We Need Your Feedback: Who is Your VP Pick?
April 11, 2012 at 10:42 am in News by Tea Party Patriots 214 Comments
We need your help! Let us know who you would like to see as the GOP Vice Presidential Nominee. Just fill out the survey form below with the first and last name of the person you would like to see as the GOP VP Nominee.
I believe whoever is nominated for Vice President has to be a conservative or we will lose our country as we know it.
Why are we lining up like lemmings behind Romney and not looking to an alternative candidate..perhaps a libertarian, http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150480575159364&set=a.10150477726509364.318050.165297924363&type=1

The GOP is aging. The democrats have guaranteed that they stay in power with their policies of entitlements & open borders. Many feel that there is no difference between Democrats & Republicans. What makes us different? What do Republicans believe? What makes us different? What is our political history? NBRA.info and why do conservative principles work? What would Reagan say about the past decades since he left office? Are we stronger and more prosperous? Do we have less government or more? Is this the America you grew up in? Which way do we want to go in the future? The left and progressives brought us to the brink of collapse. What’s the solution? Who is the only person who did in real life what the others just blather about doing?
It is time that all the people on the right and left unifies to stop the freight train to disaster we are presently on. Whatever your political stripe or personal beliefs, we all agree that the Founders gave us a great gift with the unique republic they gave us. However, like Ben Franklin said, it’s up to us if we can keep it. Reagan spoke about communism and the rise of the violent left while he was in Hollywood. They threatened to disfigure his face and black listed people. (See my Facebook wall) The Left is dangerous because they are aligned with Communists and Marxists. These regimes have killed millions world-wide. They do not respect individualism, property rights, traditional values, fiscal responsibility, small government, personal responsibility, manners, decency, faith, American culture, patriotism or that we used to be –one nation under God. America was the beacon of hope and opportunity at one time. Our country has been transformed in the last 60 years. Obama promised hope and change and gave us hype and chains. http://www.usdebtclock.org/ How can republicans restore America when the democrats have stolen our legacy and distorted who we are? (Emancipation of blacks & Civil Rights passage by us NBRA.info—They helped to cause the Civil War by insisting on secession and slavery)
Our country is diverse and hence the saying “out of many, one”. We are no longer a united country. Class, race, ideology, religion and other divisive issues have been used by the Left to divide us. What is tearing it apart is the gross misconduct by the incompetent and unvetted President that takes his marching orders from declared Communists and Marxists coupled with a terrible Recession. Visit TheObamaFile.com and click on personal and then associates. This site is in the US Library of Congress. The Left’s “Bible” is “Rules for Radicals”. They need to have us fighting and splintering in order to finish the take over and destruction of our country. There is only one way to beat them at their game. Know what it is. The Communist Goals from the US Senate hearing in 1963 are to destroy America and freedom. This has been their agenda for decades. They used unions, EPA, over regulation, infiltration of our churches by non-Christians priests, propaganda and rewritten history to slowly step by step take over. Visit my Facebook page to see the game plan that is almost completed.
They want us to shut up and get out of their way so they can turn America into a third world nation with them at the top and us at the bottom. A nation of serfs. People like Capitalist/Investor Trump, Governor Christie, Conservative Pundit Ann Coulter, Congressman Ryan and Colonel/Congressman Allen West scare them because they are fighting fire with fire. They have taken off the gloves and tell it like it is. The left excuses the worst behavior from their side and yet destroys anybody on the right that gets in their way. They forgive bomb throwers like Van Jones (a declared Marxist and former Obama Czar until Beck outed him) and crude language by others, yet get upset over the slightest blunt remark by our side. Enough. It’s time we tell the truth. It’s time we restore our country and once and for all expunge the dangerous Leftist agenda from our schools and country. It’s time we give tribute and honor to our military and the fantastic work they do to protect and defend not only our freedoms here; but also abroad. It’s time to remind people that our freedom comes from our military’s ability to defend it NOT from the lame stream media or even our elected representatives.
Reagan Reagan Reagan when will the worship end? Reagan is part of the problem. Why is Obama so popular? Is it because of his policies or is it because he understands that people are tired of the religious right of telling everyone what they can and can’t do. I am a fiscal conservative who isn’t concerned if you’re gay or straight, if you do or don’t use contraception, if you go to this church or that one, and on and on I could go. What I am concerned about is that we borrow more than we produce, we no longer manufacture anything in this country, we allow corporations to send jobs out of the country to boost the company’s bottom line while we have people on welfare who want to work, but can’t find a decent job that pays a decent wage to feed the family. So the conservatives complain that these people get Earned Income Tax Credits when they don’t pay taxes. I guess you’d feel better if they just starved. After all that would be one less moocher wouldn’t it? We need to find solutions that are equitable so that those who want to work can. And for those unfortunate who are unable, a sustainable living where they do something to help support the economy rather than drain from it. Lets find workable solutions in a spirit of love and compassion (fruits of the spirit) rather than from a spirit of anger and hatred.
@ gayunclesam: Do you really think you’re fooling anyone by claiming to be a “fiscal conservative” within this diatribe of vulgar, intolerant rubbish you’ve written here? I could attempt to explain to you why ‘Ronaldus Magnus’ is held in such high regard by those of us on the “right”, be we overtly “religious” or otherwise. But such an explanation would be lost on you; that’s because you’re a fraud, another Alinsky agitator/infiltrator, and a pathetic little malcontent. However, you are also a most convenient foil; that exposes the arrogance the ignorance the intolerance and bigotry, of all you ‘sturmabteilung’ of the Fascist-Left.
Sir:
I, too, could care less whether you’re gay or not. I, too, am a fiscal conservative. I don’t think we should be spending money that we don’t have. Most of the problem is caused by the bleeding hearts who have demolished the family unit by encouraging parents to not marry by handing out funds as if there is no tomorrow. Parents should get married THEN have their children and WORK to support them. That is why we must be more than a fiscal conservative. Re-establish the familty unit and other things follow. It has been proven that children with married parents are more stable emotionally, do better in school, as well as socially and are fewer incarcerated than their peers who live in a single parent home, especially one that subsists on welfare.
I personally have a similar ideology as you. Fiscally conservative, and socially liberal. This election, however, I am not voting by my social agenda, but my fiscal one. We are flat out broke. Actually we are worse than broke…16 Trillion reasons to vote out the POTUS. Lets get back to a position where compassion really makes a difference, and is not reduced to a comfortable ‘slogan’ that makes us sleep better at night. That position is fiscal stability in my opinion, and we have 2 VIABLE choices this year. A choice to elect a spendthrift that would be unfettered to public opinion in his second (and hopefully final) term, or a choice for something else. I’ll take Romney.
Dude, or Dudet, dont know dont care, but in response to your comment, please review the complete history of Reagan. I would ask you to look at the national deficit, a minus, as viewed alone, but also look at the GDP in parellel. I will be happy to help any one who can not work or contribute. But, look at people like Steven Hawkings,,,, the modern liberal mindset would have thrown him into a “program” and missed one of the most prolific scientific minds of our age. So who decides who needs help ?
Also, please research the demographics of who ends in poverty and who rises above ? I think you will find that children of a family with a mother and father, not divorced, fair much better than children from alternative arangements. Children from single parents have a huge disadvantage compared to children from conventional families. How long do you think I should pay for social experimentation into “correcting” such disparities ? The huge taxes i pay could have alternativly allowed me to start up a buisiness I have dreamed about for years that would creat jobs. Instead, the money is used to experiment with social engineering and failed policies.
Newt Gingrich! He kept his “Contract with America” and won for us all!!
Not enough people think like you do. The majority will always vote Republican or Democrat. Because of that, voting for anyone other then the Republican candidate will divide the vote and nobama will get back in for sure.
Well it seems a lot of conservatives are falling for the establishment candidate again. Isn’t it funny how people in masses can be guided to wherever the one with the most money takes them? It is a phenomena that hsppens every election, and none of us seem to see it until it is too late (hindsight is better than foresight). Who backed Obama in ’08? Who is backing Romney in ’12? All the elite corrupt corporations that were part of the bailout and some are based in Europe! But, people are easily swayed by the good looking, smoother talking candidate that promises jobs (which the government does not create) and better times for the masses. Campaign promises that will inevitably be broken. If a candidate moves to the left, the right or center in order to get your vote, they are lying to you, period. I have listened to people over the decades say, “why can’t we get an honest politician?” The reason we do not get honest politicians, is because when one comes along, we listen to the elite and call him crazy. The elite do believe the honest candidate is crazy as the honest candidate will end their status quo, and they do not want that. Go ahead and put Romney as the nominee, he will give Obama a second term and our country, as we know it, will be dead.
