Staten Island Congressman Michael Grimm ... Is A Tea Party Republican

Staten Island Republican Michael Grimm, backed by Tea Party, backs Mitt Romney for White House

October 10, 2011
by Alison Gendar

The Tea Party helped get Staten Island Rep. Michael Grimm elected, but Grimm is coming out early for the GOP establishment's choice - Mitt Romney.

"The goal above all else should be winning the White House in 2012," the Republican said.

he is getting federal aid or he wants federal aid, it's not realistic. What did I say that was rude. I was giving my opinion.

A Tea Party Anti-Government House member asking for the government to come to the rescue.

It's all about the hypocrisy.

You'd figure with all their wealth...and the tons of money they're throwing to corrupt our political system, they could spare a billion to help people in need. Ya know...maybe an airlift of boxes of Bounty Towels and Dixie Cups...or maybe we should invite Haliburton in just like skeletor and booooshie did in New Orleans. Yep, let the "free market" that Willard thinks will do disaster relief better than the government...

I try to avoid CNN, but I had to hear what he has to say.

A Tea Party Republican complaining about the slow response? Shouldn't he want NO response? Isn't that what the Tea Party is all about. Fend for yourself. Everyone is on his/her own.

What HYPOCRISY!
