Joe Miller Has a Target on Romney

Joe Miller, who barely failed in his run to oust Sen. Lisa Murkowski in Alaska, is going to use some of his leftover PAC money to target Mitt Romney:
Tea Party hero Joe Miller says he’s focused on making sure Mitt Romney doesn’t become president.

In an interview with The Daily Caller, Miller, who unsuccessfully ran for the U.S. Senate in Alaska in 2010, said his Western Representation PAC hopes to spend at least $500,000 campaigning against Romney, a Republican candidate, in early primary states like New Hampshire.

“It’s about getting the government back to its fundamentals, limiting government and showing that Romney is not embracing that approach,” Miller said of his PAC’s “Stop Romney” campaign.

Miller, who chairs the Western Representation PAC, said he’s not supporting any other GOP candidate.

Miller said Romney has a “big government approach.” The PAC will publicize the former Massachusetts governor’s history of flip-flopping, or as Miller said, “where Romney use to be and where he claims to be today.”

“Unless you have the perspective of government that puts the constitution first, that means getting back to the enumerated powers, you have no business running for president and we’re not going to support you and in fact, we’re going to stop you,” Miller said.
Although one national Tea Party leader recently said the group would support Romney if he became the nominee, Mitt will have trouble getting their support in the primaries. He's not trusted because of his past liberal positions, Romneycare, and his recent embracing of global warming. Joe Miller won't be the only Tea Party activist looking to take Romney out in the primaries.
