This should be an eye opener, if the MSM told us that Ron Paul is not a threat...them why is the RNC doing this???
[quote]In a letter delivered Wednesday to GOP Chairman Michael McDonald, the RNC's chief counsel said if Ron Paul delegates are allowed to take too many slots for the national convention, Nevada's entire contingent may not be seated in Tampa.[/quote]
Letter of RNC:
Comment as u see fit.
The whole thing is rigged. There is no reason people are getting stuck with Obama vs Romney, two people who are 100% incompetent.
Disgusting. He earned those delegates fair and square, the people who voted for Paul deserves their representation.
Yet another reason for a real third party to emerge...
RP has been getting the short end of the stick since last year. What gives?
Could be he's against the militarists of both parties, it could be his economic theories are totally wack even to other republicans or it could be both. Ask me if I give a shit.
Doesn't matter if he supported eating live babies while forcing everyone to wear tutus and watch Rebecca Black music videos at 92.4% volume every Saturday @ 4:12pm. People voted for him, and now they're not getting the representation that they voted for. That's borderline unconstitutional IMO.
You can say that about anyone and everyone that voted for the looser in any election. The winner represents everyone, nothing unconstitutional about it. Even in direct democracies, there isn't universal agreement.
Do you understand how the elections work?
You mean you believe that if you are in a state with two republican senators, that you have no legal senator? They may not represent your beliefs, but in fact they are there to supposedly serve your interest and that of every other resident of your state.
Some guy voted in by the tea party still represents all the people, even though half of them probably didn't vote and another group probably voted against him. Maybe it's just the semantics of it. In theory they are there to do what they think is right on your behalf, even if you didn't vote for them.
I was talking about the delegate process
It's still a reflection of the popular vote in each state, unfair though to smaller states perhaps.
No its not.
Are we talking about the same thing, the electoral college?
the electoral college?
Oldest scam on the books.
Why?
Why do you need more then one way to determine the winner?
Majority rule. Total all votes = winner.
What more needs be done?
It may be a scam, but we're stuck with it until there is a movement to change it. We all know how amendments work. Unfortunately that one only gets attention when the winner of the popular vote doesn't win in the electoral college.
Another fish to fry when the people take up their ownership of the government.
You need a majority to do that and occupy doesn't seem interested in actually participating in the political process.
Occupy is very diverse. More supporters of the movements against greed corruption and crime are more political than you might think.

states demand representation as individual deciders of national politics also
that is why they are equal represented in the senate
and have influence as a state in the election of the president regardless of population
One person ( adult and living/breathing/biological ) one vote. Winner decided in the election. Issues are the same - present the true/facts and repeat the process.
It is an abuse of the election process. States already have their say - in the voting of their populations.
it could be seen as outdated
partially a respect over land issue
those in the city don't consider the issues of those in the country
I thought we were talking about the process of awarding delegates. Every state has their own way of doing it.
Some are winner take all. Some are proportions are guaranteed to the winner all the way through, some just are tied to the first round of voting. Some leave the vast majority of delegates up for grabs to whoever sticks around.
There is a serious chance that Paul is going to be able to pull off something incredible this year in Tampa. I still Obama is a lock, but I think a Obama vs Paul election would be much more fun.
Do you give a shit?
nupe
Okydoky then.
Support the 99% .... Demand elections be state and national holidays
I don't care. I really don't. Their followers have acted in a disgusting manner all the way around. This would be the macro version. They wanted a Dog and Pony show-they got one.
Their followers make up a nice chunk of OWS.
That's nice.
U are putting everyone in the same spot...cmon..
I didnt ask for this..
