I’m not a Paul fan at all but this is as it should be. Elitism has been given a smack in the nose.
It Pees me off though that the elites would even bring up such an outlandish idea. I consider it unAmerican.
Just received a similar message from my state senator who is a delegate in Tampa. He is satisfied that the offensive rule will not be instituted.
floor fight? Or no one challenges Romney fight.
Did we win?
Thanks for posting this.
Glad that the rule has not been instituted but should we not look at one of the main proponents of this monstrosity - Ben Ginsberg, top lawyer for the Romney campaign! This has nothing to do whether one should vote for Romney or not to get rid of Obama but we should be fully aware of WHO we are dealing with - eyes wide open.
That’s a relief AND what a lame-brained idea the original rule was! Who thought that one up?!
Malkin’s article was also talking about a second rule change where the party could have a vote to change rules any time they want instead of waiting until the convention. If that wasn’t also blocked, then it seems like the elites could just vote to put the other rule back into effect whenever they want. So the grass roots might be getting played on this “deal” like conservatives usually do.
Steve Deace mentioned another rule change coming from Romney that allows the nominee to veto the party platform.
We’re looking at the most leftist RINO SOB ever to run for the presidency as a Republican. He’s already pushing his own version of socialized healthcare. Things are gonna get hot no matter what.
The Big Lie.
Tokyo Rove needs to roll up and ... just go away, permanently.
I wouldn’t trust them on this.
They only backed down because Texas and other states didn’t.
This is state’s rights against the federal government.
Right you are! I will not forget this man’s name—>Ben Ginsberg<—

He related to Ruth Bader?
Rot starts at the top. There are a whole lot of RINOs who’ve said and done a lot of distasteful stuff while working for Romney. The one thing they have in common is that they work for Romney.
Mark Levin is PISSED....and a caller said....VOTE FOR the MINORITY report....to save the party and the grassroots....from what I understand.
I hope he is not just running to get his face on a coin. He has the opportunity to turn us back from communism. I hope he takes the challenge and does not further communism..
Lenin is truly dead. The same for Hitler, Stalin and Mao. Castro and Chavez are facing their own judgement. These politicians must realize that they are not gods, only deciples of lucifer like Alinsky, 0bama and .....hopefully not Romney.
” - - - Frankly, we find it hard to understand how your delegations would be willing to give away their rights.”
And so the first volley has been fired to re-take the Republican Party by replacing the Republicans In Name Only, who insist that everybody tows the Party line: “MY party, Right or Wrong.”
This time we won, and it feels GOOD!
Thank goodness. Ben Ginsburg should be fired for attempting to impose such an elitist rule. I don’t expect him to be fired, but he definitely deserves it.
