***Official Tuesday Live Convention Thread***

[Eisenhower]

What's most ironic is that the people chanting "USA" don't realize how badly they are getting screwed over.

 

[BuddyRey]

So it's all finished now? Our goose is cooked?

 

[The Gold Standard]

What difference would it make? Look who is running the show.

 

[Deinonychus]

So it's all finished now? Our goose is cooked?

California Republicans plan to drown out any Ron Paul uprising
ST. PETE BEACH, Fla. - California's delegation to the Republican National Convention was planning today to counteract any uprising by Ron Paul supporters on the convention floor, with officials preparing "delegate whips" to lead the effort.

The state delegation, marginalized in most matters because of California's heavily Democratic electorate, could be significant in drowning out any chants supporting Paul: The 172-member delegation is the nation's largest, and unlike some split delegations is fully committed to Romney.

In a private meeting at the delegation's beachfront hotel, Jeff Randle, the senior Romney adviser who is in charge of the California delegation, told 16 delegate whips to be prepared for a potential Paul uprising, including leading pro-Romney chants. Randle and the whips were expected to meet again Monday to finalize plans.

Paul stopped campaigning in the Republican primary months ago, but the Texas congressman's supporters are an exceptionally vocal group, and he maintains a small number of delegates. The Romney campaign plans to air a film about Paul during the convention, but it is unclear if that will be enough to quiet Paul's supporters............

[Tyler_Durden]

Boehner just pulled a Eugene Dokes, albeit on a national level......

 

[cajuncocoa]

This is why no one outside of the establishment has a chance. We are so fcked.

 

[mickey mouse joy division]

This is why I'm voting for Obama. Screw all of these people.

CALL FOR DIVISION DAMNIT!!

[ZENemy]

Voting? Who would still vote for anything after this?

The system is broke, you JUST saw it.

Its now or never.

 

[puppetmaster]

This has made me even a more ardent fighter for liberty and against this tyranny.

 

[cajuncocoa]

This reminds me of why I'm really rooting against Romney.

I don't favor Obamney over Robama...Obama would do the exact same thing if we were working within the DNC. Two sides of the same coin.

 

[Karsten]

This is why I'm voting for Obama. Screw all of these people.

I wouldn't vote for Obama, or even root for him to win. I'm just rooting for Romney to LOSE. We need a Paul party in 2016.

Rules were just passed by roll call. They never gave a vote to the minority report. Is that forthcoming?

I doubt it.

NO ONE BUT PAUL!!

You just lost yourself the slim chance you had of winning the election, Grand Old Party! Take your chants of USA and think again about the freedom you claim to represent, while you enjoy four more years of Obama.

 

[jkob]

I bet they planned to drone out all opposition with USA chants in advance.
