Guys, I am the first to jump on the GOP-elite when they backstab conservatives. I'm even sometimes at the front of the parade.
But I have certain information that might show that the GOP-e wasn't all too keen on some of the rules changes that got us so upset.
In fact, Romney's team might have been trying to avoid some of this stuff. I need to do more homework (there is a freeper who is my main source for this, and he's NOT GOP-machine whatsoever. If he wishes credit, I will be glad to give it to him).
Wait for my Freeper Editorial in the next day, two days at the most. I'm really glad I held my fire until facts started to come to light.
We need an entirely NEW Republican National Committee ~ only way to handle this problem.
At the end of the day, no one will have supported it.
The Tyranny Fairy did it.
I would love to hear more, Laz. All the rage and histrionics about this from the usual suspects have shed more heat than light. Seeing some real analysis rather than screeds from frothing Paulestinians would be useful.
This wasn’t underhanded - it was an open motion that was publicly argued and settled. The underhanded one was Ron Paul, who has either learned from or taught the Occutards.
“Would the girls be included as we”
Well, I are a girl and in the NYC metro area the general address “guys” or “you guys” or even “youse guys” is assumed to include the gals also.
One might even address an all female gaggle as “you guys” or at least I would.
It’s the yankee version of “y’all”.
Looking forward to reading your editorial. I lost a longtime friend over this.
Please ping me when you post this.
The rules affect others ~
Can’t a guy do a little raz on laz without getting educated unnecessarily? Sheesh.
For your information, this use of “Guys” isn’t relegated to the East, or West, coasts...
Five days ago Mitt formally changed his abortion position to “health of the mother’, which is a euphemism for ‘abortion on demand’.
Life I always say, don't forget the homosexual Boy Scout Leaders.
We've been had.
Taking advantage of “loopholes,” otherwise known as “the rules as written.” At least until they change them when you start winning.
What would it have cost them to let Ron Paul have 15 minutes behind the podium? Certainly less than their brazen tactics against Constitutional conservatives, in the long run.
They had bent over backwards to placate Paul. However, his tactics all along were aimed at nullifying the vote of the electors, and while I doubt that he thought he could win, he planned for maximum disruption.
I still don’t like Romney, but Ron Paul is one of the reasons that we ended up with Romney.
The party cannot be sacrificed again to the whims of a nutcase. Ron Paul should never even have been accepted as a GOP candidate, but because we have a track record of letting cranks derail us, he saw his opening and he took it. I hope this seals up that opening.
I’m not defending Romney on this or anything else.
After Ron Paul delegates helped Code Pink get into the convention, even his tribute video should have been stripped from the convention.
I understand there is a hearing today in Main to punish the Ron Paul delegates for their actions at the convention.
When you claim that conservatives are forcing Romney to the right and achieving a lot, I felt the need to point out that Romney is reverting to his liberalism as we speak.
In the last couple of weeks, with out even getting into his control of the convention and erasing the first republican female veep, Romney has formally gone back to his pro-abortion position, and let us know that he still wants homosexual Scout masters.
Sure it was...

Awaiting your story with bated breath, whatever that is. I’m pretty PO’ed based on what I heard. But information has been darned hard to get on this subject.
In those couple weeks has there been any change in Obama’s position on anything, any change in the nation’s current tragic economic condition, any improvement in any of several dangerous situations overseas? And, has it turned out someone else won the long and arduous GOP primary season or that a third party has a snowball’s chance in hell of winning the presidency?
