The Tea Party Candidates 2012
|
![]() |
The ultimate goal of the tea party movement is to support our founders principles of the constitution and limited federal government, states' rights, individual liberty, personal responsibility and free markets. We want replace big government tax and spend and regulate progressives in Congress and the white house with commonsense conservatives that support those core principles. Unlike many of the politicians, we believe the American people are very smart and if given the facts, history and voting records of each politician in Congress and future candidates, it will be an easy decision for the American voter to make in supporting the most conservative of the available candidates.
The Tea Party movement cheered on freshmen Republicans in the House of Representatives to do everything they could to thwart a compromise.
Well, we got a compromise, and ended up with the worst of three worlds: trillions more in debt, no real spending cuts in the near future, and a downgrade of our credit rating. If one option is steering clear of an iceberg (truly reducing our debt) and the other option is running straight into the iceberg (ignoring the debt), a "compromise" that crashes half of the ship into the iceberg is still not a good plan.
But some Tea Party groups say the candidate until now has been unresponsive to their appeals. The Tea Party-tied FreedomWorks organized a counter-demonstration Sunday ahead of Romney's speech to hammer his record and perish the thought that the ex-governor is one of them. "He has not been consistently pro-market, pro-limited government, against government overreach. And that's what we're concerned about," FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe told Fox News. Representatives from a dozen local groups were expected to demonstrate in New Hampshire before Romney's speech. They're also handing out anti-Romney literature titled, "The Issue with Romney is the Issues." Their biggest complaint is the Massachusetts health care plan Romney helped pass as governor of that state -- the program included a requirement to buy health insurance, well before the same mechanism showed up in the Democrats' national health care overhaul. Romney repeatedly has said he opposes President Obama's health care overhaul, and that he understands what works in Massachusetts might not work in other states. Kibbe, though, called the state plan "anathema to Tea Party values." The groups also say Romney has rebuffed prior attempts to meet with him.
