***Official Tuesday Live Convention Thread***

[NoOneButPaul]

Iowa has shown us the blueprint of what we need to do. Stay active in the party and you'll make your state into the next Iowa!

And once the Iowas start to come about and dominos start to fall... man these people are going to shit themselves.


Im not saying they won't keep breaking the rules, i'm not saying it won't be depressing and hard and a complete challenge, i'm not saying you'll be happy with the GOP for the foreseeable future, but when the dominos start to fall and when our will breaks theirs...

When time catches up to them and this generation is still here dancing on their graves... no matter how long it takes, if we stand together and fight under the same banner we cannot and will not be stopped. At the very least time will equalize this and we will retake this party.

Did they cancel Rand Paul's speech yet?

 

[playpianoking]

Though I won't be voting in November, I will be smiling when Romney loses the election.

Gary Johnson will not win, but 5%+ could be a wake up call to some and change the future four years from now.

 

[devil21]

where have you been ? It was stacked at the local level. They'll only raise the bar, or change the rules. Mobocracy has killed the Republic.

It was stacked at the local level in the sense that we didn't have Liberty supporters in office. That's about to change. You have to inject yourself into the local level and start taking it over through winning offices and committee positions and delegate slots, attending off year conventions where leadership is elected, etc. It's not going to fall into our laps. You have to make it happen.

Just spoke to a Non Ron Republican who watched it on TV. They thought it went smoothly... This is what we're up against.

 

[phill4paul]

And with the line from the Animal House version, "a little bit of fuckin' now" (i.e., fuckin' over the Ron Paul delegates and the man himself).

I prefer the Mickey Mouse theme song...

F.U.C.K.E.D. A.G.A.I.N. we're fucked again.....

Oh sure. Everyone on FarceBook is calling me a 'sore loser.' Fuck them. They are sheep and have NO idea what just happened.

That's why most of the shenanigans weren't televised on national TV, like all the stuff with the rules committee, the bus, and Maine.

 

[Bastiat's The Law]

The not voting encourages the bastards.

Plato said the price of not being politically active is that you end up being ruled by your inferiors.

No it's wed night

so let me get this right.. Its vote to keep getting raped in the rear by the big razor blade covered dildo for 4 more years... or vote to get raped in the rear by the razorblade covered dildo behind a thiny vieled hankerchief for 8 more years... or vote for some random 3rd choice or sit it out which basically equals let the audience of zombies decide which of the previous 2 youre going to get. ... what a historical election

yeah yeah states states states... we get it already but hell any yahoo can fluff up and say yes i am for liberty.. then once in office.. yeah. repeat the broken record.

If only Ron would run 3rd and GJ honor his plege to concede the top ticket to Paul. I and many others would vote Paul/Johnson no prob.

 

[NoOneButPaul]

I beg to differ. Ron Paul doesn't need to run for the GOP nomination ever again (especially after this spectacular hosing by the power elite). But he can run for the LP nomination in 2016, while Rand runs for the Republican nomination. He can offer to pull out IF RAND IS NOT CHEATED out of winning the GOP race. That gives the hacks no where to run to escape the Liberty movement. This will ensure a Paul (one way or another) will be on the ballot on Election day 2016.

That would be so awesome.

Ron can't run because of sore-loser laws.

I'd do it in a heartbeat, and Ron once said that he might be able to be convinced that taking matching funds was ok if it wasn't for one of the major parties since they got so much taxpayer funding and monopoly barriers to entry set against them with ballot rules. At that time (1989) he said he wasn't quite there but it wouldn't take much to push his view over. If he did what would he have, about $39 million, without any money bomb at all? It wouldn't be on scale with the others, but it could get out more of a message than a nomination speech, I suspect.

 

[Bastiat's The Law]

Remember 2008 everyone, this is progress. Even if it doesn't feel that way.

We increased our presence 100 fold. We need to do it again.

 

[sailingaway]

not necessarily

1. It seems clear those can't constitutionally apply to Presidential elections where you are voting for the ELECTORS,
2. The PARTY could be on the ballot instead of his name
3. Only a few states have those and unless we are expecting him to win, his losing a few states doesn't detract from his ability to get 15% and get into the debates
4. One of the states that has those is Texas and we would have a write in candidacy there that would quite clearly get more votes than any other non major party, regardless of if he was on the ballot.

I think it is a terrific idea, and may make them think twice before cheating the next grass roots candidates so badly.

 

[devil21]

Not all states have sore loser laws.

 

[Acala]

The current game cannot continue. The iron laws of economics will bring the house down eventually. In your lifetime. When it comes down, the fucks who run the show now will come down with it. It is up to us to be ready, to be organized, to be in place to raise liberty from the ashes.

1) Congratulations to Obama on securing his tyrannical reign another 4 years.

2) In a way, I'm glad it's all over. We can step back and focus on what's next - whatever that may be.

3) Whatever preparations must be accomplished in order to have a real victory in the future, they must be attended years in advance. If local and state chairs are what's necessary, they need to be fought for ASAP, not a year before the next party convention.
