Colorado state convention thread

[Agorism]

Primaries reward the apathetic. Caucuses reward the determined.

Exactly.

If Iowa were a primary system, we'd have HillaryBeast in the WH right now and she would bombing Iran at this very moment. Probably would still be using water boarding torture as well.

Again, I understand the process. It just does not seem to be the most efficient, and really leaves the voters out of the process a lot more so than the primary does. Honestly though, this is the first year where we have seen this to the level we are because of the calendar enabling later states to have a bigger say in the nomination.

I like caucuses because they do act as a test of organizational skills. However, the drawn out convention process is where there are some issues that I imagine will be looked at over the next four years or so. Like I said, I would hate to see one of our guys get screwed out of delegates in the future.

I don't trust Obama, but Hillary would have been worse.

The way things have been going, I would not doubt if there was fraud again.

If Ron Paul supporters were a majority, make a count. Prove it. Have a open vote where you stand up, that way ballots can't be faked. Don't let the convention adjourn if this is true. Refuse to leave. Make them arrest you all.

This guy's reporting from Canada lol. He predicted Ron would have 21 delegates after the state convention. His info is probably not credible, but people are saying that they have a hunch of a Romney rig.

the party seems willing to rig it wholesale at the local level, not every place but enough to win, whatever it takes. We have specific evidence from Maine, Missouri, Georgia..... I could be being uncharitable, but we run into it again and again. That being said, I could also be convinced that today we just had a few less of the numbers, but maybe the quiet is our folks protesting it.

Aside from that looks like I have some Tweets and FBs to try to delete. Sadly.

It does, but man is this a mess of a way to determine delegates. I much prefer a primary system like NH's.

You're joking right? You want an un-auditable voting process and the easiest access to the vote so that the least passionate have the same weight as we do? Brilliant.

thanks. Please start a thread with that so people don't have to wade through this thread for the official bottom line.

 

[carterm]

so that would mean the final numbers are paul 13, romney 13, santorum 7?

You need that if you have candidates no one can get passionate about. I don't see why our candidates should need it.

What is funny ... really funny is that Bob Beauprez is a banker and he was a spokesman for Romney. The GOP is toast if they ignore Ron Paul. They will do so at their own peril.

Just got home from the convention. It was adjourned long before results were posted (room had to be vacated for another event). Sad to see the news of the results though. I'll post more later. So tired right now....

but Romney will have all the at large party types. So he hs the plurality. Also we don't know how many unpledged are ours yet from today.

thank you! Let us know how many of the unpledged were actually ours when you find out, if it isn't already posted. Get some rest!
