..Ding!
It’s the coup that we all knew was coming.
The elites in DC are going to stomp all over the people who got them where they are.
They are just as big a scumbag as the DNC and their ilk. No real difference.
George Wallace was right...........
And the pure party bots can do nothing but scream that its all Ron Paul’s fault.
Its like jumping off a cliff and blaming gravity for making the ground so hard.
I have heard that the Virginia delegation is going to vote against all changes in unison.
The only slime that approaches the depth of the Obamadork collection of felons is that of our very own Republican elites.
May the flies of a thousand outhouses come to rest on their dinners.
Thanks for the thread. Will catch up when I get home.....I hope. UGH, what a nightmare.

There was a Democrat that infamously tried to pull what Boehner did when he was presiding over the gavel. He railroaded the vote,wouldn’t allow a count..said the bill passed...and eventually got reprimanded. Can’t remember the name but I feel as much outrage over Boehner pulling the same type of stunt.
What’s going on down there is serious. If you read the hour-by-hour transcript, it is obvious that the GOP-e is defeat out of the jaws of victory.
It seems to be an effort to purge the non-GOP-e from the party.
History may look back at this moment as the time the moment that spawned another party that eventually replaces the GOP. Yea, imho, it really is that serious.
We have to get rid of Obama.
After that I’m going third party. I really am. I promise. I’ll take my queues from Rush and Palin, who I think have the power to take it to the party elite.
This IS “Paulite” nonsense. The Paulers orchestrated this delay in the convention to further divide the “inside the Beltway” Republicans from the social conservatives. It didn’t take much, but it worked and they got Ron Paul’s face in all the pictures of the convention, today, instead Romney’s picture.
Just what the Democrats and the Paulers were hoping for.
This is not going to bode well for Romney on November 6th —
All these “romney is a conservative” bot are silent now. How does the knife in the back feel?
As JR has said on another thread “I’ve told you so”
LoL....and people didn’t expect these types of antics to occur?
Sounds like our last county convention with the same result.
I’ve been talking to some of the older delegates who have been around for a while. They have a theory that only people who’ve been in politics at this level for a very long time could come up with.
Back in 1992, John Sununu had been pushed out of the White House as Chief of Staff, but was still a committed partisan for George H. W. Bush. Ben Ginsberg was a lawyer with the Republican Party.
In 1992, Pat Buchanan challenged George H. W. Bush, forced his way into the convention as a speaker, and lots of conservatives rallied to him. It was a very bad year for Team George H. W. Bush and to this day social conservatives and Pat Buchanan get blamed.
This year, John Sununu and Ben Ginsberg are with Mitt Romney. They saw an upstart campaign from Rick Santorum, who rallied social conservatives like Pat Buchanan did in 1992. He got himself onto the convention stage with a speech, tonight, on welfare that a number of prominent Republicans are worried about.
The guys who’ve been old hands at this for a long time have gotten it in their heads that these rule changes Team Romney keeps coming up with is payback from Ginsberg and Sununu going back to 1992. It doesn’t matter whether it is true or not, they are muttering about it in the halls and it fits as the only rational explanation to a number of these guys.
One of them laughingly told me, “They had Phyllis [Schlafly] give her seal of approval to the platform. Now they’ll make sure they never have to listen to her or the rest of us again.”
Old politicos never actually get over grudges on either side within either party ever.
It doesn’t make any difference to me — I wasn’t going tovote for the S.O.B. anyway. Romney/Obama, Obamney, Robama, whatever, you can’t tell ‘em apart in a dark room. This is just another reason to vote for the person (not neccesarily the candidate) you feel is best qualified for the job.
Whichever candidate wins the Presidency, we Americans are going to lose. Voting for either of them is tacit approval of whatever they do. They’ll do it but you will have enabled and approved it with your vote.
Enjoy the descent into Socialism. You’ve earned it!
Vote Sarah Palin. Your vote may not count for her but at least it won’t count against you!
GOPe screwing the little people again? What else is new? I am so happy I am no longer a Republican. Enjoy the screw those of you still dumb enough to be Republicans.
