But the way I look at it is that it is the worst form of treason. Invalidating the election process is a direct attack on the Constitution. It should be dealt the severest of punishments!
Unfortunately for Cornyn, he's got a public record that cuts against the grain of Tea Party ideals. He won't survive a challenge from the right in his next re-election campaign.
"Toeing the line" won't erase his history of RINO votes and country club elitism.
I have done several counts and re-counts in massive counties.
If y’all live in the areas where the counts are being done, contact Miller and volunteer to monitor. They seem shorthanded.
Sadly, Senator Cornyn is not the least impressed with potential fraud.
Cornyn hasn’t had a conservative opponent since he won the Republican primary for attorney general in 1998.
Re: “Who might be the Tea Party candidate against Snowe in 2012?”
Good question. We’re working on it.
The Maine TEA plate (or should I say “saucer” is pretty full right now, so that will have to wait a bit for major focus. We only had about 17 Conservatives in the whole Legislature last year, and one of them came out in support of a RINO primary gubernatorial candidate at Sen. Collin’s behest, which set us back on our heels a bit.
We don’t seem to have a lot of politically viable experienced and qualified Constitutionalists to pick from up here in Maine right now, unfortunately. Then if you do, the Party establishment will hang them out to dry if not actively sabotage them.
“Professor” John Frary, who is a Historian and a hoot and a half of a character, ran back in 08 but didn’t get taken very seriously at all, and I really don’t think that he expected to be.
Congressional Candidate Dean Scontras used to be a hard core Conservative when he ran in 08, and the Constitution Party (many members of which were former Republicans who had given up in despair) supported him even as a Republican, since he stood for everything the CP (which if you check it out is not very far removed from the TEA Party phenomenon) did. Also, the CP of ME couldn’t get anybody to run for anything, nor could we get on the ballot despite a WW-II Veteran and Minister of the Gospel getting thrown in jail for collecting signatures outside and in front of a Post Office.
I only returned to the GOP at the urging of a fellow Conservative who convinced me that the TEA Party, combined with the backlash (or “bungee effect”) of the Obama catastrophe might give us another chance of possibly getting our Country back before it falls entirely into tyranny and/or anarchy... God willing.
Anyway, in this election cycle Us TEAPers by and large were all ready to rally to Dean Scontras’ campaign, when he too came out publicly endorsing Hahvahd Lawyah and former Collins Campaign Director and Chief of Staff Steve Abbott, turning his back by doing so on significantly more conservative Candidates like Paul LePage and Bill Beardsley.
I don’t know how Collins set her hook into Scontras, but it’s obvious that she has and Teapers sensed that the line leading back to Collin’s reel is quite intact, so when Dean looked around there was NO yellow Gadsden flag behind him all of a sudden.
“Betrayed” is the sense that a lot of ME Conservatives seem to feel about some of our formerly trusted conservative icons lately. I don’t know how the Collins / Snowe Cabal got to them, but they obviously did.
I’m afraid that card carrying Socialist Shellie Pingree has little to worry about in November, and she can probably thank Senator Susan Collins for that. She probably already has.
2nd District Congressional Candidate Jason LeVesque displayed superior intelligence in the primaries by refusing to endorse any of the 7 GOP Candidates. I suspect that Collins probably cast her line at him too, but he seems to have had sufficient intelligence and / or testicular fortitude to have declined her bait.
Jason appears to be enjoying far greater TEA support than Dean, although like most of the other candidates nationally, seems rather reluctant to admit it. Incumbent Democrat Rep. Mike Micheaud, although fairly popular in his District, might be in for a bit rougher ride... or so we might hope.
RE: “Maybe LePage can run against Collins in 2014 if he wins in November?”
Lord knows it’s going to take more than one term to repair half of the damage the Marxists, mobsters, and Union thugs have done to this State over the past 30 years!
He’d be a good one, but first we’ve got to keep the Commucrats, who at this point can’t possibly legitimately WIN, from STEALING this election (Chicago has nothing on Maine!) and IF we manage to beat the machine and get him in against all odds, then we’ve got to get a majority in the Legislature in order to let him get anything done.
That might take a while; Urban and Yuppie Commies have OWNED Maine for over 30 years now, as you surely know, and the electoral clout of our major cities and college campi (where out of state Students living off campus are allowed to vote, and van loads of them have been followed around to 37 polling places during one election) is a force to be reckoned with.
The relatively new ME TEA movement is currently struggling to get sort of organized, overcome predictable tiffs and spats among factions and cliques as happens within any movement, and stimulate grassroots education and local involvement.
Right now we are working on Constitution Day and holding Schools accountable for US Public Law 108-447 Section 111.
Know what that is? If they are not following it, then we want to know why.
We are also encouraging TEApers to volunteer to serve on local School boards and keep an eye on textbooks and curriculum used in our local indoctrination mills.
There are countless dens of sedition’s roaches and vermin thriving in that fetid darkness all around us which so desperately need to be illuminated by the Light of Truth, and if we don’t bring it, then who will?
There is an active “Snowe Removal” campaign going on here, and after we get past this election, we will be breaking out our Maine SNOWE SHOVELS!
Stay tuned!
Re #89: “I wouldn’t be surprised if the democrats bused in folks from Madagascar to vote for Mitchell.”
Nor would I.
We’ve gotta watch for them amphibious buses comin’ ashore down t’ Kennebunkport, y’know...
Of course Emperor Bald Archie already has about a quarter of Somalia here already, and we hear tell that he and his cohorts at Catholic Charities are gonna settle a few thousand more at the former Brunswick Naval Air Station soon. They’ve already converted a defunct store on Maine Street into a Mosque for them.
After they vote, they can set up a jiffy Jihad training camp there. Instant Islamburg from a former US military installation. How jiffy is that?!
They might even be able to use the runways for a Somali Jihad-a-Kazzi Air Force! Mullah Obama can donate several mothballed B-52s for them to load up with ordnance and send out to Infidel targets all over apostate Amerika for Allah!
There may be a tired old veteran “Buff” coming on a one way trip to a city near you soon. You’ll likely know when it gets there!
Perhaps they can use it as a staging area for hijacked air liners in between missions. We’ll see. It would be a “No-go” enclave area for us Infidels of course, so they need not worry about anyone attempting to rescue their hostages or snoop around their most high and holy Islamic / Democrat Party operations.
A local farmer told me in Church Sunday that federal grants are being given out to initiate the cultivation of goat herds here in Maine, and I’ve seen ‘em around Augusta already.
Now Islam is doing wonderful things for Maine’s economy.... or what’s left of it anyway. My neighbors just down the hill from us have a couple of goats and we can hear ‘em bawlin’ nigh on constantly.. up until they eat ‘em that is. Then they get a new one. The rooster adds a lot to the performance too.
I have a feeling that we’d best learn to like goat pretty soon...
RE 121: “Invalidating the election process is a direct attack on the Constitution. It should be dealt the severest of punishments! “
Amen and amen!!!
Those who steal elections steal our precious blood-bought FREEDOM! Perpetraitors should be given a fair trial within a week of getting caught, and if duly convicted, taken out the very next Morning and summarily shot. No appeals necessary; corpse in landfill, 25# quick-lime...
Next case, please.
