Which Way for Thee, My GOP? MN GOP rejects RP Newcomers
johnadamsblog.blogspot.com — Ron Carey and the MN Republican Party actively attempt to keep out the fresh and badly-needed energy of the Ron Paul Republicans. Will the GOP go the way of the Whigs as it rejects new blood just when it so desperately needs it?

Don't hate.... Educate :)- keithgplayer, on 03/13/2008, -2/+12Educating is a good thing for people who listen, but Bingo there...is the definition of troll.
- Hortnon, on 03/13/2008, -8/+10The Constitution is one of the most important things in existence.
Ron Paul's interpretation of the Constitution is sickening and disgusting. I have hope for America simply because voters overwhelmingly rejected Ron Paul and his hate.- juankovo, on 03/13/2008, -3/+8What exactly do you disagree with in Ron Paul's interpretation of the Constitution? That it should be followed?
- Hortnon, on 03/13/2008, -5/+7I think that homosexuals, women, and minorities deserve the same rights I enjoy. That's where I disagree with Ron Paul's interpretation.
- juankovo, on 03/13/2008, -3/+7Hortnon, you are clearly and completely misunderstanding Ron Paul's positions. He believes that *****- and heterosexuals should receive EXACTLY the same benefits and rights from the government (ABSOLUTELY NONE), that men and women should receive EXACTLY the same benefits and rights from the government (again, none), and that minorities and non-minorities should receive EXACTLY the same benefits and rights from the government (again, none). There are no GROUP RIGHTS granted by the Constitution and Bill of Rights, only INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS. Ron Paul is one of very few politicians to understand this.
- Hortnon, on 03/13/2008, -5/+7And yet, he submitted the "We the People Act", that can have no other intent other than to restrict rights and force Christianity on others.
- Bilabrin, on 03/13/2008, -2/+4@hortnon
You are so ***** ignorant it hurts. Read what ron paul has said about collectivism. Furthermore, read the "We the People Act" and show me wher it tries to force christianity on others. People like you are the problem. A man cannot be christian without having to be some kind of foaming at t he mouth evangelical biggot to you. Stop being a black and white thinker. I know it's easier than realizing how subtle and complex the world is when you investigate details but you owe it to those who you hurt with your political choices! - Hortnon, on 03/13/2008, -4/+5I know tons of Christians that I have no problem with. But it's the idiots like Paul who believe in no Separation Between Church and State, that there is a war on Christmas that make the rest look bad.
You need to understand one thing about the "We the People Act". It doesn't protect any rights. It does nothing but legally allow rights to be restricted.
I don't give a ***** what he says in his speeches to his cult. It's what he's done in Congress that matters. And what's he done? Submitted a bunch of laws that contradict his speeches, that never get passed because the rest of Congress realizes how evil Paul truly is. - Bilabrin, on 03/13/2008, -2/+3@Horton "And what's he done? Submitted a bunch of laws that contradict his speeches."
WRONG! You, franky, do not know what the ***** you are talking about. If you did you would've found a shred of evidence to support your claim. You didn't and you won't. End of story.
You've been force fed the kool-aid and you came back for more because you were too stupid to check what was in it. So before you respond to this comment. Take a moment and LOOK for one link or quote to back up- your astonishingly ignorant claims.
The constitution states "Congress shall make no law!" So just because Ron Paul does not support the right to ban religion in certain places does not mean he is pro-religous dogma/propaganda.I'm a hardcore lifelong evangelical-hating athiest and I am behind Ron Paul 1000%. Why would an athiest support someone who wants to push religoin on others.
Pull your head out of your ass and stop aping trolls! Do your OWN RESEARCH and find one peice of evidence to suppot your troll assertions before you pop off next time! - Hortnon, on 03/13/2008, -3/+5What's the Sanctity of Life Act, then, if not a contradiction of his stated position?
Why did he support the Defense of Marriage Act, if he believes homosexuals should have the same right?
Let's not forget the newsletters, of course...
Look, one of us doesn't know Ron Paul's positions here. And I 100% guarantee you that person isn't me... - Bilabrin, on 03/13/2008, -1/+4As far as the defense of marriage act I'm going to lead by example. Below is what we call in the internet world a "link" http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul207.html
