Pete the Carpenter Harring on GOP Compromise

GOP offers "Compromise" to Maine National Delegates


The Proposed Compromise 1. A majority of the delegates sign a statement agreeing that, if Ron Paul is not on the ballot, they will vote at the Convention for Mitt Romney.

2. Instead of Brent Tweed, Charlie Webster or Paul LePage would serve as the spokesperson for the delegation and announce the votes cast for president. That spokesperson would also handle all media on behalf of the Maine delegation.

3. There will be nothing negative said about Mitt Romney or positive said about Obama (especially to media)

4. The Delegation will be admitted to the Convention, and to all committee assignments, without barrier.

5. The Contest brought by Jan Staples and Peter Cianchette will be withdrawn
So let me get this straight, all I have to do is agree to give up my First Amendment rights, pay no attention to the will of over 1000 fellow Republicans who voted for me to become a national delegate. And I also have to agree to forget the fact that Brent Tweed was duly elected by the delegation to be the chair.

I find this so-called compromise an insult! I am not willing to compromise in any way shape or form. We were duly elected to represent the state of Maine. Delegates from the state of Maine are not bound to vote for anyone. Like I said before, well over 1000 fellow Republicans voted for me knowing full well who I would be casting my vote for at the national convention. Now I keep getting told for the sake of the Party you have to comply, you can't rock the boat. Well you know something? There is such a thing as right and wrong!

This is simply wrong! Does Character, Integrity or Freedom mean anything today? Jan Staples and Peter Cianchette putting this contest forward, and then having the GOP proposes this compromise. Does that not show a complete lack any of that? If the image of the GOP is being hurt, it is no ones fault but their own.

The only thing that needs to be done; The delegation will be admitted to the convention, and to all committee assignments, without barrier. The contest brought by Jan staples and Pete Cianchette will be withdrawn. Those are the only acceptable outcomes. If I was to agree to their demands, how would that make me any different than that, which I am fighting?
I will not comply!
I am going to Tampa Florida!
I will be a delegate!

God Bless you all and God Bless America!

Taxation w/o representation No ?

I dunno, maybe the GOP is considered more a private entity,

but if not, I wonder if this would be a legitimate reason for not having to pay taxes.

Also, it seems there should be compensated for time/money & donations cause that was done w/ the rules as such & now they changed them & wasted your/our time.

Did u see the Boehner's teleprompter screen during the Yah/Nay vote ?

Did you hear about the virginia bus w/RP deligates & Head rule guy opposed 2the rule change

Lawyers are suing the RNC and a judge has declared all delegates as unbound. FYI, in case you do go to the convention.

York county delegate here and I VOTED for you by the Rules! This whole thing has made me beyond proud that I live in Maine because you beautiful, liberty loving Nat. Delegates, will NOT roll over for these ass-hats. I said the same thing you did Pete; if this was reversed I'd still be yelling at the injustice. As far as Webster, 1st it was the email to county del. and now this...he needs to be tossed out to the curb on garbage day. Thanks Pete! Keep fighting the Liberty Fight!

You are part of the problem dumbass.

The FBI is investigating voter fraud in AZ! The Ron Paul delegates have a boat load of solid evidence against the Romney campaign. Romney can't win without voter fraud.

RNC, it's not a private club. These primaries are for the office of the President of the United States. You have no right to twist arms, break bones, and steal/destroy ballots. If you can't even convince the Republicans to vote for Romney, how on Earth will he be able to beat Obama?

[Diana Lehua]

Romney's campaign is corrupt to the core. NO, I will not vote for Romney or Obama. It's Ron Paul or 3rd party for me. I'm done with our 2-party system that assures that corruption will continue.

Thank you Pete.

Great video, You are keeping your cool well. I'm a Duly Elected At Large Delegate from Oregon. I am 1 of 3 pledged to Ron Paul. The establishment freaked out when we basically swept the Ballot for the State wide vote. They tried to shut down the Convention before we could vote for the alternates. We overruled them stayed and voted. Now they say we were wrong. The establishment tools that could not get elected get to go.

[SKUNKBALLScom]

Fuck those guys! Tell them to eat shit!

AMEN BROTHA!
