting from their popularity.

Except on Free Republic. :(