Here is a "quote"
"Because of the dangers to liberty and traditional values posed by the unexpected consequences of amending the Constitution to strip power from the states and the people and further empower Washington, I cannot in good conscience support the marriage amendment to the United States Constitution. Instead, I plan to continue working to enact the Marriage Protection Act and protect each state’s right not to be forced to recognize a same sex marriage."
As you can see, while Ron may be personally against gay marriage he recognizes that the States should have the power to define marraige as they see fit and NOT have the federal government delare a blanket ruling either way. This means that some states which do recognize gay marrige would not be forced to bend to the will of the federal government. Same for abortion rights.
You see it isn't as black and white as you wanna try and make it. Ron's not trying to strip rights from anyone. The newsletters were not infact racist just politically correct and the head of the NAACP in Austin claims the newsletter stories are a smear and that "Ron Paul is no racist" Here's my "link" backing that up:
http://saintluke.wordpress.com/2008/01/14/naacp-su ...
Think deeper than your red/blue programming and realize that intellegent people side with Ron Paul. He is the only non-oppressor running. - Bilabrin, on 03/13/2008, -2/+2Oh, and lest I forget to adress the Sanctity of life Act. YEAH, I consider it extremely oppresive for a person to be chopped up and sucked out of a uterus through a tube. Fetuses are people and if you believe that there's some magical barrier at the vagina which endows humanity to a fetus than your as ***** up as the evangelicals. Deal with Your "hate."
- Hortnon, on 03/13/2008, -2/+2First of all, I assumed you had done your research into Paul already, so didn't provide the links. Regardless, I find your anger hilarious.
We're back to the "We the People Act". He knows that leaving Federal Courts out of issues will result in laws like Texas' requirement that you believe in God to hold office. This is ok for you? I find it offensive at best, evil and anti-American at worst.
The argument that the NAACP Austin head backs Paul on the newsletters is the same argument as saying, "I'm not racist, look, I have a black friend!" It means nothing. I mean, did you actually read the newsletters?
"This means that some states which do recognize gay marrige would not be forced to bend to the will of the federal government. Same for abortion rights. "
And this is where you completely missed the contradiction. Paul claims it should be left up to the states, yet submitted the Sanctity of Life Act. Please explain this with "sarcasm" and "arrogance" so I can better understand it.
The claim that intelligent people support Ron Paul is *****. You just called 95% of America stupid.
On abortion, it's clear you don't understand the issues and laws surroundine the issue. I suggest you look up the trimester system for starters to rid yourself of the ignorance presented in your second comment. - Bilabrin, on 03/14/2008, -0/+2Regarding the "We the people" Act. First and foremost It's about empowering people at a local level. Yes, unfortuately some states will pass oppressive laws. Some will pass very liberal laws. Everyone gets more power in a decentralized system. The United States is just that - A colletuion of states. Remeber the "labrotories of democracy" sentiment from history class? No, I wouldn't apprecieate it if Texas passed a law like that but I REALLY wouldn't like the law if it was federal.
The newsletter was unfortunate but yes, I have read it and it is not politically correct but also not racist. Ron Paul is not a racist. Have you heard him speak about the injustices of the drug laws and how blacks are disproportionally targeted by the justice system? Furthermore, I find it amusing that people assume that a man serving simultaniously as a Doctor AND a congressman couldn't possably have not been aware of the content. This is a political football and a smear. The newsletter issue is over. And yes, when the head of the NAACP says someone they have known for 20 years is not a racist, That's good enough for me. I would consider him an "expert witness" in this matter. You don't think the NAACP head in Texas, of all states, knows who the racists are? Really..?
Yes. 95% of America is stupid and I say that without hesitation. Morons abound....SURPRISE!
