NV State Senator Bob Beers at Las Vegas Ron Paul Meetup

[speciallyblend]

yep

This is a fascinating development.

Bob Beers must have at least some political acumen... He should know by know, that he's being vilified *nationally* in e-mails and the blogsphere, and that the NVGOP is being openly laughed at for it's ham-handed performance last week.

There may already be some "blowback" on him from the NVGOP leadership, to get the "RP rabble" to calm down before re-convention. I'm sure they don't like looking like clowns in the mainstream press!

I suspect we will win the same majority we were going to get ,but i cant see the nv ron paul republicans settling for less. especially after the actions of the gop.

Give the guy the benefit of the doubt - let him know what he needs to do to gain our support - maybe he has realized that freedom is important.

it just takes some people longer than others to realize this. oh, and rather than swapping delegates for agreeing not to beat the shit out him (extortion) - offer support if he can convince you that he sincerely is worthy.

 

[acroso]

He'll probably try to talk the Paul supporters into some sort of deal.

What should happen is they should go to the convention and VOTE on the delegates.

Every time these chairman try to make a deal, it's because they lack the power to do what they want without the Paul people.

Don't even pay attention to what this guy has to say because he probably backs McCain, and McCain deserves no delegates at all.

 

[Knightskye]

Give him a deal.
All National Delegates go to Ron Paul.
You walk out of here alive.

They would go to Ron Paul if they'd let the delegates finish voting.

 

[surf]

Get greedy: tell him (and be sincere if you can) that you will support him if you get to choose the "super delegates." as well.

but keep one hand on your gun. This show down might get dirty.

What do the village people have to do with anything?

 

[TruthAtLast]

I'm ready and waiting to see this. Hell, I'd pay for Pay-Per-View.

If anyone in southern California wants to come over, I'll feed it into the 60" plasma and have have burgers and steak on the grill. Or if you get bored, you can can just sit on the balcony and look at the dolphins trying to knock the surfers off their boards.

I can say this much for Bob Beers. He probably did not realize what he was stepping into, when he took the convention chairman's spot. The party longtimers have gotten into the mindset, that conventions are mostly ceremonial. He just viewed it as a showcase for hmself. I bet he and many others thought they'd be golfing that evening.

To actually try and manage rival factions, and really perform proper parliamentary duties, may not have been something he was bargaining for. He may wish now, that he hadn't gotten himself into this "mess".

 

[acroso]

...is there really going to be a stream?

We are all part of the revolution. We are family.

 

[Gadsden Flag]

Please be civil when you talk to him. We have a bad enough reputation as it is.

Try to surprise him with how courteous we can be.

 

[bcreps85]

Be polite and civil, but don't bend. Be convincing. Also, IMO if he tries to make a deal don't take it. If the establishment is willing to wheel and deal it is because we have the upper hand, and if that is the case we should take EVERYTHING, no questions asked.

Think the police will be there?

uh-oh...

EVEN IF HE OFFERS A DEAL TO GIVE ALL THE DELEGATES TO RON PAUL, DO NOT TAKE IT!!!!

Be polite, respectful, but firm. The process needs to be completed properly under the rule of the bylaws and the conclusion of the convention must be seen to the end.

We should stand for principle before anything else, even if it means losing a few delegates. This is exactly Ron Paul's message, and we should uphold it.

Sorry, I'd have to take that deal...

I just read the headline for this post on the main page of freedomsphoenix.com and it says, "State Senator Bob Beers is rumored to be attending a meeting of Nevada Republicans this evening in Las Vegas"

So there is no guarantee that he will turn up.

I hope he does because I want to see him squirm.

 

[MozoVote]

It will be interesting to find out how this went, and what his message is. He may know a few party stalwarts that REALLY want to go to convention.

The possibility of Paulites shutting everyone out with a 2/3 vote may be causing him to sweat for his political future. Even the Non-Paul people would remember this fiasco, and could hold it against him in party executive votes.

He is a politcian...he is beyond sincerity.....even if he says he likes us and wants to have our babies, he LOATHES us and always will. I do know that we are smart enough to know what to do, so I shant worry!
