NV State Senator Bob Beers at Las Vegas Ron Paul Meetup

[SweetMona]

Beers made a fool out of himself!

The rulebook does not give Beers an authorization to do mail-in vote.
Set for 2nd convention regardless of budget issue.

We can find a local school with big gym that can offer a free space. Stick to your gun!

Nevada...did we win?

Bob Beers is not a spokesperson for the State GOP so nothing productive came from the meeting, other than to vent a little bit and have a little pow-wow.

I consider the incomplete convention a win for us. Remember...the leadership shut it down because we were about to sweep all the delegates; and since we were very close to having majority we have a tremendous amount of leverage.

Get the local Lions Club to run a food booth... Corn Soup, Ham Sandwiches and Homemade Pie. They'll make money for their charities and you folks will eat on the cheep.

In other news I used to work for 5 diamond hotels in Atlanta... we charged $3 for each 12 oz bottle of soda didn't matter if it was drank or not. On a good note we'd never say no to any group wanting the banquet room for extra time as long as no one else scheduled the room that day. Why would be be so nice.... because we could sell you more of our $3 soda pops. As for food prices a mere bowl of peanuts would really set you back...! But hey it was in a shinny silver bowl...

My take.

It appears that a "stare down" will be taking place over the next few weeks. The NVGOP will attempt to finish the convention by mail. Does the RP group have the legal resources to push back and block it? If not, the NVGOP will just keep sledding and "tough it out".

Beers probably went, because he needed to maintain the appearance of making an effort to explain things, and not run the convention singlehandedly. (I do think that he and the NVGOP would rather avoid further bad publicity.) By going, stating his case calmly, he can make an ostensible claim to be offering a resolution to the problem, and could cast the RP supporters as the ones being obstinate.

On the whole, it was probably a smart move on his part to show up, even if his idea of compromise smells ripe for more party schenanigans.

I'd think it would be an easy thing to get a casino to host it. It has already received some national attention, and on top of that, Ron Paul is the only candidate in support of legalizing online gambling. For a casino to offer a banquet room for a day is nothing for them compared to the off chance that Ron Paul might get the nomination. No matter how small those odds are, it should be an easy decision for them.

Edit: They might even throw in some bad ass bouncers to oversee the event and make sure they follow Robert's Rules.

Hell... If it's in a Casino I think there should be a parade and cake too...

Beers Sucks

Not only are they trying to screw us with this bogus mail-in ballot bulls--t, but we are also being informed mccinsanes people are contesting the way our congressional delegates were elected and want to null and void the 7 out of 9 RP delegates that were elected! This is what caused them to stain their shorts and run for the door.
Our votes are being thrown away, our rights as citizens to follow the election process are being denied, we are asked to follow the rules while they are being broken by the party for their agenda. THIS SUCKS.
This is why we have the second amendment! This is outright tyranny. What would our founding fathers do? I think we know.

I wonder if there is any more doubt as to whether the primaries were rigged.

 

[puppetmaster]

Funny thing is our county (washoe) held the same meeting at the same hotel in the same room and we had plenty of money to cover. It was all paid for by us with our registration fee.....

What [nonviolent] procedures can you guys undertake in order to contest the actions of the McCain delegates?

Do we have any Lawyers/Legal Advise to what can be done on both State and Federal levels of violations of Nevada delegate/voter/citizen rights?

In 2002 remember the New Hampshire Senate phone jamming scandal? This is a VOTE JAMMING scandal by the NVGOP! Many people went to prison, but the sentences were reduced because the GOP in fused major cash for top lawyer defense bills.

Legal ramifications and assistance is needed on this ASAP... after the fact, will be too late and that's exactly what the NVGOP are betting on. Of Course the GOP will come come up with some lame band aid fixes for the future to comply with the LAWS.

This is total BS by McINSANE fix and the NVGOP hunta!

Beers explaining that conventions are run by volunteers, it's expensive, most of the people have 10 years or more of experience, that it's thankless work. I guess trying to gather some sympathy....

OMG....play the smallest violin in the world why don't you Beers!

 

[acroso]

Does anyone know if delegates who did NOT attend the original convention will be able to vote in the mail in?

I assume they could. The GOP is just going to mail stuff to all those LDS people so as to stop the Paul people.

Of course if they hold a convention the LDS people won't show up so they can't do that of course...because Paul would win that.

 

[speciallyblend]

NVGOP is full of crap,dont trust them ,DONT SETTLE,if we dont get over 90% of the delegates.then it' a total BS SCAM

Why does every fucking person on this board use the LDS as a scapegoat? It at least was plausible when Romney was in, but tying the LDS to McCain is just pitiful and offensive.

I live in Utah, I am LDS. I can tell you one thing for sure... about 80% of the Ron Paul supporters here are in fact MORMONS, yes they are LDS. When people started throwing the LDS bias and attacks over Romney it pushed quite a few supporters away from being offended at the blanket accusal's.

I personally have been offended by these actions many times. I thought we were fighting for INDIVIDUAL rights? so why is you must keep lumping the LDS members into a category. I know this much about life.... attacking others is NOT the way you befriend them.

because a majority of them supported romney in NV,who then supported mccain,but no worries . i dont think anyone new can show, only the people that were at the original convention.. (most are worried if they can flood the convention now,but from what i gathered from other members here. they cannot


THE FACT IS DONT SETTLE FOR ANYTHING THE GOP IN NEVADA OFFERS. YOU WANT THE REAL VOTE TO HAPPEN,IF YOU SETTLE FOR LESS, then we dont win. WE DONT HAVE TO SETTLE FOR ANYTHING BUT THE VOTE and we win the same amount of delegates DO NOT SETTLE FOR ANYTHING THE GOP OFFERS forget the mail-ins_this is a way to try to fix the vote) that meeting was 100% TOTAL BS LAST NIGHT,if we settle for anything the gop offers we lose,follow the rules and we WIN


ps ,i have plenty of lds friends and from my point of view a majority of lds members are far nicer and polite then most americans see something positive for you


the gop is delaying and will do anything to marginilize the republicans.. there is no excuse they didnt redue this weekend . THE NVGOP IS A SCAM and it showed loud and clear in last nights meeting .DO NOT SETTLE FOR ANYTHING BUT THE REAL VOTE < NO MAIL-INS personally i think they will will ignore and continue to do anything to make sure ron paul doesnt comeout on top,so expect more BULL SHIT . i suspect if we show in force in colorado they will postpone as well and delay, expect the same in maine and delaware the gop is showing themselves to be scum. registered republican in colorado

watching the video feed of bob beers last night , i could smell the bullshit thru the camera, might as well had a big black shit stain on his pants there was so much BS ,posted by a pissed of republican .(SCREAMS)It's my Party and i want it back NOW, stole it from jg wentworth

 

[Ready2Revolt]

If they forced a mail in vote could the RP people abstain and the vote not have the necessary people to meet Quorum?
