WASHINGTON state gop convention thread STARTING 5/30 (LIVESTREAM May31-June 2)

[sailingaway]

Bruce Morton ‏@BYUfan
According to #WAGOP chair Kirby Wilbur #RonPaul is ahead in CD 3, 6, and 7 #MittRomney is ahead in CD 1, 4, 5, and 8. The others are tossups

this guy says he will be live tweeting, but also speaks of the convention as starting Friday with a reception Thursday night for Ron Paul supporters, whereas elsewhere someone is saying he is already there. Maybe Friday is the 'main day'.

Bruce Morton ‏@BYUfan
Rumor has it that the #WAGOP platform will be only 2 pages. Is that the best they can do?

3h Bruce Morton ‏@BYUfan
All #RonPaul supporters in WA are invited to attend our campaign rally Thursday night before the #WAGOP convention.

Bruce Morton is our guy- he's the Ron Paul 44th Legislative District Coordinator- he's an alternate btw.

 

[Origanalist]

Kirby Wilbur is NOT a Ron Paul kind of guy.

 

[jcannon98188]

Bruce Morton is a good guy, Kirby Wilbur is not

See you all at the party tonight?

Don't know what this means in the scheme of things but it doesn't sound like a positive:

Cronyism at work! Only 14/64 delegates elected and its Chair/Vice Chair/KCRP Officers and family. #wagop #wsrp #ronpaul http://www.kitsaprepublicans.com/convention-caucus/2012-WA_ST_ConventionDelegates.pdf

#wagop violating rules on eve of State Convention! http://thereaganwing.wordpress.com/2012/05/25/2012-credentials-no-call-to-convention/ #wsrp #kcrp #ronpaul2012 #ronpaul

 

[jcannon98188]

Yeah, Washington State is due to get pretty ugly I think. Luckily we have Doug Parish who knows the rules like the back of his hands. If something happens, we can count on him to cause trouble over it. Great guy, and I think one of the greatest assets that Washington State had this election cycle. Unfortunately, the GOP here is just too corupt. Lori Sotello is a spawn of satan, and Kirby Wilbur is protecting her. Hopefully, they will all fall from power soon.

#Romney delegates have had a 20% no-show rate at other state conventions #RonPaul delegates need to all show up and fill those seats. #wagop

Doug Parris is a contributor to the Reagan wing blog, and yes, he is a very well versed individual on Roberts Rules and the GOP rules. We actually have a nice size 'army' of individuals who are going to make this an interesting convention.

Bruce Morton and i are neighbors... literally...He is a true warrior. I'm honored to be able to call him a friend.

If establishment #wagop doesn't like cameras at the convention, I hope they feel the same about domestic #drones operated by the police.

#RonPaul supporters will be streaming video of the #wagop convention, but the rules committee may ban all cameras.

It sounds like 1000 depends on what happens at conventions, so it is kind of circular, that tweet, if the count is accurate (per the linked article)

To be honest, I can't imagine anyone actually having that information, talking about it.

What is the direct quote from the linked article? I must've clicked on the wrong one, because I don't see it.

Siemon added that Ron Paul Festival will also serve as a pre-game rally for Ron Paul's national convention delegates, which could number up to 1,000, according to one source familiar with the campaign's internal delegate count. Festival planners are organizing "Ronvoys" to bus these delegates down to Tampa, and have also started a "sponsor-a-delegate" fundraiser to help pay for travel and lodging costs.

so that could be a pretty loose number, or not, who knows?

i hate this f-ing twitter language bs.

anyway, Michelle Malkin was local. she spoke to about 10 of us at a libertarian dinner 15 or so years ago. she seemed more libertarian at the time rather than the neocon she is now. i'm very hopeful for good results in Tacoma. if so and if i'm elected next time i'd expect no neocon prime-timers.

cameras. what the helll is wrong with these people?

ps - at our district convention that the establishiment ruled over us there was a mention that they were working to get a "certain congressman from Florida" to speak at the convention.....

 

[jcannon98188]

A certain tyrant from Florida you mean?

#WAGOP has canceled plans to debut a film by Citizens United, "Obama," at state convention. Movie's not finished, GOP chairman says.

Citizens United was the group whose movie attacking H. Clinton led to the famous court ruling. #WAGOP