A third party is the same as a vote for Obama. DON’T DO IT!! (Remember Ross Perot??) Santorum was the best bet for a Conservative President but we now must all unite behind Romney if we want any chance at taking our country back! Hopefully Romney will choose a super conservative VP (Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan, Alan West, Joe Arpaio, Bobbie Jindal).
I believe the answer to your question is a rather simple one. There is no way possible to have another candidate come in and win the Republican nomination at this point, and no third party candidate will ever have a shot at winning the presidency. To even run a third party candidate would divide the conservative vote and guarantee an Obama victory. Believe me; Romney was far from being my first choice as President, but when it comes down to Obama or Romney; and realistically that is the choice we have, Romney gets my vote. It is time that we stop dreaming of the perfect conservative candidate because it is just not going to happen this year. We all need to rally around the best shot we have to stop the assured destruction of this country that four more years of Obama would produce. Real conservatives like Rubio or Rand Paul would be great VP choices.
I am a Republican who registered as a Republican in Florida in 1958 when the Registrars were saying there were no primaries and I was wasting my voting privilege. I was the FIRST candidate in the state of Florida of either party to take the Candidates’ Oath in March 1966.
I view with serious alarm the rise of Romney, the RINO, when his history is not Conservative and he flip-flops on virtually every issue. I am disillusioned with John Boehner who had the opportunity to do what I remember Newt Gingrich doing as Speaker, briefly let the government shut down but emerge with a balanced budget and a rapidly rising economy.
As a result, I see ONLY TWO MEN who have the history and the guts to do what is necessary to save America. Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain. I have officially withdrawn from the RNC over Romney and now encourage the TEA PARTY, which I have joined, to register as a political party immediately in all 50 states and field oour own candidates.
Over 62 percent of total voters indicate conservative leanings. The Democrats are radical socialist and the Republican Party has chosen to take a “moderate” compromise with the liberal position. We MUST fight for the America we love. Four of my ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War to give us the United States. I do not want to see us become a Soviet Union of America.
Finally, George Soros, arch enemy of Conservatives and major push behind Obama has stated that Obama and Romney are alike to him and he doesn’t care who wins this November. That was on a liberal interview show and I saw and heard Soros so state himself to a liberal host.
God Bless, I agree with you completely. I will vote for the most conservative candidate I see in every election in which i can vote. I will not be silenced any more or stay at home due to complete disgust with the choices. Obama vs McCain did not leave much choice for me, but McCain was more conservative. (????a funny BS choice) I hear you and I think others do as well.
Ron Paul is a conservative, Eisenhower was a conservative, Robert Taft was a conservative. Most of you wouldn’t know freedom if it bit you on the asses. Oh yea and good luck beating Obama with that socialist **** Romney. If Ron Paul is so crazy, why does he have over a million followers and counting? Why is the baby boomer generation so lost when it comes to freedom?
Ron Paul is a FISCAL conservative ONLY. Other than that, he is a vote for Obama. JUST SAY NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Perhaps President Romney will hire Ron Paul as the head of the Dept of US Treasury or for a Supreme Court Justice but he (RP) is in no way qualified to lead this country!
To get behind Mitt Romney is to hand it over to Obama. Romney is McCain part two. I will vote for Ron Paul. Turn off your TV people. Turn off mainstream talk radio and learn to think.
Allen West or Paul Ryan would be very good VP candidates. They are solid conservatives. For all you libertarians out there, before you condemn conservatism learn it first. Once you do, you’ll see that reasonable libertarians and conservatives have common ground to economic policies and our U.S constitution. Conservatives never created, helped or endorse modern liberal policies since Woodrow Wilson. It was always liberal Democrats and liberal Republicans(Establishment) who marched along with liberal policies. Ronald Reagan who was our only real conservative president in modern times would have done more on what he preached if he had a conservative, even some libertarian ,Congress. That wasn’t the case back then. Mitt Romney is no Ronald Reagan, but he is a whole lot better than the current president who touts communist/ socialist rhetoric. Give me an example when Mitt Romney ever touted communist/ socialist rhetoric? If we get a conservative/ libertarian Congress Romney will govern that way. OBAMA ABSOLUTELY NO WAY!
todd palin
What would really be great is a conservative with Military background and some experience in foreign affairs…Don’t know who that could be. Where Governor Romney has the Business and Governing of a state, someone with the knowledge that I have mentioned would make a heck of a pair…..
Allen West, that’s who.
My thinking exactly. Romney has the expertise (and confidence of American Business) to turn around the economy if it can be turned around at all, but he has no experience in foreign policy. Allen West would balance that perfectly, and Romney also understands the necessity of building a strong management team rather than relying on cronyism and egos. Romney / West would put America back on its feet so we could tackle the remaining problems facing our nation.
Mandy …. Allen West would be the BEST VP this country has ever seen. Go listen to him in some of his speeches or just being questioned by people. You can watch him on youtube. He knows more stuff than the person who is in the white house now will EVER know. Very Smart! Not afraid of anyone! LOVE HIM!!
Well said Karen, he is the best this country has and really needs…!
Good for you.
Alan West would be a GREAT choice for VP!
I, too, love Allen West, and I believe that he is the real deal but there is a factor which may make him unelectable. You have to realize that the only real obstacle to saving our Freedom is the ignorance and apathy of the American people. Let’s face it, almost a majority of Americans have no idea of the onslaught on our liberty that waits in the wings to make an appearance in the second term. All they know is that Nobama hasn’t done a good job for them personally and that he is black. A small percentage, enough to decide a close race, will never vote for a ticket containing a black man. It’s sad but true that Nobama has set back the cause of the black race for decades.
Alamotwo
I believe the majority of Americans do not care about the color skin. It’s the liberal media who portray white Americans are raceist bigots. Allen West would be great for the country.
You are so right about ignorance of a majority of voters. Allen West does have a lot of my admiration and I think he is doing a great job as a representative. He also has a great deal of international experience which is very needful. But the biggest problem in this country right now is the run-away spending of the Federal and state governments and I see Newt gingrich as the only man who has proven his ability and the guts to follow through to lead the country out of the fiscal mess and restore faith in business and employment. Next to him is the previously non-politician but very successful businessman, Herman Cain. The two of them would turn our nation around.
As to your comments about four more years under Obama, I don’t think he will wait for the November elections to find sufficient excuse to declare a National Emergency, followed by Martial Law (Notice how he is weeding out opposition in the military so only those who will obey him blindly are in power? Notice how he is bringing troops home to be available to enforce Martial Law?). Thereafter, every conservative voice (like mine and yours and even Supreme Court justices and members of congress) will be silenced and Josef Jugashvili Obama will emerge. (Josef Jugashvili, native of Gori, and grew up in T’bilisi of Georgia was the notorious Josef Stalin, in case any didn’t know!)
My pick as well. Maybe that would put him in place for 2016 or ’20 POTUS run.
I agree, Allen West! I was going to say Rick Santorum, but then I realized that I do not really believe that Romney can beat Obama and I hope that Santorum will run, in 2016, so I wouldn’t want him to go for VP, now. Allen West would also be my pick, for VP, for a Santorum presidency, in 2016.
We Need To Beat Hussein-Obama This Time Or We Will NOT Have Any More Elections.Forget About 2016, We’ll Have Dictator-in-Chief Barack-Hussein(HugoChavez)Osama oops Obama If We Don’t Win This Time!! We Have To Speak Up And Get EVERYONE To Vote For The Republican Nominee This Time!!We All Believe Romney Is Not The Best Choice! He Better Apologize For Romney-Care And Pick Allen West As VP To Prove Romney Is A Conservative!West Is A Veteran And Obama Can’t Play the Racecard As He Always Does! Unless By Any Stretch, Republican’s Get A Spine And Nominate Allen West at the Convention Because We Know West Can And Would Like to Debate Obama!!Romney Should Do What Is Best For The Nation And Put
His Money Behind Support For Rick Santorum West VP!!
I know I’m wasting my breath but RESPECT ?
Tri-cia is correct!
The Progressives have waited for this election since Woodrow Wilson. They have been nibbling away at the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, the Supreme Court, the Two-Party system etc for decades. Nobama’s second term would be the final end to the Freedom of Speech, the Right to Assemble, the Right to bear arms and all of the other Bills of Rights.
The Supreme Court by one means or another would gain another progressive Judge making the Court irrelevant. The Congress would be circumvented by the Executive branch Czars, making the Congress irrelevant.
In his second term the National Labor Relations Board would be given the power to force unionization across all industries. All Right to Work legislation would be repealed. Is it not obvious what we see in store in Nobama’s second term when you see what the NLRB tried to do to Boeing when they planned a new plant in SC, a Right to Work State. Wait until his second term when there are no constraints.
Nobama’s energy secretary uttered a second-term statement a while back and revealed Nobama’s plans for energy in his second term. Gas prices in Europe approach $10 per gal in some countries. He said “We have to find some way to make gas prices in the US the same as in Europe”. That’s an exact quote.
