Sooooooooooooooo, Romney is going to destroy the Republican Party in order to save it?

This won’t sit well with folks that liked a Constitutional Republic.

Looks like a floor fight well worth having.

If the Elites won’t allow a floor fight, then we will verbally fight them at their stump speeches, that is, if they want to represent us.

Hmmmmmmmm, one good knock down floor fight, or many, many stump speech verbal fights?

Your choice, Romney.

Tick-Tock.

Sarah’s FB is on it now. She’s directing people to Michelle’s column.

1) Delegates will be bound to vote in proportion to the popular vote regardless of any other considerations.

If Sarah Palin or Jim DeMint were the nominee wouldn't this be a good thing to ensure the system isn't gamed against them?

2) The presumed nominee or his agents will be able to remove or replace delegates from state conventions at will.

If they were bound delegates wouldn't I want to make sure they were actually loyal to me?

3) The members of the RNC may, at any time between conventions change any of the party rules by a 3/4 vote.

Between conventions? No way, simple as that.

NO WAY JOSE!!!! 3/4 vote? Pulueeeeeze. If the RNC chairman wants a rule change, the board will rubber stamp it.
