Betrayal at CO GOP

This just came through in Colorado from a recent Republican breakfast. I do not know who posted it in the MUGs, but being a Colorado Delegate, I am incensed...

Hello,

On Saturday morning, May 10, 2008, I attended the District 1 Annual
meeting of the Colorado Federation of Republican Women. Unbeknownst to me, the 2-hour meeting would end up being an atrocious display of anti-Republican behavior.

In this letter, I will give the details from the meeting that were
repugnant. Before I begin, I feel compelled to state that I could not
believe I was in the presence of Liberty-loving people who stood by and were involved in this complicity. As the Republican National Committee Party Rules state (in the first paragraph), "BE IT RESOLVED, That the Republican Party is the party of the open door. Ours is the party of liberty, the party of equality of opportunity for all and favoritism for none."

The headlining speaker was Michael Eddy from the McCain campaign. I knew something was fishy about this person, as the card attached to each of the 30-some roses he had delivered to the meeting on behalf of the McCain campaign had, on one side, a personal endorsement to support him as a delegate to the State or CD Assembly/Convention.

Mike spent the last quarter of his speech discussing his knowledge about the "large contingency" of Ron Paul supporters in Colorado. He said he was fine with electing people who were Romney supporters to be National delegates, but not Ron Paul supporters. He said delegates should be "loyal" Republicans and Ron Paul supporters are not. He said we should not elect people as delegates who will get to the National Convention and "light their hair on fire". He said Ron Paul supporters would be a disgrace to the Republican Party.

He went on to state that they know that there are about 50 delegates for Ron Paul who will be at the CD 1 Assembly. He brought up what occurred with another state's convention and said that the National organization (RNC) is working closely with the remaining states' organizations to ensure Ron Paul delegates do not get elected. He said the National Committee will be having a conference call with the Colorado State Republican Party Committee on Monday (5/12) to discuss this. He further explained that they would accomplish this by changing the Rules prior to the convention and additionally coming up with their own slate.

After Mike spoke, other members in attendance echoed his inflammatory statements about Ron Paul supporters. Ruth Dolan, president, spoke in agreement with Mike Eddy's statements, as well as other officers. One officer warned everyone to be very "prudent" because there are people among us whom are "wolves in sheep's clothing".

I recognized other Ron Paul supporters in the room, so I know I was not the only one who left the meeting in complete disgust that Republicans could conspire against other Republicans in such a way. This is energy that should be directed towards Democrats, not fellow Republicans!

Until the Election is Won!

As I have proposed before...

Petition the Colorado Secretary of State to have the Republican presidential candidate decertified (thus not appear on the ballot), if these tactics continue.

Mike Coffman?

I'm not sure that would work.

These are tactics that

These are tactics that should not be used against any American. We should listen to each other's thoughts and ideas with respect and chart the best course for our nation through taking the best ideas. This is what civil discourse is. Both parties our for a continuation of the status and will use any means to repress change.

This is why the working through the party thought a lot of posters have here will not work. Both parties are rotten with corruption. We need a new movement, a movement that is indeed much more with our American values than this current setup.

I've been flamed on this before.....

Recently awakened, always vigilant.
If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention!
--------------------------------
....but I will write this again: STOP THINKING PARTY!!!!!! Both sides are now the same...they play for the same team and have the same agenda. That team is the CFR. Only 4 people in the race aren't in "The Club": Gravel, Kucinich, Paul and Nader. We all know why we're here on this site, and that's to make sure we get our man on the podium in November!
I hate to say this, but because the opposition (all Republicrats) have resorted to dishonesty to get where they are, so must we!!
From here on out, we need to smile, nod and agree...stay right down the middle of the McCain path until November....then we all come piling out of our big wooden horse, and STOMP THOSE FREAKIN' BASTARDS INTO THE MUD WHERE THEY BELONG!!!!!!
Love,
BC

By the people, for the people?

