More Primary Fun

More GOP establishment shenanigans here in Oklahoma, and Arizona.

Maybe an "iffy" site, but it does use videos:

Yeah, there were tons of youtube videos after the Oklahoma convention. The Republican party in this state is a joke, it's a farce of a dictatorship ran by a few people with money. After this year, I'm just going to assume anyone that is allowed to make it through a GOP primary in OK is a crook.

It's not just Oklahoma; there's been crooked actions throughout the primary, nationwide. The whole thing is a farce. Thanks to the internet, we're starting to get glimpses of just how contrived the whole process is.

Hopefully Henschman will post in this thread. He was at the Norman convention.

I was there. While there were many problems with the way things were done, such as people being checked in improperly at registration and having to skip lunch in order to vote on issues, the stall tactics by the Ron Paul folks were just a bit too much. They wanted the rules changed so we voted on it and they were denied, they wanted a 2nd slate with all Ron Paul supporters being the chosen national delegates and we voted and they got denied. Then they proclaimed voter fraud since it didn't go their way.

Basically the same thing happened in Arizona - stall the convention until you tire everyone else out or the place gets shut down, then hold their own convention in the parking lot saying that it was really a continuation of an illegal convention - throw out the rules, elect a new chairman, throw out the chosen delegates and replace with their own - all while screaming at people, booing officials, and calling everyone else "Romney supporters" or "Rombies".

I like some of the stuff that Ron Paul says, I like the way he votes, and I like the way he gets other candidates talking about issues that normally would take a back seat. It's the in-your-face and if-you-aren't-with-us-we-despise-you supporters of Ron Paul that really give less credence to his cause. I think if that same passion for a candidate would be used to help convince other people rather than strong-arm them it would do his candidacy a lot of good.

Thanks for the second side of the story.

If they are behaving that way, then they are shooting themselves in the foot. I'm for Ron Paul, but acting like an anus doesn't help anyone or their cause. Get the message out, but do it right.

Romney has slight chance but I don't see it

Its been awhile since conservatives put up a good candidate. Dole, McCain, Bush (only better than Gore).
