Here at Maine’s state convention, over half the delegates were liberty leaning republicans. Over half.

The old guard,mainstream,myopic party leaders went to great lengths in both words and actions to make them feel as unwelcome as possible.

After the state convention these liberty candidates were ridiculed and vilified by these same republicans at meetings, fundraisers, and in the press.

Think about this. Half the active grassroots delegates were told to go to h*ll.

And we are surprised to find they stayed home on election day ?

I said that Rs in Red states staying home didnt matter, but the same goes for blue states like Maine or my state Maryland that picked a loser as GOP governor candidate, were going O anyway.
Didnt they both just pass gay marriage at the state level?

OH, WI, PA, FL, NM, maybe Rs should have focused on these like O did.

What idiot R in MA would stay home when Liz Warren is running as the Dem?
