They are designed to cut any influence by normal republicans from all important processes.
Finally, whether adopted or not, THEY SHOW THE HEART of the liberals running the Romney show.
Only one purpose in this: get rid of anyone in their way not speaking their speak.
Only one purpose in this: roll over top of anything in their way.
Gary Johnson, because he ain't Romney or Obama
There was no coup. The issue has been resolved as of 12 hours ago.
The GOP shows their hand. The grassroots must really have them scared if they are willing to take away the power of the people...their constituents.
LOL..are we still “no third party?”
If they are so afraid we could upend nomination events...are we close enough to truly tell them to go to hell in a hand-basket yet?
Romney is just being the big dog in the fight.
Isn't becoming to whine about losing.
Why would a conservative want to lock the tea party out?
(((((PING)))))
Anything else is suicide.
Let’s hope Paul Ryan will say everything Romney won’t.
I said this many months ago...
the election of mcromney will mark the end of the conservative / constitutionalist movement..
His goal is to destroy those that do not agree with him, as is the gop-e..
the democrat socialist and the republican socialist have one thing in common... the destruction of the constitutionalist movement..
so, which socialist is better for us?
He won the Primary, he gets to set the rules. My guess is this is more Paulite sour grapes. Ron Paul lost get over it.
Pray for America
Over before it started.
It didn’t take long for Wrongney’s true colors to come out, did it?
The RNC has historically been a confederation of the state/territorial parties, with each state/territory electing a national committeeman, national committeewoman, and state chairman. These three are the actual Members of the RNC. Each state/territory has equal weight, so liberal Republicans from CT or RI have as much influence as paleos from TX or GA. That’s the usual grumble on the right.
The core institutional responsibility of the RNC and, by extension, all RNC Members, is to support duly nominated Republican candidates. Paleo, RINO, or in between should make no difference. If you have an R after your name, the RNC should support you in the general. Most of us are prepared to accept the rare exception when something truly weird happens in a primary, or when someone Akins himself, but the exceptions should be few and far between. And once the presidential nominee is decided, the RNC is supposed to become his vehicle, period.
That system has served us reasonably well over time. Does anyone know what is motivating the desire for change?
Finally, whether adopted or not, THEY SHOW THE HEART of the liberals running the Romney show.As odious as that first bullet point is. How would you like this:
- allow presidential campaigns to, in essence, “fire” duly elected delegates they don’t like and replace them with individuals of their own choosing
Now that's pretty undemocratic and downright dictatorial, isn't it. Yet that's what happened in Illinois from 1999-2000 through 2008. And the executor of those dictatorial orders was none other than Karl Rove!! First from Dubya's Campaign then from the White House.
Yes. I have NO LOVE for Karl Rove. He gave IL to the RATS! For the previous 20-30 years Republicans ran the high offices of IL! Mostly Governor/Lt Gov and like Sec of State, and that kept the Daley Machine somewhat in check.Rove had a special close friend, KJ, who basically ran the IL GOP Board. But KJ turned out to be a FELON and crony of Democrat Blago and is now sitting in Federal Prison for collusion on a Blago Bond sale scam. But that didn't stop Rove, no siree. When KJ was under federal indictment, Rove appointed his FELON friend KJ as Treasurer of the 2004 GOP Convention. (These are the facts, not something I dreamed up.)
Now I'm sure that Rove had many special close friends like that in other states too and similar things occurred. So what's now being made public with delegates was basically happening with Candidates who would be allowed to run. Heck just think back of some of Rove's comments about Tea Party candidates. He detests them all.
Hey Romney, if we wanted Obama we would re-elect him.
I’ve come to the conclusion that there are not any good guys in this fight for the presidency and havent’t been for a long time. Both parties are attempting to destroy the middle and working classes.
It is time to make it known that we will not put up with this behavior from either side and clean up this mess we’ve allowed them to make by closing our eyes and avoiding that responsibility.
Limbaugh now speaking about RNC trying to stack the vote this afternoon. They do not want any influence from the “regular” Tea Party and other conservative and libertarian groups. They think we are amateurs and should not put in “our two cents worth”.
I have one thing to say, then I’ll shut up.
There are many of us here on this forum who basically swore that we wouldn’t vote for Romney. Who feel that the man is your basic RINO and can’t be trusted once in office, e.g. that he’ll appoint liberal judges etc etc.
I was one of these people...until he chose Paul Ryan. Now I’m so fired up, that I feel like rolling around in the grass with my legs in the air.
Please, FOLKS. Let’s give the guy a chance. He still needs to win over a huge group of Independents in there. Once he’s elected he will tack back to the right as people like Ryan and others will assure that.
I also think that he will do some things, like appoint Sarah and Newt, Huck and others in his administration.
I’m just saying, now is a time to unite, get the imposter out, and start three generations of prosperity that will remind the world of what it was like to live in the Age of Pericles.
