Question for the Tea Party

You got Romney, how does that feel?
Are you going to accept him? Is he the lesser of 2 evils?
Do you feel marginalized? Used?
Curious.

Actually I think Ron Paul was the only true fiscal conservative running, even Perry and Bachmann were pork guzzlers. So lowered expectations? Yes.

Washington is just too corrupt to turn around in one election cycle.

You could ask the exact same thing about Hillary supporters. Obama was picked over a more qualified and experience candidate in Hillary. I'm sure 90%+ of her supporters sucked it up and voted for Obama because Bush was a worse choice for them. It happens during every election...you can't ever find a candidate that everybody loves.

Agree! Do you feel used by the establishment. All the Republican establishment are falling into line.

Lesser of 2 evils yep, no question about it.

The country is still going down the tubes financially no matter who is elected. Washington DC is beyond repair. And the sheeple have not acknowledged the hole we are in or the pain ahead.

I saw an article today on Yhoo Finance, the CBO is predicting we will owe and will pay ~$5T in interest in the next decade on the predicted national debt. $5T tax payers money right down the toilet. Flush. Keep up the good work!

The question on election day will be what is worse, four more years of Obama or four years of Romney? The liberals out there will insist on Obama, conservatives will hold their nose and vote for Romney. The question will be who the independents and both moderate Democrats and Republicans vote for. Santorum is proving that it's not just about how much money you have....but sadly in the end it may just be "the best president money can buy"....and we all know who has more money.

One thing seems for sure though. Four more years of Obama will likely keep us from having another liberal democrat in the White House for a very long time. Maybe we need four more years to firm this up.

I feel used by the Political Class (tm). This is not an either/or situation, this is all about money and power, and we all get screwed. The citizens get occasional gifts from the trickle-down corruption, the country as a whole gets the shaft and the Political Class (tm) continues to rape and plunder. Partisan politics is designed to keep us all busy as useful-idiots and we go to bed at night hoping we've changed the world.

Night, night little sheep.

If O gets another 4 yrs, and isn't stopped by a majority Rep house and senate, we are off the cliff financially. He added, and also made no effort to stop the nat. debt from growing from 10.6 trillion on his inauguration day to 15.5 trillion today. Another 4.7 yrs of that will make the debt service unsustainable. I feel bad for the next generation, and the taxes they will be forced to pay.

O has no intention of resetting anything. He likes spending, and likes big govt.

But one of Obama's campaing promises, was to cut the debt in 1/2! How has that debt reduction thing been working out for you, Barry?
