I will be leaving in the morning for Ft. Worth. I am a delegate and my wife an alternate for the Convention.

The last time I went was when Gov. Perry ran for office for the first time on his own.

I am going this time with the fire in my belly and anger over how this has been played by GOPe.

Whatever it takes to defeat Obozo, but there is a price that will be extracted against the “leadership” in DC. I warned them months ago not to think that the grass roots is not watching their antics. Their behavior warrants punishment.

I saw no precinct meeting notice at the election site on the 29th. The precinct convention meeting got right past me, I’m ashamed to confess! Delegates for county conventions were selected there.

Guess the county conventions were scheduled shortly thereafter, given the late election, wherein the delegates for state convention are selected.

The RINOS will be prepared to take all the heat they get as long as in the end, delegates do as they’re told and vote for the socialist at the top of the Republican ticket.

This way they know they don’t have to change their tactics, so long as we keep complying, in exchange for them taking a little griping.

DrewsMom(alternate) and I(delegate) are in the same situation.

At my first convention, the battle was between the MOD squad and Conservatives. This convention will likely have another challenge from the Ron Paul faction that views everyone else as the enemy instead of working with those delegates who agree with them on 90% of the issues to push for more limited government and like-minded candidates.

The Cruz vs. Dewhurst race will likely play a big part. It looks like they gave Dewhurst a prominent speaking slot in the 1st Friday Session right after KBH and Cornyn. Coincidence? I might be a little late for that as well as the Combs/Straus session later that day.

I love that downtown area in Fort Worth with all the restaurants and shops.

Lots of atmosphere and outdoor dining.
