Boston Herald calls Maine RP Supporters 'insurgents'

[Join The Paul Side]

And while most traditional party activists have rallied around McCain since then, dozens of Paul supporters sought to demonstrate their continuing backing for Paul over the weekend, holding his campaign signs aloft, chanting his name and winning time during a convention recess for a video presentation touting their favorite.

A McCain campaign contingent was at the ready to counter the insurgents’ efforts, making sure signs for the Arizona senator were widely distributed and displayed and organizing a signal corps encouraging delegates on the convention floor to vote yes or no on various matters.

Also what's interesting in this article is:

One proposed amendment that was only narrowly defeated would have declared the U.S. Constitution, in language used commonly by Paul partisans, to be the supreme law of the land and asserted opposition to undermining it "by giving illegal authority to unelected world bodies."

I can't believe McCain supporters have the nerve to call themselves Republicans, yet vote against the Constitution being the Law. This seriously disturbs me.

Well, just a set of tools. They vote for what they were said to vote for.

Well, we can't say the second part isn't true. In that case, I think "insurgent" sounds like a cool word. Makes us sound cool and dangerous.

I'm willing to accept both parts of the definition...PROUDLY.

I like the term, and have this on a t-shirt. (My wife got it for me!)

I commented on their word choice.

So now I am an insurgent because I support Paul. I spent 15 months detaining them in Iraq, now come home and am being called one because I support a candidate who believes in the constitution. Very, very sad.

We are not rising against no political party. There have been many party take overs (agenda change) in past history of United States. For us to influence Republican party... they call us fucking insurgents? I mean, it's people majority (rp's supporters) that are trying to change republican agenda to old one. How about neocons? How did few wealth individuals manage to change party's agenda and yet not be called any names like insurgents?

God, I am fed with with the media.
