***Official Tuesday Live Convention Thread***

[alucard13mmfmj]

these speakers make me uneasy... so many of them sold out or really believes romney/ryan to be our saviors.

Hey guys, this is the first convention I've paid attention to so I don't know how this works. Can someone tell me when we'll know when it 'gets real'? Like, exactly when will we know if it's all over for us or not? Not sure if that's going to be today or not.

 

[Bruno]

Someone better get this convention started. I can't take any more of these speakers. God, my brain hurts...!

Only 37 left to go

 

[libertygrl]

Anyone have a live web feed of the CNN channel/w Ron Paul?

I don't think they are actually going to interview him. I ran down to catch it on tv, and all they showed was video of him speaking with some people and that CNN lady talking over the image. Then they switched to something else. Unless someone heard that they were going to talk to him???

 

[LibertyEagle]

there's going to be a fight between 3-5 is what I'm reading


don't know if you know on this thread that both VA delegation with Blackwell and the Rhode Island delegation were kept from the RNC until after the rules report and vote, per delegates on the buses first diverted from RNC then not allowed to enter security.

**&^%%^*&!! Isn't there anything we can do about it??? If they blocked us from getting there in time, how in hell is that valid?!!

 

[Nate1604]

How could any organization be so incompetent as to begin their national convention without first seating everyone??? I suppose it fits perfectly with the RNC motto of "keep it small, take it all"...

 

[RabbitMan]

Let me get this straight:

1. Dissenting voices on Rules Committee wish to make minority report to get rid of the Romney Rule Changes.
2. "Compromise agreed to" last night per many news stories.
3. 2 members kicked off committee later, replaced with Romney delegates.
4. Bus for VA, containing leader of Minority Blackwell, drives randomly, drops them off 7 blocks away.
5. Minority report fails and Rules pass.
6. Colorado says they have enough Sigs to contest on floor.
7. Is Number 6. real or imagined?

 

[jcarcinogen]

How many damn speakers do they have to have? Theyre all saying the same shit. "we can do better, obama bad, you didn't build that, Israel first".

 

[Eliyahf]

Was there a credentials report? How can they start without the credentials report?

 

[cajuncocoa]

@TPCarney
Word is one Minority Report has enough signatures. It's on Rule 12, allowing the party to change rules between conventions.

You can't bet your butt that when people in power can use the letter of the law to maintain their power, they'll do so.

US Senate Candidates now blathering away...

So much for the Tea Party's fight against the establishment! They lined up like good little Republican lemmings didn't they? Only problem, is that they are taking us off the cliff with them!

Keep in mind, they are REQUIRED to praise Romney/Ryan as a CONDITION of even speaking. It's all a %$&%#&*% play, and they're reading their lines.

@ZekeJMiller
Michele Bachmann just stopped by to support the minority effort.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Seems this is a chance for as many lesser known politicians to get some coverage as possible. They will be able to use this speech for their campaigns. The guy that sang "hit the road Jack" made himself stand out. Maybe it will make the Daily Show.

 

[The Magic Hoof]

Guys, will we know if it's 'all over' today? I'm not sure at which point we'll know. This is my first convention and I'm not sure how it works.

 

[DGambler]

Thus, them all being on Valium or drunk.

Usually these conventions start with several hours of BS, even before rules or credentials reports.

 

[jcarcinogen]

Its like all of these speakers got the same memo to speak slowly and deliberately with a cadence... instead of sounding 'strong' or whatever they want, it is monotonous and robotic.