Everything I have outlined above has been in action during his first term. He has had to be cautious and not nibble too much as even the ignorant American citizenry will realize what he meant by “fundamentally changing America” if it becomes too obvious. But with a second term there is no reason to be cautious and we’ll see blatant destruction of the freedoms that we are accustomed to.
Make no mistake, the Progressives intend nothing less than a one-party system as in Russia. Alexandr Putin has shown the Progressives the way and that’s the path they will follow. Putin will be President for Life, expect Obama to be the same.
This election is not about Republicans vs Democrats, folks, the Democrat Party exists in name only, Progressives have hi-jacked the Democrat Party and I’m sure JFK and Truman are spinning like a whirlwind in their graves.
I am truly distressed at the so-called Conservatives, Tea-Party Patriots all who state that they cannot support or fund Romney as he isn’t conservative enough. How can you be so ignorant of the real dangers? Our basic liberties of speech and assembly, all of the Rights we are accustomed to stand on the brink of elimination. The basic Right of a free election is in danger!
I personally believe that Romney understands the brink we rest on as well as I do. I believe that he is a good man, a loyal American and will not want his five sons and his grandchildren to grow up in the kind of America Obama is hell-bent on forcing upon us. I believe that in order to be elected Governor of the most liberal state in the union that he had to move to the left. Once in office he vetoed hundreds of bills submitted by the liberal Congress, balanced the budget and endeared himself to the people of Massachusets, overwhelmingly social liberals. They learned to appreciate fiscal conservativism when they saw that it worked.
I don’t believe we have any choice but to get behind this very good man who has proven himself in our free market Capitalist system and who has gained the experience necessary to manage our government using proven conservative principles.
I say pair him up with Marco Rubio or Chris Christi and get behind them like the wolf is at the door, spend your time and your treasure to defend American like their is no tomorrow, for I can tell you, folks without any doubt, if nobama gets a second term there is a pack of bloodthirsty Progressives at the door, the have their eye on the prize and for those of us who love America, the Land of the Free, there is no tomorrow, just today and less than seven months remain to save Freedom for our children and Grandchildren.
I’m a Texan, we are a majority of loyal Americans and Conservatives. We are aware of the onslaught on our liberty that faces us. A majority of us will support in national elections whomever can save us from Progressive Socialism/Marxism.
As I don’t have to spend my limited funds in Texas I contribute to Governor Scott Walker, to State Congressional races where I can make a difference and I will support Mitt Romney as best I am able.
At this point I can’t see the difference in Romney, Santorum, Paul, Gingrich or any of the other candidates who dropped out. They, to a man or woman, would have given us at least a chance of saving our way of life.
To quote the greatest American since Lincoln;
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” Ronald Reagan
Wake up and unite all of you loyal Americans. this election is the most important event in the last 100 years.
Alamotwo
have? excuse me, he is a dictator already.
What, is this where do your girls have one big coffee klatch where you exchange recipes, gossip and, oh by the way, talk about who you might vote for?
Do you have any sort of grasp of reality?…You do know that Allen West made the statement last week that there are 80 Communists in the House? And you do know that when asked what his documentation for such an accusation he said, ‘I heard it”…
Do you honestly think Mitt Romney would want such a raving lunatic to be anywhere near him?…Jeez, ladies, try using your brain once and a while…
Why are we lining up like lemmings behind Mitt Romney? He will lose and in four years the Republican establishment will just buy the nomination for another liberal/moderate candidate. We must make it clear that an unacceptable candidate will not have our support. We will not be ignored. It is time for an alternative…http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150480575159364&set=a.10150477726509364.318050.165297924363&type=1
We Have To Stand By The Republican Nominee To Defeat Hussein-Obama If We Don’t He The Evilone Will Be re-elected And We Will Not Have A Country Or Any More Elections!!
We Have To Pray and Get All Back To God To Save Our Country God Given Rights and Freedoms! Stand By Republican Nominee and WeWill Work On Repubes Later! If Hussein-Obama Gets in again by our lack of votes we wil not have any more elections we will have the Dictator-In-Chief,mao chavez hitler stalin osama-obama!!
Are you for real? Did you just get off the flying saucer? You need to spend a little less time listening to A.M. talk radio try reading for yourself. You stated:
We Have To Stand By The Republican Nominee To Defeat Hussein-Obama If We Don’t The Evilone Will Be re-elected And We Will Not Have A Country Or Any More Elections!!
Ok, what fear monger told you this? Any idea what it would take to dissolve elections in America? Remember that document that everyone’s been talking about lately called THE CONSTITUTION? check out what has to happen to end elections.
We Have To Pray and Get All Back To God To Save Our Country God Given Rights and Freedoms! Stand By Republican Nominee and WeWill Work On Repubes Later! If Hussein-Obama Gets in again by our lack of votes we wil not have any more elections we will have the Dictator-In-Chief,mao chavez hitler stalin osama-obama!!
And you wonder why the liberal left doesn’t want to talk it’s exactly this kind of rhetoric that makes conservatives look pretty silly.
@ gayunclesam: You know they do have ‘elections’ in various thug-ocracies around this world. The outcomes always rigged, as that’s how power-hungry tyrants and their sycophant hangers-on roll. In case you have not noticed (and you have because you’re an Obama sycophant) “Dear Leader” and his Demo-commie Party have already, all but literally, shredded the Constitution. The reason “why the liberal” (a.k.a. fascist) “left doesn’t want to talk” is because they (and you) are thoroughly intolerant bigots, hell-bent on imposing your utopian (national socialist) fantasies on a still somewhat-free people. Tri-cia’s comment may seem, to some, a bit far-fetched. But anyone who does not think that (your) hate-filled, narcissistic sociopath, Maoist dictator-in-chief wouldn’t love his ‘second term’ to be for life has their head in the sand. We sane Americans also know that “useful idiot” drones (like you) would still enthusiastically support him; after all, that’s how the sycophants of would-be tyrants roll!
@Daniel: well written,but I am sure that went over gayunclesam’s head.
Tri-cia is right. As a lifelong-almost 75-year-old who saw that the Democratic Party I grew up in was no more Democratic and in 1958, when I couldn’t vote for local candidates for doing so, I registered Republican. I receive regular opinion surveys from RNC and various other Republican committees and have served in numerous local party posts.
But I have served notice that I will NOT stand by and watch the architect of Romneycare, renamed nationwide as Obamacare, a man who panders to powerful unions in one community, claims strong conservatism in the next, etc., etc. ad inifinitum to destroy the credibility of the Republican Party and the conservative movement while I am a member.
I cannot go as far as to be a libertarian nor an isolationist as Ron Paul advocates so passionately, but let common sense prevail. Those who say Romney is better than Obama remind me of the “…better Red than dead…” philosophy of the 1950′s and 60′s.
If you know who, more than others, pushed Obama to the White House, it was MOVE-On’s George Soros. Certain people hereabouts watch MSNBC and their radical socialist positions and I SAW and HEARD an interviewer interview Soros. Soros stated plainly to the moderator that he really does not care which one wins so long as it is either Romney or Obama.
No thanks. Maybe Romney wouldn’t imprison John Boehner, Newt Gingrich, Sam Alito, Clarence Thomas or me for opposing his policies, or have secret police come knock on our doors to execute us as enemies of the state, but bankrupting the country and forcing big government on everyone, he is the same. Again, No Thanks.
The time has come. I do not have exact figures, but based on the backing I have seen for Tea Party events, I believe Tea Party is in position to challenge BOTH the Democrats AND the now liberal-compromising Republilcan Party and put OUR Tea Party President in the White House! We can still get on the ballot as a major political party in every state and with the backing we have, we CAN do the impossible and WIN! (If the “Green” Party and the Libertarian Party and even the Socialist and Communist parties can get on the ballot, we are much stronger than any of them!
yes, google Allen West.
McDonald of Virginia for VP.
Lovely thoughts:
Santorum as PA Senator
Toomy as Senate majority leader
Gingrich as Speaker
Michelle Bachman as Chief of Staff
I definitely want Romney as our next president but to be honest I haven’t given the vice president a thought, maybe Santouram, Bachman. I would have to trust the party to come up with who they think would be best.
Unfortunately, Santouram and Bachman have already been turned into the equivalent of court jesters by the left. And although I believe he is the strongest of all the nominees Newt is just so darn unlikable. I think is going to have to be Ryan or Rubio.
By the left??? Are you outta your mind, they did it all by themselves.
Until Rubio’s status as a “natural born citizen” is clearly established, we should run away from naming him. We don’t want to get into a hypocritical situation in which we do the same thing to America that the left did to us through Obama.
More appropriately Bachman and more so, Santorum have been vilified by the Right, by Romney himself.
