LookOutForThatTree!: Once upon a time, the population cried out for a different ruler. Rpaul arrived, he wasn't D, he wasn't R

*Bzzt*. I'll have to stop you there. RON PAUL is a Republican, through and through. He just usually dresses the usual GOP policies (Tax cuts, deregulation, no gays or abortions) under 'state's rights' bullshiat.

I know people are predicting some kind of entertaining drama at the convention, but I would bet that this is the more likely outcome:


Paultards: "We want to vote for RON PAUL!"

GOP:


Paultards:

As I've mentioned before, Pat Robertson tried this same crap in 1988 and nothing came of it.

Remember how Robertson pulled a big coup in 1988? "No, I don't", you say? That's the same way you will remember this convention.

The Republican party isn't democratic.

Abner Doon: Satanic_Hamster: nyseattitude: "In Arizona, the voting machines were rigged so that Ron Paul votes were counted as Mitt Romney votes. It was so intentional that a Romney delegate refused to certify the vote count, and for that he got thrown off the convention."

Nice.....

That sounds a bit made up.

Probably some Ron Paulite got himself chosen as a Romney delegate (they're big on that), and refused to certify the vote 'cause Paul didn't win, so clearly it was rigged. These guys are complete nutters.

You know, i've followed politics and been in it long enough, and have the education, to be able to pick out the difference between the utter horseshiat, the half-truths, and the truths. And be able to point out the truths underlying the utter horseshiat and the half-truths.

But this...I just don't know. Given some of the crap we've seen out of the GOP in the last year, year-and-a-half, this or something like it is hardly beyond the pale nor really unexpected. That's really true if the word "Arizona" is attached in any way. If I had to guess on whether this is true or not, I'd have to give it a 50/50 shot between half-truth (Paultard got picked as a delegate and refused to certify, like you said) and truth.

cc_rider: ...I'm not sure the state of Floriduh can handle all this "freedom" and "liberty", but please let there be lulz and plenty of popcorn.

And Jon Stewart will be there all week covering the event, live!

Here's hoping he sends the correspondents to local gay bars and strip clubs to see if they spot any familiar faces.

Arizona politics? Let me tell you about two Arizona senators.

Barry Goldwater. Tied to directly to the Mafia in Arizona. Called a lawyer 4 or 5 times the day a newspaper reporter was blown to bits in Phoenix. The lawyer Barry called hired the killers who murdered Don Bolles, that investigative journalist who wrote stories about Kemper Marley, Barry Goldwater's Mafia buddy.

John McCain. You remember Kemper Marley? Marley had a Mafia-connected guy do time in prison for him. That connected felon was award the largest liquor distributorship west of the Mississippi even though it was against the law for a convicted felon to hold a liquor distributorship. The Mafia guy's name was Jim Hensley. John McCain worked for Hensley, a convicted felon connected to the Mafia. John McCain also married the daughter of his boss. Maybe you've heard of her. Cindy McCain, the woman who wanted to be First Lady.

Yeah. Arizona politics stinks.

About my post above, the lawyer connected to all the people involved in the murder of Don Bolles was Neal Roberts. Here's a link about his testimony in a trial.

It's very sad that a reporter could be murdered by a crowd that included two Mafia-connected Arizona movers and shakers and two US senators only to see the big boys get away with murder.

Curious: the GOP convention will be peaceful and quiet. boring even.



I wouldn't quite go that far. I doubt there will be any fanfare from Ron Paul, but I would bet the crazies coming out of the woodwork will be interesting.

Nem Wan: The Republican party isn't democratic.

THIS!

How DARE you vote your conscience. You vote with the checkbook, or those millionaires and billionaires are just ordinary people. We paid the piper, now, Dance Monkey DANCE!

Ah, missed point.

So let me get this straight, the lawyers for the RPs are going to argue the RNC has to protect the "voting rights" of a handful of people by ignoring the "voting rights" of hundreds of thousands of voters?

I wonder if the lawyer making this argument can do so with a straight face?

What is it with the RPs that makes them completely unable to function in reality? It isn't like if somehow this lawsuit is successful that they are going to change anyone's mind and convince them to change their vote to Ron Paul.

Oh. POPCORN. At first I thought that was a bunch of baby chickens.

As noted in this thread, Paultard and Farktards... not a dime's worth of difference.

