Romney to challenge Maine results

THEY PROMISED ROMNEY the nomintaion in 2008 so they are LYING NOW to try to make it happen.

I WILL NEVER-NEVER-NEVER EVER vote for Romney.

They're criminals.
Let's start getting Romney's counterfeit slate out in public view and see if he still wants to play.

Basically, I've had it up to here with Romney and all his goons, and if we can't settle this in the Convention Hall in Tampa, then I'm ready to take it out to the parking lot.
This is all out war.

I attended the Maine GOP with a number of Ron Paul supporters. I urge every one that took pictures or video to post it where you can but make sure its protected for later use. I swear if I had not been there I would not of believed the level of deception, fraud, disrespect, hatred the Republican establishment showed the Ron Paul supporters. Ron Paul would be so proud of the manner in wish his supporters handled themselves in response to blatant hate and anger from quite a few self proclaimed Rommey supporters. We were organized and followed EVERY rule. But I tell you it was horrible to experience but it sure did solidify my resolve I will NOT support this corrupt party and I will NOT give my vote away to pressure. And I would be in the other side of fifty crowd. God Bless Ron Paul

I was the Portland Delegate chair at the convention, won Cumberland Committeeman and won one of the 1st District alternate spots to the national convention. I was also working my butt off with all the rest of my amazing fellow Maine patriots from dawn to dusk getting these results.

TO THE POINT-> I just want everyone to be clear on this whole ridiculous idea of Romney "challenging" the results. It's a bunch of BS. Both days were completely video and paper documented by multiple sources. One of the parliamentarians working with Brent is one of the top parliamentarians in the world hired by the RNC specifically to rule on conventions.

We spoke with him after it was over and he was the one who explained to us how to successfully adjourn the meeting when we had a bit of an issue with Romney's lawyers holding up one of the ballot counts. This parliamentarian even told Brent he thought he was an 8 out of 10 for chairs he's worked with. And that was Brent's first time ever chairing something of this magnitude! YOU ROCK BRENT TWEED!!!!!

So, this is nonsense to distract us and poorly veiled bullying tactics which is what they also tried during the convention. They're just grasping at straws to continue the ridiculous pretense that mittens is going to win the nomination.

Please upvote this reply, and/or turn this into a thread, and definitely pass this info around. We won Maine for Ron Paul and we will be seated with the results of 20/24 delegates and 21/21 alternates.

Oh and Charles Cragin is a Mitt Romney hack who was paid just to railroad us at the convention. Sorry whiney baby. NOT!!! I know those 4 votes cost you a crapload of money. LOL

FREEDOM!

I want to thank every liberty loving, Ron Paul supporting delegate at the Convention this weekend who voted for the full Ron Paul National Delegate Slate. If you check out the names on the slate and look at my name, you will see who I will supporting in Tampa :-)

Charlie Webster chaired the meeting up until he ran the vote that put Tweed in. So that cannot be contested.
From that point on the Romney people cast objections and point of orders that were frivolous and meant to disrupt and delay the procedures.
After lunch, the less-motivated Romney supporters did not return and the Paul people had a clear numbers advantage. By the second day the advantage was even more clearly noticeable as were the Romney attacks on the chair. Romney people were disruptive to the point that after the vote of no confidence was clearly put down, Chairman Tweed quoted several passages from Robert's Rules of Order, that, in layman terms simply said, that when the proceedings are being continually interrupted by the same voices those voices may be ruled out of order without discussion and may be not heard at all.
In several instances this was done, but usually Tweed would hear the objection so it could not be said that he was biased.
Most of the room felt the bias was in favor of Romney supporters! (in an attempt to not show bias toward Paul) e.g., day one the proceedings were delayed by the hundreds of Romney people who arrived late and were still in the registration line more than an hour past most. But the process waited so that they could all get in. Everything was being delayed by Romney people who tried to shut down the convention at several different times- obviously they wanted NO delegates assigned and Maine NOT represented rather than have a sweep by Ron Paul delegates which was the obvious destiny!
My UStream videos may certainly come in handy if there are any procedural challenges. I have roughly 90+% of the two days.

are a bunch of general accusations of "things" that the RP people did being illegal. Has anyone heard or read what specific things they did that were illegal? I would really like to know what rules were broken, because I've been under the impression that our people pretty much play straight by the book.

and the RNC have been cheating from the get go,but i guess that's alright.It's only when the Paul campaign wins by going by the rules that we've got a problem.Rule breaker Romney should not be allowed to continue,and the RNC board should be arrested to a person.

In the 2008 contest, Romney won 52 percent of the Maine caucuses, more than double John McCain's 21 percent and Paul's 19 percent. But McCain left the 2008 state convention with 20 delegates, leaving Paul with one. Three were uncommitted.