I Don't buy the arguments that human rights are only for those who have existed for at least 6 months. That's ***** arbitrary and you damn well know it. Human life begins at conception. To deny that is really to dwell in denial. Be intellectually honest with yourself and try to tell yourself that that is not a human being, A human lifeforce. Somehow, athiest I may be, I feel there is something special, unique and, yes, sacred about a human life. I just don't buy the argument that it's somehow okay to snuff out the flame of life because it happens to be inside someone else who has other plans. Pregnancy doesn't happen by accident. Why should an innocent pay for someone elses poor choices with their right to even exist? Cases of rape you say? Okay, that's a little different but, still, an innocent is involved and there's always adoption.
If I remember correctly the John Locke social contract theory calls for protection of the citizens by the government. Even so, Ron Paul understands the importance of this not being a federal issue. He wants to protect life but overall understands that states must still be "labrotories of democracy." In the end, those states who pass bad laws will suffer from emmigration. It's free markets at the state law level. Open up competition and prosperity thrives. Ron Paul's objection to a federal law mandating that all states recognize homosexual mariage is the same objection to a bill banning gay marriage in all states. Ron Paul's objection to a federal law allowing abortion in all states is the same objecion to a federal law banning abortion in all states. Get it now. Ron paul is not so 2-dimentional as you claim and he has the wisdom to know that there is not 1 right answer for everyone. So, maybe Texas passes the law about believing in god and maybe Oregon states that you cannot have served as any high lever church officer to take office. People who are uncomfortable with texas could move to Oregon and vice-versa. That's a win-win scenario. Not everyone can afford to up and move? good point, so they can work for change from within their own state. I'm not so convinced that would pass in Texas anyway. Bottom line is that the Federal government has overstepped it's bounds and is no longer constitutionally correct.
- Bilabrin, on 03/13/2008, -2/+4Pepole who live in fantasy worlds are often sickened and disgusted when a literal interpretation is presented to them.
- Hortnon, on 03/13/2008, -3/+1So you hate the judicial branch, then? How...Ron Paul of you.
- Bilabrin, on 03/14/2008, -0/+3I think Jackson got it wrong on nullification. We've given up our power to the central goverment which is inefficient and it has an inefficient checks and balances system which cannot adress loopholes sufficiently. So now we have the "iron triangle" or Military/Industrial complex. Decentralized power would be more effective at adressing inefficiencies and the unbalance of power.
- juankovo, on 03/14/2008, -0/+3Further, decentralized power would mean that we would have 50 experiments running on how best to deal with each issue. Different states would pass different laws on things. Over time, states could learn from each other to see what works best and what should be dropped. Once a federal law goes into effect, it is very hard to get it significantly changed unless it's outrageously bad.
- juankovo, on 03/13/2008, -3/+8What exactly do you disagree with in Ron Paul's interpretation of the Constitution? That it should be followed?
- DaveKnowsTalent, on 03/12/2008, -8/+16safe to say bingo is either union, "in bed" with the CFR "web" or is incredibly naive to the Real World.... not the one most all Ron Paul supporters see!
- DaveKnowsTalent, on 03/12/2008, -8/+21Opps, I meant naive to the real world us Ron Paul supporters do see..... Their the world the media creates for you and then there's the real world the media tries to hide from us.... big difference!
- reed311, on 03/13/2008, -8/+9Yeah, remember when the media created those "scientific polls" that showed Ron at 5%... and then Ron actually got 5% in the primaries?
You guys should win an award for patting yourselves on the back. You are so full of yourselves, it's pathetic.- Bilabrin, on 03/13/2008, -2/+5I remember him polling at 3% in Iowa and garnering 10% at the ballot box. And yes, when you're right it gives you the right to be self-righeous. I hope that it does hurt to be wrong and ignorant. That's how it should be. The fact that ron Paul only got 5% in the voting is a scathing indictment of the intellectual and moral charachter of this country and we will be regretting and paying for that sin for years and years to come. America as we know it may cease to exist because we were too foolish, ignorant and/or lazy to take the burden of responsability that our forefathers charged us with. They gave us and the world a great gift in America and we are blowing it!

