Tea party dilemma: What to do about Mitt Romney



The anybody-but-Mitt Romney faction developing within the tea party may pose a problem for the former Massachusetts governor’s presidential ambitions, but some tea party organizers worry it could also backfire against the movement itself.

Romney, the current Republican front runner, is viewed skeptically – at best – by many tea partiers. And disagreement over whether to actively oppose him threatens to undo the uneasy truces forged in the run-up to the 2010 midterms and undermine the fledgling movement’s influence in the GOP.

Just more crap trying to make it seem like the TP is just getting in the way of fixing issues by "not compromising". But Romney has no interest in stopping illegal aliens, securing the border, and all the other crap that goes with it.

Its time the TP tells the GOP to listen up or be ready for a war creating a 3rd party. I think if the TP splits off into a 3rd party AND plays a little of the race game with having someone near the top that is preferably black (its a sad game but in a way gotta play it) it could suck in many Republican voters and some of the business sector along with possibly giving a home to a large number of independents who are leading conservative. The one catch is the TP would need to not sound so bent on religion.
