135 Paul Delegates
Submitted by gavination on Wed, 09/03/2008 - 23:34
Being that the total number of GOP delegates is 2516. They announced 2 votes for Romney and 2379 for McEndofamericaasweknowit, that leaves 135 for Dr. Paul. It was amazing how they refused to acknowledge all but 11 of our delegates. We can do math over here you assholes. » |

GOP
The GOP is clearly a corrupt organization. I have seen and heard evidence of this from the senatorial and state conventions here in Texas. But, I think it will be easier to infiltrate the GOP than work through the Libertarian or Constitution parties. The Republicrats have effectively blocked those parties from any meaningful participation in the political process.
Anyway, let's start getting ready for 2010! Have to put everything we learned over the last 18 months and at the CFL to good use!
Thanks to all of you who attended the CFL and especially those of you who held your noses to represent our values at the GOP convention.
135 smart and principles people
Remember how the MSM reported we will have only a dozen delegates and supposedly how expensive one has paid for each delegate (over 1 m)..
... well this has turned out to be totally false.
The responsibility for this bad behaviour lies with the RNC, only a few people and they will get their blowback in November. They only made sure the overall majority of Ron Paul supporters will NOT vote for McCain.
Stay with the CFL in any case, whether you are registered as R, I, L, C etc. You do not have to vote for McCain if you are a Republican, but if you change your registration, keep the option open of going back to the GOP and see what happens. Dr. Paul would need the maximum number of people in the GOP to affect change: become a mayor etc. etc. and build up political experience to run for congress etc. in 2010. If the GOP does not reform to its roots, the CFL could always form a new political party, that will include most of the CP and LP as well, but this is for the future.

The republican party has shrunk considerably today. I'll be headed to the constitutional party.
WHERE'S YOUR HEART!
Don't let them run you off to some obsure party.
Ron Paul learned that lesson...now, it seems, many of us need to learn that lesson.
Ron Paul and his supporters did more in the past 15 months than all third parties combined have ever done.
What we need to do is get those good third party people back into the real fight!
Ron Paul is the great uniter, the income tax fighter...the military-supported, defender of the border...the political apathy solution and the champion of the Constitution! Doctor Paul is on-call!
Registering As An Independent
I will be registering as an Independent shortly. F the GOP.
Same here. Both the
Same here. Both the Republicans and Libertarians have been given over to corruption (to say nothing of the Democrats, who were never on my plate anyway).

Delegate count reduced from 2516 to 2379
Go to http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P08/R-Alloc.phtml This explains the delegate count. It appears that some States had some of there delegates reduced due to party violations.
I am also very disappointed with the RNC. I am a Nevada delegate and part of the Revolution. Keep on with the Liberty Movement. We have just started.

Delegates
I will respond to two comments. First, that there were 11 delegates, secondly, why was nothing said.
There were 5 delegates, I was one of them. There should have been many more but it's late and I'm too tired and too pissed to address that right now. One thing that I must say publicly, is that our state party chairman, honored his word to announce the Paul delgates. This was a fairly large political risk for someone who does not know us and and has a lot to lose by doing this. I have to give credit where credit is due. Thank you Vance.
Secondly, why nothing was said. I didn't want to go to jail. Again this falls under the it's late and I'm too tired and too pissed to address it right now category.
All I can say right now is we have a lot of work to do. But as pissed as I am, there are some very good reasons to be optimistic and hopeful.
Could you explain the "I
Could you explain the "I didn't want to go to jail" comment?

THANK YOU, THANK YOU
You were one of our soldiers in the trenches and I'm sure they did all they could to drag you guys down. But remember...ALASKA was the FIRST state mentioned during roll call, and they DID mention Ron Paul.
I ALMOST FELL OUT OF MY CHAIR.

Thanks for posting this.
I look forward to hearing what happened. I'm glad Vance followed through on his word. There still are some people that are fair and honest, even if they are voting for someone else. I have spent most of my adult life voting Republican. I am shocked by the unethical behavior I have seen at all levels. Where have all the honest people gone?
Dear Sandelie, Thank you for your effort!!!
I hope in a short time you can expound on the things you are to pissed off about. I would love to hear all about the convention. Please tell us all about it and how we can learn from it and change things the next time!!!!!!

I'd definitely like to know
I'd definitely like to know what the 'going to jail' comment was about. Please rest well and fill us in with the details as soon as you can.

Some woman was escorted out
By about 5 men in suits during Palin's speech.
Maybe if more people got arrested at least there would have been something to all this money and time spent.

Actually
in the end the guy announced 5 for Ron Paul. But I was listening for fewer than allocated votes cast and did not hear the shortages as they went through roll call. Wish they would post the roll call somewhere.

The DP is proof that the grassroots support for Ron Paul and his peaceful message of individual liberty is large, real, and not going away!
Use the McCain line, not the "others" line.
