Nev. GOP recesses state convention, angering Paul supporters

3 hours ago

RENO, Nev. (AP) — Outmaneuvered by raucous Ron Paul supporters, Nevada Republican Party leaders abruptly shut down their state convention and now must resume the event to complete a list of 31 delegates to the GOP national convention.

Outnumbered supporters of expected Republican presidential nominee John McCain faced off Saturday against well-organized Paul supporters. A large share of the more than 1,300 state convention delegates enabled Paul supporters to get a rule change positioning them for more national convention delegate slots than expected.

"I've seen factions walk out. I've never seen a party walk out," said Jeff Greenspan, regional coordinator for the Paul campaign.

Delegates cheered earlier in the day as former presidential hopeful Mitt Romney urged support for McCain. Later, though, Paul got even louder applause as he delivered his message of individual freedom and fiscal responsibility.

State Sen. Bob Beers, the convention chairman, was booed loudly as he called for a recess Saturday evening. He said that the party's rental contract for a big meeting room at a Reno hotel-casino had expired and there was too much work left to complete.

State GOP Chairwoman Sue Lowden said the rules change wasn't anticipated. She denied any anti-Paul bias, saying expected slates of national delegates were prepared through a fair and open process by the convention's nominations committee and the party thought the convention would accept them.

I love how they make it sound like the RP supporters just kinda showed up. They never mention that EACH and EVERY one of them was a Credentialed, Elected Delegate.

Only if you guys are defeating them.

I like this article a lot.

[richardfortherepublic]

At this point, its really a waste of energy to complain about a media bias. It will never change.

Notice the old man with his fingers in his ears?
That is the symbol of the GOP leadership right now.
That picture is better than any political cartoon.

CNN picked up the AP story:

raucous:

I had to look that word up.


1. harsh; strident; grating: raucous voices; raucous laughter.
2. rowdy; disorderly: a raucous party.

Is that really what they think RP people are? Raucous? I liked it better when we were just loons.

That's the spirit!

[LEK]

I'm getting tired of the press using this word to describe Ron Paul supporters. Were the Romney/McCain supporters quiet and subdued?

raucous - rowdy; disorderly

[soapmistress]

Words I could live happily never hearing again: racous, maverick, long-shot, fringe, extremist, hijack, paulbot, paultard, paulspam and tin-foil-hat. But then what fun would we have, eh?

[countrykidz4freedom]

Well we really can't expect them to give accurate descriptions of Ron Paul supporters, after the way they continuously lie about Ron Paul and the true effects of the revolution, can we?

The truth is our people are passionate, zealous, determined, & enthused, about freedom, and the opposing side is angry because they can't stamp it out. Let us continue to be all the more enthusiastic, and continue to spread the message of hope to people all over the country.

[Alawn]

Ron Paul beat McCain at the original caucus. Why isn't that in the article? They want it to sound like Ron Paul people just crashed the thing and were doing something wrong. Of course he was going to have a lot of people at the convention.

At least it is nothing but a personal attack: calling us crazy, or loons, was a simultaneous attack on our ideas: painting them also as crazy and loony.

Our ideas have nothing to lose by being called raucous.

I saw the old man, and my first thought was: how immature.

"Let's plug our ears! That'll get them to quiet down and submit to the Party!"

:p

[Banana]

I find it interesting that AP went from calling them 'raucous' to 'well-organized'.

Can't be both. Maybe you need to look at the dictionary again?

[Mortikhi]

If they're not careful, they may end up using the word 'violent'

[UtahApocalypse]

I actually LOVE the word 'raucous' to me it shows; passion, caring, empathy, enthusiasm, strength, and energy. I don't know why anyone would find that offensive. To me its is great knowing that the GOP typically has been seen as subdued, quiet, and even melancholy. For the first time in years there is actual debate, and excitement within the GOP. I personally cannot see that as a bad thing.

Ron Paul mentioned it today on CNN today but he was brief & kind of genteel about it.
I wish he would have been pissed off when he talked about it because he tends to go
over better when mad.
