[House Atreides]

“Really. I’m beginning to think Paulbots and Occupiers are sisters under the skin. When I voted in the Ohio primary there was a Paulbot there, wearing a campaign T-shirt (illegal and well known to be so) who made a stink about having to cover it up. Narcisistic twentysomething d-bag who had to make a scene, in a tiny precinct in a small town voting place. What ails these jerk-offs.”
********************************************************

My very limited experience (I know, it might not be representative) with some local Paulbots reminded me very much of some followers of Lyndon LaRouche I’ve encountered when going to the main Baltimore post office. I’m beginning to think there may be some “interbreeding/intermixing” between the membership of these groups. Or maybe they just draw from the same type of personality?

And, from the reporting I’ve seen, it seems that some Saul Alinsky type tactics are beginning to be employed by SOME of the Paulbot and Mittbot groups. The end justifies the means, don’t you know? Power at all costs!

Things may get VERY INTERESTING in the lead up to Tampa.

When someone is trying to run a railroad, a bit of disruption is never out of place.

Never agree to the ground rules that someone has pre-arranged. Bring your Roberts Rules and have some fun.

So when will that St. Charles County caucus be postponed to?

Why no results yet from elsewhere in the state?

Why no results yet from elsewhere in the state? ______________________________________________________________ I was just reading about that a short time ago. The way the Missouri GOP has the process set up: Each county has three (3) days to submit their winners in the county caucuses. Then the winners declare their candidate, but they don't have to declare at all. Anyhow, it's a mess and the article I read said the accurate, Delegate count might not be until the third or fourth week of April.

That’s a mystery about results...been looking online and haven’t seen anything.

I don’t know about any postponement. Not sure how it’s going to be handled.

That is exactly what I thought, having seen it first hand. These people are "agents provocateurs".

So when will that St. Charles County caucus be postponed to?

I believe we are done. The rest of the state delegates will choose the national delegates and St. Charles County will have no voice.

I believe this incident was well planned and expected by both sides and the result as well. The plurality was for Santorum, so the Paul and Romney people ganged up and shut it down.

I live in St. Charles County, MO and you are correct. The federal government has been moving people from St. Louis City and St. Louis County into St.Charles for years and paying their rent and feeding them when they get here. We have always been a strong Republican county but if the federal government has it’s way that could change in the future.

Caucuses are lame. Every state needs to use primaries, period. They should not have a choice.
