8 GOP Senators are skipping their convention

Think about that. They are so embarrassed with the performance of their own party, that they are skipping their own convention in order to save their political skin.

Can you imagine a time when you were so embarrassed to be a Democrat that you would've skipped the convention? I can't.


Even at our worst, Democrats are 10 times better than the GOP at their best.

Or maybe there was a restraining order out on him.

His fellow Repugs would have had him arrested and detained if he got near the TwinCities....again.

A largely unreported story is that a credentials fight with Ron Paul supporters has rendered sitting the Nevada delegation impossible lol.

Remember all the hysteria with our FL and MI delegations?

GOP Nevada delegation controversy
Back in July we wrote about how the Ron Paul forces in Nevada threw such a monkey wrench into the proceedings that the Nevada Republican party has to cancel their originally scheduled state convention, and then canceled the rescheduled convention due to lack of interest.

Well, apparently the chaos in Nevada has gotten to the point where right now there is no Nevada delegation to the GOP convention:


Citing flaws in the selection process, a key Republican National Committee panel on Friday recommended that neither of Nevada's two dueling delegations be seated at the party's national convention in September.

The Republican National Committee's contest panel rejected both a group backed by supporters of former Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, as well as a delegation appointed by the state party, according to a source who had read the panel's ruling but did not want to be named discussing it before it was formally submitted to the RNC.
...
The committee's recommendation throws into question the status of a 34-member delegation from a key swing state that likely Republican nominee John McCain has been working hard to turn his way. It also set off a series of negotiations between state and national GOP officials over how to resolve a complicated dispute with an embarrassing origin for the state party.
Two Ron Paul posts in a row. The more confusion in St. Paul, the better!
