UPDATE: Great pictures from the San Francisco event by Zombie. A very different event than described by legacy media in article below. This picture from Zombie.
=========================
"The Tea Party doesn’t endorse candidates and at the rally, there wasn’t even a mention of the likely Republican Presidential Nominee, Mitt Romney."
4/14/12, "Tea Party Holds Rally In San Francisco," sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com
"A few hundred conservative activists gathered at Justin Herman Plaza in San Francisco on Saturday for a Tea Party rally ahead of the November election.
They waved American flags, wore NRA ball caps and carried signs, all while urging their fellow Republicans to use the presidential campaign to change the direction of the country.
Longtime activist Melanie Morgan asked the crowd to check their misery index.
“High gas prices, check. High unemployment, check. High debt, check,” she said. “It is past time that we ask ourselves what Reagan asked us years ago, are you better off today than you were three years ago?”
Pam Sileman, who heads the Napa Tea Party, told the crowd that their concerns are being heard.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen to our country. I don’t have all the answers but I do know that the answer is us. It’s here,” said Sileman. “Keep it up because we’re making a difference.”
San Francisco Police had words for a man who found his way onto the stage and its open microphone before he was booed off by the crowd.

Below, Romney says he's not going to lower himself to say things "the conservative base" wants to hear. Whoever this "base" is, he says they only want "incendiary" comments and fiery anti-Obama speech. If you ask me, the people he describes sound like mental patients. Therefore, the Tea Party is not part of the Romney "conservative base."
2/28/12, "Romney, Acknowledging Mistakes, Says He Won’t Say ‘Outrageous’ Things to Win," ABC News, The Note
"Mitt Romney vowed that he would not “light his hair on fire” just to rally the conservative base, even if it means not winning the GOP nomination.
“You know it’s very easy to excite the base with incendiary comments,” said Romney. “We’ve seen throughout the campaign that if you’re willing to say really outrageous things that are accusatory and attacking President Obama that you’re going to jump up in the polls. You know, I’m not willing to light my hair on fire
- to try and get support. I am who I am.”"
==================
If Romney wants to win without mentioning Obama he could do so by campaigning against the media. The biggest jump in the polls for an R candidate was after Gingrich bashed the elite media-not Obama. But it's not clear Romney does want to win. He seems a carbon copy of McCain who did not want to win either. He only wanted to be the candidate.

1/23/12, "The GOP Establishment in Abject Panic: They Don't Understand Their Own Base," Rush Limbaugh, transcript
Rush Limbaugh: Conservatives have played by the rules yet are laughed at everywhere they look. "Nobody fights back for 'em."
-----------------------------
11/4/10, "Ruling Class GOP declare war on country class conservatives, " Rush Limbaugh transcript.
Rush explains what we see, the Ruling Class GOP will fight more viciously to defeat conservatives than they will to defeat Democrats.
---------------------------------
Ed. note: Rush Limbaugh is excellent at validating our concerns for this country and noting that the GOP establishment is our biggest impediment. He long ago said the establishment GOP considered enemy number one to be "we the people," and that they'd fight more viciously to keep conservatives out of power than they would to defeat Obama. The problem is Limbaugh continues to promote his dear friend Karl Rove. Rove is a joke, an embarrassment, a proven failure, and a problem. He personifies the 'establishment' and is only concerned with trying to hold on to power for himself. The NY Times has made clear they hope he does so. Limbaugh could not hold the beliefs expressed on his radio show and still be friends with and promote Rove if the former were genuine. He is either faking it on the radio or faking it with Rove. When it matters most, I have seen Limbaugh side strongly with the establishment and scorn the rest of us. He did this last year in a matter regarding Boehner. One has no choice but to see he's obviously faking it when he speaks to us ordinary Americans.

In which they cite Karl Rove as their kind of guy.

Former GOP Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, now a big-time Washington lobbyist, has already told the Washington Post that
