I was reading in a thread on this forum how GA Ron Paul Republicans got railroaded at their state convention.
Reading this quote pissed me off:

My response:
Then you guys should have rumped. You don't have to take their bullshit. Rump when they break the rules or when the chairman is out of order and challenge their results.
This is why there needs to be an official strategy before attending these conventions. We are running out of time. Since Nevada we have allowed the rank and file Establishment old timers to put their foot up our asses convention after convention. If we don't do better to pick up more delegates at these state conventions McCain will be coronated without much of a fight at the RNC.
If nobody is going to take this shit seriously then why even bother?
It just takes one person to have a light go on in their brain to round up the troops and rump when they break the rules, right?
Is it too much to ask for organization prior to these conventions? What's the deal with your local meet up groups? If you ask me they're slacking because it's obvious our people are attending these conventions unprepared. Did yall not take lessons on how Ron Paul Patriots in Nevada were prepared and organized? sheesh! :mad:

Granted, Nevada Ron Paul Patriots did not rump. But I believe they could have and should have. To their credit though, they were well organized and did a heck of a job if you ask me.
Why can't we seem to duplicate this success at other state conventions? We have taken hits in every state convention since our success in NV. I believe time is running out on gaining enough delegates to make an impact in stopping McCain at the RNC.
I didn't expect us to sweep every delegate in every state convention. But I didn't expect us to get our ass kicked in all of them either.
We know they are going to cheat. We know they are going to break the rules. We know the Chairman is 99.9% likely to be out of order and looking to screw us over.
So when these things occur, why are we not rumping? Why not rump and elect our own Chairman, our own slates of delegates, and take proof (video and audio) of Establishment figures breaking the rules to the RNC and challenge their results?
What can it hurt? If anything rump conventions at state conventions when party leaders break the rules would make great stories and headlines from reporters that attend these conventions.
Be organized prior to your state conventions. Be ready to rump. Just do it.