They are not a joke John S. The joke is the fact that the likely Presidential nominee burned every conservative bridge from MA. to kingdom come. Now he wants our support.
I don’t care who the VP is, lets just vote already and get it over with…
Rubio is not a “natrual born citizen.”
Why are we lining up like lemmings behind Mitt Romney? He will lose and in four years the Republican establishment will just buy the nomination for another liberal/moderate candidate. We must make it clear that an unacceptable candidate will not have our support. We will not be ignored. It is time for an alternative…http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150480575159364&set=a.10150477726509364.318050.165297924363&type=1
Hey, could you PLEASE stop spamming this site with your Ron Paul BS… first of all, we get it – you support kooky uncle Ron… great. Good for you. The rest of us are faced with the reality of the choice of Romny or Gingrich. Both of which I think are not great candidates but is probably all we’re gonna get to choose from. Sooooo it is either Obummer which is not an option or the RNC’s pick which will most likely be Romney. I know he won’t pick Allen West because he is the consumate politician and will go with a yes man. I am disgusted with the Republican party at this moment… but what is our REAL choice ? and don’t tell me Ron Paul because with his ideas – Iran will make sure they send us into the stone age with their nukes and EMPs… after they destroy Israel. RP’s foreign policy is SUICIDE… so nice try… your opinion is duly noted. Now stop spamming.
I keep seeing Ima Right’s comments and her link to the former one-term New Mexico governor, Gary Johnson. He sounds like someday he could become a viable candidate,but for now, we need a man with a proven track record of both accomplishment and the guts -the intestinal fortitude, if you prefer – to follow through and get the job done. Newt Gingrich faced much criticism and opposition, even within the party and indeed eventually resigned or was dislodged from the Speakership, but he got the job done and America was a better country for it for a number of years afterward. That is established history for any who don’t remember.
I TOTALLY agree with Ima that we MUST NOT give in to a RINO, and let him be shoved down our throats. That is what Obama did to get his Obamacare. We must stand for a true conservative.
Never in recent history has so large a group of people identified with a political party philosophy that had not yet formally become a recognized official major party, but today, if I read statistics correctly, more people of both Democratic and Republican parties are identifying themselves as “Tea Party” and the last figure I saw was 62 percent of voters are saying they want a repeal of Obamacare and are aligning with basic Tea Party philosophy. This is why I am BEGGING ALL OF US to PLEASE unite to back a genuine Conservative who stands for smaller government, tax code revision, balanced budget, tort reform to eliminate unreasonable lawsuits and common sense in all other areas. A return to our founding fathers’ philosophy that made this country the country people around the world want to migrate to because of the opportunity our government has provided through over 200 years, but now is fast eroding. I could back Newt, Herman Cain, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum (despite his somewhat pork-barrel history), Michelle Bachmann, Sarah Palin, Paul Ryan or even Ima’s friend, former one-term New Mexico governor Gary Johnson. But NOT Mitt Romney, the filp-flopper RINO.
It doesn’t matter – I won’t vote for Romney, so the VP choice makes no difference to me. Looks like I will be writing in or abstaining entirely from the presidential election this year :/
Then you are effectively voting for Obama? Is that what you want?
There should be a third choice. Like a no vote. Instead of voting for the lesser of two evils, like we always seem to have to do, we should be given the option to vote no on the candidate we know we don’t want. Now that I write this it seems kinda dumb. That would still be voting for the other person. Sounded good in thought though.
There is no third-party choice who can pull out a win, only those who drain off votes from the two nominated candidates who can attain the office of the presidency. So not supporting the Republican nominee is exactly an effective vote for Obama. I have all along been of the mindset that ANY Republican candidate is better than Obama. I’d vote for Mickey Mouse before I’d vote for Obama with his lack of effective leadership skills and economic knowledge, not to mention his incessant class warfare, hypocrisy and blatant crony capitalism.
Holly, there IS Third Party that CAN WIN. Looks like you are already part of it. The TEA Party CAN still register in all 50 states. The party is still very loosely organized, but I believe enough of us are sincere, Common Sense Conservatives who believe in smaller government, traditional marriage, preservation of human life at all stages, Not trying to be isolationist as we live in an international world and business community.
There are two candidates who are too much like us for the Republican Party, one of whom is still trying to remain in the Republican race in the hope that Common Sense Conservatives at the convention will rebuff and refuse a Romney nomination as political suicide. The other allowed a predictable distraction to cause him to drop out of the Republican race. Since then, despite activism on his and supporters’ part, his Cain’s Revolution on the Hill was disappointing. But it must be admitted that despite a somewhat lackluster demeanor Newt Gingrich did, in fact, work somewhat of a miracle with his “Contract With America” as Speaker of the House and the country went through an era of unprecedented prosperity. Herman Cain’s business and early political success predictably brought “black man seduces white woman” allegations and as anyone who has had business success knows, anyone you have to lay off or fire because of non-productive work will surely accuse you of some wrongdoing because they were laid off or fired. Sexual harassment is a favorite accusation. (I know that apparently there was a black woman a news media contacted from Cain’s phone, but what abut Bill Clinton?)
Would we rather have four more years under Obama or four under Romney? If it comes down to the lesser of two evils, then we must choose that candidate. In this case, it is Romney. We cannot let Obama get re-elected. Imagine what he will do to our country knowing he cannot face re-election.
That is why term limits are useless. It gives a president 4 years of free rein knowing he’s not gonna be accountable.
And that is why we have Impeachment for Presidents that commit crimes in office, even down to misdemeanors. By the Constitution, they should be discharged.
The problem with Impeachment is the Congress.
The problem with the Congress is the People.
It all comes back to us.
Also, please keep in mind that the Senate race is far more important than the Presidential race. Left-leaning policies Romney tries to institute, if any, would be neutralized by a conservative Congress. I’m still surprised at how many people have yet to realize this. We need to take back the Senate and keep the House far more than we need to argue about who is the Republican nominee for President.
Good William!! Don’t complain about gas prices or the next Supreme Court Justices. I think Romney will lean to the right. I’m willing to take that chance.
William, You will be voting for Obama if you don’t vote for the nominee of the republican party.
I am so close to being with you William. When I see how these people, supposedly our conservative brothers and sisters, turn and eat their own, it make me sick.
Nonetheless, I will vote for Romney even though I do not like him or his filthy brand of politics. Maybe we need a gutter ball like him to take out the one we already have in the White House.
William, you seem to have missed the whole point. The MOST important thing we can do for this country in this upcoming election is vote Obama out of office! That means we vote for the person or team that gets that done. Not voting, or voting third party, or writing-in a vote may be options for you, but they’re not options for our country this time. Please, get on board with the absolute necessity of ridding this nation of the Obama regime, or you may never again even have the opportunity to vote. This is no game we’re playing here. We must vote Obama out to preserve the sacrifices of countless of our ancestors and founders who fought to liberate this country from tyranny. Else, they died in vain.
Why are we lining up like lemmings behind Mitt Romney? He will lose and in four years the Republican establishment will just buy the nomination for another liberal/moderate candidate. We must make it clear that an unacceptable candidate will not have our support. We will not be ignored. It is time for an alternative.…http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150480575159364&set=a.10150477726509364.318050.165297924363&type=1
William please understand that the majority of us would rather not vote for Romney,but if he is the nominee well all just hold our nose and vote for him,you gotta admit it just about anyone is better than Obama.comeon man we need every vote.
So, you prefer another 4 years of Obama ?
What a sick attitude especiaslly when you know any anal sphincter would be a thousand times better than the “closet’ Muslim that hates the USA.
Romney would not be my first choice either; but, if we want to get rid of America’s Numberr One Enemy we need to unite behind whoever runs.
When the guys wouldn’t let you pitch did you take your ball and run home to mommy ?
SADLY, I FEAR WILLIAM IS RIGHT. The TEA PARTY must unite. We must file national political Party recognition papers. Although we are not yet recognized as an official political party, according to many polls, we have the majority of voters in agreement with us – actually better than Republican OR Democratic.
Then we must apply enough pressure that John Boehner introduces IMPEACHMENT against OBAMA BEFORE Obama declares a National Emergency, Martial Law and becomes de facto Dictator Obama. I still think he plans to do it BEFORE November.
There are PLENTY of counts of Constitutional Violations — at least nine (9) I can think of any one of which is valid for impeachment. I have already faxed Boehner about his complicity in the creation of the fraudulent Hawaii Birth Certificate, which his own attorney admitted to in Court in New Jersey just this past week. That is A JAILABLE CRIME!
Need a strong conservative female (not radical like Palin or Bachman) to counter-balance the image the democrats are sending about the GOP as a bunch of women-haters.
