Just one of romney’s keyboard commandos.

Considering the rest of Romney's Obama style behavior, it shouldn't be any surprise.

This could be a coincidence. Or it could have been on purpose.

But could they have postponed the vote due to delegates having an emergency being lost...

It looks like the RNC Convention is a disaster from the very start. Ron Paul, Tea Party dissed, delegates not showing up. Who is running this mess?

Was the driver lost, or just off track? GPS also may not be of much good due to street closures and such. Making one bad turn can screw you up in a downtown area under normal circumstances (one way streets). I wouldn’t be too quick to holler conspiracy and demand the guys head on a platter

Not a complete disaster. Artura Davis and Mia Love gave very good speeches last night. Ann Romney and Chris Christie also did well.

But the rules fight, that was a power grab by the GOPe. Disgusting.

It isn't a surprise to anyone with open eyes and an objective mind.

The International Globalist Banker Cabal contacted their operatives at the RAND Corporation and had them fire up Project HAARP to instigate an episode of mental confusion in the driver.

To make matters worse, after the voice vote, there were delegates who (by established rules) voiced an objection and called for a roll-call vote. By RNC rules, if there are objections after a voice-vote, they must conduct a roll call vote. Speaker Boehner (with Sununu in the background) ignored the objections and declared the rules had passed.

You just got a glimpse of Moscow politics....enjoy!!!!

Michelll Malkin’s tweets gives a good detail of all of the dirty tricks Romney’s thugs did to get the rules passed.

“Who is running this mess?”

It is not a mess. It is meant to look like a mess. In fact, the GOP nomenklatura are getting everything they want. Everything.

Boehner was going to give that vote to Romney anyway. There were more Nos than Yeas, but he gave it to the Yeas anyway. Boehner is dishonest, everyone who saw/heard that vote knows it, and he needs to be removed as speaker.

Now, I have to say something about the busses. A friend owns a bus Company that is hired for the RNC. He said that he is getting busses and drivers from out of state.

It is hard for people in DOWNTOWN TAMPA to drive around (we live near the TB Times Forum), so if the VA people had an out of State driver, he could get lost.

The CA RNC people are at a hotel (The Hampton) near my office< so they can hope on the trolley to get there. Some of the others are in hotels 50 miles away!! (Florida is at Innisbrook Resort.)
