Take a look at the photo. That's what patriots look like 232 years after some other patriots took on King George.

Were there any of the rank and file GOP disgusted enough with what happened, to participate in the rump convention?
I'm just trying to imagine what this would have been like... District conventions normally have some legislators and county commissioners in attendance, and statewide candidates arriving to make short stump speeches. I would think at least some of them would be shocked, to see a convention unravel like this.
This event will definately be bigtime rumor mill fodder among the GOP leaders.
This brou-ha may suit the Missouri GOP just fine. They'd rather have a rump delegation and a contested convention, which prevents anyone from being seated and any disruption happening at the National Convention. They'll make any sacrifice necessary, to keep Paul supporters out.
Mr. Akin was walking up to the podium to speak and my father yelled "follow the rules!". Todd Akin I'm sure got an ear full since he was like 2 feet away.
If you're as furious as I am and ready to fire off a nasty email to Jones (who is a State Legislator not a Congressman) and Dugan (a wanna be), please don't without carefully weighing your words, and then sleeping on it before you hit send.
Ask yourself one question. Will your words help or hurt those of us who live in Missouri and are engaged in a pretty ugly fight to win every delegate and alternate we can to the national convention?
And remember, that's just the first step in a longer war. We live here, guys, and we're in this fight for the long-term. Please think twice before you drop aerial bombs in our backyard that could well take some of us out.
I live in the 2nd District. In fact, both Jones and Dugan are from the same township that I live in. I had never met either of them until our local caucus on March 15, and it was obvious then that they weren't our friends.
Their behavior today, arrogant and childish as it was, was not surprising. And I assure you, I let Mr. Dugan know exactly what I thought of his behavior.
A nasty email won't change much, friends. What does bring about change is replacing those who demonstrate a lack character, integrity, and justice with those who possess those qualities.
That's why we could send them lots of emails if you have a list!

Hotels at the Rep Naional Conventions were discussed in other threads. Here is info from the convention website. Maybe the rooms for our Missouri National Delegates selected in this caucus should be booked asap if anyone could afford them?

For anyone living in these two state districts i encourage you to do your part to let your friends and neighbors know we don't want people like Timothy Jones and Shamed Dogan in our state legislature. People that find it amusing and laugh while rules the party has agreed on are broken sure can't be trusted to be writing and passing legislation.
I agree Debbie, we need to take the high road on these fights, we win/gain nothing by stooping to their level. Be courteous, think carefully on your words. ......
I'd like to send an email to let them know that I expect that any patriotic, politically involved American would follow the rules set forth by the party. I want to let them know of my deep dissappointment at the behavior at the convention, and to let them know the spotlight is on them, but I won't send it today--lol, I'll wait and revise it a few times......
Thank you, Rancher. I really do appreciate that.
