Chaos on the Convention Floor as RNC Blocks Ron Paul Delegates, Alters Seating Rules

Further informations about Ron and topics addressed are available in favourites, play lists on my channel and complementary video responses. Published with the permission of "DemocracyNow.org - Controversy erupted on the convention floor when a dispute broke out over whether to seat the delegates of presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul of Texas. Part of Maine's delegation stormed off the floor in protest of a decision to strip away half of Paul's delegates. Supportive members of other delegations rose to their feet and hollered their objections, angered by new rules that they say they will make it harder for grassroots candidates to stand a chance in future elections. Democracy Now! producer Deena Guzder was on the scene and filed this report."

Sounds like this was planned.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

John F. Kennedy

It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.

Henry Ford

Revolution, noun. an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.

Ambrose Bierce

When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right. Victor Hugo

The seed of revolution is repression.

Woodrow Wilson

[John Blecha]

Choice is now an illusion and we will be run by the wealthy and powerful. This is not how a Republic works. This is a dictatorship thru and thru. American is gone! Revolution is imminent if we are to take back our Country from those intent on subverting it for their own use. Gun confinscation will soon follow to avert this. That will be our time to strike, or submit through aquiessence. That is clearly our only choices left.

"Legal manoeuvres," Ms Barresi @4:20?

No, Ron Paul delegates FOLLOWED THE RULES that had been recently changed to try to favor Romney. Then they changed the rules again in Tampa when they didn't like how well Ron Paul had done under the rules they had established. Romney didn't need to cheat to win the nomination...only to pretend that the Ron Paul delegates didn't exist.

Should say 5:11 so others can listen to it, rather than 5:15 where the quote has already passed. But at any rate, thank you for that comment, it's a good point!

"Americans like to talk about (or be told about) Democracy but, when put to the test, usually find it to be an 'inconvenience.' We have opted instead for an authoritarian system 'disguised' as a Democracy. We pay through the nose for an enormous joke-of-a-government, let it push us around, and then wonder how all those assholes got in there."

lol...they followed the rules lol...they changed the rules! Try that at a football game here in the USA! Only the RNC can change the rules of a game during half time! Shame on them. Thank you for sharing this story though since we couldnt get any fair and balanced coverage for the last year.

So showing up and voting is arcane  The Romney people weren't paid enough to hang in there long enough. If there is a next time, it will cost more.
