Curtis Loftis is not the TEA Party

Of all people who could claim “TEA party” support, Mitt Romney is the last. Despite the spin, SC Treasurer Curtis Loftis is NOT the TEA party.

This nationwide movement is composed of millions of independent-thinking individuals who are fed up with high taxes and big government. Local TEA party organizations cannot even tell these people who to vote for–much less the State Treasurer.

As an enthusiastic supporter of Curtis Loftis for Treasurer in 2010, I am extremely disappointed in his decision to endorse Gov. Mitt Romney, but that decision is his own, nothing more.

Mr. Loftis, you may feel that Romney “has the greatest chance of taking back the White House in 2012,” but like Sen. Jim DeMint, I’m at a point where I’d rather lose fighting for the right cause then win fighting for the wrong cause. Judging from DeMint’s exceeding popularity here in SC and abroad, I am not alone.

If you want to remain relevant, you and all your friends in Columbia had better understand that we are fed up with higher taxes and government intrusion into our personal lives. Whether you call it Obamacare or Romneycare, it’s all the same to us.

Yes, even when it comes in a nice, pretty Republican package.
