Hey, Levin's a hack. You need to get with the program, Derb:

Why would you worry about my level of influence at Free Republic? I’m one individual.

Because you're an obsessive, and that's always cause for (mild) alarm.

That lie was written by sleezy, slimey, lying Roger Stone, tRump’s official butt boy. Anyone who believes a word that comes out of Stone’s mouth is someone who is just as bad as he is.

More like outmaneuver Jeff Roe. He’s been working delegates for Cruz since mid-2014. He knew the process.

Hang on. Levin blasted Trump dementia sufferers (like you) on Thursday, saying anyone who preferred Hillary to Trump (like you) was certifiable.

Then, the next day, he became the senior patient in the asylum. Even higher up the cuckoo tree than you are. All because he was (apparently) dissed by Stone. Which proves my theory that TDS sufferers (like you) are driven by envy of their betters (like Trump.) What's your take on that supposition, Beanie?

Oh how "unAmerican," how "unconservative," and un-Trump! At least according to his sycophants!

We who have worked in our communities for decades or just years, who have helped out by walking our neighborhoods to encourage our neighbors to vote for the most conservative pro/life candidate we can help get elected, say in the dog days of summer (high 90s, humidity 69%) before the August primaries.

Yeah, we knew some distant day, decades later, some guy from NY would decide he wanted to be President and if we don't quite love him like others do, we're "sellouts," "scum," "slimebags," dupes & "stooges for Goldman Sachs!"

I gotta love it and am laughing so hard it hurts.

Where are all these people when I'm looking for help trying to get my fellow Americans registered to vote, or when we're delivering and installing yard signs for widows in the rain, heat, swatting mosquitos to help elect someone we desire elected to our State House!

Am I unimpressed by Trumpsters here on FR tossing their weight and surly mouths around - you betcha! ,

Just like the Donald himself, his supporters don’t actually want to do the work it takes to get elected. The Donald sits on twitter whining and compaining and his supporters sit at their computers and whine and complain. Anything else would involve work and that’s for other people.

You'be nailed it!

Let some other slob do the real work, "then we can accuse them of secretly being tied to Wall Street and Citibank!"

What's really tough is when some of the same folk have asked me to pray for their family members and loved ones, I'm the first to step up - but now, because I don't happen to support their choice, I'm to be vilified, maligned and despised!

I sure hope you're one of them.

Cruz people called me to weed me out as a delegate. They are planning to fill Trump slots with Cruz people to thwart the will of the people. I wouldn’t be surprised if they change the first vote rule, since there will only be Cruz people. I’m beginning to wonder why the GOP even held primaries. Looks like it was for show only.

The Cruz people are so happy with their candidate’s blatant steal. If this is GOP politics, I’m leaving. I thought my vote counted.

I was a poll official this year. Spent over 13 hours at the poll on election day. All those people waited in line, some for hours and now the GOP plans to tell us who they will vote for. What a joke on the American people.


Excellent post, FR_Addict. Bears reposting.

First, thanks for volunteering your time, as a poll official.

Second, thanks for exposing what these dirty GOPe tricks are and what will happen, if We the People are disenfranchised by the DC/establishment apparatus. You’ve stated my sentiments, exactly.

For the cRuz campaign to even think about finagling delegates AND for the GOPe to even think about only selecting their own *establishment* hacks as delegates is proof that the establishment could care less about our votes. And, yes....I’ve purposely included cRuz as part of the GOPe.

If one was going to be a Delegate...should have been planning and organizing (and running) for it 2+ years ago...

Never mentioned in all the "delegates" discussions is the personal co$t to be a delegate.

You pay your own expenses, travel to and fro the convention city, plus hotel, meals, transportation, etc. for the duration of the event.

Many, many years ago I toyed with the idea of running for delegate on the Republican ballot in my district, but at that younger stage of my life the cost was prohibitive to do so.

That's why so many delegates to national party conventions are long-entrenched, moneyed party nabobs plus countless state/local elected officeholders...most of whom, when voting at the convention itself, are loyal to the party-e that (in the words of the late Mayor Daley) brung 'em there.

Maybe PAC $$ can *offset* some of the exposes involved in being a delegate?
