@Why was Speaker Boehner booed at the RNC convention??
Because he played golf with Obama?
“Why was Speaker Boehner booed at the RNC convention??”
_________________________________
As I understand it, he greatly misrepresented the results of a vote on whether or not to seat Ron Paul’s delegates. I mean, he had no chance of winning, but still, this does seem awfully disrespectful to the people that supported him in the primaries, and kind of makes the whole process look like a phony formality (which would play into the concerns some people have that the establishment would never let a Ron Paul or a Newt Gingrich be the nominee).
My bad – The vote wasn’t specifically about Ron Paul, but about a general change of rules that would not only effect Ron Paul, but any future candidates that might try to win through delegate shenanigans at the conventions.
I check this site out for the numbers but have not commented on it until now. I watch Mornong Joe and most of the daytime MSNBC shows. I can not believe the absolute craziness of Chris Matthews. He sounds like a rabid dog. I had to turn to CNN so I could at least hear some of the RNC convention without Matthews bashing every item on the RNC platform. I do not watch FOX, but I may tune it in a few times to see if they act the same as MSNBC during the DNC convention. If they act the same and continually bash Obama during the DNC convention I will withdraw my criticism and disappointment of MSNBC.
@Adam
Welcome to the board Adam, and your doing the right thing, check out all of them, then judge. Right or left, good to have another
@ Matthew got it!! Thanks!

@ coffee Steve A crazy filter would keep d-bags like Ralph Hahn out of here….lmao!
Sorry just had too, I couldn’t resist!
———————
I see the RNC put American Samoa, Puerto Rico and other ethnic delegates up front in a desperate attempt to look diverse.
Did Mitt put Switzerland and the Cayman Islands up front too….?lol!
Didnt anyone tell the RNC leadership that those countries have NO influence in a Presidential Election….eh?
Maybe Sarah Palin did have some influence in the Convention planning after all.

@adam, If they act the same and continually bash Obama during the DNC convention I will withdraw my criticism and disappointment of MSNBC.
They do it 24/7 why would next week be any different??? Matter of fact they will go into spin on steroids when they know the President will get a bump in poll numbers after the convention.

Question?
Why was Speaker Boehner booed at the RNC convention??
——————
Because Ron Paul supporters are the only sane people in that party. I know I seriously would have thought of voting for Paul if elected, as it stands I probably will vote Gary Johnson out of spite that I don’t care for either of the 2 choices(and I live in a state that my vote is worthless so voting the less of 2 evils(ie Obama, in which case it’s much less of an evil) doesn’t make much difference)

Are you two married
Can’t we all just get along?
@@@@@@ Jeff
Good commentary tonight.
BBL…
Wife needs me outside a few in the flower garden
Don’t mention the crazy filter to the wife Coffee Steve, she will have a shovel or a garden hose, I’m assuming!!!!!!!!!
By the way here is a video of Ron Paul Delegates letting Romney and the Republicans know how they feel

funny stuff
It is hard believe chris matthew’s rant against the rnc chairman. Totally unprofessional jornalism.
If you saw it, tom brokaw was embarrassed with the matthew rant.
@Jeff
LOL, she loved that comment
Man this thing is small
I’m guessing half the keys
Have a great evening everyone, see ya Wed Morn
Peace
