MNGOP’s Team Chaos Set To Disgrace Us All
The Queen B of the Ron Paul infestation is quoted in the Morning Take on their plans to embarrass Minnesota’s Republican Party on behalf of Ron Paul and the Libertarians who will never lift a finger to help and would actually prefer to defeat Republicans……
Instead, 32 of the state’s 40 nominating votes will be cast for Ron Paul during the roll call of states, according to Marianne Stebbins—chair of the delegation. Stebbins lives in Excelsior and was elected by Minnesota’s contingent of 77 total delegates, 37 of which are alternates, as chair earlier this year. While conceding Romney would capture the GOP endorsement for U.S. President, Stebbins said her state’s delegates are “overwhelmingly Ron Paul supporters” and made clear they would vote accordingly. QUOTE: “I don’t think Mitt Romney is a strong candidate,” she said. “He represents old ideas and what the party has stood for over the last couple of decades, which is not necessarily what the voters want.”
Pop quiz: Who has run for President for 30 years and never won a single state primary?
In other words, Minnesota’s devoted Ron Paul disciples will vote against the guy trying to install Marxism in America.
And you wonder why I can’t go easy on Kurt Bills. These morons gave us Bills.
The RNC maps probably only have 49 states on them because Minnesota is a laughing stock.










It is wrong to say they won’t lift a finger.
Some lift an entire hand …

… To beat on their wife.
Good to know this is what is representing John Kline in Tampa.
Did you seriously think that they would not cast their votes for Ron Paul? That was the whole idea!
If you feel embarrassed it is your own feeling. I for one will be proud. Especially after Governor Pawlenty did not announce my vote and the votes of 5 other in 2008 for Ron Paul after promising to do so. The result was my vote was not counted and many people who worked very hard for that vote to be counted were disenfranchised in 2008.
Did you feel embarrassed or proud at that moment?

Does it really matter if your vote was not “counted” if it didn’t matter to the result? I still don’t understand the point of voting for a guy who won’t be nominated, let alone be elected President. I don’t care how hard anybody “worked” to “get you there” if the vast majority disagrees with you. You don’t get graded on “effort” in the Party; winning is what matters.
Kris,
It’s weak that TPaw didn’t announce your vote in ’08. However, since this is 2012 and we are trying to beat Obama, let’s turn to the topic at hand.
Ron Paul is a 77 year old man who has been running for office (House/Senate/Presidency) for decades without ever getting close to winning the Republican presidential nomination. I would say Ron Paul has proven beyond a doubt that “….He represents old ideas and what the party has stood for over the last couple of decades, which is not necessarily what the voters want.” If you’ve run for prez as many times as he has and you haven’t been close, I think you can say pretty clearly that his views are not what the voters want.
Sorry man, primary is over and hopefully we can come together and beat Obama. I do hope MN isn’t embarrassed at the convention and used as a tool by the media.
Perhaps Rand will have a better chance next time around!
Candidates are not responsible for the morons who vote for them. Morons are responsible for the candidates they voted for. Just because morons elected those like themselves to be our delegates doesn’t mean they need to make fools of themselves and the whole state of Minnesota, but apparently they will. OTOH, it doesn’t mean that Kurt Bills isn’t a great candidate, vastly better than Amy Klobuchar, either.
For me the real test will be what these folks do after they have made their futile gesture, when Mitt Romney gains the nomination before the first round of balloting is even completed. Will they stand up and cheer the “eventual nominee” as they promised when they were elected, or will they do something moronic? I guarantee if they do, the MSM will have every camera focused on them.
The primaries are over. Our party has a nominee for President.
Anyone with a brain understands that there is only one person who can remove Obama from the White House. If you want to get rid of Obama, you must support Romney.
Romney may not be your first choice for President. He wasn’t even my fifth choice. Ok … enough! Get over it.
This will be a big test for our party’s U.S. Senate candidate. Will Kurt Bills actually vote against our party’s nominee for President? Time will tell.
I don’t know if anyone noticed but the primaries are over. Our party has a nominee for President.

I don’t think you can fault the delegates for voting for their guy. That is the basis of how they were elected, and Paul is still a candidate for endorsement at the RNC. They obviously don’t have enough votes to win, but there is nothing wrong with registering your vote for someone else in order to send a message to the winner that he/she needs to pay attention to your point of view.
I do however take issue with the quotes in the article-why bash the candidate you don’t like, rather than explain why you are voting FOR your candidate? It comes across as petty and childish.
Ok – let me ask it this way:
Does anyone remember a time when the Republican Candidate for US Senate actively campaigned/voted AGAINST the party’s nominee for President?
I don’t remember it ever happening.
No, I don’t remember such a thing. Are you suggesting that such a thing has or will occur?
I guess we will see at the RNC convention. If Bills votes against our party’s nominee for President, then I think a lot of folks would find that to be a problem.
I don’t remember that ever happening before. Usually our US Senate candidates are loyal to the party.
I think you are missing the point of modern political conventions. No longer is this about debating the issues and selecting a nominee. It is a made-for-TV production intended to show the great unity and enthusiasm of the Party faithful for the nominee, who is already determined. Anybody not playing their part in this little drama is simply harming the nominee’s chances in November; though perhaps not by a lot.
I still don’t think Bills should be at the convention. He should be at the State Fair campaigning.
I am glad Bills is at the convention.
The less time he is in MN, the less damage he can do to the rest of the candidates.
Good point. Didn’t think of it that way.
People should keep in mind a large number of the Ron Paul supporters are not Republicans. They are Libertarians. They don’t support real Republicans and don’t care if real Republicans don’t win. Ask them – they will tell you they are only voting for “principled” candidates, i.e. Ron Paul supporters.
[...] this November who were growing very worried. Why? Because if the top of the ticket in Minnesota believed what the Queen B of the Ron Paul campaign did, then the RNC & Romney campaigns would divert resources away from [...]
…and I thought perhaps I would start to take you seriously again. Carry on…