We have allowed our country to be taken over by vermin and sociopaths. It's time to take it back. They're just like kids changing the rules of a game they're losing. Democracy? A Republic? Try fascism via Diebold.... F.U. necons, and Go Ron Paul.

everyone pretend they are mccain supporters!

until the final moment. follow nevada!

Verified:

I'm a Delegate from Colorado, also; and 2 of my fellow Del. were at that meeting. We have taken it up with several Committee Members and several Candidates running for Office. They were very apologetic about what was said and plan to ask the Individuals for an apology. One of the people that made comments is running for National Del.in the CD 1, Remember His Name Michael Eddy. When you go to the State and CD1 talk about him out loud like he was promoting Ron Paul. That will be the way to show our displeasure.

Stay hidden.

You are under no obligation to show yourselves to the traitors.

Keep chipping away -- we are with you.

I'm from Colorado, and if I

I'm from Colorado, and if I was still living there today (like I wish I was), I'd be pissed off, and they'd be hearing a piece of my mind.

So

I know this is none of my business, but if you don't mind me asking, where do you live now?

I believe its possible RP

I believe its possible RP supporters could really make some progress in the remaining primaries if our turnout is high enough, but then again the old timers in the GOP will be trying even harder to stop them.
Something I have noticed, the people who really do a lot of research on the internet often end up as RP supporters, those who rely on the msm(t.v. and newspapers) end up supporting some other CFR candidate for president(because they never even find out the whole story about the CFR in the msm controlled media)who wants a north american union and eventually a one world government. The internet can really wake people up to whats really going on(though you have to research carefully to keep clear of dubious info, like stories about Leo Wanta and his trillions of dollars). If you rely on the msm for your news, you'll always be kept in the dark and will never know whats really going on in this country, and unfortunately, most americans still rely too much on the msm and don't do enough internet research. Thank God we still have the internet, I hope they are never able to hush up the internet to where we'll all be in the dark again without having a way to find out whats REALLY going on.

Don't think they aren't trying.

Their damnedest to regulate the internet.

We can all say what needs to be done, but who here led by example today?

holographic orginization baffles them and gives them nightmares

Fortune Favors the Bold

really.

Didn't know that term

Until now. How does this correlate to RP supporters in your eyes? I have an idea just not sure yet.

our orginizational structure

Fortune Favors the Bold

is holographic, not top-down. each part contains elements of the whole. Like a hologram, where each piece of holographic paper contains the image of the whole hologram.

See?

The whole "I am Ron Paul" concept? It's absolutely true!! We are each, individually, a microcosm of the entire revolution. Kind of like...the Borg. Ha!!

They know the GOP has

They know the GOP has absolutely no chance without Ron Paul and our revolution. Rallying behind McCain will sink the GOP this year and they will only be able to blame themselves.

already sunk

Rallying behind McCain will sink the GOP this year

The GOP is already sunk this year.

In other words

They want to lose the next general election to the democrats.

Of course they want to lose

Of course they want to lose the next election. They have screwed up our country so badly, that the next president is going to inherit some extremely bad circumstances. Our economic picture, the war, all the things we have been preaching about are going to be handed off to the next president like a turd with a big red ribbon wrapped around it. The Democrats will then have a Jimmy Carter style presidency and by the end of it all the dumb ass electorate will be clamoring for another R to take over. They do not now, nor will they then, have any clue as to what put them there and will once again think that by changing from a D to an R or an R to a D they will be affecting real change. We are a nation of morons.

you think you would get a bush that you might like

(HIllary) instead it would end up being george again in deed.

You may be right

But right now I have no doubt Hillary Clinton is destined to rule the nation for two terms. Only time will tell if I am correct.

Yep

I feel the same way....Hillary is going to slip in at the last moment....somehow.

I think she will end up

I think she will end up ruling like Dick Cheney rules however.

Agreed

Even worse than Dick Cheney. I sure hope she finally opens the eyes of the sheeple.

