At the Oklahoma convention the establishment chair adjourned the meeting prematurely without a 2/3 majority and with many calls for division, because Paul had the majority, so the convention had been forced to resume outside in the parking lot. Thankfully the Paul supporters were smart enough to reconvene after the chair illegally ended proceedings. I've been at work watching this off and on all day, the Arizona Convention has been full of trickery and dirty tactics all day long as well. If you can't follow the streams, rd the comments to the links posted.
In arizona roll-calls, points of orders, objections, ect are being ignored, same crock as usual. Alternates weren't selected, so they selected delegates they preferred ect ect.
I've provided plenty of sources here.edit on 12-5-2012 by macaronicaesar because: (no reason given)

Okay, I'm not dropping in to be pro or anti Paul either way, but I am curious about something in how you're describing this compared to Missouri's system I watched here. In Missouri, pretty much the first order of business is selecting the Chairman which, if lost, loses it all. We all lost the hope right there for how the rules on every aspect of the Caucus from that moment on is defined by the Chairman who is presiding after that opening choice.
It sounds like the supporters well outnumber the others for the 50% majority to, if not pass whatever, then keep anything else from happening by procedural moves. Is the system that different between states? It could be I'm also not understanding it perfectly, but the hour long session I attended before the rally here in my city was training us all on how the caucus was going to function and how to make it work for us. Numbers were the start and finish to the whole shebang by what I took from it all.
I'm honestly curious..not trying to debate.

It sickens me that even those who are against Paul, Paul's views and his supporters still condone this cheating behavior taking place at all conventions nation wide.
You people need to wake the hell up. If this was over, why the hell would they continue to attempt to defraud the convention goers? Any ideas? You bunch are a real piece of work.edit on 12-5-2012 by macaronicaesar because: (no reason given)

I don't understand how anyone at all can support Romney after this stuff has been going on repeatedly. Why support someone involved in so much corruption? Do people need their heads testing or what?
The quicker this corrupt fraud loses any chance of being president the better. People actually support this guy and want him running America? Do they want to see the country finally fall apart for real or what? You'd really think so sometimes.

If Romney took the popular vote, then the delegates belong to him, simple. Not that I like it, but this whining and crying because you lose Has got to stop, it's really making you look bad to keep crying conspiracy and foul.. I saw the streams, I saw what was going on, and I also noted that it looked like the chair was trying maintain order where the Paulites weren't allowing it. Jeez.... can we say sore losers?

How do you know they're not, the streams are there. I have watched them all day, it's not make believe, it's most definitely taking place, you question it as if these streams may not be proof enough.
Or are you insinuating that Paul is ok with being ripped off because he's some evil scam artist who is in on the joke? Paul is doing this to show what the establishment is all about. He is saying all the right things atm, because he has to, the convention is going to get messy and I can't wait.
There is zero chance he falls in line and supports Romney, none.edit on 12-5-2012 by macaronicaesar because: (no reason given)

Really? Where? Show me.... All I have seen so far is Paulites trying to steal delegates from the popular winner.. NO i can't stand Romney, but he took the popular votes in the primaries, WHY is this even an issue?
It's interesting that not one Law Enforcement agency has taken this seriously, not ONE judge, or magistrate, and not one governor or elected official. But "somewhere there are people working on it"

A false representation of a matter of fact—whether by words or by conduct, by false or misleading allegations, or by concealment of what should have been disclosed—that deceives and is intended to deceive another so that the individual will act upon it to her or his legal injury.
Fraud is commonly understood as dishonesty calculated for advantage. A person who is dishonest may be called a fraud. In the U.S. legal system, fraud is a specific offense with certain features.
Fraud is most common in the buying or selling of property, including real estate, Personal Property, and intangible property, such as stocks, bonds, and copyrights. State and federal statutes criminalize fraud, but not all cases rise to the level of criminality. Prosecutors have discretion in determining which cases to pursue. Victims may also seek redress in civil court.
Fraud must be proved by showing that the defendant's actions involved five separate elements: (1) a false statement of a material fact,(2) knowledge on the part of the defendant that the statement is untrue, (3) intent on the part of the defendant to deceive the alleged victim, (4) justifiable reliance by the alleged victim on the statement, and (5) injury to the alleged victim as a result.
Once voting started we were not allowed to leave our congressional district. The Flagstaff group was in CD-1 which comprised of around 150 delegates. We had to vote for an A and B delegate (two separate ballots). On the first ballot the Ron Paul delegate was Jill Skayfel. The vote was taken and about 30 minutes later the results came back.
It was reported that Jill had only received 15 votes. We knew for a fact that she had received at least 11 votes from Coconino County alone! The place went crazy and someone called for a show of hands. My wife Cindy was chosen to count the hands and as soon as the hands went up you could hear Romney delegates gasp. Hands were raised everywhere. A total of 51 people had voted for Jill Skayfel.
The room erupted and GOP representatives were called. My wife Cindy was chosen to accompany our county vice chair Drake Mitchell to talk to GOP representatives and staff. The GOP wanted to run the ballots through the machine again and if the results matched, call it good. That would have resulted in some kind of riot. Cindy and Drake fought hard for an honest recount and eventually representatives from the Paul and Romney campaigns observed the recount and reported the correct results.
Second place went to Coconino County chair Diana Arendt who received 48 votes. She was part of Romney’s slate. Ron Paul delegate Jill Skayfel had won by 3 with 51 votes.

Just like there was zero chance you'd see Paul having breakfast with Bernanke and having "off the record" secret conversations with him.
Hahahaha, he will endorse Romney and you will fall in line so you can continue to worship your idol.
