***Official Tuesday Live Convention Thread***

[WesSeid]

Voting for Gary Johnson would just encourage the Libertarian party to keep doing what they are doing (remember Bob Barr) - I'm writing in RON PAUL until the Libertarian party can put together a serious Liberty candidate.

Gary Johnson isn't a serious liberty candidate?

 

[Carson]

Not a single delegate would stand up for Newt!

Through 56 states and territories:

Mitt Romney - 2061
Ron Paul - 190
Abstain - 18
Rick Santorum - 9
Buddy Roehmer - 1
Jon Huntsman - 1
Michelle Bachmann - 1

Yet the media was all over him for weeks.

Not in the form of a chart?

I hope the Daily Show and Colbert gangs covers the screwing of Ron Paul this week.

As the new rules disenfranchising the Paul delegates came to a vote, shouts of “no!” and a cascade of boos poured from Paul supporters across the hall. Maine delegates at one end of the arena and Texas delegates at the other began chanting, “Point of order!” Demonstrators shouted down the next speaker, a Republican National Committee member from Puerto Rico, and party chairman Reince Priebus hammered his gavel, pleading for quiet. A Nevada delegate raised his middle finger at Priebus and called him an “[expletive] tyrant.”

Ron Paul personally is against drugs and says he's not sure he's even seen a marijuana cigarette in his life.

If the prohibition on drugs has had the same effect as the Prohibition on alcohol did on alcohol, legalization should reverse what has been happening to us.

It will be hard work to get back to some semblance of normalcy but at least the work could be done honestly and out in the open. The idea that it will put the burden of saving oneself on the shoulders of the one with the problem is kind of scary but thinking the state can handle the job is ludicrous. Not that they haven't ever been of help letting you know you've gone to far.

We could set up places to help when people sought it. Privately for that matter.

What's ironic is the industry, who itself was subject to the idiocy of prohibition, is now its greatest backer when it comes to illegal drugs. That industry is the alcohol industry itself. The fear of competition drives them to support prohibition.

awkward start? "Romney, Romney" chant just met with louder "Ron Paul, Ron Paul" on #2012GOP floor

Oh, I agree prohibition is insane, but Erie of the red reputation dot seems to always manage to slip something in that puts Ron in an 'off' light.

Not a bad story while it talks about how they cheated. Of course they use that to transition into a typical Democrat attack on Romney. I saw Reince Preibus and John Boehner up there cheating, not Mitt Romney.

 

[frickettz]

Does anyone know if Rand will still be speaking or not?

I just quoted it for the part about the Nevada delegate giving him the finger. I take all op/eds with a grain of salt and consider the source..as should all.

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

 

[WhistlinDave]

I missed everything, just got back online and turned on the TV, and I'm seeing all this stuff about Romney "winning" 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??????

EPIC!

 

[KramerDSP]

Senator Ayotte is talking about rules, regulations, and red tape.

Such hypocrites.

 

[KramerDSP]

EPIC!

Do it, Ron!

 

[KramerDSP]

Ayotte pulling one from the Obama playbook. "(name) from (insert town name) had a dream. But (political party) ruined it!"

She really gets the crowd going. Puts me to sleep.

Rand Paul to be on CNN shortly.

This convention is like a Chinese communist indoctrination program...fake telepromting reading hacks pushing propaganda slogans like robots.

Dear leader loves you, dear leader will save us, everything for dear leader.
