I keep saying that Romney will lose to Obama. Here it is.

Mitt Romney's nomination to the GOP candidacy would depress the base by 48%. This is huge. How can Romney win with half of his base gone just like *snaps fingers* that?

[HiTech RedNeck]

This is half of “Tea Party Nation” not half of the bloomin’ GOP.

[EGPWS]

If Mittins is the nominee, 0bama will get a 2nd term because conservatives won't vote for a liberal hack no matter who it is.

Conservatives are principled.

[Savage Beast]

I’m one of them. In a contest between Romney and Obama, I will definitely vote for Romney. A third party candidate would hand victory to Obama and accomplish nothing else.

[Diogenesis]

We will work against the GOP if Romney is on the ticket.

FLASHBACK:

Fake-badge Mitt Romney and Bill Hudak
are now linked to the creation
of fake Tea Partys, including the very one
which attacked Gov. Palin from Texas
(see post 11)

[Big E]

Well, I guess the question is, how much of the GOP is made up of the Tea Party? If Romney gets 85% of the GOP votes, and 50% of the Tea Party votes, will that be enough to beat Obama? I don’t know.

I know I’m one of the 48%. I will not vote for Romney. I believe he will do more damage than Obama. At least if Obama is President the GOP Senators and Reps act like Republicans. They won’t do that if Romney is President.

[Caipirabob]

I will NEVER vote for socialist mittcare romney. Even if Cain debases and humiliates himself by taking the Veep slot, I will NOT support that socialist scumbag romney.

I got burned by the GOP enough with mccain.

NEVER AGAIN...

[who knows what evil?]

‘Tea Party Nation’? Anything like ‘Red Sox Nation’? Sure hope not...born losers.

[A_perfect_lady]

I guess Obama’s getting another term. Maybe we need to hit rock bottom before people learn. Let me go see how much dried rice and peanut butter I have...

[Mr. K]

what we need is a TEA PArty march on GOP headquarters

NO MORE DEMOCRAP-LITE CANDIDATES!!!!

[MadelineZapeezda]

Those 12% better get their collective azzes to vote...especially for the Senate candidates & House. There is no reason to sit at home.

[Yosemitest]

The "LAME Stream Media" keeps selling horse hockey, but the base ain't buyin'!!!

There's no way in hell I can compromise my values.

Jack Kerwick wrote an article on May 24, 2011 titled The Tea Partier versus The Republican and he expressed some important issues that I agree with.

(excerpt)

... It may be worth it, the Tea Partier can tell Republicans, for the GOP to lose some elections if it means that conservatives—and the country—will ultimately win.

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

Ironically, he can thank the Republican for impressing this so indelibly upon him.

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.

The "Establishment Republicans" can go to hell!

[Rapscallion]

As a conservative I will consider it best to just stay home if Romney is the candidate of any party.

[boycott]

If Mitt is the nominee, I will vote for him.

On abortion, he said that he was wrong in the past. I can accept a man admitting that he was wrong.

On his healthcare bill in Mass, he had no choice. It was all the work of the liberals in the state legislature. He vetoed a lot of what was sent to him but he basically had no choice because he was in the most liberal state in the union.

I didn’t think much of Mitt before but I’ve talked to conservatives in Mass so I now have a better understanding of his history. I am okay with him now. Mitt was about as conservative as you could be in a state like Mass. ROMNEY IS STILL NOT MY TOP CHOICE BUT I’LL SUPPORT HIM 100% IF HE’S THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.

If the “Tea Party Nation” doesn’t support Romney if he’s the nominee, they can all kiss my #$#^. The “Tea Party Express” had a similar attitude and got us 6 more years of Harry Reid. They cost us Delaware’s senate seat. I can name a few others but I am not going to waste my time.

Instead of pouting about not getting 100% of what I want, I’d rather get 75% than 0 (0=obama). I am going to support this nation by voting against obama.

[Tribune7]

I have thought about this and have concluded that I would vote for Romney if he is the nominee.

OTOH, I would vote for Mishka "The I Love You" Dog if she were the nominee, as well.

In fact, if Mishka "The I Love You" Dog came down with rabies and bit me on my weenie, I would still vote for Mishka "The I Love You" Dog if she were the nominee.

0 must go.

But let's see if we can keep Romney from being the nominee.

[knarf]

What the hell is Tea Party Nation?

[factoryrat]

I guess if it comes to obama vs. romney, you don’t really have much of a choice. If you vote for romney, all you will get is obama’s alter ego. Two sides to the same coin they are. If you’re really unlucky, obama gets re-elected, and makes romney his VP, or vise-versa.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Most people would vote for Mr. Bean if confronted with the choice between him and Obama. LOL!!!

[knarf]

" ... Tea Party Nation, one of the largest national organizations for the grassroots conservative movement .. "

Oh yeah ... NOW I remember, a vote was taken and tin cans passed around amidst the drums drumming and speakers bloviating and "the tea party" hired a spokesfirm to handle it's PR.

I don't really need the /s, DO I ?

[Designer]

Sounds as if whoever is behind this poll is a Romney shill.

This principled and informed conservative will never vote for Romney, nor any other RINO.

The better to live with my own conscience.
