The Repubs refused to read the number of delegates Ron Paul won from the podium tonight during the state roll. Class act those guys.

Sigh...

they are scum. I hate the American ruling class.

We are in a dangerous place - people are so fed up with the one party system that both the left and the right are in this permanently pissed off mood.

I see historical parallels in the Spanish Civil War and the Bolshevik revolution. When the political system provides no recourse, people will ultimately provide it themselves. Typically, with horrific results.

Paul supporters disrupt convention and boo Boehner. He also said publicly that he hopes blacks and Latinos don't show up to vote. What an ass.

Yeah I caught that too I thought it was a nut shot...totally out of line. But we shouldn't forget, Obama has equally stated from time to time how much he values the black and Latino vote. (implies that only certain categories are valuable while others are not?)

Its just a bad idea to segment out voter bases beyond party affiliation.
Both parties are culpable in this nonsense

Ron Paul is a distraction to the Republican party. That is what YOU Libs want! Sorry but "you liberals" just didn't get your way so don't be so "pissy"!

Germany in the early 1930s was so divided that the National Socialist Party candidate won national elections with barely 30% of the vote. The rest is sad history as Adolph began changing the law to consolidate power.

GOOD!!!

He is like a little kid that plays the game until he looses and then wants to change the rules when the outcome doesn't go his way. The whole bunch of Paul wackos are that way. GROW UP and work with what you have, not what you wished you had. None of us on the right have what we wanted either but we're not going to piss around and let obastard win again by default. For all the stupids whining about Paul..... The convention isn't about him.

I disliked obastards white half the first time he opened his big mouth and started spewing platitudes to his uninformed moronic groupies. As for you race baiter's, I won't even mention anything about his black half other than the fact that I dislike it as much as I dislike his white half..

Romney's thugs are the ones being childish. Ron Paul could not in good faith give his delegates to Romney, so the Repubs punished him by not recognizing him at the convention. This is how you treat a man that devoted his life to Congress, a man who represents a lot of voters whom Romney presumably wants voting for him? Some of Paul's views were radical, but that's exactly the kind of thing America needs at this point. No wars unless declared by Congress! Stop the war on drugs! Abolish the Fed, who just print money and increase the debt.

Romney has the lowest approval rating of any Republican candidate for President in over 30 years. Everyone knows he's just an elitist who hides his money off-shore, yet they support him because he represents the only chance of beating Obama. Romney voters aren't voting for him, they're voting against Obama. Pitiful.

Regardless whether Romney or Obama wins, the American people have already lost this election.

I agree. This election really equates to a corporate lapdog vs. another corporate lapdog. No matter who wins, corporate america wins, and the people lose.

It's no longer lib vs. rep. No longer red vs. blue. That's just the illusion that we are propagated into. The only key factor now is how long we (society as a whole) choose to keep our heads buried in our collective asses.

The choice we have is a wishy-washy Nixon....or Josef Stalin.



So sad we can't find anything better to vote for

Cha - but the problem is this: people cannot come together to dispute it because they're too busy squablling amongst themselves about their beliefs.
