Plenty of worst things can happen. In fact, they’ve already begun. The GOP under a Romney term will do all it can to destroy or marginalize the grass roots Tea Party. Look at what Mittens was willing to do to Sarah Palin even on the eve of the 2008 election. He does NOT respect or even slightly tolerates us. He thinks WE are unreasonable and “frightened” and ‘angry.’ He is an elitist and views us the way elitists do. He only needed us because we control (or we THINK we control) the nomination process for the party... which is a problem he is working on fixing.
Want to hear something creepy? I heard an interview of some old lady, a Paul delegate from Texas on her way to the convention, who was stopped by the TSA because they found bullets in her luggage. Apparently, she was at a hotel, and someone broke into her hotel room, but didn’t take anything. She noticed nothing was missing. She claims that, evidently, whoever broke in must have planted the bullets to delay her getting to the convention.
The Virginia delegates, who were on their way to the convention on a bus to vote against the proposed rule changes, say that the driver of the bus took them on a wild goose chase to purposely make them get there too late to do anything. In the end, they ended up having to walk to the convention.
Speaker Boner, as he was “counting” the yeas and nays for the vote, already had the “the yeas have it” written on his teleprompter before a vote was even given!
Welcome to Mitt Romney’s Republican party.
What we need to do, regardless of who wins, and make sure that we have good people as precinct delegates/captains (whatever it is in your state) and make sure good people are running your county party, district party, and state party, as well as your RNC committeeman and woman. Most importantly, we need to make sure good people win our primary elections and general elections from president down to township trustee.
The bottom line is that we can't just plan for this stuff when there's an election. We need to plan for the party elections after the election back at the time for the filing deadline for precinct delegates. County party committees here are picked in December. District parties and state parties after that.
Know the rules. Know the techniques. Plan ahead. Be organized. Work with allies. Convert swing voters, and make sure the party is in good shape.
Noob, you are becoming tiresome.
Either vote for Obama and get your a$$ back to DU or help DEFEAT him.
The primary is over, the convention isw over. The ONLY other person who can possibly be sworn in as president next year is Romney.
You have even admitted that you joined this site so recently because you decided that it was “anti Romney” enough for you. Well, guess what hero, you should go back to lurking.