- Hortnon, on 03/13/2008, -6/+7I'm sure 100% of your posts have 100% correct spelling, right?
- ssn697, on 03/13/2008, -4/+10The post he uses above has four spelling and grammar errors (and I am not counting the "on purpose" errors). I hope the dude is a better welder than speller. I think he chose well on his profession. Something calling for heavy comprehension skills? Not so good...
- Hortnon, on 03/13/2008, -6/+7I'm sure 100% of your posts have 100% correct spelling, right?
- bratpack8, on 03/13/2008, -0/+2Considering the GOP got swept out of office in 2006 and are about to lose in what will be the biggest route in Presidential election history, perhaps we should be happy that 'you' don't want us.

- almonds646, on 09/11/2008, -7/+25I wish people would stop affiliating themselves with the Republicans altogether. Their tactics this election cycle have been shameful (though typical for them). I read stories like this everyday. They don't deserve to win another election - ever again.
Join the Constitution or Libertarian parties.- SoyJames, on 03/13/2008, -3/+21Amen to that. The only reason I have that R on my voter reg is because of Ron Paul. After the primary you can be sure I'm changing to back to independent. If the Republican party wants to commit suicide that wouldn't bother me.
- PeppermintPig, on 03/13/2008, -3/+17The vast majority of the GOP is not even 'Republican' in nature. Furthermore, many 'conservatives' are prohibitionists of one sort or another. For those of you who are, there is an aptly named party for you. :P
And the politicians of the party are virtually all RINO's. Specifically, Neo-Conservatives. Even when party bigshots try to distance themselves from McCain (the neoconservative stooge), the alternatives like Huckabee (graft-savvy neoconservative) are still both neocons. - Allegiance, on 03/13/2008, -1/+13I like both the Constitution and Libertarian parties. In fact, I've voted one or the other for years. I knew they couldn't win in our 2 party system, but I voted my conscience and principles. RP stands for everything I believe in, and being in one of the 2 'main' parties, I thought he actually had a chance. Silly me, didn't realize the GOP has completely forgotten who they are. After this election, I'm voting C or L from now on.
- Hortnon, on 03/13/2008, -8/+4Yes, join those parties. Especially if you want a theocracy filled with selfish assholes.
- janeuner, on 03/13/2008, -1/+3This is clearly worse than an oligarchy filled with selfish assholes.
/Not really disagreeing...just considering the tradeoffs. - Bilabrin, on 03/13/2008, -0/+3Libertarians are less of an ***** than you are. You want to send men with guns to my house to take money from me against my will. You don't care if those men beat or imprison me or if what you're doing is right because you have a self-righeous "greater good" rationalization that allows you to ignore the fact that the ends DO NOT justify the means.
How dare I want to be left alone to the fruits of my own labor without being forced at gunpoint or the threat of imprisonment to give them up without even being asked!
I'd rather be a "selfish *****" than a morally bankrupt tyrannical deluded hypocrictical demagogue who believes it's right to rob a man who works hard and take away his dignity just because someone else has a need and don't feel that these poor helpless pathetic souls should have to sacrifice ther dignity by asking or begging.
People like you truly disgust me.
- janeuner, on 03/13/2008, -1/+3This is clearly worse than an oligarchy filled with selfish assholes.
- JigoroKano, on 03/13/2008, -2/+6The Constitution Party? They want to rewrite the law based upon their interpretation of the Christian bible. They want theocracy. They want to outlaw pornography!
How can you guys even mention the Constitution party in the same sentence with the Libertarian party? The Constitution party is the ultimate, government in your bedroom and in your buisness party.
This is the conservative dilemma. Almost all conservatives agree that the Republican party sucks, but there is absolutely no agreement as to what it should be.- jcm267, on 03/13/2008, -1/+4I think we need to dump the Huckabee wing of the party, or at least moderate its influence. I guess they're needed to win the South, but the party is slowly losing the West and Midwest partly because of them
- inobla, on 03/13/2008, -0/+5The Huckabee wing just needs to be it's own party all together. Named something appropriate like the MyChurch = YourState party.

- HewhoKicksBear, on 03/13/2008, -2/+19How can you blame them? Ron Paul represents a return to the ideals of the Republic. A reduction in the role / power of the parties and Government. If the present state of afairs could stand on its own merit they would not need to resort to rogery.
If their favorite did not resemble this: ""...A Prince, whose Character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the Ruler of a free People...." - The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America" they would be able to let him stand on his own legs.

.".. Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions – everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses"

“It was an insidious process, conducted with the care of the cat that stalks her prey – now creeping forward, now pausing to sniff the air; now advancing, now lying still as the bird takes alarm; then edging forward again, and so, step by inexorable step, moving to the ultimate seizure.” James J. Kilpatrick, in The Sovereign States: Notes of a Citizen of Virginia, describing the Supreme Court’s illegitimate expansion of power under the guise of the Constitution’s interstate commerce clause, p. 235.
"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. ~Frederic Bastiat, The Law
For Liberty - Allegiance, on 03/13/2008, -1/+13At least at my MN BPOU convention, this didn't seem to be the case. (Although the delegate count for state did take days, and we didn't receive a delegate list.) One of the head guys at the convention gave a tip of the hat to RP supporters for generating interest in the GOP again, and has a blog where he said 'we should welcome them into the party.' If this is the kind of crap the rest of the MNGOP wants to dish out, I'll be voting Libertarian or Constitution parties after this election. In fact, aside from RP, that's how I'm voting this election.