I think you are correct Denise. The person I would love to see is Condi Rice. A strong Conservative female. If she can handle the ego of Colin Powel; she can handle the ego of the Dems in Congress. May God continue to bless our liberities
It doesn’t matter who the woman is. If she is strong, the left will simply dismantle her image by telling jokes. Interesting strategy they have. No facts, just chest thumping and and mockery to discredit candidates.
I don’t think it matters, male or female. All I know is we need someone who wouldn’t put up with anyones crap, foriegn or domestic…….and the only one I know is Allen West!
Judge Andrew Napolitano. And RP for pres!
Great answer Dustin! I’m currently a registered Liberterian so can’t vote in the upcoming NY Primary. Wouldn’t mind seeing a Ron Paul/Gary Johnson ticket but he’s running as the Liberterian candidate, so who knows. Judge Napolitano is a great call!
Can you imagine Judge Napolitano on the
Supreme Court? WOW!!
Sure would beat the idiot Sotomayor or
the little feminist commies: Ginsburg &
Kagan. God, what a bunch of embarrassing
marxist women they are.
Who I would pick for the VP does not matter if Ron Paul does not get the nomination. If Romney wins it will not matter, it will simply be another Obamination either way. I do not know who the Tea Party is rooting for but i sure hope it is for Ron Paul, the only candidate that cares about our personal freedoms. I would hope the Tea Party is a driving force behind securing delegates for Ron Paul.
http://libertyvlogger.com/ron-paul/ron-paul-election-fraud-confirmed-in-north-dakota/
May our Country be free from the Looming Tyranny.
Again, please keep in mind that the Senate race is far more important than the Presidential race. Left-leaning policies potential president-elect Romney tried to institute, if any, would be neutralized by a conservative Congress. More people need to understand this. We need to take back the Senate and keep the House far more than we need to argue about who is the Republican nominee for President. Ron Paul could have a lot more say in his post on the financial committee.
Mandy, you have made the most correct comment here ! thanks
How about Rand Paul for VP? I think that would be a great compromise.
Why are we lining up like lemmings behind Mitt Romney? He will lose and in four years the Republican establishment will just buy the nomination for another liberal/moderate candidate. We must make it clear that an unacceptable candidate will not have our support. We will not be ignored. It is time for an alternative…http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150480575159364&set=a.10150477726509364.318050.165297924363&type=1
Ima Right, enough already you idiot!! You don’t have to keep re-posting your stupid “Why are we lining up like lemmings behind Mitt Romney?” The real questions is: Why do you keep re-posting the same freakin’ thing over and over again? Is that all you know how to post? Johnson is a great guy, but he is a non-factor! If you want to gain some credibility, and not alienate everyone from your beloved Mr. Johnson, then you had better shape up! You are making your candidate look bad!
I think Mike Huckabee would be a fantastic selection, he would balance out the ticket and provide something to fire up social conservatives about the ticket.
Get over Huckabee – he’s a big government guy, proven by his voting record.
I think we may be able to do some serious damage to the progressive movement in this election. If we can point who the president really is, as a person, it will turn off most voters in this country.People are starting to wake up to the blind stranglehold the progressive movement has on the main stream media, hollywood, and education, and if the gop can put the bare facts on the table this election without the progressives convincing people they are racists or sexists obama has no chance.
Herman Cain
Herman Cain would be a good choice, but we need someone who will remind the media that they are supposed to report on the news, not influence the news. Someone like Newt. He is not very well liked because the media pundits push him with their “gotcha” questions.
Herman Cain? When he would not sign a pledge to an any size, any ingredient pizza all for only $10, I lost a lot of respect for the man.
Romney needs the enthusiasm that Ron Paul’s people bring. His record will draw support from the military as well as those opposed to the wars. He also draws heavily from the independents needed which are needed to win in November.
This is a great point. I hadn’t thought about those parts when I voted for Marco Rubio, but I believe Ron Paul might be a better choice in picking up more independent and constitutional voters (IE tea partiers like me!). He might be able to mentor Romney with some common sense constitutionalism along the way. Wish I could vote again for VP in the poll, I would pick Ron Paul
I would still rather see Herman Cain as the leader of the opposition to Obama and his band of progressive socialists. However as Vice President he will still be able to stand up and speak out for conservative values and principles on the national stage.
The VP also chairs the Senate and in case of a tie vote gets to be the tie breaker.
Allen West.
I would like to see Allen West in charge of Homeland Security.
I agree. Allen West, hands down. He’s a conservative straight-shooter.
By refusing to VOTE FOR THE GOP you CONTRIBUTE t o the DESTRUCTI ON of AMERICA! We need a very conserveative VP to help balance Romney’s liberal tendancies. Romney WILL BE a great President and he WILL reunite this country and Her People.
Why are we lining up like lemmings behind Mitt Romney? He will lose and in four years the Republican establishment will just buy the nomination for another liberal/moderate candidate. We must make it clear that an unacceptable candidate will not have our support. We will not be ignored.

Someone young enough to run following this administration and clear enough on the proper/limited role of government not to be so distracted by foreign issues that they fail to perceive our perpetual mad dash down the road to serfdom. Rand Paul perhaps.
Allen West
I would like to see Ron Paul as president and Judge Andrew Napolitano as vp. This would put a stop to the united jokers in America and stop the global new world order agendas.
Ron Paul would make the best surgeon general or sec. of the treasury.
How about Ron Paul as chairman of the Federal Reserve?
Ron Paul as chairman of an unconstitutional private bank?
Allen West. That’s the guy I choose to be in the fox hole next to our president.
Romney as vice president and anybody but Romney or Obama as president.
LOL! I agree, Chuck!
Why are we settling on Romney? Why are we lining up like lemmings behind Mitt Romney? He will lose and in four years the Republican establishment will just buy the nomination for another liberal/moderate candidate. We must make it clear that an unacceptable candidate will not have our support. We will not be ignored. It is time for an alternative…http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150480575159364&set=a.10150477726509364.318050.165297924363&type=1
I would love to run as the V.P. or even President one day. Grew up and traveled around in the military. My upbringing in the military has given me a different view on issues in life and on issues facing the nation today. A different perspective from those that have grown up outside the military life and upbringing. I am a conservative and I believe that everyone has the responsibility to protect our freedoms and way of life. Not let a liberal touchy feely attitude and perspective destroy what has made our country the great place it is today. Protecting our Borders, our Economics, our Military, our Culture,and our way of life is first and foremost today. We need to heal and take care of ourselves first before we spend trillions of dollars trying to fix other countries problems with little to no return on the backs of hard working american tax payers that foot their handouts.
Marco Rubio or Paul Ryan
Rubio is not a “natural born citizen”.
Rep. Allen West would be a great VP choice.
Santorum or rubio
Allen West
Newt
I would put Newt as Sec. of Defense! He knows what we need to do to protect this land.
I would love to see Marco Rubio for VP, but since he is not eligible to be President, I think the pick will be between Alan West and Suzanna Martinez. Both GREAT choices. We ALL need to get behind whoever the picks are and get them elected.
Is Rubio not a natural born citizen?
Rubio is a natural born citizen, born of first generation immigrant citizens – legal immigrants.
Rubio is NOT a natural born citizen. He’s a native born citizen because he was born in FL but his parents were not citizens when he was born so he is NOT a natural born citizen. Natural born citizen is one who is born on US soil of parents who are both citizens at the time of the birth. His parents became citizens but not until a few years after he was born. Same goes for Jindal, not eligible either. Dual citizens at time of birth are NOT ELIGIBLE!
( from wikipidia)The Constitution does not define the phrase natural-born citizen, and various opinions have been offered over time regarding its precise meaning. The Congressional Research Service has stated that the weight of scholarly legal and historical opinion indicates that the term means one who is entitled under the Constitution or laws of the United States to U.S. citizenship “at birth” or “by birth,” including any child born “in” the United States, even to alien parents (other than to foreign diplomats serving their country), the children of United States citizens born abroad, and those born abroad of one citizen parent who has met U.S. residency requirements.[1]
Though I have followed Ron Paul and supported him (and influenced some heavy influencers I know to vote for him in the primary), I would NOT be voting for a third party ticket no matter who is on it. I think Mitt Romney will be better than Obama and I believe though he is just a RINO basically, he will be too closely watched by the Tea Party and the true small government base of the Republican party to wander off into areas of progressivism. I do support Ron Paul for VP though, I think he strengthen the ticket to ignite the consitutional base, as well as being a good mentor for Mittens.
Really Marie! Stand up for your principles. Why are we lining up like lemmings behind Mitt Romney? He will lose and in four years the Republican establishment will just buy the nomination for another liberal/moderate candidate. We must make it clear that an unacceptable candidate will not have our support. We will not be ignored. It is time for an alternative…http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150480575159364&set=a.10150477726509364.318050.165297924363&type=1
Paul Ryan.
The country has economic issues. Keep the message focused on economic solutions.
