| US Tea Party fans to boycott presidential election: Report |
| 2012-05-31 |
| [Iran Press TV] The United States' Tea Party Movement has reportedly said that its supporters will not cast their ballots in the November presidential vote in a bid to protest the election process in their country. Best way to lose an election is not to vote. Axelrod is getting desperate, he has Iran Press TV pushing his stuff now... Revelations of the planned boycott come as US media reported Tuesday that the Republican choice for the White House, Willard MittRomney, ...former governor of Massachussetts, currently the presumptive Publican nominee for president. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney's charisma is best defined as soporific, which is probably why he is leading the Publican field. On the plus side, he isn't President B.O... held a private meeting on the same day with Ron Paul's son to gain the movement's popular politician's favors. However, there's more than one way to stuff a chicken... Tea Party supporters, who comprise a considerable percentage of voters, emphasized they would boycott the coming presidential election to show their opposition to the election process. Paul, known as a peace-seeking candidate, is popular with the American youths and educated individuals, is also called the online president of the US. During the Republican election campaign, Paul several times denounced the US military presence in the Middle East and urged the government to withdraw all American troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. He believed the current US-led wars and military involvement in the Middle East run counter to the American constitution. The Texan politician has also criticized Washington's pressure on Iran over its nuclear energy program, and considered the US sanctions against Tehran as "acts of war." He has pushed for a peaceful settlement of the Western dispute with the Islamic Theocratic Republic. Paul, who has become the last Republican presidential candidate to drop out of the country's presidential race, is one of the most influential Republican figures in the Tea Party movement. The Tea Party movement is a populist political movement and recognized as conservative and libertarian. It backs reduced government spending, slashing taxes and reduction of the national debt and federal budget deficit. |

| #15 I'm not voting for Mitt. I am voting against Obama. Just like the last election where I didn't vote for that asshole from Arizona but against the Clown from Kenya. |

| #14 So what are the odds that if elected and Mitt doesn't get what he wants from Congress/Courts, he'll RULE by fiat and dictate via the bureaucracy? What are the odds that if re-elected and Obama doesn't get what he wants from Congress/Courts, he'll RULE by fiat and dictate via the bureaucracy? You really want a political show down that leads to actual impeachment [assuming the Beltway has the guts and will to do it, which is doubtful given their record] when you can avoid the process now? And if you fail in the impeachment process will it not only encourage future overreach of power? Governor Tarkin: The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I have just received word from Coruscant that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away forever. |

| #11 Amazing how the propaganda from the Iranian regime and the wishes of the Democrat party are indistinguishable... |

| #10 Boycott. hell. I'd crawl over broken glass to vote against SCOAMF Zero. As I suspect would most of the Tea Party. It's also essential to fill the House & Senate with enough true conservatives & (small-l) libertarians to finally begin the rollback of 100+ years of "progressive" (aka Constitutionally destructive) laws & policies. |

| #9 In case you missed it. "If Mitt wins the nomination, I will enthusiastically support his candidacy for president. For my friends who have hesitation on that score, I'd just ask you to keep four things in mind: Justice Scalia just turned 78, Justice Kennedy will turn 78 later this year, Justice Breyer will be 76 in August, and Justice Ginsburg turned 81 about a week ago. We wish them all well, of course, but the brute fact is that whoever we elect as president in November is almost certainly going to choose at least two and maybe more new members of the Supreme Court -- in addition to hundreds of other life-tenured federal judges, all of whom will be making momentous decisions about our lives for decades to come. If you don't think it matters whether the guy making those calls is Mitt Romney or Barack Hussien Obama, I think you're smokin' something funky." --columnist Andrew McCarthy |

| #8 Playing into the hand of Obama and the communists. The Dems only want die hard democrats voting, they'd be delighted to see everyone else stay home. |

| #6 Is your refrigerator running? Against Obama, I'll vote for it. |

| #5 The Tea Party is not a protest organization. It is quite easy to discern - Taxed Enough Already. If Cesar had a tax collector at every street corner for every activity, I would be pissed and so should you. It is time to back government off of our Hyde, in many ways. Get a mitt for the oven. |

| #4 I'm not voting for Romney. Held my nose in too many elections. No more. I don't remember the last time I voted for someone. It was always *against* the other guy. We had an O-Club discussion about voting a few years back where someone said they were not going to eat a sh*t sandwich. Well, here's news for you: the entire country is going to be eating at one of two cafeterias for four years. Do you want four more years of what Obama has been serving up? Remember it is not just the guy at the top, but also the people he appoints. And yeah, the down-ticket races are important too. |

| #3 The United States' Tea Party Movement has reportedly said that its supporters will not cast their ballots in the November presidential vote in a bid to protest the election process in their country. Seems to me that the Iranian government might be using their press to suggest to the masses that if the US electorate behaves this way, then they should too if they don't like the theocracy-approved candidate. Makes things all that much easier, you see. The ignoramuses will fall right into the mullah's hands at this rate. Dale: Hitler won by one vote. Better hold your nose again because worst case is that Romney is the lesser of two evils. No complaining if Obama wins if you didn't vote. We don't need Obama appointing any more Supreme Court justices, either, which is the best way for him to continue his jihad that is resulting in long-term damage to the US. |

| #2 No way Jose!. Tea party is alive and well. Vote to get Obama out is the best chance to turn things around. Cutting spending will be a bitter pill. Obama might come back with hope and change in four years. "Axelrod is getting desperate, he has Iran Press TV pushing his stuff now..." ditto that. |

| #1 Iranian news. Thought it would be WAPO or NYT. Anyway, I'm not voting for Romney. Held my nose in too many elections. No more. Plenty of interesting down ticket races to get involved with. Good times. |
