Romney yet to win over Christian Right, Tea Party
2012 Elections Thursday, July 7th, 2011

Tea Party leaders and outspoken Christian conservatives continue to express reservations about GOP presidential frontrunner and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, CNN reports:
In June, FreedomWorks invited 150 Tea Party organizers to a planning session where participants were asked for their candidate of choice in the 2012 field. Only one Tea Party activist at the meeting supported Romney, [FreedomWorks president Matt] Kibbe said.
Tea Party conservatives remain outraged over Romney’s record on health care reform. In recent months, he has defended the plan he signed into law as governor of Massachusetts, in which residents are required to buy health insurance. …
Some evangelical Republicans believe they lost their front-runner when former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee decided against another presidential run.
“No question Mitt Romney benefited from Huckabee not running. That left a huge vacuum,” said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council.
Perkins, who has not endorsed a candidate in the GOP field, noted Romney has some appeal with many social conservatives. But he added there are lingering questions about contradictions in Romney’s record.
From a horse-race perspective, it looks to me like Allah is really right: Romney might actually eventually need former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin or Texas Gov. Rick Perry to enter the race, just to split the Tea Party vote, presently concentrated on Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), who has steadily gained ground against Romney in both Iowa and New Hampshire.

Romney is another RINO dirt bag! I wouldn’t vote for him even if Obama was the other candidate.
The masses need their bread and circuses. Mitt Romney is the early bird so the main attraction is not over done by the time the time comes for the people to actually attempt to choose someone. When that time comes, it will be Rick Perry, the only one out of the group who has been invited and attended the Bilderberg meeting some 4 years ago while he was a sitting governor.
Sarah Palin needs to endorse Ron Paul and fulfill what she started when she endorsed Rand Paul. If she can endorse the son, even though it was to get her strongly inside of the Tea Party movement, she logically should endorse the father of the organization. She is not going to run except to maybe do what this article says and get people to back her up. At the last minute she needs to quit the bid and tell her supporters to back Ron Paul. That is what is going to happen with Mitt Romney and especially Michele Bachmann. She, in particular, is there for that reason. It is her job to hook the people and then to transfer them to a more acceptable presidential candidate, that being Rick Perry.
