Snowe and Collins might be forced to run third party if the Tea Party is well organized in Maine. No matter what, they have to be retired.

Woohoo! Thanks for the ping! First they kicked Bob Bennett out of Utah, now they've written Maine's Republican platform. The Tea Partiers are alive and well.

Good for those Maniacs...er, Mainers. With the Utah Repubs kicking Bennett to the curb things are looking up. Another shot fired over the RINO/Dimrat bow.

OMG, reading that platform made me cry! Definitely a step in the right direction for Maine, and all our States! Let's hope this Platform catches fire at the other State Republican Conventions!

Glad to see the Tea Party is not JUST protests but action.
Demonstrations are well and good but political activity at the grassroots level is indispensable.

From MA, to Utah, to FL to HI, Tea Partiers are ACTING and influencing the future. Nothing’s perfect, but we are doing what is necessary, and what FReepers have been doing and advocating for over a decade!
