Greta: Is the Florida Primary NOT OVER?????

Posted on 02/01/2012 4:04:58 PM PST by Jim Robinson

"See below what I received from FNC Carl Cameron! This is really wild! More possible Florida election problems?"

Tampa, FL — Florida’s primary might not be over just yet.

The Newt Gingrich campaign is gearing up to challenge the results of the florida primary based on the Republican National Committee’s own rules which state that no contest can be winner take all prior to April 1, 2012. (See attached RNC memo.)

The Gingrich campaign plans to challenge Florida’s winner take all status & demand proportional allocation of delegates.

Fox News has learned that Thursday, a Florida Gingrich campaign official will begin the process of trying to have the RNC rules enforced so that the Sunshine State delegates are proportionately allocated.

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus warned Florida Republican Party Chairman Lenny Curry of the violation in a December letter quoting the rule, “…’winner-take-all’ states cannot hold a primary or caucus before April 1, 2012.”

to be honest Hillary was treated like crap in many states and especially NV where they found a lot of cheating and she complained only for the DNC to ignore it all.

By rights Hillary should have got the nomination not this cheating done nothing in his life and I have never had a job MO

As best as I can tell, if the delegates are swapped to a proportional system, then this would be the breakdown for Florida:

Romney: 23
Gingrich: 16
Santorum: 7
Paul: 4

“How sweet would it be if Romney spent $17million to buy a state that isn’t even winner take all?”

Very. Even better for Ron Paul and Rick Santorum who pick up some delegates for free.

Are Newt and Santorum even on the Missouri primary ballot? What’s the point of even voting next week? I’m embarrassed by our state. We look like a bunch of morons.

A few years back it was on the ballot as "Everything BUT marriage" The west side of our state (Seattle) has all the votes and that passed. The homos and a man and woman who lived together got ALL the privilages as if they were married. That isn't enough for the QUEERS. They want to destroy the meaning of marriage.

I am hearing if the Legislature passes it that we may get a referendum on the ballot against it but like I said liberal Seattle has all the votes.

I don't know about Santorum, but Newt isn't. If you have local or state issues on the ballot then you should diffently vote. In Missouri are you able to put in a write in name? If so write in Newt.

Speaking of Fox News, I just saw Brit Hume totally trashing Newt and bringing up stuff about how the people in the House with him don’t like him ...

I want to know what Brit Hume is at Fox now? If he’s still a newsman, should he be making these kinds of comments?

I know he hates Newt but aren’t news people supposed to be a little ‘fair and balanced?’

Or maybe his status is just guest commentator now.

Anyway, he was ticking me off.

I am pretty sure he is just a guest commentator. His hatred for Newt definitely comes through.

Well, the D’s already had a woman run for VPOTUS; they needed a black, or half black would do. Whether D or R, I am damned sick of their selecting candidates based on gender/race/ethnicity/religion. Worse, I am tired of people voting by gender/race/ethnicity/religion.

Someone told me that painting is not historically accurate. A historically accurate one is now temporarily hanging in the New-York Historical Society building, if it’s not gone already.

the problem is that it is not just marriage, they use that as a stepping stone and MA is a perfect example.

I’d go in to it more but it is late here for me, but I will say this.

In MA and Massmike and others can tell you from there that marriage is used as a stepping stone.

Once marriage is passed then they say it is law teach the kids in public schools, the bar exam in MA had a uy fail it because he refused to answer what marriage was, kids as young as 5 were being taught that it is OK for two men to play mommies and daddies, kids were told that parents were adults who did cross dressing etc.

I think the website is called mass resistance .

Some states like mine got it on the ballot, other states like MA got it legal by not allowing the public to vote, all states which voted , voted marriages is between one man and one woman .

I’ve never been to your state or the west coast but correct if I am wrong, your state is beautiful but the problem is that Seattle has a very vocal active lunatic fringe, regarding animals right to trees to marriage .

This site will tell you how they use marriage as a stepping stone how the queers have manipulated the public and the law and how you can defeat this by getting the people to vote.

You’ll be surprised at how many oppose this but stay silent due to them feeling intimidated by the homostapo.

There is a freeper on here who is very active , the name is, little jeremiah.

Queers can live with each other, they can have all what they want like us but they want to destroy marriage and the use that as a stepping stone in their agenda

here is link, hope it works out for you.

"Rebellion to Tyrants is obedience to God"

Reverse side of the First Committee U.S. seal proposal.

The first committee consisted of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams.

Franklin chose an allegorical scene from Exodus, described in his notes as "Moses standing on the Shore, and extending his Hand over the Sea, thereby causing the same to overwhelm Pharaoh who is sitting in an open Chariot, a Crown on his Head and a Sword in his Hand. Rays from a Pillar of Fire in the Clouds reaching to Moses, to express that he acts by Command of the Deity." Motto, "Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God."

It has been recently said that a Rebellion is Brewing.
