Stebbins: Paul supporters 'out to change hearts and minds'

TAMPA -- Marianne Stebbins told a national audience of Ron Paul supporters Sunday that that they must engage the political process without becoming beholden to it.

“Our goal is not political power, our goal is to live free,” Stebbins said to thunderous applause. “When politics becomes the goal, we have lost the mission.”

Stebbins, who is chairwoman of Paul’s campaign in Minnesota, was a featured speaker at a Ron Paul rally at University of South Florida that drew thousands of devotees of the Libertarian-leaning Texas Congressman.

The only Minnesotan to speak at the rally, Stebbins talked about the movements’ scrappy origins in Minnesota, growing from obscurity to becoming a driving force in state Republican politics.

She described the Paul uprising beginning when many “introverts and nerds crawled out of their parents basements” and got involved once they awakened to the alarming amount of government intrusion in their lives.

The talking heads on radio, the t.v. pundits, and newspapers all touted this week how HUGE the crowd was at Romney's 'homecoming rally' in Michigan this week, claiming 9300 in attendance. REALLY? 9300? Here's a shot of that 'huge' crowd:

Romney Bullies The GOP To Change Delegate Process

http://p.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/aug/26/gop-officials-...

"TAMPA, Fla. — Top Republicans are fighting one another over what one party leader called “one of the biggest power grabs” in the party’s history.

Senior GOP officials are accusing the Romney campaign’s chief attorney, Ben Ginsberg, of pushing through a rules change for delegate selection that would give Mitt Romney enormous power over the primary process should he win the White House and seek re-election in 2016.

“It shifts the power to select delegates from the state party to the [party’s presidential] candidate,” Republican National Committee Vice Chairman Jim Bopp told The Washington Times on Sunday. “And it would make the Republican Party a top-down, not bottom-up, party.”

Conservatives, as well as some moderates, said Mr. Ginsberg persuaded RNC Rules Committee members to let Mr. Romney — if he becomes president — decide which delegates will be seated at the 2016 GOP presidential nominating convention. It also calls for letting future presidential hopefuls decide who gets to take the delegate slots they win in each state.

Even though changes won’t take effect until 2016, senior officials fear that it will dampen the enthusiasm of rank and hamper this year’s bid to unseat President Obama."

Huckabee to Paul supporters: You lost, move on

TAMPA—Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has a message for Ron Paul supporters who say they feel “disrespected” by the Republican Party’s delegate allocation process: You lost, move on.

“I don’t think they’ve been disrespected,” Huckabee told a gaggle of reporters as we walked through the convention center here near the Tampa Bay Times Forum.

“Elections are about—you get numbers. I lost four years ago, and I didn’t feel disrespected as much as I felt defeated. You have to accept that the voters make a choice and the voters made a choice.”

Yahoo: WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Ron Paul's delegates are trying to mount a floor fight over new GOP rules designed to limit the ability of insurgent presidential candidates to amass delegates to future Republican conventions.

They are getting help from other delegates, though it is unclear whether they can rally enough support to challenge the rules on the floor of the convention Tuesday.

Mitt Romney, the party's presumptive nominee, has plenty of delegates to win any floor fight. But the dispute could provide an unwanted distraction for party leaders who would rather focus on promoting Romney and defeating President Barack Obama.

Can Good People Work in a Corrupt System?

Submitted by TishaTCasida on Mon, 08/27/2012 - 19:25
Daily Paul Liberty Forum
DP Original

In light of months of controversy surrounding Dr. Paul’s candidacy and his constitutionalist-supporters’ infiltration of the Republican Party at the State and local levels of governance, as well as the recent endorsement of Mitt Romney by Rand Paul (proverbial torch-bearer of constitutional government) – it begs the question of whether or not “working within the system” of the Republican Party is advantageous for those who feel that the size, scope, and efficiency of the federal government is out of control. And I don’t have an answer for this, but I can tell you what is not happening - as a candidate, a purist, and a staunch supporter of constitutional government.

1.) The “liberty movement” has largely been infiltrated by the Republican Party.

Several organizations that collect donations and then say that they “support liberty candidates and causes” will only support Republicans. And this begs the question of how they call themselves “non-partisan”. And it makes you question their integrity of actually supporting people who draw that hard line in the sand of what is constitutional or not.

