***Official Tuesday Live Convention Thread***

All Ron Paul needs to do is walk onto the floor in the middle of Rmoneys speech...simply walk.

+1000

Why not? Politics is a joke, the GOP is a joke and the RNC is a joke. Why not fuck with the system.

Peaceful disobedience at its best.

It's a game of inches, but there was nothing like the Nevada vote announcement in 2008. Sweet revenge for those of you in NV that stuck to your guns for 4 years, after ousting Lowden!

Rand Paul on CNN now

 

[CPUd]

The establishment ensured the bus taking Virginians (etc.) to the rules committee picked them up an hour late and delayed them as much as possible, so they missed the meeting and couldn't vote on behalf of their minority report. Maine was unseated, but there were apparently replacement delegates (14 for Romney, 10 for Paul), so the injustice of it all was not apparent. The Colorado chairman apparently abstained on behalf of the Ron Paul delegates he was speaking for, since he couldn't bring himself to give their count. The establishment played microphone tricks and seated Paul supporters in the nosebleeds, so the cameras saw only Romney signs. Our delegate totals ended up at least than half of what they should have been, indicating a lot more BS that ordinary viewers wouldn't figure out. Romney was ultimately nominated with over 2000 votes, and some blonde witch refused to repeat Ron Paul's votes after each state...she only repeated Romney's. Everything that was televised looked to go smoothly (except for her, and Wolf Blitzer at CNN pointed out how they're ignoring Ron Paul's votes), but there were tons of shenanigans behind the scenes beforehand. Oh, and Paul Ryan won the VP slot by default over loud apparent "nays," since the leadership invoked the rule about him being the only one with enough support ahead of time to be considered. The creeps celebrated Romney's nomination with some terrible version of "Shout," and they have no idea that they're going to lose the general election.

This is actually a lot better than I was expecting. Our people are putting 100% into this thing; the RNC has pulled out all the stops, but they still can't stop us from making our presence known. The delegates they heard so much from today will be there tomorrow, and the next day. This has to be the message:

We are here, we are not going anywhere, no matter what you do to try to stop us. We did it at the county level, we did it at the state level, and now, we're coming for you.

 

[angelatc]

Last time we had - what - 19 delegates? This time we had ten times that many.

I'm not one to celebrate losing, but this wasn't entirely entire loss. We made HUGE gains, and I pray it isn't over yet.

Can somebody tell me why Rand is trying to be so careful with his words?

It seems like he refuses to criticize Romney.

 

[idiom]

Wow. Gingrich shout-out to Ron Paul.

Blitzer was trying to get a quote of him attacking Romney or attacking America. Rand trying not to say anything that will haunt him four years from now.

 

[bkreigh]

Wow. Gingrich shout-out to Ron Paul.

He also said 90% of the RP folks will vote for Romney and the other 10% will sit out. What a joke.

 

[Aratus]

he's 22 hours away from his big speaking gig

 

[jkr]

Am I the only one who looks at Preibus and sees this?

conect the dots la la lala

he did seem "under the weather", or, retarded

 

[WhistlinDave]

I missed everything... Got home and got online and turned on the TV and heard Romney "won" the nomination.

Can anybody confirm, is it true Ron Paul was officially on the ballot? AND, if so, DID HE GET A 15 MINUTE SPEECH??????

 

[Brett85]

He also said 90% of the RP folks will vote for Romney and the other 10% will sit out. What a joke.

He was probably talking about the people who voted for Ron Paul in the GOP primary, which includes a lot of soft support. But out of those of us who are Ron's hardcore supporters, Romney will probably get about 1 or 2%.

 

[jkr]

that DOES NOT mean they will

I was watching the interview, I'm sure there will be a youtube at some point. Gingrich said in response to any division in the party with the Ron Paul supporters that RAND Paul will convince 90% of the Ron Paul supporters to come over and support Mitt Romney, and the other 10% will be set in their ways.

Yeah, I heard what he said. I was just saying that Romney may get a large number of Ron Paul voters, but he'll get a very small number of Ron Paul supporters.

I'm 90% sure Gingrich is delusional on this, even if it's true that Rand is going to try. There is nothing Rand or anyone could say that would get me to vote for Romney.

Given the contortions people went through to explain his premature betr....er, endorsement, I'm inclined to agree.
