Default Rand Paul endorses Romney

Looks like that Gnostic/Ra/KoM/FM conspiracy is true

Nothing shocks me any longer - is this a ploy to get the VP nod in order to bring the libertarians back into the fold? The Ron Paul contingent swings this election - Romney will get his 43% of the vote from the fat cats and the conservatards; Obama gets his 43% from the lemmings and the socialists - and The rational, objective, and lucid 14% get stuck with having to decide which one of these two fuc.ktards gets to continue to screw up the country for the next 4 years, or more precisely, which one will fuc.k it up less than the other one over the next 4 years.


Lovely.

Ron Paul delegates have been quietly and diligently working with Republican Party rules to acquire a significant number of delegates and power within the state organizations, state by state.

The Republican Party has suddenly realized that, and has broken their own party rules to attempt to disenfranchise the Paul supporters.

Just watched a video of some state GOP convention, where the Paul supporters had the votes and took some positions of power, and the GOP poobahs just ignored them and had them removed, by the police, from the convention hall. I'll try to find it. The Paul supporters were completely in the right.

I found it: it was this years Louisiana Republican State Convention.

Following GOP convention rules, and Roberts Rules of Order, Ron Paul delegates kicked out some committee chairs by legal votes, and the Republican poobahs literally ignored them and arrested them. Two Paul people were seriously injured in the scuffle.

Watch the whole video - the Paul people are 100% "in the right", and the Republican big wigs simply freaked out that they were beaten and taken over using their own rules.

The best part is when the Paul people, who have the rightful majority, according to convention rules, turn their chairs around and continue with the meeting. That's when the GOP bigwigs sent in the cops and injuries resulted.

It seems Paul is softening himself for the GOP national convention, in order to save Rand's career. But he has a lot of legally-earned delegates the GOP will deliberately try and screw over-ignore.

I see Jeb Bush has been attacked by the current GOP, too. This party has to get together to be a political force again.

Tea Party vs. Evangelical Loonies (John Birch Society) vs. Old School Big Business Wealth vs. lifetime Republican moderates vs. Ron Paul Libertarians using the party status to advance the Libertarian agenda. The Republicans have never been a "big tent" party, unless a certain faction is in control. That's been up for grabs for two years, and is getting worse, not better.

Yeah there isn't any division on the democratic side. Clinton and Obama rivalry is no big deal. There aren't any sects of democrats throwing Obama under the bus.

It's all about Republican f.uck ups with the resident Republican/e-succubus.