2.) The Republican Party is not open to the idea of having the “next generation” of people who are fans of smaller government, be a part of their power structure, and fighting the Republican Party has worked to a point, but how beneficial could it be if we spent this time working with people who have opted out of their corrupt system entirely – could that be more beneficial for the cause of liberty?

3.) It gets really old trying to change something that does not want to change. You can’t change people. You can influence individuals, by empowering them with information to make their own conscious decisions. But to change a party, you are trying to change an entire collective, and that remains to be seen of how effective we have been at that. In addition to this, trying to force individual ideas on a group is the antithesis of the liberty movement – we may be better off stopping this vicious fight-cycle against “the party” and instead start embracing individuals around us.

4.) If Rand Paul has decided it is best for the “liberty movement” to embrace a Republican candidate who has no record of being a staunch advocate for individual liberty and a free market – doesn’t that mean that a compromise has been made and isn’t that the whole reason we got here in the first place? Because of compromises? What happened to drawing a line in the sand where the role of the federal government is, and letting States and localities beat out the intricacies of what is best for their citizens? Why is the federal government gaining so much power?

Good individuals can create new systems, but I do not believe that good individuals can work effectively within a corrupt one. The Republican Party is against mentoring in the next generation of statesman to replace their politicians. Many (not all) organizations that beat their chest about “supporting liberty” actually are only another tool of the Republican Party. And putting all of our eggs in the basket of one or two representatives to “save us” (e.g. Dr. Paul and Rand Paul) is a complete contradiction to everything that we stand for as people who promote personal responsibility, free will, and self-reliance. It is up to us – you and I as individuals - working as individuals to fix the mess we are in. We can’t change a corrupt system, but we can sure start a new one.

Stalinist moves by a Stalinist Party who picked a Stalinist candidate

Submitted by Ian56 on Sat, 08/25/2012 - 06:07
Daily Paul Liberty Forum

Reminds me of Party conventions of old.

Moscow 1951 for instance.

Stalinist ruling number 1
In a properly conducted Maine state convention, entirely within the Rules of the Maine republican Party , 20 Ron Paul delegates were duly elected.

In a vote today 13 out of 16 Maine counties voted to seat the 20 Ron Paul delegates.

Despite this the RNC credentials committee has ruled that only 5 Ron Paul delegates will be seated and the rest will be chosen by themselves, entirely against the Republican Party's OWN rules.

Governor LePage of Maine has stated that he will not attend the Republican Convention due to his disgust with his own Party.

Governor Le Page is NOT a Ron Paul supporter.

Stalinist ruling number 2
In an improperly conducted Oklahoma state convention, the Convention chairman improperly called a halt to proceedings in violation of Oklahoma's Republican Party rules. He submitted a list of Romney supporters to the RNC as delegates.

The Convention chairman was about to be replaced and could see that Ron Paul supporters were in the majority.

The State Convention was properly continued without the previous chairman.

A list of Ron Paul supporters were duly elected as delegates.

The RNC ruled that the Romney delegates for Oklahoma would be seated in direct contradiction to Republican Party rules.

Stalinist ruling number 3
TAMPA — The Republican National Convention Rules Committee voted 63-38 to approve a new rule allowing granting the Republican National Committee — and Mitt Romney — sweeping new powers to amend the governing document of the GOP.

The move came at the encouragement of Mitt Romney supporters on the committee, including Romney's top lawyer Ben Ginsberg, who stressed that it would grant "flexibility" to Romney and the committee to adapt to changing political environments. The rule allows the RNC to amend the party's rules without a vote by the full Republican National Convention. And it offers the Republican Establishment a new tool to keep at by Tea Party initiatives that threaten to embarrass or contradict party leadership and stray from a planned message.

Conclusion
The Republican Party leaders have become so corrupt that they no longer follow basic democratic processes, but follow Stalinist principles of selecting candidates meeting their approval.

It is now not just a question of Romney losing in November, for that is certain, but to make the Republican Party lose so badly that it will disintegrate and collapse from the recriminations within itself.

It will be easier to rebuild or replace this corrupt organisation if it is burnt to the ground first.
Romney himself espouses Stalinist policies.

