Maine Legislator Turncoat

[ChrisDixon]

Rep. Ryan Harmon, a supposed Ron Paul supporter who often speaks libertarian, sent out this e-mail this morning:

Dear Friends,

We are making incredible strides in our effort to restore liberty and fiscal responsibility to America. Over the past few months Dr. Paul has been an exemplary advocate for our shared commitment to the Constitution. I am sincerely grateful for his contributions and I am honored to have had the opportunity to support him.

With the General Election in sight, I believe that we can best advance our shared ideals by uniting with our fellow Republicans to challenge Barack Obama. Mitt Romney is a proven leader in the movement to restore prosperity and freedom to America and there is no doubt in my mind that he will be a principled President.

Friends, I urge you to join me in supporting Mitt Romney and voting for his slate of Delegates to the Republican National Convention. Now is the time for us to come together and unite as Conservatives.

In Liberty,

Ryan Harmon
State Representative

"Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it." - James Madison

[odamn]

POS .

 

[tommyrp12]

he probabley got paid or assured a certain political position.

 

[bluesc]

Remove him from office. Destroy him.

Thanks.

 

[LatinsforPaul]

How much $$$$ did he get from the RNC or the Romney campaign to sell out LIBERTY?

 

[Lord Xar]

He is hoping to sway the weekend festivities Romneys way.... what a POS.

 

[ChrisDixon]

he probabley got paid or assured a certain political position.

Multiple Paul supporters have e-mailed asking him if he got some sort of sweet deal and he claims that's not how he rolls.

I'm completely dumbfounded. This blind-sided me hard, because I spoke to Ryan Harmon last winter and pulled him in with the Paul grassroots because he looked like the real deal. Ludwig von Mises profile picture, posts libertarian and Austrian quotes, and has taken some hell for his open support of Ron Paul.

And now THIS?! What the hell...

Don't email him. Destroy him.

 

[JK/SEA]

This is the strategy. Put on a Ron Paul mask, say Liberty a few times, then when we all need you the most stab the REAL defenders of LIBERTY supporters in the back.... He must go.

This guy is a tool.

James Madison would be turning in his grave knowing this guy used his writings as a quote.

Well, James Madison wasn't exactly Mr. Consistency, either...

 

[kathy88]

Nice he showed his true colors. Now let's ensure his political career is a short one. F**ker.

Highly unlikely, he'd have to be a zombie to do that.

You never know... they may have dirt on him.

Destroy him.

 

[sailingaway]

Destroy him.

that terminology can be read to imply more than making sure every liberty leaning voter and supporter knows he runs when the chips are down, and that he deserves opposition, not support. I'm sure you don't mean it that way.

[libertyjam]

In state that elects the likes of Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe is getting rid of him even possible?

Definitely he deserves the opposition

 

[lib3rtarian]

I really really HATE betrayers like this. Spread the word about his betrayal so that no liberty lover in ME will touch him with a bargepole in the future. Kick the motherfucker out of office. He has been bought off by Romney.
