Former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld, a Republican, endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for president on Friday

[AmericanMade1776]

William Weld... you are an idiot. Joining the ranks of Scott McClellen. What a dope! Now I am Glad Jesse Helms kept you from that little ambassadorship to Mexico...Jesse was right about you.. Creep!

[AmericanMade1776]

One more thing Weld, when McCain and Palin wins you will not get invited to the White House. MORON.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Another wretched RINO stabbing his party in the back...

[TommyDale]

What a surprise...

[ilgipper]

jeez.

At least we can clear some dead wood after this election cycle. It is time to dump the big tent and go back to Reagan’s conservative message. It wins, and wins big.

[RexBeach]

William Weld...tower of jello.

Oh well. We’ll see what happens soon enough.

[Reagan79]

Jesse Helms was right once again.

[Harry Wurzbach]

Ugh. I mean, ugh. At one point in the 90s it looked like Weld might actually help move libertarianism forward in the GOP.

Instead, he’s just another New England RINO who’s left of many Texas Democrats.

[Perdogg]

He was telling everyone in 2004 that John Kerry was a strong closer.

The only surprise is why is the MSM from Kansas City the ones who are reporting this info?

[ladyjane]

McCain has made A LOT of enemies. He has screwed over a lot of Republicans. The chickens are coming home to roost.

BTW - Weld is a good friend of Mitt Romney.

[DB]

Just a moron that wants to show the world that he's not a racist... How enlightened he is and all... Screw the country...

[Tarpon]

I know Weld, and he isn’t no conservative.

More apt description, Socialist Republican.

[AmericanMade1776]

Weld resigned the governorship after being appointed United States Ambassador to Mexico by President Bill Clinton. He was never confirmed by the United States Senate, however, and hence never served as Ambassador. This was due mainly to opposition from Senate Foreign Relations committee chairman Jesse Helms, who refused to hold talks on the nomination, effectively blocking it. Though both were Republicans and though that party held the majority in the chamber, Helms objected to Weld’s moderate stance on several social issues. This refusal to hold hearings was also rumored to be at the request of former attorney general and friend of Helms, Ed Meese. Meese had a long standing grudge against Weld stemming from Weld’s investigation of Meese during Iran Contra.

I've always thought of this guy as a putz anyway.  Not that big of a surprise really.

[webschooner]

A Taxachusetts “republican” endorses OBamBam — What a shock!

[littlehouse36]

WWWWD?

(What would William Weld do?)

[AmericanMade1776]

Weld also helped President Bush run against John Kerry in 2004... it seems John Kerry was a foe of Weld.

Weld never ceases to disappoint
