The Coronation Of Mitt Romney By GOP Elites Is Really A Big F U To The Tea Party

[DemocratSinceBirth]

They are saying your favorite candidates are too declasse for us.

Will they take it or form a third party?

[Cirque du So-What]

1. They should gopher it!

They obviously are being relegated to the back row, so they need to run their own candidates in their own party - the crazier the better!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. Exactly- They Are Being Taken For Granted

They need to get off the Republican plantation. They need to get out their pitchforks!

15. Run, Forrest,.....errr Palin,, run n/t

[TheCowsCameHome]

3. Oh please, make it a third party.

Let them crack the GOP into little opieces.

5. It's hard to tell which is which these days.

fine line.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

6. I don't think they have the balls/ovaries for a third party. So I challenge them to prove me wrong.

7. They Need To Stay On The Cain Train

9. The Tea Party is too stupid to ever figure this out.

The GOP continues to be controlled by the Corpratists and the War Hawks ... the social and fiscal conservatives are just along for the ride.

Periodically, the GOP leaderships throws the crazies some red meat ... abortion bill here, anti-gay bill there ... and then they continue to do what ever they can for the super rich and the MIC.

The Tea Party was, and always will be GOP.

They aren't going anywhere ... Fox news won't cover the Tea Party unless they stay in line, and vote GOP.

You watch, at some point, Sarah Palin will endorse Romney and start campaigning for him. This won't happen until he's assured the nomination, but as soon as that happens, she's going to join Mitt's camp and try to bring the crazies along with her.

10. How Come No Party Was Able To Co-Opt George Wallace?

Well, actually the Pugs co-opted his ideas and gave them a "respectable" veneer.

Maybe Herman Cain is that "man of principle".

I can dream...

[JoePhilly]

12. That was a very different time. The civil rights movement was ...

splitting both the GOP and Democratic Parties in a variety of ways. Many of which track to civil war boundaries.

Wallace did leave the democratic Party, and run as a third party candidate.

As for Cain. There is one trait important that I think many of the GOP Corporatist, the War Hawks, fiscal and social conservatives all share. And it is Manifest Destiny.

THEY see themselves as the most righteous, most christian, most patriotic, most American ... and, they are not only better then everyone else, they are GOD's chosen people.

God DEMANDS that they control the world. The different sub-groups of the GOP overlap.

This is why they can steal elections and lie about it. Such actions are nothing, because god has given them a get out of jail free card.

And ... for those who oppose them ... no suffering is too great.

17. The Republican/Democrat divide was different then.

Before...

Democrats represented 99%ers, racist or not.
Republicans represented 1%ers, racist or not.


Then...

Democrats represented non-racist 99%ers.
Wallace represented racist 99%ers.
Republicans represented 1%ers, racist or not.


Now...

Democrats represent non-racist 1%ers and to a lesser degree non-racist 99%ers.
Republicans represent 1%ers, racist or not.
Nobody represents racist 99%ers.

11. I vote they go the 3rd party route. Of course, I'm sure they'll take my advice.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

13. If the magnates who funded the Tea Party get behind Mitt

most of the sheep will follow. Some of the Tea Partiers were real and individualistic. Most were not in my opinion and only followed the movement because it was popular and anti-Obama.

[Sheepshank]

14. What an absolutely delicious way to feed the TEA group their own butts.....

...while explaining to them they just got kicked to the curb.

Shouldn't more of them hear this type of talk?

[Johnny2X2X]

16. Not sure about 3rd party

I think their hatred of Obama supersedes all other ideals for them. At the same time this could lessen enthusiasm and their effort to suppress liberal voting. Romney is not a moderate, but is closer to the middle than Cain or Perry.

How about a Romney/Newt candidacy? That would be a big F U to the Teaparty for sure. Look for another surprise VP IMO as things will be looking bleak for the Republican nominee come that time and they'll be throwing a Hail Mary with their VP choice.

[Major Hogwash]

18. Hahahaha!!!! So true, so true.

Mitt ran 4 years ago with the same haircut, same speeches, same bullshit, and he's going to be their Number One guy.

:rofl:
