Are there two threads, here?
The usual suspects - the clueless young, the Libertarian-leaning, and the rabble-rousers - that want to take power from the establishment backed Munisteri.
Munisteri must have spent hundreds of thousands on his signs and literature. It’s a shame the power play was more important than the finances ** according to their actions.**
Expect scandals if he continues tactics - and spending - like those used at the Convention: claiming to have worked for prolife laws before Cathie Adams even became involved, supposedly (and promised) delegates to the Nominations Committee voting for Munisteri on the second ballot, cheering when he took the lead.
Then, having Mechler come out to introduce Munisteri smacked of collusion or pay off.
And then, who *did* pay for all that specialty printing for signs, literature, name tags, etc?
Supposedly, the major objection was the “wasted time” caused by not having the election for Chair and call to order on the first day. (Of course, they stalled the meeting an hour on Saturday night for their own victory speeches.)
Of course, that would simply mean the clueless would be more clueless, more likely to follow the demagoguery and blatant emotional attacks that we heard and saw all week.
It would also ignore the fact that Credentials met most of the morning on Friday, that the Permanent Committees aren’t elected until the first Senate District Caucus on Friday, and that the Convention is about the only time most of us have to meet State elected and candidates for office.
know this. We are not interested in party apparatchiks. Here is what we will have. We are going to shut these damned borders DOWN to illegals. And then we are going to send to prison any employers that violated our laws with intent. Then we are going humanly to deposit these illegals in MEXICO!! Get on board or get out of our way!! We don’t give a crap about Perry — we don’t give a crap about liberal republicrats.