The VP choice rarely ever helps the presidential candidate win, but a bad VP pick can certainly help him lose. Since Romney is basically the nominee already, he needs to pick someone who isn’t politically divisive and whose character and experience won’t be in doubt of that person has to take over as President.
My picks are Jon Huntsman (who knows a LOT more about foreign policy than Romney) or Gary Johnson (who actually has experience at balancing budgets).
Dave Ramsey! He is smart, can speak, can take the heat, and when it comes to telling it like is is and getting rid of debt nobody has better street cred!
good call!
I would saw Newt… he intimidates the “heck” out of the Dems. He still is the winner when it comes to debates – would love to see him debate Obama or Biden! With his many years of experience with Reagan, etc. and Romney’s business smarts it would be a great team. Then keep Ryan right where he is in charge of the financial end, and the others situated on committees where their expertise would be best used to get this country back on the right path!
Allen West for v.p. I am not fond of Romney but we need to keep the focus on the Supreme Court and other federal judges. We can not afford to allow Obama to appoint one more liberal justice – he has already appointed two too many – or we can all say farewell to our constitution. Justices Scalia (age 78), Kennedy (78), Breyer (76), Ginsburg (81)
Louie Gohmert would make an excellent VP. If you don’t know who he is, look him up. I think any conservative would be glad to have him as VP.
With Santorum out I still haven’t found someone that I can or will vote for for President much less a VP. I’m starting to feel that the GOP has blown it again by getting behind someone such as Romney that not even every registered republican can vote for, much less any independents that might vote for a republican this year. I can forgive for moral failures but I can not vote for someone that is against my BASIC Christian beliefs.
You’re doing youself a disservice by sticking to the “basic Christian belief” tired old song. Basic Christian beliefs are 1) that Jesus Christ is the only name wherein humanity can be saved. 2) that all must be baptized to be saved. 3) that all should love God and love their neighbors as themselves. Romney believes all this. Point to any other Protestant or Catholic doctrine such as the Trinity, to name one, and I’ll show you how the Pagan influence of the 1-4th centuries ACE are the root of this doctrine and not the gospel of Jesus Christ. Focus on the things you do have in common with Romney’s Christian belief (yes, he’s a different kind of Christian than you), but is still saved by Christ just like you are because he’s a believer. You’re shooting the entire conservative move toward the constitution in the foot by your archaic and misinformed stance.
So let me see if I have this correctly understood. You would rather cling to your christian beliefs and not vote for Romney than show your clarity about this nation’s destruction and cast a vote for a person who can turn it around? Romney’s beliefs may not be completely acceptable to you but what’s idea of the alternative.
Will you vote for a racist, white man hating president whose main goal is to gain a totally free reign to do what ever he wants for another four years without a concern about being re-elected? How will you feel about paying for health insurance you don’t like or want? How will you feel about paying a $2000.00 fine for not buying it? Will you recall your negative sentiment toward Romney as you stand in line at the unemployment window to look for a job or collect a check to feed your family.
Your alternative is to support Obama, whose path for what he wants for America should motivate you to do many things. But the last thing it ought to do is motivate you to sit on your mindless butt at home and so nothing. Or are you a civil servant who will not suffer no mater who’s in office?
Articulated perfectly, Al! ANYBODY is better than what we have right now.
Personally, I’d like to see an atheist president. An atheist would be able to respect other religions, yet not be tied down with his own religious/moral beliefs when trying to make decisions that effect a diverse country.
You’ve got that right. Why are we lining up like lemmings behind Mitt Romney? He will lose and in four years the Republican establishment will just buy the nomination for another liberal/moderate candidate. We must make it clear that an unacceptable candidate will not have our support. We will not be ignored. It is time for an alternative…http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150480575159364&set=a.10150477726509364.318050.165297924363&type=1
It’s unfortunate that we will have to vote for Romney. I have to wonder how Ron Paul would have faired if Newt or Santorum were not in the race. I would feel more comfortable voting if Paul was involved in some way. It’s time for something new. That’s what got Obama the job. The GOP hasn’t found anything but the same old same old.
Patrick,
I was feeling the same way about Santorum a few weeks ago when I saw the end of the road for him. Santorum pulled in more votes than Paul or Gingrich yet was also stymied by the same playing field.
For awhile I thought Gingrich was secretly staying in just to ensure Romney maintained first place in the Delegate count because arguably Santorum would have outright won or stayed much closer in Delegates, in more states, without Gingrich, even with Paul.
I am still trying to understand what Gingrich was thinking. My theories range from:
1) Gingrich played into Romney’s hand intentionally and has more cards to play. *** That is the Gingrich people expect
2) Gingrich let his emotions rule and was beaten because letting go of the prize was the only way he could have seen Romney defeated yet he was not psychologically able to let go. *** This I suspect is the truth
3) Gingrich conspired to defeat Santorum by splitting the conservative vote in order to guarantee Romney maintained the lead in Delegate count. This is the most vexing of the possibilities but history has shown that reality trumps fantasy times over. I could see it going this way if:
a.) Gingrich was secretly conspiring with Romney the whole time and the anger thing was a ploy to throw the media and everyone else off track (if so then it worked very well)
b.) Gingrich thought he could eliminate Santorum, then recapture the lost delegates and plod on (Phase one is complete but it all took too long that this falls apart because the conservative spirit is broken and won’t recover for this election)
NO YOU DON’T HAVE TO VOTE FOR ROMNEY. Why are we lining up like lemmings behind Mitt Romney? He will lose and in four years the Republican establishment will just buy the nomination for another liberal/moderate candidate. We must make it clear that an unacceptable candidate will not have our support. We will not be ignored.

Governor Brian Sandoval, R-Nevada. Conservative, a popular governor of a key southwestern swing state in this election, qualified to be vice president, ready if called upon to serve as president at a moment’s notice, experienced in every type of branch of government in one way or another. Has been a state governor, a state legislator, a federal judge, a state attorney general, and chairman of the Nevada state gaming commission, passed the bar exam in two states on his first try, has a degree in economics and law, so has executive experience, legislative experience, judicial experience, and knows economics, business, and law. Strong professional qualifications.
Condalisa Rice. She’s not quite as Conservative as I am (I’m a right wing radical like the Founding Father’s were) but she is an expert on Russia, which is becoming more of an issue every day. She’s black (enough) and her IQ is incredibly high. She’s had experience in the White House and around the world and she’s the equal as a Stateswoman as Ronald Regan. We NEED her to balance the lack of foreign affairs experience of Romney.
Paul Ryan. Prove to voters you’re serious about fiscal discipline. I am embarrassed that our government cannot do what any lemonade stand can do: not spend more than one makes.
What America is going to find out is….. romney is good at laundering money and then
it will be to late
Romney is problematic. Why are we lining up like lemmings behind Mitt Romney?

I know I’ll get criticized for this but… Sarah Palin. I think she’s the conservative Tea Partier we need to connect with the American people.
Marc Rubio

Mee,too! Why are we lining up like lemmings behind Mitt Romney? He will lose and in four years the Republican establishment will just buy the nomination for another liberal/moderate candidate. We must make it clear that an unacceptable candidate will not have our support. We will not be ignored. It is time for an alternative…Governor Johnson, who has been referred to as the ‘most fiscally conservative Governor’ in the country, was the Republican Governor of New Mexico from 1995-2003.
A successful businessman before running for office in 1994, Gov. Johnson started a door-to-door handyman business to help pay his way through college. Twenty years later, he had grown the firm into one of the largest construction companies in New Mexico with over 1,000 employees. Not surprisingly, Governor Johnson brings a distinctly business-like mentality to governing, believing that decisions should be made based on cost-benefit analysis rather than strict ideology.
Johnson is best known for his veto record, which includes over 750 vetoes during his time in office, more than all other governors combined and his use of the veto pen has since earned him the nickname “Governor Veto.” He cut taxes 14 times while never raising them when he left office, New Mexico was one of only four states in the country with a balanced budget.
Term-limited, Johnson retired from public office in 2003. An avid skier, adventurer, and bicyclist, he has reached the highest peak on four of the seven continents, including Mt. Everest.
In 2009, after becoming increasingly concerned with the country’s out-of-control national debt and precarious financial situation, the Governor formed the OUR America Initiative, a 501c(4) non-profit that promotes fiscal responsibility, civil liberties, and rational public policy. He traveled to more than 30 states and spoke to over 150 conservative and libertarian groups during his time as Honorary Chairman.
He has two grown children- a daughter Seah and a son Erik and currently resides in a house he built himself in Taos, New Mexico.http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150480575159364&set=a.10150477726509364.318050.165297924363&type=1
Romney probably won’t choose a governor. He will probably choose someone with federal experience. That tends to be the historical trend.