Central planning and big government.

The protection of special interests, large corporations and wealthy individuals (in the USSR these were senior Communist Party officials).

Tax cuts for the wealthy, tax hikes for the poor.

The transfer of any wealth from the population to the senior elites.

Horrendously excessive military spending (which eventually bankrupted the USSR).

Romney plans to spend $1,676bn p.a. or circa 48% of ALL government spending on the military.

No wonder there is no money left for anything else.

He plans to run circa $1.5tn deficits ad infinitum, or until the rest of the world says enough.

The Romney/Ryan budgets http://ian56.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/romneys-solution-to-wide...

Every Republican candidate who has endorsed Romney should be campaigned against and removed from office, wherever possible.

Romney should be made to lose as badly as possible.

Make the Republican Party burn.

Yahoo News: Texas Delegates Planning Floor Mutiny Over RNC Rules Changes

Submitted by Kathleen Gee on Mon, 08/27/2012 - 19:36
Ron Paul 2012
Texas

While opposition to the rules began with Ron Paul supporters, it has spread to the entire Texas delegation and significant portions of those from South Carolina, Colorado, Virginia and Louisiana too.

TAMPA--On Monday morning, at a meeting of more than 100 Texan delegates and alternates at the Saddlebrook Resort 20 miles north of Tampa, one topic got the crowd more fired up than any other. Delegate Melinda Fredricks read aloud a letter condemning recent changes to the national Republican party's rules that would allow the GOP presidential candidate to veto and replace state delegates.

"Our delegates are in shock that such an amendment even would be presented before the Rules Committee much less passed into rule," Fredricks said. "Please know from the Texas delegation standpoint that the only way a floor fight can be avoided is for this rule to be stricken."

At that point, the entire Texas delegation stood up and applauded.

Texans don't necessarily want to have an ugly floor fight on the same day the party officially nominates Mitt Romney. But they're willing to do it if their concerns about the rule aren't satisfied. The changes, which Mitt Romney's top lawyer put forward last week and Gov. Haley Barbour along with some other Romney supporters have embraced, are seen by opponents as intended to significantly weaken the power of grassroots politics and insurgent candidates such as Ron Paul. Many against the move worry that it would give national candidates the power to replace delegates--often grassroots party faithfuls--with big-time donors or friends.

GOP Makes Sure Ron Paul Supporters Get Seats in Nose Bleed Section at RNC


Kurt Nimmo
Infowars.com
August 27, 2012


Following Ron Paul’s sold out event in the University of South Florida Sun Dome on Sunday, GOP delegates from California promised to drown out “any uprising” by Paul supporters on the RNC floor this week.

http://www.slate.com/content/dam/sla...gle3-large.jpg Rep. Ron Paul during festival in the Sun Dome at the University of South Florida in Tampa on Sunday.

“The state delegation, marginalized in most matters because of California’s heavily Democratic electorate, could be significant in drowning out any chants supporting Paul: The 172-member delegation is the nation’s largest, and unlike some split delegations is fully committed to Romney,” the Sacramento Bee reports.

Jeff Randle, a senior Romney adviser who leads the California delegation, told the newspaper he has prepared 16 delegate whips to lead pro-Romney chants.

The tactic may not be necessary due to the fact the RNC has made sure Paul’s supporters will be seated far away from the podium in the nose-bleed section.

Delegates from U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, American Samoa and the Northern Marianas Islands will get better seats than Ron Paul’s supporters, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Politico received a RNC seating chart that shows the delegations from Nevada, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota and Oklahoma located on the outer fringe of the convention floor. The states have significant Paul followings.

The GOP and the Romney campaign have worked overtime to deny Paul supporters a place on the convention floor. Paul has five states – Louisiana, Oregon, Massachusetts, Oklahoma and Maine – which grants official recognition on the floor, but this has been blocked by Romney’s lawyers.
According to the New York Times, Paul turned down chance to speak at the convention because he would not allow Romney’s team to go over his speech with a fine tooth comb.

Paul’s campaign manager, Jesse Benton, did not consider the RNC seating sub an issue, however.
“I am glad so many of our delegates get to sit close together,” he said.

