Odd that the fact the Romneybots outnumbered the Ron Paul supporters at that caucus is not mentioned...
there were mostly RomneyBots and Paul supporters there..
The Paul supporters had to be objecting to some element that was muscling in...
Just sayin...
I was there (St. Charles) and the 3 candidates' people were about split into thirds. Santorum had the most, which is why the Romney and Paul people joined forces.
there were mostly RomneyBots and Paul supporters there..
Yes, once they joined up, they had about two thirds.
The Paul supporters had to be objecting to some element that was muscling in...
No, they were the element muscling in. They planned this well in advance and they intended to disrupt the proceedings. But we all came there ready to fight and it was no surprise to me. The GOP people running the caucus were idiots and the police over-reacted.
First off, they had only reserved the building for 3 hours after the start-time. This was completely unreasonable.
And seriously: no cameras? In 2012? This was seemingly designed to cause a fight and it did.
So there's plenty of blame to go around.
