Like hell. They’re voting at two o’clock and Romney just removed to FL rules committee members to be replaced with two of his own.

Michelle Malkin is reporting grassroots delegates are hot about this again today, and viewing it as a purge of conservatives from the GOP.

Rush Limbaugh is addressing the issue also today.

How does someone get on this committee and how does Romney get to decide to remove them and pick who stays?

Ron Paul should go there personnally and pick a few HE wants tossed out

“How does someone get on this committee and how does Romney get to decide to remove them and pick who stays?”

Beats me! There’s probably some rule that allows it, created by, of course, the rules committee.

The internal machinery of these things is made complicated intentionally so that only the insiders understand it and can manipulate it.

78-14, compromise wins. There will be no floor fight.

Thanks for the info. I’ll have to look up the compromise.

*********************************************************
I understand there were 3 parts. Here’s an extract of the email I sent to my state rules committee members:

We’re asking you prayerfully to 1) oppose the “compromise” on Rule 15, 2) oppose the changes to Rule 12, and 3) support the full Minority Reports on the Rules.

Thank you for your consideration and please DO NOT BETRAY US!
