GOP cancels state convention; panel to pick Nevada national delegates

I'm not sure why/how you view this as good news. Neither group had a quorum. According to the article the state will pick their own delegates and send. The article says that the state will probably prevail. If this happens, we lose.

How do you see this as good news?

this BS by the GOP NV, is to provide especially Chris Dyer, James Smack and Carl Bunce all the financial and volunteer support you have to ensure they win their primaries on August 12th. If Smack and Bunce (or one of them) win their primaries against the GOP incumbents, they are as good as selected, also in November. This will send a clear message to the GOP and RNC and we will have 2 Ron Paul Republicans already

a little civil disobedience comes to mind, someday we may have to stomp people, I hope not, but we may.

My first convention, and what a disgrace. It's true what people are saying, its all a sham. Are there enough willing people to change this country around? I hope so.

I assume the GOP has as judicial committee. These folks are elected by the delegates to be impartial (because they never know what issue they might have to decide). They interpret the rules and decide what the outcome should be in cases like the NV convention.

The rules should have some process for resolving this, and the reconventioneers should be sure to keep to the process, whatever it is. If the delegates chosen by the reconventioneers are not upheld by the credentials committee, the next step is to go to the judicial committee (I'm guessing). They may need advance notice, so with time short, be prepared.

No outside court judge will decide in our favor if we don't first follow the rules of the organization. That means appealing (I'm guessing) first to the GOP judicial committee before seeking any help from the government court system.

And even before that, there may need to be an appeal to the NV GOP judicial committee which (I'm guessing) is separate from the National GOP judicial committee. In fact, since NV gave McCain third place, I'd go to them first. Remember, the judicial committee members are chosen because the delegates think they're unbiased and know the rules.

If I understand this, the article says July 25 which means the phone call has not taken place yet. Right?

Alaney posted the above comment. Well, we're NOT putting up with that crap! We worked very hard to get elected as county delegates to our state convention, we were WINNING big time when the plug was pulled on the delegate elections. We put together a resumption of the convention & elected our delegates. We are filing suit over this latest move by the state GOP to deny our delegates. So what do you want us to do, Alaney? Call Hit Men R Us & give them a list? I'd love to hear your ideas. Nevada has had its shit together probably better than any other state & I'm extremely proud of all the people I've met in the movement here. The story about our disenfranchisement needs to be spread across the globe. THIS is what happens when you don't toe the line! Nevada will be in St Paul, and we know for sure we'll be in at least one convention hall, if not two.

Figured this would be the end game for the Neo-Cons. Let's have 20,000 folks in St. Paul for the first day of the Republican convention and seat the delegation of the people, not of the elites, from Nevada.

And then let's nominate from the floor...A doctor known to us all...the good gentleman from Texas and the next President of these United States...Ron Paul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forget about either the republican or democratic party. Let's start our own party. The Liberty party, Taft Republican party, or just plain Ron Paul Party..... or "I actually care about the america I read in history books as a child" party.

Thanks.

WAHOR!!

means whereby the credentials of the privately-chosen delegates (who will be McCain supporters) can be challenged.

Gee, is this long time GOP activist and McCain supporter really saying that McCain is a weak candidate who needs all the help he can get? LOL. I love it!

need 20,000 plus RP supporters to deliver the Nev. delegates to the convention floor on Sept.1, now that would get media attention!

...and highlight it thusly:

The Nevada Republican Party decided Thursday not to reconvene its scuttled state convention this month, claiming it couldn't generate enough interest

...and you have the Party's epitaph, which will be officially announced this November.

if I was in Nevada I would get folks to buy brooms and start cleaning the house!

"panel to pick Nevada national delegates"
Welcome to the United Soviet States of America, USSA.
Defination of Soviet--- a group of people coming to a consences and enacting the consences by force. Rule by appointed group.

There should be outcrys loud and clear in Nevada. This is why I'm writing off the GOP. I hope all goes well with the DVDs4delegate project. It's a possibility, and they should certainly use the fiasco in Nevada as proof that the GOP has deteriorated into a bunch of thugs.

"When you gonna wake up, and strengthen the things that remain?" - Bob Dylan

They are a dollar short and days late. The convention WAS officially reconvened and all business dealt with..too bad those people missed it...

unbelievable.

you americans really are being done up the bum with this one.

...but what a goddamned Tyranny with a capital 'T'

Bunch of Stalinists who arbitrarily and capriciously break their own rules. The party is a disgrace and a shambles. We have to take it back!
