The leader of a national tea party group suggested Monday that Republican might want to start exploring whether it is too late to replace Mitt Romney atop the party’s ticket after one of the campaign’s top advisers argued that the individual mandate in the President Obama’s health care law is not a tax.
Tea Party Nation’s Judson Phillips said Thursday’s Supreme Court ruling upholding health care reform offered Mr. Romney an opening with anti-tax advocates and the middle class — an opening that was squandered by Romney advisor Eric Fehrnstrom’s comments Monday that the former Massachusetts governor disagrees with the contention that the law is actually a huge tax increase.
“We did not like Obamacare to start with and now that the Supreme Court has called it a tax, it gave Romney the room to run straight for a touchdown,” Mr. Phillips wrote on the group’s blog. “What kind of idiots are running the Romney campaign? Instead of spiking the football and winning, the Romney campaign has just turned over the ball.”

And now you see what i have seen all along! Ron Paul 2012! just look him up on the net. stop believing the Paid for by bailed out bank news networks. Look up Ron Paul for your self.
Romney is evil …. and will be hauled away for the fraud that he is!
Well said!
Should have voted for Ron Paul, but it’s not too late to convince national delegates to choose Ron Paul as the nominee. Afterall he is the only one that hasn’t given up and he’s doing it for us as a nation. Seriously listen to some of his speeches on youtube. He’s an honest man, and has never voted for a tax increase. He’s the only one that’s against obamneycare. Don’t forget the one time Massachussetts governor is the one who came up with the idea first and wants to replace Obamneycare with his own version of the same thing so he can get credit for it.
Exactly it’s NEVER too late to wake people up! The nation (and world) are in for a big surprise come August.
