Maine Liberty Republicans, including RNC Member Mark Willis, leave GOP

[CaptLouAlbano]

Their influence would have grown with time. Just in time for Rand's run. But that takes a certain degree of forethought.

This is a marathon, not a sprint. The progressives get it, it's a shame some of our people don't get it.

Yep. I get it, but I don't agree.

My husband made the same choice. He couldn't stand to be around the mainstream GOP loudmouths. I can't either, but they can't stand to be around me, either. I'm not going away unless they shove me of a cliff.

And now my son is 18, so he can be a delegate too.

My problem is I hate them and I am not a very diplomatic person.

why give up now ?
disappointing, but then maybe they had to.

Maybe there is no hope for turning around the RNC or politics in Maine and they finally realized that? I think it might be possible to fix ME politics 10-20 years down the line but only if liberty works in New Hampshire. We shall see. A lot of it depends on 20,000 people signing up for the Free State Project.

I'm not either. But you already knew that.

But my husband is, and it frustrates him that he can't communicate with the goons.

I can imagine nothing more fun than being a huge thorn to the establishment GOP by taking those very spots they despise liberty Republicans holding. The key is to take pleasure in making the corrupt neocons expose themselves and their BIG GOVT agenda. The best way to weaken their grip is to deny them positions.

 

[Mitchell2]

Sucks; the neo-cons in Maine are probably having a party right now. Of course, I can't imagine how bad it must've been for these guys to quit.

 

[CaptLouAlbano]

Too bad the Progressives in the GOP don't give up so easily.

The revenge you want will be yours in time.

 

[compromise]

These people made an incredibly stupid decision. Luckily, there are still a few other liberty-types in the ME GOP left.

it's a shame how little publicity this got. does kinda seem like a waste

I noticed that no one is even commenting on the stories. No one seems to even care. Than again, Republicans in Maine aren't exactly popular or powerful. It goes unenrolled, Democrat, Republican there

To the average person, a story about 7 committee members resigning is not the least bit interesting.

So "As Maine Goes, So Goes The Nation" doesn't have the same ring to it anymore.

It was just a saying anyway. At least for the last 20 years. Maine is no longer a swing state. Well, it does still swing as 2010 proved but I certainly wouldn't classify it as a swing state. I'd reserve that for states like NV, IA, VA, NH, OH, WI, VW, KY among others.

Might add PA to that list. I read somewhere that they are looking to change to proportional distribution of electoral votes.

I'm disappointed they quit. I think it was selfish and they should have stuck it out.

No problem. I said among others for a reason. But let me list those states again with PA added