Benton apparently attempted to sabotage the Paul Festival held in Tampa on Sunday. In the video below, Peter Schiff reads a text message Benton sent to the festival’s organizer, Deborah Robinet.

“The text proves that Jesse Benton of the Ron Paul campaign intentionally sabotaged Paul Festival and the Ron Paul supporters who organized it,” writes Gary Franchi of RTR.org.

Ron Paul Just Made The Last Speech Of His Political Career — Here’s What He Said

Grace Wyler
Business Insider
August 27, 2012

TAMPA, FLA. — Speaking on the eve of the Republican National Convention, Ron Paul reassured hundreds of ecstatic supporters at a rally here Sunday that the revolution he began is far from over.

“Let me tell you, I was a little afraid to come down here,” Paul told the crowd at his Sun Dome rally. “I wasn’t afraid of Hurricane Isaac. But there have been a lot of news headlines that say the Revolution is over….They’re saying the Revolution isn’t happening — they wish!”

It was likely to be one of the last speeches of Paul’s political career — the Texas Congressman’s presidential campaign will officially end when the Republican Party nominates Mitt Romney this week, and Paul is retiring from Congress at the end of this year. But he promised his legions of fans on Sunday that the movement will move forward, even in his absence.

Tampa, Florida (CNN) - A small but enthusiastic group of Ron Paul supporters Monday gave an early indication of the presence they hope to have at this week's Republican convention.

After the gavel closed a shortened session Monday afternoon, two dozen supporters of the Texas congressman congregated under a large sign on the convention floor reading "We can do better."

TAMPA—Ron Paul is expected to make a surprise appearance on the floor of the Republican National Convention Tuesday at about 1:45 p.m., sources close to the GOP presidential candidate just told me.

His presence is apparently designed as a way to show solidarity with his several hundred delegates, many of whom are frustrated and seething because they are being outvoted and, in their minds, shunted aside at the Republican National Convention.

"Even though the establishment seems to be victorious right now, don’t get discouraged." -Ron Paul

Even though the establishment seems to be victorious right now, don’t get discouraged, Ron Paul told Iowans this morning.

“The immediate victories aren’t there,” Paul told about 300 people at the Iowa delegation’s first breakfast meeting of the Republican National Convention.

“You say it’s a complete defeat, but no. I think we keep winning. The harder they try to silence us, the harder they try to push us around, the harder they try to take our delegates away, I think it’s an incentive. It is a tremendous incentive for everybody to work harder,” he said.

Things about to get real up in the RNC

RNC Delegate for Ron Paul, Andrew Dellinger reports:

Ron Paul entered the room of the Republican National Convention with a lei given by the Hawaii delegation. The crowd erupted in chants for "President Paul." Fox News' Megyn Kelly cut her segment short because she could not be heard over the chants for the presidential contender.

They are now chanting "Let Him Speak!" We were marginalized and overlooked and underestimated for too long. We responded by taking over conventions at the state level, organizing the greatest grassroots network since the American Revolution and spreading a message that would change the tone of the GOP. It's been 15 minutes and the chants have not stopped. I have never been so proud to be a part of something in my life.

The Virginia and Rhode Island delegations are apparently being blocked from entering the Republican National Convention. They're keeping us all on a bus and not allowing us in the security perimeter.

Please share this news with your friends.

Floor Fight! Boehner Just Cheated!

The RNC just passed new (rotten) rules but the AYES DID NOT HAVE IT.

Boehner said it passed but it certainly was NOT CLEAR that it had.

THIS is how the GOP ramrods crap through regardless of the will of those voting.

Boehner and Preibus are RATS.

Rand Paul: GOP Needs My Dad’s Followers

Submitted by stu2002 on Tue, 08/28/2012 - 17:37Rand Paul


Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul, a tea party favorite, said Monday that the party would do well to solicit supporters of his father, failed presidential candidate Ron Paul, if it wants to succeed in November.

The role of Rep. Paul’s followers and other libertarians in the Republican Party will represent a central focus of his speech to the convention Wednesday night, Rand Paul told Sean Hannity of Fox News, Politico reports.

“I think a big part of the libertarian Republicans or the Ron Paul Republicans is that I think they can help the Republican Party,” he said.
