Why was the ruling of the Chair not fought?

[LostNFoundNTx]

Is this Robert's or Mason's?

Robert's rules, which the RNC is supposedly under. Under the rules of the Republican party, you can only follow Mason's Manual to the extent that it does not conflict with the party bylaws, rules, and Robert's Rules. Any motion under Robert's Rules to reconcile the situation would technically be valid, though practically impossible due to intentional suppression of members in a very large room.

Thanks for your insight.

The meme needs to be started that John Bohner is the Nancy Pelosi of the Republican Party, comparing the two's parliamentary style as one in the same.

Whoever has control of the microphones, apparently has control of what happens in a huge room like that one.

Ouch, that hurts, but it is accurate.

Call me foolish...... but I am still on the edge of my seat to see if there is any legal recourse for this cheating!

He who controls the spice....!

No legal recourse. In two yrs everyone needs to follow IA's lead and take over their state parties. This is the next step.

So basically, Romney/RNC is saying "I got your Votes suckers and on National TV, Wam Bam thank you mam, now get lost"....Every State in the nation should be in an uproar. Is there a chance of a recall vote?. I noticed during the Delegates conference, @14 states did not like the way the RNC did....that's 14 states that might decide to change their votes, maybe more.

They already released the balloons - I think that makes it official

I really would have like to see all the nay voting delegates make their way to the stage and escort the chair from the stage and take a count.

 

[MozoVote]

It was better not to rush the stage and do anything rash that would be publicized as "See what rabble the Ron People are - they're like the Occupy crowd, infiltrating and creating a spectacle"

The establishment overplayed its hand and these videos show peaceful, rule-complying delegates getting steamrolled.

Remember the ultimate lesson from places like Nueces Texas, and Nevada, and Clark county Georgia. When this kind of rot is exposed for all to see, it sets the stage for a house cleaning later.

 

[unklejman]

I agree, but I still would have loved to see it.

 

[Josalyn]

It's a shame, really.

What was the point of ever having the vote in the first place if they were just going to cheat and lie? and actually, I cannot believe that we even took a system like crowds shouting nay and aye seriously. It's a messed up way to do it, at least for crowds THAT big. We should have just called for a new change to how you vote on something like that. If I had been there I would have demanded some other way to vote against or for the rule change... but I probably woulda gone to jail.

I'd imagine it's a way to get a quick idea if there is any opposition. It would be a paint to hand out ballets and no one opposes. BUT the idea would be that if it's to close to tell, then you count.
