Nev. GOP recesses state convention, angering Paul supporters

31 minutes ago

RENO, Nev. (AP) — Outmaneuvered by raucous Ron Paul supporters, Nevada Republican Party leaders abruptly shut down their state convention and now must resume the event to complete a list of 31 delegates to the GOP national convention.

Outnumbered supporters of expected Republican presidential nominee John McCain faced off Saturday against well-organized Paul supporters. A large share of the more than 1,300 state convention delegates enabled Paul supporters to get a rule change positioning them for more national convention delegate slots than expected.

"I've seen factions walk out. I've never seen a party walk out," said Jeff Greenspan, regional coordinator for the Paul campaign.

Delegates cheered earlier in the day as former presidential hopeful Mitt Romney urged support for McCain. Later, though, Paul got even louder applause as he delivered his message of individual freedom and fiscal responsibility.

State Sen. Bob Beers, the convention chairman, was booed loudly as he called for a recess Saturday evening. He said that the party's rental contract for a big meeting room at a Reno hotel-casino had expired and there was too much work left to complete.

State GOP Chairwoman Sue Lowden said the rules change wasn't anticipated. She denied any anti-Paul bias, saying expected slates of national delegates were prepared through a fair and open process by the convention's nominations committee and the party thought the convention would accept them.

State GOP Chairwoman Sue Lowden's profile

I Googled State GOP Chairwoman Sue Lowden. Interesting choice.

"Miss New Jersey 1973 and second runner-up in the Miss America pageant, Lowden has what many beauty queens distinctly lack: brains. After touring with Bob Hope and the USO in places like Vietnam and earning a Master’s degree from Farleigh Dickinson University, she went on to spend 10 years as a reporter and anchorwoman for KLAS-TV Channel 8. She and her husband Paul for a time owned the Sahara hotel-casino, and over the years, Lowden has been consistently recognized for her work with the Muscular Dystrophy Association. From 1992 to 1996, she served as a Nevada State Senator, and continues to serve as Executive Vice President of Archon Corporation, a gaming company."

Don't Gavel Me Bro!!!!!!!!!!!

After lunch, when the party knew we were winning congressional district delegates they started using stalling tactics. We saw some lame ass Newt Gingrich video, heard from a speaker and even a saw short little video skit. There was also tons of dead time. They were just biding their time to gavel us...

The speaker later admitted to a Paulite that she was supposed to speak at 2:30pm but then was asked to wait until 5:30pm.

just called the Peppermill in Reno, nevada the

Convention is going on, if you are a delegate, please go to the Peppermill before it is to late, the people who work there were unfamiliar because they came on shift. They say they are upstairs NOW!!!

Then contact info@ap.org and ask them to correct their mistake.

On the bright side

A great number of people who came to support McCain and thought of RP supporters as "Conspiracy theorists" have now seen the corruption right in front of their faces. They watched the whole thing. This is going to make some waves within the McCain campaign

When we go to the Convention Sept 1-4 we should also do this!!!!

If anyone had the brains they would quit screwing around and organize the biggest mass support gathering for the GOP convention. And I mean every single last Ron Paul supporter that has 2 legs goes and surround the convention and make those antiquated GOP neocon supporting asswipes piss their pants for fear of their lives and demand that they cut loose that sack of manure McCain and rally around Ron Paul against whatever Dem is nominated. Has to be at least one million people enough to paralyze movement for miles around the convention. No need to grovel for a permit or to be herded into a "protest zone" like they have already arranged.Done the same move in my hometown when the city father saw fit to try force water meters on private property wells that were dug and paid for property owners to try to make us pay for our own water. You should have seen the look of fear on their faces in the hall,priceless and yeah they backed off. This could be done at the convention. But you say "But I might get arrested or someone might get hurt" if thing were to get out of hand.So what over a million Iraqi's have been killed for naught,not to mention all of our troops and we will be fortunate if the George& Dick show don't fire up things in Iran.Look at the havoc this Admin has done to our inherent rights with crap like the "Patriot Act", Fisa, the hundreds of lies to go to war.Look at what the media has done to Ron Paul at the debates, and also all the shit the GOP is pulling state by state.They have taken away our vote with electronic machines proven to be faulty and easily rigged.No but were probably going to roll over and take it up the wazoo and beg for a kiss afterward because this country is sick from the inside out and is probably too far gone because there are not many real men left here in the good ol USA,but there might be a remnant big enough. Do you for one second think that any of the founders would have put up with any of this crap?
Dubya would have either been impeached or hung at the first major act of treason if they had any say in things.McCain cannot win against the dems, no if's and or buts and if Rons not in the position we are screwed and there won't be enough time to turn things around 4 years later. By 2012 our economy will have collapsed and this country will be over with.

Great idea but I understand

Great idea but I understand there's a 7 block no protest zone. True there could be protesters breaking that barrier but not all RP supporters will want to do that. Especially those with kids.

Yeah a 'fair' list tilted toward the unpopular McCrap and company.

They ducked and covered. As simple as that.

lets get rid of Sue Lowden as well

"FAIR AND OPEN" my foot.

I hate the MSM

I'm pretty sure Ron Paul supporters were the ones who gave the MSM this information. They were saying that all over RPF. Listen! These people are not your friends! Have you been watching this entire election? Don't run to the MSM with a story an expect them not to spin it against us.
