How so? I thought they came to an agreement on the rules.

“How so? I thought they came to an agreement on the rules.”

I thought the “agreement” was to screw the Tea Party members along with like-minded conservatives.

There’s going to be a bunch of people drinking a big glass of reality, now that the loony dream of imposing a minority’s will on the majority finally has its head carried out on a pole. We’ve all seen this activity for months — oh, there’s going to be a convention fight, voting irregularities mean throwing out all results, other long hits on the bong — and it’s also been clear for months that it wasn’t going to happen that way.

During the primaries the most inutterable stupidities were uttered — that (fill in the blank, literally every last candidate except Romney himself) was “a stalking horse for Romney”. Everyone in all directions? RINOs. NeoCons. Pro-polymagy flip-flopping abortionist pornographers. There have been dozens or maybe hundreds of anti-LDS crap topics.

I haven’t yet voted for Romney.

In November I will, and will be happy to do it.

Zero has to go, because it’s quite literally him or us.

And “him or us” isn’t “lesser of two evils”. He has to go. Period.

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

They agreed to nothing. boehner violated rules of decorum and Robert's Rules of Order by overriding a dissenting majority screaming from the floor and proclaimed “unanimous consent”. Now any gop/e nominee can pick the electors that attend the convention and they have centralized control of the gop to only the elite. We were screwed tonight and didn't even get a kiss.

They did; but it is open so that Romney and his ilk can make the changes without our permission.

Actually, from the sound of the voice vote it appeared as though Boehner ignored the majority who voted against adopting the rules and then he declared them passed anyway. It sounds like a division was called for but that may have been ignored as well.

Through these, tyrannical new rules, the Republicans have for the first time in the party's history given the RNC and the Republican nominee the power to unilaterally change the rules of the GOP any time they want without even consulting the delegates of the National Convention. This new found power can thus be used to silence the grassroots so long as the all powerful RNC bosses decide that the delegates shouldn't be heard.
