I would too ... can’t stand him. How he has brainwashed thousands of supporters is beyond me.

Tea partyers push for a GOP floor fight over 2016 rules
11:35 am August 27, 2012, by jgalloway

TAMPA — Matt Kibbe, the president and CEO of FreedomWorks, one of the top organizations behind the tea party movement, was at the Monday morning meeting of the Georgia delegation – attempting to foment a revolt that could undo GOP efforts to keep tea partyers happy, and quiet.

That’s one reason why Georgia’s delegation meeting was closed to press. The other: State GOP Chairman Sue Everhart on Tuesday wants to pledge all of Georgia’s 76 delegates to Mitt Romney. Newt Gingrich has cut loose his delegates, and Rick Santorum has done the same.

But four Georgia delegates refused to sign a document that would allow their votes to be cast by proxy – despite the pressure of “Mitt! Mitt! Mitt!” chanting by other delegates.

Ron Paul won no delegates in Georgia’s primary. But three of the four holdouts have now declared themselves Ron Paul supporters, despite signing pledges to support the party’s nominee.

Which brings us back to the rule change up for approval by the convention on Tuesday, which — in 2016 — would give the Republican nominee the power to vet delegates to the national convention. In other words, the rule change would allow the nominee to pick those who will pick him/her.

To tell the truth, I think most of his supporters are stealth demonrats. Disrupters who want us to fail and will do anything to that end.

JMHO.....

So let me get this straight. It turns out in part this is an attempt by the Paul people to hijack the convention?
I understand why we don’t want the rules changed, but how do we stop some jackwagon like this from doing what they’re doing with the GA delegates. Paul won no delegates in GA, but we have 4 of them supporting him anyway?
I don’t like Romney much, but he is the elected nominee, and of all years we need to be unified. Obozo can not have 4 more years, or we won’t have to worry about any of this in 2016. We’ll all be in re-education camps.
Has anyone heard from either Romney, or Ryan about this. Any statements, or comments from either?