RON OR RAND PAUL WOULD BE THE BEST CANDIDATES FOR VP. RON PAUL IS ONE OF THE MOST NOTEWORTHY TEA PARTY HEROS AND HAS PROVEN THAT HE CAN WIN DELEGATES AND ENERGIZE THE YOUTH.
I’d love to see Newt as VP..
He’d tear up the vice presidential debates against Biden and put a zing in the debate MESSAGE..
Tom Corbett…You’ll just have to close your eyes girls when we vote for him
I say we get Pontious Pilot.
He would fit in great with the Romney Campaign.
If they lose the election, Romney and all the weasels that are so ready to blame the conservatives would get free hand washing lessons.
I like your spirit. Why are we lining up like lemmings behind Mitt Romney? He will lose and in four years the Republican establishment will just buy the nomination for another liberal/moderate candidate. We must make it clear that an unacceptable candidate will not have our support. We will not be ignored. It is time for an alternative…http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150480575159364&set=a.10150477726509364.318050.165297924363&type=1

The Tea Party should not support any GOP ticket headed by Mitt Romney. The GOP establishment used ts money to destroy any candidate that was true conservative. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150480575159364&set=a.10150477726509364.318050.165297924363&type=1

It is time for an alternative…Governor Johnson, who has been referred to as the ‘most fiscally conservative Governor’ in the country, was the Republican Governor of New Mexico from 1995-2003.
A successful businessman before running for office in 1994, Gov. Johnson started a door-to-door handyman business to help pay his way through college. Twenty years later, he had grown the firm into one of the largest construction companies in New Mexico with over 1,000 employees. Not surprisingly, Governor Johnson brings a distinctly business-like mentality to governing, believing that decisions should be made based on cost-benefit analysis rather than strict ideology.
Johnson is best known for his veto record, which includes over 750 vetoes during his time in office, more than all other governors combined and his use of the veto pen has since earned him the nickname “Governor Veto.” He cut taxes 14 times while never raising them when he left office, New Mexico was one of only four states in the country with a balanced budget.
Term-limited, Johnson retired from public office in 2003. An avid skier, adventurer, and bicyclist, he has reached the highest peak on four of the seven continents, including Mt. Everest.
In 2009, after becoming increasingly concerned with the country’s out-of-control national debt and precarious financial situation, the Governor formed the OUR America Initiative, a 501c(4) non-profit that promotes fiscal responsibility, civil liberties, and rational public policy. He traveled to more than 30 states and spoke to over 150 conservative and libertarian groups during his time as Honorary Chairman.
He has two grown children- a daughter Seah and a son Erik and currently resides in a house he built himself in Taos, New Mexico.http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150480575159364&set=a.10150477726509364.318050.165297924363&type=1
Lemmings, lemmings, lemmings. Wow, what an intelligent tactic. The same stupid post over and over again. Get a life. Nobody cares about your stupid repetitive posts, they are just annoying. You’re obviously acting like a tool. No real ideas or intellect of your own, so you have to just keep re-posting the same thing. But don’t worry, nobody noticed that you posted the same thing like 30 times or so. Just go ahead and keep doing it!
Jack,
i apologize that you were offended by the term lemmings. I and I believe many other true conservatives do not believe that we should line up behind an unacceptable nominee of any party. It was my understanding that the Tea Party was non-partisan and should support candidate that supports Tea Party values.
Ima
I apologize if I seemed rude, however I was referring to your repetitive posts, ie the ones that were copied and pasted over and over and over and over and over again. Blogs are intended to be used as a form of dialogue, rather than copying and pasting the same posts over and over again. I respect your opinion, but typically its best to post a comment once, and then next time post a different comment. After using the same one verbatim so many times, it gets VERY annoying and becomes disregarded. Nothing personal, and again I do respect your opinion and your cause. Have a good day.
Jeb Bush
Hasn’t the Bush family dynasty done enough damage? Talk about a whole family of NEOCONS!!!!!!
I guesshelped you write the music for the flute for Pied Piper.
Ron Paul – I’d like him to lead the Senate and be the “tiebreaker” – he’ll be a reliable vote for liberty and freedom, limited government, constitution.
It’s a woman, and she has more guts then most of the wimps I’ve seen or heard in Washington, D.C. She has class, morals and values, is a christian woman, defends our second amendment rights, and walks her talk, she is Michelle Bachmann.
Newt Gingrich.
The last election was more about the republican VP candidate than the President.(against Palin)
Newt would eat biden for lunch, even at breakfast time.
I dont like Mitt or Mc’Cain.
I would and will vote for the GOP party as Obama must go.
I will concentrateon lower offices and always support the most conservative candidates. (but never a demoncrat)
If a snickers candy bar won the GOP nomination against Obama, I would vote for the candy bar.
it will be easier to move to the right even a little when we can than to move to the correct position on the right in one huge step.
The progressives have taken control little by little. I wish we could make it right in one election, but this is most likely fantasy. We need to get what we can when we can. Make the most out of it.
If Mitt wins, that does not mean he has to be the choice for the GOP in 4 years. Maybe we can go from Mitt to Allen West in 4 years.
Vito Fossella. Former Congressman from New York is my pick. He was hounded out of office on trumped charges that make Bill Clinton look like a choir boy by comparison. He was attacked viciously because he is Italian. We need to return this country back to the days of Fiorello LaGuardia, Rudy Giuliani, and, yes, Benito Mussolini. Support Fossella for VP!
Col. Allen West is the best pick for VP he will lead not follow.
Jon Huntsman is probably one of the most qualified people to be VP.
Birther problem… Are U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal natural-born citizens of the United States, and thus eligible for the vice presidency? Although both Gov. Jindal and Senator Rubio were born in the US, Gov. Jindal’s parents were citizens of India and Senator Rubio’s parents were citizens of Cuba at the time of his birth.
It wouldn’t matter as long as they were born in America.
Matt, you are wrong on this point.
you guys are an embarrasment. who’s the vp?, meaning you’re going to accept romney? many of us who are formally part of any particular tea party group have been wondering where is the tea party. now i have my answer. at least the tea party patriots are a bunch of pussies
I assume you are refering to the lack of results seen from Ron Paul. I would prefer Ron Paul over Mitt. But again, if my choice is between Ron and Obama, it is Ron. Mitt or Obama, Mitt, a snickers Bar over Obama, snickers bar. Mitt has hardly a leg to stand on in the health care B.S. We always seem to have a choice between a douch bag and turd sandwich. dont be discouraged. that is what the progressive movement wants.
John:
Read my earlier post. If the tea-party wants to have a real impact, they need to do what Bernstein and Woodward were told to do. Follow the money. Only this time don’t follow the money, STOP the money. I’d send back every piece of campaign literature received from the RNC, the state Rep party and any local piece you may receive and write on it that you aren’t listening and until you do you don’t get a dime. Maybe they will get the point. Problem is there are too many worried bout too many side issues. We need to focus on the one issue that should be uniting us. Pass a balanced budget amendment, cut spending (INCLUDING DEFENSE SPENDING) Pass a line item veto and repeal obama care but replace it with a national health care reform that is constitutional and equitable.
Rubio or Allen West.
Rubio is not a :”natural born citizen”.
Bob McDonnell for Vice-President
Rick Santorum for Attorney-General
Paul Ryan for Treasury Secretary
Jon Huntsman for Secretary of State
David Petraeus for Defense Secretary
Sarah Palin for Interior Secretary
Herman Cain for Commerce Secretary
Donald Trump for US Trade Representative
Ron Paul for Federal Reserve Board of Governors
Also Newt has to be in there
somewhere.
Don’t you guys know how to answer a simple question with a simple answer? Jees!
Allen West is the best!
Mitt Romney needs all the help he can get on the 2012 election battlefield and that help should be general David Petraeus a very conservative voice!!!
Still not giving up for the rightful person.
http://palinquakes.com/the_stark_contrast
After reading all the names put forth here, I’d have to go with Allen West. I’ve heard him interviewed several times and I really like him.
condalizza rice?
Ron Paul is a conservative, Eisenhower was a conservative, Robert Taft was a conservative. Most of you wouldn’t know freedom if it bit you on the butts. Oh yea and good luck beating Obama with that socialist turd Romney. If Ron Paul is so crazy, why does he have over a million followers and counting? Why is the baby boomer generation so lost when it comes to freedom?
Alan West is most probably the best choice to turn around the current political climate. He’s got years of sustained proven leadership, Understands and equipped to deal with foreign policy and domestic issues, family values, articulate and poised. He will bring with him many black voters who now will be able to assess by choice a sense of creditability of who is best for the future of America. A man who has stood up and faced the enemy in the Field of Battle and has made his mark in society honesty. The alternatives choices do not represent the unity required ot offset the one who has played the flute like Pied Piper and has taken the ordinary citizen into beleving change yet led them into the river for Americas demise.
