Republicans totally screwing Ron Paul

[Riot]

Today's interesting developments at the convention:

The convention - well, the big wings in the party - secretly changed delegate rules on their own in order to screw Ron Paul delegations -made it so Mittens could just ignore and replace them.

Delegate microphones who attempt to speak for Ron Paul being cut off.

State delegations with large number of Ron Paul delegates being seated up on nosebleed seats, away from TV cameras and floor action.

Yep all confirmed.

Quite frankly I'm rooting for Obama over Romney.

The real difference between the two is Obama can't create jobs. Romney just takes them.

yeah, i don't agree with those who say romney would be an improvement over obama. i think he'd be worse.

He would be far worse. I challenge the sheepublicans on here to prove otherwise.

Consider the fact that Romney wanted to proofread and make corrections to Ron Paul's convention speech. And they offered Monday...the day the cowards cancelled two days prior because of the storm.

The party of chicken hawks who are scared of a tropical storm.

This is the Koch Brothers convention.

This is what you're supporting. This is to show that both sides have people with questionable family.

So explain to me how the Koch puppet will be any better than our current President?

I'd really like to see some of you defend this charade run by descendants of Nazis.

I've always been a republican, but I can't see myself voting for this Romney, but I'm certainly no fan of Obama either. Romney supports the rich and Obama knowing he can't touch the rich couldn't care about the middle class. I think I'll write in a circus clown.

[Danzig]

yeah, obama isn't much...but when you consider that romney wants to
remove what regs were put back on banks (who are the primary cause of our economic problems)
grow defense, which is already too damned bloated
cut taxes on the wealthy even more (when they are paying less than ever, and the jobs aren't being created-that theory just sucks)
roll back women's rights
it's hard to find something to support. exactly what reason could there be (and the only thing i hear from those agin' obama is he's not obama) to vote for him? from what i've heard, the ones who are going to vote for him are doing so only because it's not a vote for our current 'leader'.

Maine Ron Paul delegation walk out of convention.

RNC refuses to announce Ron Paul delegate vote totals from stage.

RNC totally cheats on it's own rules to screw Ron Paul.

Ron Paul delegate from Main announces they may form a third party, "Republican party is totally corrupt".

What rules did the GOP endorse that takes away states rights?

well, for one, they want a constitutional amendment to ban all gay marriages. i wonder what the states who have passed gay marriage laws would think about that?

Gary Johnson petitioned the Democratic and Republican committees to be able to get involved in the debates. We all know that this isn't going to happen after both committees stifled Perot from being involved in the '97 debates.

I'm getting tired of both sides scaring people that a non-vote of either party is a waste of a vote and a vote for the opposition of either party.

Republitards praising the censorship of Ron Paul:

If Romney had an ounce of class, he'd publicly apologize and offer Paul an opportunity to speak. Like that would ever happen, but I guess it's nice to dream.



Meanwhile, locally we have to pay for a task force to shut down all of the prostitutes that have shown up here in advance of the hypocritical blowhards arriving:

I wonder how many of them will be against their knocked up hooker getting an abortion?





Good luck with this country.

That's a bit of a reach since the amendment must be approved by three-fourths of the states with no time limit (last one only took 200+ years)

I didn't see any other ones that came even remotely close to limiting states rights.

A good percentage of them won't get knocked up... Just not possible.

This is a massive power consolidation by the elite of the Republican Party, within the remaining structure of the party, with reaches far beyond just removing Ron Paul now and Rand in the future.

They've successfully kicked out the influence and moderation of the state parties and the delegates, and changed it so the top can make all the rules for the national party, and change those rules outside of the organization (Republican National Committee)

The GOP elite just circumvented their own rules, and eliminated the states and delegates from having any influence on the rules of the national party.
.
The GOP is hardly a "party" any more. It's owned by just a few at the top now. Mitt is just their lackey.

Consider this: the national Republican Party members now have zero input, moderation or control from "states" and "voting" regarding how the party is run, who the candidate is, delegate input, etc; and Citizens United consolidated the ability of money to purchase government in this country.

Why do you think the Republican Party Platform is 100% crazy Tea Party extremism? It doesn't matter. It's only there to get the "base "to vote for the chosen elite candidate.

BTW - anybody remember who won the GOP Iowa delegates caucuses? Announced in the press as "Mitt Romney wins Iowa", right?

Until weeks later, when it was suddenly announced that a "recount" indicated Rick Santorum "won" Iowa? (too late for Santorum to get a surge from that win, btw, Romney was already on a roll).

Turns out Ron Paul, working Iowa caucuses as it should be, actually won the most: 22 Iowa delegates.

Ron Paul won the GOP primary contest in Iowa.

PS Paul supporters still begging him to run as third-party candidate this election. We'll see.

You know, if one got 100% of their political coverage from The Onion, you wouldn't be all that uninformed ...

the two parties have fought against others being included for years. they don't want a third to fight against.

that was just off the top of my head.

thing is, what they want, and what they get, are two different things. they all preach about rights, while trying to take them away, and put as much power in the fed as possible.
just like romney and the gop are supposed to be small govt-but their actions continually prove otherwise.

The conservatards are in full bully mode and Ron Paul isn't the sole recipient of it.

A black CNN camerawoman was degraded by two jerk offs who threw some type of nuts at her and said, "This is what we feed the animals."

Un-f.ucking-believable.
