Yesterday the Republican Party elected Mitt Romney as their presidential nominee at their national convention happening this week in Tampa, Florida to face Libertarian Party presidential nominee Gary Johnson and expected Democratic Party presidential nominee Barack Obama in the November 6, 2012 general election. Voting delegates at the convention voted for Romney by a landslide and Ron Paul received a significant number of votes and to a much lesser extent, other Republicans who had dropped or suspended their campaigns.
(read more at the original site.) Before yesterday's nomination process began, Republican Party chairman, Reince Priebus was calling Mitt Romney the nominee facing Barack Obama ignoring the fact he had not yet been elected to be the Republican Party's nominee. Other Republican Party officials did the same before a vote had been cast. Rather than be impartial, as most feel they should be, these Republican Party officials clearly had, and publicly voiced, bias against other nominees in favor of Mitt Romney.
Ron Paul delegates were the most vocal on the convention floor during the nomination process even shouting "Ron Paul" over other Republicans shouting "USA." Eventually Ron Paul supporters walked off the convention floor in protest. By all measures the Republican Party completely disrespected Ron Paul and his supporters.
Ron Paul and his supporters have been a thorn in the side of the Republican Party since before Paul ran for president in 2008 and as Paul's support around the country grew over the last four years to millions of Americans, the thorn was festering within the GOP. The GOP has been at the brunt of many Ron Paul verbal confrontations as Paul exposes the many instances elected Republicans vote against the Republican Party platform and tagline of smaller government. Paul will be highly critical of ...

” - - - I think the current corruptions associated with our two party past are at an end.”
I would like to believe so.
Right now we have only one political party: THE BIG GOVERNMENT PARTY. It has two wings, the Democrat “Free Stuff” Party, and the Republicans In Name Only “Our Free Stuff is better than YOUR Free Stuff” Party. Nanny, nanny, boo boo!
Every now and then both wings slip up and reveal that they are wings of the same BIG GOVERNMENT PARTY by holding a presser and announcing proudly that they have sold America down the river again with their latest ground breaking “Bipartisan Cave-In.”
“Happy days are here again” happens every four years for the blood-sucking politicians, but the National Debt continues to never-endingly drain the blood out of we sheep, the taxpayers.
People used similar, contemporary derogatory terms to describe Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, etc. - in fact all of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and authors of the Federalist Papers.
dont you know his party platform?
Yup.
What a childish response, so you think that whackcase is more commonly used to describe the early leaders of the United States. You just might.
Since you support open borders and totally uninhibited late term abortion.
Here is Johnson’s party position on our borders.
IMMIGRATION:
The Issue: We welcome all refugees to our country and condemn the efforts of U.S. officials to create a new Berlin Wall which would keep them captive. We condemn the U.S. governments policy of barring those refugees from our country and preventing Americans from assisting their passage to help them escape tyranny or improve their economic prospects.
The Principle: We hold that human rights should not be denied or abridged on the basis of nationality. Undocumented non-citizens should not be denied the fundamental freedom to labor and to move about unmolested. Furthermore, immigration must not be restricted for reasons of race, religion, political creed, age or sexual preference. We oppose government welfare and resettlement payments to non-citizens just as we oppose government welfare payments to all other persons.
Solutions: We condemn massive roundups of Hispanic Americans and others by the federal government in its hunt for individuals not possessing required government documents. We strongly oppose all measures that punish employers who hire undocumented workers. Such measures repress free enterprise, harass workers, and systematically discourage employers from hiring Hispanics.
Transitional Action: We call for the elimination of all restrictions on immigration, the abolition of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Border Patrol, and a declaration of full amnesty for all people who have entered the country illegally.
Had Pangea broken into differently-configured pieces, had there never been a Bering land bridge and had mankind never invented ocean-going vessels, this country might be a vast unsettled wilderness today - which is exactly what the Left wants to re-engineer.
My gosh, you really are a full bore nutcase.
Insufficient. I want to be a "whackjob" like Gary Johnson.
Please modify your comment.
I do like your style, to have such unusual views, you sure handle it well.

We are all from somewhere else and got here either before there were any immigration laws or ways to enforce them. I guess I am technically "illegal" and should just go turn myself in.
I might be slightly Hispanic, because a splinter of my father's family had its origins along the France / Spain border where the roads and trails were kind of muddy and steep.
The right to peaceably travel is inherent. Key word = "peaceably".
