Texas GOP to call an Emergency SREC Meeting to go back to Winner Take All. Texas has 155 Delegates
Texas Conservative Republican News ^ | 4/5/2012 | David Bellow

Posted on 04/05/2012 2:08:19 PM PDT by TexasConservativeRepublican

Texas Republicans are calling for an Emergency Texas GOP meeting to go to winner take all. Texas is tired of being overlooked and not having a voice in Presidential Races. This might keep Romney from getting 1144 delegates and force a Brokered Convention!

I am in favor of the proportional arrangement. I would even give some thoughtful consideration to changing to winner take all, but not when the “let’s change the rules” comes up during a presidential election year..

If it came up in 2011, or 2009, I wouldn’t have a problem with having a discussion about it, but not this close to the primary.

Next thing you know someone will suggest we have Super Delegates, and a Texas Two Step like the Dem’s had in the 2008 Texas Primary.

Good news. I hope all this nonsense with the bullies trying to get everyone else to drop out before Romney has reached 1144 delegates will get conservatives even more fired up than we already were. Obviously they are very scared that their ObamaClone Romney won’t be able to get to the magic number.

The only “hope” for the GOP, is for an open convention to occurr (I have been told “brokered” is not the correct term). IF the delegates can vote with their heads then hopefully someone other than Romney will be the nominee. I WILL NOT vote for Romney in a general election...So, IMO, getting another candidate, although it still probably won’t be a conservative is what I want.

Now is this Blog accurate. Someone savvy of Texas politics needs to weigh in. However, it would be a joyous moment for me if Santorum were to beat Romney in Texas and get ALL of their votes. It would derail Romney. Then we have a good chance to get a better pick. I would prefer Newt, but I don’t think that probable in an open convention. I don’t think Santorum will win it either. However, I don’t think Romney will win in the open convention scenario. Also, I think Newt or Rick will have a shot at being VP. Question is who would be the person an open convention would pick?

What is the Fuss about?

I know David Bellow and I have been following his Texas GOP info blog for a while now. When he posts an important blog article but is too busy to spread it around the internet that is where I come in an post it up to get the word out while he takes care of other business.

Is that wrong? It is not like David cannot post his article up himself because he can.

He just gets busy so I help hin out and post articles up when he does not have the time. Today he was on the phone with the Texas Tribune and Daily Caller and the Texas GOP. I thought he was not going to have time to get this article up on FR so I did it for him. Would you rather he post the article up himself? He could post the articles up himself if you want. He just gets busy sometimes and cannot do it. Breaking news is not breaking news if David has to wait until much later in the day to post the info.

I don’t understand what the problem is?

It is laughable. Texas should have a say. The race is not over. I am glad the Texas GOP is trying to become a player in the game.

Changing the rules in midstream isn’t right. We opposed it when Romney and the VAGOP did it in Virginia when they changed the requirements to get on the ballot after all the candidates submissions were sent in.

To support such a thing makes us no better than Romney or Obama.

But then, I had no illusions about Santorum. This is just the sort of hypocrisy I’d expect. All in the name of the Lord, of course.

I am reading about changes to both Dem and Rep state party leadership here and there. Something is up.

Romney steal delegates like 0bama in 2008? What, who fills the role of “we who are about to die salute you”?

Well, here’s to hoping it does happen.

The FACT that one of the most POWERFUL states in the Union has 0 play in selecting the nominee is LAUGHABLE.

No, it's deliberate.

RiNO's and 'Rats holding hands and making common plans to screw over the voters of Texas.

So, even in MIchigan the Mitbots have to cheat ~ just like in Virginia.

Well, no, they don't have to .... they just do it out of a sense of obligation, a sense that others are watching and that they need to promenade their style, their many excellences, their drivenness that earns them their birthright and showcases their entitlement, to rule as rulers over the rest.

Don't you agree?

<Do I need the /s tag?>

It's also an amazing coincidence that the "two" of you signed up on the same day:

It's also an amazing coincidence that your screen name is the same as the name of his blog.

Fascinating as well is the fact that you lavish fawning praise on him.

Methinks you are busted, dude.

In the spirit of open race relations, who could forget the formidable team of terror - Roosevelt Greer and Ray Milland -



I think Rosey got to do all the "posting up" of the articles they wrote.