- DigitalBob, on 03/13/2008, -1/+7You have two parties to choose from if you want to get involved: "incumbent" or "opponent". Democrat and Republican are just tax id labels. If you like the guy in office, vote for him, or you're against him. Don't sweat it--they don't. There are no breadcrumbs for third place. Just stay true to your principles. Given time, you will be right. Or irrelevant.
- john2kdiggs, on 03/13/2008, -1/+10What the Ron Paul supporters in MN ought to do is get very well organized outside of the party and make plans to take it over.

- thomoore, on 03/13/2008, -2/+6Mr. Paul is being ignored by the media because he would be death on business as usual. http://www.scragged.com/articles/congress-and-camp ... explains how Pelosi's democrats are stealing our money by earmarking money to their friends and getting some of it back as "campaign contributions." Mr. Paul would shut down their money machine, no wonder they don't like him. Come next election, you should just vote against ANY incumbent. http://www.scragged.com/articles/dont-just-say-no- ...
- johngr, on 03/13/2008, -1/+10The "party of Lincoln" have been Trotskyite Red bastards from day one. Taft, Goldwater and Ron Paul are anomalies. Conservatives need their own party.

- dupswapdrop, on 03/13/2008, -2/+2Stop the madness don't vote for republicans!
- madfrogurt, on 03/13/2008, -3/+3Why are you all surprised that every RP supporter isn't accepted with open arms by the republicans? You're followers of an anti-war, anti-centralized power, anti-spending candidate. No matter how much historically that would have helped him, nowadays it makes him look like a democrat. Either join the libertarian party or get used to being shunned by your party.
- juankovo, on 03/13/2008, -1/+6Since when are the democrats anti-centralized and anti-spending?
- madfrogurt, on 03/13/2008, -4/+2Since about 9/12/01. I know they aren't the bastions of limiting spending, but they have been the only resistance against wire taping, torture, political apointments to the judicial under the executive's direction, and presidential signing orders. They also opposed the largest current government program (other than medicare and social security): the Iraq war. Those are all pretty strong examples of anti-centralization and anti-spending.
I just wish they played this role with a little more strength. - BohicaTwentyTwo, on 03/13/2008, -2/+3Anti-spending except for gulf shrimp subsidies.
- ssn697, on 03/13/2008, -2/+2I do love me some Gulf Shrimp!
- ncurses, on 03/13/2008, -2/+1anti-war except for darfur genocide subsidies
- BohicaTwentyTwo, on 03/13/2008, -3/+3Ron Paul Republican = Ron Paul Democrat
Both titles are equally meaningless.- vbullinger, on 03/25/2008, -0/+1BohicaTwentyTwo = troll
- bratpack8, on 03/13/2008, -0/+2Whigs didn't go away, Lincoln was a Whig who just happened to call himself a Republican. And low and behold, what we have in America today is basically the Whig Party in control!
- MarkEarhart, on 03/14/2008, -1/+2I am so thoroughly disgusted with the selection of candidates for the upcoming Presidential election that if there were no place for me to write in Ron Paul's name I would simply leave the space blank.
- juankovo, on 03/14/2008, -0/+3Just bring a Sharpie along and write RON PAUL across the entire ballot. If you're lucky enough to live in a state that has the good sense to use paper ballots, that is.

- hoffbug, on 06/01/2008, -0/+0Just back from the MN GOP convention .... WOW....Just Wow..
From the 20 foot high communist red banners on either side of the stage with the Central committee pre approved slate. to the Red capped McCain paddle prodders with their Yes and No paddles telling the sheeple how to vote the party line, blocking microphones, and pushing around delegates!!
it was quite an experience!
Ron Carey again has shown his utter lack of leadership..and stewardship of the grassroots process that was the MN GOP!
From his EARLY endorsement of Mike Huckabee to his mismanagement of MN GOP party funds.. I really think he should step down after his term is up!
