Romney for President, Please Reconsider
After keepings his distance from the tea party movement since its inception, the ever calculating Mitt
Romney has realized he needs the tea party if he is to win his bid to be president of the United States.
So he is going to speak at his first tea party event soon.
Reminder to Mitt Romney: The tea party movement is not only a reaction to the big government policies
of President Obama and the Democrats who ran Congress from 2006-2008. It is also a reaction to the
disappointment and frustration with big government Republicans like you, who ran the country too
much like the Democrats for too many years.
To put it another way, we support free markets, constitutionally limited government, and fiscal
responsibility and we oppose politicians from both parties who do not.
Romney does not, so we oppose him.
A few of highlights from Romney’s record showing just how unfriendly he has been over the years to
the ideas the tea party holds dear (links and details further below):
Romney distanced himself from Reagan and Reagan’s policies
Romney didn’t like the Contract with America
Romney led the fight for and implemented health care reform almost identical to ObamaCare
Romney called his beta version of ObamaCare “a model for the nation”
Romney defended the individual mandate, saying, “I like mandates. The mandates work.”
Romney supports cap-and-trade “on a global basis”
