Minnesota Chaos! Stealing delegates

The Grand Old Party has been pulling dirty trick after dirty trick to deny us delegates. And they are p.o.'d that WE'RE playing dirty tricks?

F them. I've been in the party longer than them, so F them all, and the elephants they rode in on.

And if I hear one of those neocon bastards slobber all over Ronald Reagan one more time, I think I'll never stop vomiting.
 
To put it bluntly: BULLSHIT

Have to agree.
Is this what normally happens - you have to divulge who you will vote for to be picked as a delegate? If this is normal practice - why have a vote for delgates? Why even bother with a convention and all of these rules? Just throw a big party instead.

Bizzaro-world.
 
people....whatever we do....there will be a fight.

The neocons have pushed to far......its really only a matter of time.
 
It is against Minnesota party rules to bind delegates to a candidate, ergo the move in CD - 6 is illegal.

The important thing to remember is CD 6, CD 5 and others around the country, not in Minnesota, are coming under Paul's control. These districts are what elect a good chunk of the delegates to Republican National Convention. Take control of these districts and you've got control of the party.
 
They pulled the same shit with us at the Congressional District 8 in Minnesota a couple of weeks ago only they made a motion ahead of time that stated we were to announce who we supported during our delegate speech. Some of us tried to say we supported McCain and some of us stated we were Ron Paul supporters. Regardless of which way we went it didn't help, there were too many McCain supporters and they out voted us.

  • I support John McCain...in his right to keep his own paycheck without an income tax.
  • I support John McCain...in his right to keep his own paycheck without a Federal Reserve inflation tax.
  • I support John McCain...in his right to vote for Ron Paul in November.

the national delegates must endorse John McCain or their votes won't count. That left some angry.

This would prevent a +1 for RP but still deny a +1 for McCain.

All these people who say they are bound to vote for McCain... This could all be changed if they just change the state's rules at the state convention, no? The more and more I see that in these articles, the more I think not for some reason. God damn it.
 
Guys...

We're not going to be handed delegates, I even think of the states were we did really bad in and didn't come close to winning, it doesn't seem right to "STEAL" the state... I'm all for it where we can, but it may cause a blowback to the cause. However I think we should keep trying, becuase what this will do is this year, the GOP is seeing what is in store for them. Modivated, energized, fresh, young, talented on internet for organization...

They are seeing that the organizational powers we have are going to crush them come next time it is time to play this game... Every day is a building block, every fight, win or lose, is a win as we are putting the incumbent ideas to task...

just keep fighting... Expect the worse, hope for the best.

Hijacked!

What's next, airport screeners for all GOP meetings?
 
So the secret RP delegates said they would vote for McCain so they were chosen to go to state. They then were chosen. How in the world did the people then find out that they were really RP supporters in disguise and that they would vote for RP in the state convention???

They got ahold of someone's slate that morning. The slate also created a problem in another district yesterday when a mole on the email list printed a smear piece about Ron Paul, listing our candidates on the bottom. Now THAT's playing dirty.

For our next two congressional district conventions and state convention, we won't be giving out the slate until right before time to vote.

Everyone,

We do not need cyanide capsules in event of capture yet but please guard your gear.

Thank you.

Banana- would you like some cheese with your whine?

Seriously, join the IRS if you want scrutinize people's questionnaires.

Insulting isn't exactly proven to make friends....

That said, I was genuinely curious as to why there were two sides of the story, and my theory was that they had worded questionnaire in an ambiguous way as to make it a endorsement of McCain or something like that, but I wasn't there so I asked for some details.

If nothing else, it would behoove everyone else to know what they should watch out should they pull the same tricks at another convention, no?

There was no questionnaire. It would have been nice if it had been in ink with a written response. Or recorded. Or anything except the word of various people.

I watched at least one person inform the nominations committee that they had the wrong answer down for her. They said, yeah, that can easily happen, or something to that effect. A really sloppy method all around if they were going to use it to bind votes.
 
McCain

McCain is a left wing lunatic. I really don't care if we steal his delegates since he's not a conservative.
 
Does MN. use Diabold?
If so, what Delegates?
You mean an estimate of Delegate?

And how do you steal the minds of Delegates?
That's what They should be afraid of... minds being changed at the Convention.

No Quarter!

+1!

But may I suggest that this wasn't a hijack, but a backjack - as in taking our country back. :cool:

Way to go MN - adding to the list of recent state victories! You are all awesome and inspiring! :D
