[QUOTE]They’ll surely get their convention back by the time the prime time program begins and the boldfaced names talk up Mitt Romney. But the mood on the floor is surprisingly hostile to Romney and the forces engaged in a rules fight with Ron Paul forces.

Ron Paul was received like a rock star when he roamed the floor earlier creating a huge roving mass of humanity, including reporters, but mostly supporters eager to express their support.

Delegates have been chanting, “Let him speak” because Ron Paul is not scheduled to speak, although his son, Sen. Rand Paul, is scheduled to address the convention. A “Rom-ney” chant was drowned out by a “Ron Paul” chant moments before the convention was gaveled to order early this afternoon. Petitions are circulating in Tampa to force Paul’s name to be entered into nomination today.[/QUOTE]

The video starts after the call for ayes and nays, which completely strips it of context. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. :confused:
 
This is sickening to watch.

People chanting USA as they play into the establishment's hands.
 
How the fuck do you do a voice vote and let one person arbitrarily decide which side was louder? How is this idea taken seriously by anyone? This wouldn't pass for a valid voting process in a kindergarten class.

I guess you never watch Congress at work on C-SPAN. The difference is that under Roberts Rules, you are supposed to be able to request a recorded vote. Ditto to what happened with the VP nomination.

it was only intended for the obvious- 90% of the room screaming yeah and 3 people in the back screaming no.
otherwise it should go to division.
 
John Boehner is such a shit... GOP establishment cronies. Must of had another SECRET GOP POW WOW on how to push this through.

I see the Puppet MuchAsses aka US delegates from non states (territories) do their "USA USA" chant.

I really hope someone out there was recording the live feed, I've been watching youtube but nothing yet. There were numerous shots of the Texas delegates calling for division, but they were screaming into turned of microphones. I'm afraid it will be all edited by the time it hits the tubes.

It's fucking sad. I am done with the GOP. 100% done.

The Aye's did not have it.

It's clear for all to see.

Fraud.

Agree. They cheated. It's not an issue of wins or loses, it's the fact that they cheated. They are no better than Dictators who have staged elections in Third World countries.
 
Why the FUCK whenever someone yells against Romney or Ryan... they break out into USA?? DAFUQ? Last time I checked... they were americans too?
 
The death of American democracy right there on video for the whole world to see. Very sad.
People must understand it wasn't just the Ron Paul people who lost it was the democratic process.
And the Borg like drone of shouts of "USA", pathetic.

exactly. first time i heard this happen was at SRLC in N.O.LA in 2010.

I couldn't understand this...

"Let the world know this if it knows nothing else: America stands with Israel," Pence said. The comments were followed by chants of "USA, USA."

I think those chants are coming from people who think that the Republican party is the party that is supposed to be die hard support the troops, or something. They break out in to this chant like it's some kind of war cry that is supposed to strike fear and intimidation into any who oppose them.

This is how these people express their idea of "American Exceptionalism" and their idea that America is the most powerful nation in the world.

It's as if chanting USA USA is supposed to remind people who is in charge.

just gross.

I don't see death of democracy, I see its inevitable and putrid fruits.
 
The chants "USA USA" were to drown out calls for division.

RT @robport: ND delegate just texted me saying they were instructed to chant "USA" to drown out dissent. #RNCpowergrab