Further Proof That Our Government Is NOT In This For The People

This is yet another supporting argument regarding the Government and how they do not want to represent the people and they would rather continue to support power above all.

I have talked with many Neoconservatives who subscribe to Rush Limbaugh's school of thought and those Neos often say they support everything about Ron Paul except for his view on wars and foreign entanglements. The fact is our wars and foreign entanglements are the very vices that do not allow for any of Ron Paul's other messages to have the light of day, as the money used for these power grabs ultimately come in the form of higher taxes and reduced civil liberties to us all.

The Nevada, Missouri, Colorado conventions and others just give more proof that truth will be subverted against any lip service that is provided by the GOP.

We will win out in the end, but it might take a little time.

This "democracy" is becoming more and more of a façade as the days move on.

Now we're the false prophets?

"One officer warned everyone to be very "prudent" because there are people among us whom are "wolves in sheep's clothing".":

"15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." - Matthew 15-20, KJV

Looks to me the republican party is corrupt to the core and can be judged by it's "fruits" of elitism and intolerance.

Bump as I'm a CO CD1

Bump as I'm a CO CD1 Delegate.

Forcing them into the light of day.

The Ron Paul movement is pushing the party leaders to deal with us. They show their true colors by using the tools of tyrants to oppress and deny us a place at the table. The fact that they are doing this in the full view of the grassroots is a victory in itself. We must continue a full court press on the leadership and on McCain. The harder they try to maintain control the looser their grip will become.

Let them oppress us. It only builds our resolve and raises awareness of their authoritarian/elistist approach among the rank and file.

I think you're absolutely correct.

Forcing them to face us IS a victory in and of itself, with the added bonus that it's netting us A LOT of media attention. We can only hope their exclusionary tactics cause alarm bells to sound with some true conservatives, propelling them to our side.

This is correct

A great observation that I want to emphasize.

Force them to tip their hand.
Make it so other people see what they do.
Put the light of day on their actions.

Many people may not believe what we say, but they will believe what they see with their own eyes.

Why did no one else speak

Why did no one else speak out that WAS a Ron Paul supporter??
It is very important that these people do not just let their agendas run rampant with no calm and precise dissent. They are attacking us and our political agenda unfairly and illegally and unaware of truth. If I had been there, I would have said something. I would have stood up, introduced myself as an upstanding member of the community and the party and that I wanted to say something. You guys are letting too much go by...if there are indeed a LOT of RP supporters then..WHERE WERE THEY? Letters must be written and phone calls made..at the LEAST.

Right

Let's just have the delegates identify themselves so everyone knows not to vote for them.

I did not say that it should

I did not say that it should have been a delegate to stand up! It should have been a business person or a flunky or anyone who feels that RP is right. Whether they listened or NOT, someone should have put themselves on the line. I had a debate with a pastor the other day and I am certainly not a Christian but I stood up for this country. He said God will take care of it for us. I told him He certainly would, but He helps those who help themselves and it would be nice if we could avoid coming floods and pillars of salt.

How do you know

any Ron Paul people other than delegates were at the meeting? And even if there were, it's important we stay "stealth" until after the assemblies. Michael Eddy was tipping their hand by telling everyone about the Colorado State and RNC's plans. If they know nothing of us and our plans, we're the ones with the advantage.

goal one: get delegates seated

We MUST get our delegates seated. Those who haven't exposed themselves should continue to be quiet until they get seated. Do what you need to do so that you get seated.

One caution for those who are quiet - make sure you show yourselves to people who can vote for you. Showing up by yourself at the state convention and giving yourself one vote is not going to get you to Naitonal.
Also, please inform yourselves of the RP delegates to vote for.

I've read recent comments critical of "stealth" tactics

But when RP supporters are being openly targeted for elimination by the GOP/McCain mob, what else can we do? If we don't make up the majority of delegates at our CD/State conventions, how else are we going to get to MN? Thanks for the update.
