Washington State Republican Convention - The Final Hours 3

Part 3 of 6. This is a six part video of the final hours of the Washington State Republican Convention. We experienced a walkout by the McCain camp, an act designed to try and rob of us of a quorum and to end debate. This move backfired on the McCain leadership and embarrassed much of the Republican Party. This video was taken by an official delegate at the convention and is entirely unedited from it's original form.

There were roughly 450 Ron Paul delegates on the floor. The majority that remained on the floor supported Paul. Close to 92% of the McCain delegates had walked out at this point.

Anyone who thinks we have a fair honest election process needs to pull their head out of the sand. Keep fighting for every delegate in every county. Do not leave this fight for our kids. Remember Lincoln lost the primary and won at the Convention through the delegates. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH criminals controlling our Government.

Starting at around 2:40 into the video, the convention passes a resolution to require the House of Representatives to formally declare war rather than merely "authorizing the use of force". This was one of the more important differences between the Ron Paul supporters and John McCain supporters.

Certainly some people stayed that did not support Ron Paul. Not everyone willing to go along with the McCain coronation thought leaving the convention early was an honorable way to deal with the debate. They were correct.

McCainiacs lost on their pro-choice agenda as well.

The congressional war declaration was the only real RP victory. They here able to bring back enough delegates to deny a 2/3 majority needed to extend the convention past 5pm, in order to implement the rest of the RP agenda.

Support the Constitution.

Vote for Ron Paul.

He is the only one with the 20 year voting record to prove he supports the Constitution.

I've seen other videos of the WA State convention but not this one. So glad it was posted! The McCainiacs underestimated the Ron Paul supporters' numbers when they staged their walkout.

God bless America and the principled RP delegates of Washington state.

Anyone who supports McInsane is an ignorant sheep, period.

[MCKRUSH]

God, Republicans are dupes.

[midwestcharm]

Are these all Ron Paul delegates?

[amoricanCrowe]

"Welcome back!"

Heh-heh.

[miracleneeded]

That many people support McCain, how can they?
