Maine Republican Party Delegates Shock Establishment by Adopting Tea Party Platform

Tea party activists said there were at least 100 convention delegates from one group, the Maine Patriots, as well as an unknown number from another group, Maine Refounders. Support for the new platform was fairly overwhelming, well beyond what could be attributed to the tea party alone. Efforts to table it were stomped, and it passed handily.

Snowe and Collins might be forced to run third party if the Tea Party is well organized in Maine. No matter what, they have to be retired.

Woohoo! Thanks for the ping! First they kicked Bob Bennett out of Utah, now they've written Maine's Republican platform. The Tea Partiers are alive and well.

Good for those Maniacs...er, Mainers. With the Utah Repubs kicking Bennett to the curb things are looking up. Another shot fired over the RINO/Dimrat bow.

I need to find my musket & powder and join in!

OMG, reading that platform made me cry! Definitely a step in the right direction for Maine, and all our States! Let's hope this Platform catches fire at the other State Republican Conventions!

ROFL!

Maybe there is hope for California...

Glad to see the Tea Party is not JUST protests but action.

Demonstrations are well and good but political activity at the grassroots level is indispensable.

[Professional]

Wow, that was awesome! You folks clearly have a plan. Now, shout it from the roof tops!!

Photos of Tea Party patriots like that have David Brooks and the rest of the rinos crying.

From MA, to Utah, to FL to HI, Tea Partiers are ACTING and influencing the future. Nothing’s perfect, but we are doing what is necessary, and what FReepers have been doing and advocating for over a decade!

ii. Eliminate motor voter and other voter fraud mechanisms; institute secure voter registration and identification systems.

Clinton signing Motor-Voter in 1993 with Cloward and Piven looking on:

I didn't even know they did this until years later. . .

LOL! Jim Gearhart of NJ 101.5 coined that one..years ago. He may finally see it happen, on a National level.