I am with the Allen West for VP crowd. I just hope that even though Romney may not have been any of our first second or even third choice as President, he definitely hs one attribute that I think we can all agree is a great one. That attribute is “HE AINT OBAMA!” That is the one oen thing which we absolutely must have. And if we can get him elected then I think we put extreme pressure upon him to move further to the right.
Allen West would go a long ways to neutralizeing Obama’s advantage with blacks.
The participants of the original “Tea Party” in Boston Harbor had a courage and conviction that you of today’s so called “Tea Party” are so far removed from you would not recognize it.
You who call yourselves the “Tea Party” made impressive moves towards these traits between 2007 and 2010. It seems now that your spines have grown weak and can no longer carry the burden.
As you drift towards support of an idividual for whom you will “hold your nose” and vote for, I advise you take a moment and reflect:
What if, like you, the activists dumping tea into Boston Harbor chose instead to fall in line with their peers?
Your forebears showed great courage in speaking out against the Sugar Act of 1764.
They showed great courage in questioning the Currency Act of 1764.
They showed great courage and conviction in opposing the Stamp Act of 1765.
They showed great courage and conviction in refusing to enforce the Quartering Act of 1765.
They showed great courage, conviction and sacrifice in resisting the Declaratory Act of 1766.
They showed great courage, conviction and sacrifice in boycotting the Townshend Acts of 1767.
Image then that these men of belief and principle failed to take action against the Tea Act of 1773, that thier courage just was not up to the task. Their spines could not carry the load.
Image that, like you, they thought to themselves “We already got most of what we wanted, let us hold our nose on this one issue. Let us trade our convictions for their good will.”
They could easily be forgiven for this. In the grand scheme, what is a relatively small tax on tea?
Would you have a movement?
Would we have a nation?
Through the veil of history, it would seem these men were better men than you.
They did not sacrifice their convictions.
They did not give in to their fears.
They did hold firm to their priciples.
Those that took action refused to “hold their nose” and tollerate a lesser option.
Those that took action refused to fall in line with their peers.
It seems you do not have the stuff to match these patriots.
I hope I am wrong.
Does this person sound like edscan to anyone else?
Joe Biden.
When Tea Party folks on Medicare and Socialist Security give up these socialist welfare programs, when the Koch brothers stop bankrollinbg this “grassroots” movement, and when Tea Party folks can actually answer the simple question “How many Senators does Michigan have in Congress”, I will join you.
(I actuallly went to a Tea Party rally to learn. What I learned is that all these folks screaming “no taxes” were actually on the social dole, and out of 11 Tea Partiers that I asked the above question, only one could answer it correctly. Duh.
Gingrich is a good choice for VP. He knows how DC works and that would be an asset for Romney.
The ONLY way i will vote for the RINO Romney is if he picks Col. Allen West as his running mate!
What has happened to the Tea Party Movement? Since when has the Tea Party Movement allowed a corrupt media and the NRC to decide who should be the Republican candidate for President? Money advantage, that is now our gauge for determining the person best qualified to be President? Soros has plenty- perhaps we should just anoint him to be President? Honesty, integrity, courage–none of these are important? Vision ? Who’s version- socialist? The Tea Party Movement seems lost, comfortable, unable to fight for the cause of liberty. The Tea Party had it within its grasp to influence the direction of this republican party nominating process, but has been comfortably sleeping instead of investigating the facts and leading a coalition to put an actual conservative in the White House. It is not too late. Rise up, unite, find your voice. Newt is a conservative. There is still time to influence the outcome of the election by becoming involved instead of just pontificating! Join the fight—–support Newt $2.50 gallon gasoline. Get involved before we loose the biggest fight of our lifetime—our homeland for which many brave have sacrificed treasure, life, and limb. God Bless the United States of America.
I got to be honest, looking at most of the posts here, I think we come off as a bunch of ignorant, extremist nut jobs. There is NO HOPE that we can come together and behave as a party. We are doomed.
We MUST get behind the repub party, even if we must hold our noses. Gain control of Congress & the WH. Replace all the socialists in ALL parts of gov’t. and the Repub party. This puts the Repub party back in conservative hands. It will be a long bitter battle, but we can do it.
Splitting the vote will asure obasma is re-elected.
I don’t like it because most of our choices stink, but we must do it or we will lose our freedom.
I have to admit that I only see Romney as better than Obama but not as a principled conservative. However, we must protect our country from another four years of an unleashed, unrestrained radical socialist that has appointed corrupt leaders at every turn. I don’t think his likability factor would poll as high if Americans realized the bitter agenda he is following. His strategy for the campaign seems to be “divide and conquer”. Our United States of America will follow the paths of every communist country in history. As President Lincoln quoting scripture stated, “a house divided by itself cannot stand.” this administration is not a typical democrat’s government. No, it is blatantly dissolving the sovereignty of our country’s right to defense,currency, freedom and privacy of individuals. So many scandals have been exposed that some are becoming immune to the psychological impact of each incidence of incompetence and/ or corruption. It seems almost unbelievable that a US president could have evil intentions toward his own presumed country. Our president will probably sneak in a vote to extend the terms permitted for his own office. Lol
We need to do WHATEVER it takes to get Obama out.
I personally would prefer someone more conservative
than Romney, but I will vote Republican just to get
this communist out of the presidency. We in the
Tea Party can work from there. The man who would
be pivitol in all this is Newt Gingrich–brilliant, a conservative
and a man who can hold his ground. He did it before as
Speaker and he could do it again.
Alan West as VP would terminate the current dictator.
Alan West as VP would terminate the current dictatorship.
VP possibilities: Allen West, Sarah Palin, Paul Ryan, Newt Gingrich (IF he does not get the nomination)
No wonder you TP women are a bunch of Stepford wives. I mean, do any of you read newspapers?…and I’m not talking about The Washington Times, I’m talking about real newspapers?
Allen West?…besides being a raving lunatic and being kicked out of the Army, yes, a wonderful choice…80 Communists in Congress?..oh, yes, he’s a lock to pick up the Crazy Vote!
Sarah Palin?…Half Governor Palin is making too much money grifting and scamming the TP boobs out of all their money.
Paul Ryan?…He’s too smart to have anything to do with this trainwreck you call the 2012 GOP campaign.
Newt Gingrich?…(If he doesn’t get the nomination)…I’m going out on a limb here and say he doesn’t get the nomination.
Your best choice for VP is Spiro Agnew…if you’re in agreement I’ll get the shovels out and we can get this show on the road!…
What is this question when I see Romney as little better than a white Obama? I’m just a frightened senior that want’s to see a Teddy Roosevelt running. How is it that criminals are in charge in Washington and everyone is talking election? Has no one seen that the election results are to be tabulated by a company owned by a large contributor to Obama’s campaign and this is moved to SPAIN? There is also to be no way to check the validity of the results. The name of the party he is running for is going to be renamed the DAZI party. Does no one realize that if allowed to finish this term our nation has the precedent of an illegal alien in the office of president and ignoring the Constitution? Such a precedent may mean the USA is overthrown!
Of course it has to be AL SHARPTON to appear reasonable and not racist. Our nation is in the worst danger since it was founded and everyone is talking business as usual with a felon in the office of president and another as attorney general. Watch for me to be arrested for threatening the criminals that assaulted me with my walker. Are we overthrown as a nation?
I dont have a VP choice, but I never heard of Allen West but there is alot of people like him to be the VP but we will see and we have to vote for the right man for the job.
There is no way to know how you will vote if the company tabulating the votes is owned by an Obama supporter and the tabulation is to be done in SPAIN! You may vote for brand X and the count will be for brand Q. I want to know where the election commission was when this change of the company went down. Another case of being sold out. We may well be headed for a civil war and I’m way too old for this traitor and illegal alien in charge to have sold the election decision to one of his friends. You will never keep up with what is going on by watching the news. They have already ordered the riot control equipment!
Rubio is not who we thought he was. Ron Paul has never voted AGAINST the Constitution. voted AGAINST NDAA 2012 and put up a good argument before the house. Ron Paul is the best choice. That being said, the elite picked Romney because he is a card carrying CFR veteran. He is a socialist with a long record of public statements supporting abortion. We need ovomit out. But we don’t need a hand picked secret society member like two faced Romney. Mitt also voiced his support for NDAA 2012.
I think the “Condoleeza Rice” suggestion for VP makes the Republican Party look like a clown and guarantees a Democratic win. In 2004 she didn’t know the alphabet. She was an Akkadian prig who “didn’t believe in the concept of an alphabetic script” and “didn’t think reading and writing should be taught to children.”
Hieroglyphs are fine but hard to computerize. A VP who can read and write, preferably in Engish (the primary language of this great land) would be better.
Palin needs to stay on the promotion circuit. She’s great at promoting conservative ideas. West could be good. i would sell a kidney for a Paul/ Ryan ticket
