Boston Herald: "McCain Wins Bay State Ron Paul Backers"

0 votes

In a last-minute show of unity, Bay State Ron Paul supporters decided to throw their votes behind Sen. John McCain last night.

About a dozen Massachusetts supporters of the Texas Congressman and GOP upstart decided to back McCain only an hour before the delegates began to cast votes for the presidential pick.

“We decided the best course of action was to give a little to get a lot,” said Chris Blanc, a Cambridge resident who supports Paul. “The Massachusetts GOP really wanted to show unanimous support.”

Whether you are a treator or else...

...If expulsed from your state "Taxachussetts", better find another country, As there is no room for people like you in Ron Paul Nation.
Good Luck.

getting screwed alot - without K-Y

What the ###

do they gain? As Lisa said, they are no true Ron Paul supporters, no principles. They could just have abstained if there was so much pressure.

Ah, the lure of that 30

Ah, the lure of that 30 pieces of silver....

Get a lot?

Get alot of what? Bribery and corruption? I'm sure the Massachusetts GOP did want to show unanimous support. I'd love that kind of support for a worthy candidate, let alone a candidate worth the toilet paper that gets flushed down the pipe with all the other turds. We just don't have that candidate now.

Chris Blanc, assuming he was a "legit" Paul supporter (wouldn't surprise me if he was a GOP lackey), should be embarrassed and ashamed of himself, and should pray his dumbass words will never be associated with the true Revolutionaries of his own state, whose opinions of him he would do well to understand and subsequently act upon, preferably by moving the hell out.

For liberty!! *gong*

For Liberty!! *GONG*

I strongly disagree with

I strongly disagree with this decision... this was our right to have our votes counted. It doesn't matter that we wouldn't win.... it's the principle.

What is "the lot" you got by giving a little,

I'd like to ask Chris Blanc, et al...

Cowards and traitors!

You never ever compromise your principals.

"Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost." - John Quincy Adams

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Sam Adams

???? What did he get??? What's the pay-off?

Unlike most Americans, I trust the good sense of the Ron Paul supporters. Any true Ron Paul supporter has my support in any endeavor to free our country and restore the constitution... but very rarely do you deal with snakes and get a good deal... so I'd be interested to know what was the deal?

I Find This Hard To Believe

In God We Trust!

This sounds like propaganda! The Boston Herald is good at that.

If this is true, then Chris Blanc is really Chris Blank!

Better yet he is really Chris Blankity Blank!

" In Thee O Lord do I put my trust " ~ Psalm 31:1~

This is the report from the

This is the report from the Boston Globe.
http://www.boston.com/news/politics/massvoices/2008/09/the_r...

This makes sense to me. While a vote for Dr. Paul was only symbolic, the good will created by this act moves the revolution forward in Mass. I assume Manystrom had a hand in this, to which I say, thanks. We already had a few Ron Paul supporters within the elected government in Massachusetts, this furthers out power within the party.

I would have rather seen Dr. Paul get the votes and the Mass delegation come back with the same goodwill but this action is realistic and good for the long term.

I'll add that the Herald is a neo-con rag (while the Globe is a socialist rag). I'll wait to hear what Manystron says until I make a full opinion but this looks like it could have been a good move.

Neo-Con hit piece...

Like they think we're stupid enough to buy this drivel. Although it might convince the sheeple already out there that we are coming around to the dark side.

Maybe we should take out a full page ad objecting to this report?

This is One Reason We Have a Libertarian Party

So we have a choice for small government on the general election ballot. No deals, no compromises, no giving a little. No way, no how. Vote your conscience and heart.

You get no fans here

I read the following just after I read this post:

I just became a fan of these two OK delegates.

You have to be kidding.

You have to be kidding. That is the most irresponsible action to take. Go F yourself Chris. F-ing coward.

I'm trying to figure out

exactly what it was he thought he was getting?

I think it involves

bending WAY over forward and a whole lot of pain.

Which this traitorous idiot is apparently a sucker for anyway.

NO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O!

I hope the newspaper got this wrong.

I have a hard time believing this

and if it is true, these traitors are NO supporters of Ron Paul or liberty.

Pathetic.

Wow,

I wonder if they got 40 pieces of silver each?