Wyalt Derp: Now I don't know whether to add RON PAUL Supporters to the List Of People And Things Conspiring Against The GOP And Therefore America, or add The GOP to the List Of People And Things Conspiring Against RON PAUL And Therefore America?

I think you need to just add sanity, critical thinking, reasonableness, decency, and "anybody that isn't a stark-raving lunatic that spouts our absurd bullshiat ad nauseum" to the list so you can be done with it. Then take a rest, you've put a lot of work into maintaining that thing and I say you've earned yourself a beer.

Why should delegates have to vote for the person that the people they represent voted for.

Ron Paul - Because Rules, laws and the Constitution are only important for the OTHER GUYS to follow!

fusillade762: They could always switch parties and vote for Obama...

Or vote Libertarian. Oh but the guy who is actually the Libertarian candidate is ACTUALLY a libertarian not a Neo-confederate like Ron Paul so they won't actually do that. Because he doesn't want to make official religions and ban the gays like Ron Paul does.

Hell, for that, I'll go TWO months.

Well she was an atheist so no one should care right? (just like the Mormons doing the postmortem baptisms right?)

If anyone is going to attempt this, just be careful to not slip in any of the jizz left there by the faithful. That would be a bad way to go.

Am I the only one getting tired of private political parties being mistaken for public (government) entities?

I mean, apart from them writing legislation ensuring we only have two functional parties. It took them 200 years to get that legislation nailed down.

WizardofToast: Some still haven't given in to Romney? And we're just a few months till the election?

Pass the popcorn cause this is gonna be good.

I wish. This is all sound and fury, signifying nothing. Romney will win the nomination without incident.

jpo2269: What is it with the RPs that makes them completely unable to function in reality? It isn't like if somehow this lawsuit is successful that they are going to change anyone's mind and convince them to change their vote to Ron Paul.

Even a private body has contractual obligations that should be met between members.

It could force them to change the tally of many votes back to Ron Paul like they were cast.

Remember some of the controversy in Maine? My favorite part is at about 3:18.

Ben Swann - Reality Check - Maine Caucus Vote Fraud Exposed!

eddiesocket: I wish. This is all sound and fury, signifying nothing. Romney will win the nomination without incident.

Maybe. But unless the GOP just straight out murders a statistically significant minority of the delegates, they are going to have to do something to appease the Paultards - we are, after all, talking about a group known for showing their asses at all times, and there is no way they can turn the cameras off for the entire convention ("for the third night straight, we are experiencing technical difficulties and can only show you a blank screen!"). So, the GOP will have to do something to make them happy: personally, I assume there will be a plank in the platform reading "N*ggers are property!"

And the Democrats should drag along a member of the "Ron Paul Is The True Messiah" Brigade to every news show they get invited to during the time-period of the convention. Introduce him/her as "a true and dedicated Republican", pull the pin, and walk away - having a "Republican" go all frothing psycho about the evil of Romney would be a marvelous piece of performance art by the Dems.

It has already gone beyond winning without incident.

New duly elected members have been thrown to the floor by the police in an illegal action brought about by the losers. Fingers have been broken.

When your own party can't play by its own rules, among its own members, something needs to be done. It is time to try and salvage what is left or move on.

StokeyBob: Even a private body has contractual obligations that should be met between members.

Considering you can join and leave the organization at will without either paying dues or suffering penalties, I don't think you can claim contractual damages because they did things you didn't like. The average person has more formal ties to the friends of their friends than they do to a political party, yet I would like to see you successfully convince a judge the friends of friends owe you for buying a car without accepting your input. Ultimately, letting people who go fill out a card at the local DMV vote for their private organization's leader is a social convention - it binds the GOP exactly as much as they choose it to. The GOP could quite legally just declare Romeny their nominee by fiat tomorrow; they don't because it would be a PR disaster*, but they can and Paultards would have to pound sand.

* That said, it might be the lesser evil of letting the Nutter Brigade get national airtime on the GOP's dime.

At this point I wouldn't put it past the GOP to, the minute Romney's nomination is official, declare the RON PAUL contingent to be protesters who are committing a felony by protesting too close to someone who has Secret Service protection.

I don't think it's likely, mind you, but I wouldn't put it past them.

There's more than a couple of parallels between Paultards and Bronies.
