ESTABLISHMENT TRYING TO SILENCE YOUR VOICE - UNLESS YOU SPEAK UP

Why Moving Florida's Presidential Primary

To January 31, 2012 Hurts Our State

 

HERE FOLLOWS THE SUMMARY:

Our full allotment of delegates is: 99

After the three officers are removed our base becomes: 96

Cutting us as the penalty, we get only: 48

 

With the total delegates available in the six or seven states that are attempting to go before Florida, there will only be 212 delegates available. With a normal distribution of delegates among the candidates it is probable that several candidates will have 75 or 80 delegates if they are in the lead. Florida would be in a position to really lock up the lead and momentum for a candidate if it voted to go March 1,2,3,4 or 5 and still had its full allotment of 99 delegates. There is no penalty provided in the RNC Rules for those five days. It would be possible, with the proper definition of proportionality for a candidate to get 60 to 80 of Florida’s delegates and thus have a nice lead. (Again IF we were at full strength)

If Florida goes as early as is being discussed (January 31), we will have little, if any, impact on the delegate count for any candidate. Further, we will be slapping the RNC in the face after they gave the convention to Florida and we have not given the new rules a chance to see if they work.

 

Moving the date will cut our delegation in half and diminish the voice of the people, us.  This is due to one man's grab at power and will silence the voice of the people, us.  Please take a moment and make an urgent call to John Thrasher's offices.

We can not be discouraged. We must press on for our victory! As long as Herman is there with his message I will be there for him. Keep the faith!

Well, since I am NOT A REPUBLICAN, I guess I don't have too much say in the matter of WHEN they have their primary, but, I will tell you that my vote will go for the statesman that is running for President, not the politicians.   I think that all of you here are smart enough to know that I am speaking of RON PAUL. 

However, if the Republicans should select Herman Cain, I would support Herman.   Both of these two men are statesmen and Constitutional scholars to the extent that they would obey the Constitution of the United States of America.    Ron Paul has the economic experience to save our nation fiscally, and, Herman Cain has the business experience of running a huge corporation very successfully.  

 

We are all going to have to pull together to get rid of the socialist / Marxist / communist cancer that has infected our government at all levels and in each and every election.   Until a serious purge of the Congress and the Executive office is successful, we cannot begin to restore liberty and freedom to our great nation.    After that, we need to work very seriously on the Judicial Branch of government with impeachments of justices that fail to rule Constitutionally on questions of law.   Some of their decisions recently reek of treason and derision.   They should be held accountable for their actions.   Such injustices cannot be left unpunished.   Disbarrment, impeachment, and the appropriate criminal charges need to be filed against activist, partial, and corrupt members of the judiciary at all levels.  But, we cannot do that without a firm control of Congress and a principled, disciplined Constitutional statesman as our President.

I'M TELLING YOU, THIS PROVES BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT; the state (FSRP) or whatever title it gives itself is an extension of the Dummyrats.  RINOS personified, and after they do their damage, they could care less about any repurcussions, because what're ya gonna do?!?!?  Kick them out?  Does that diminish their income?  What reputation can you ruin?  They're a pack of egg-sucking dogs.  Alternative?  If you run a third party candidate, they're not injured; they are smugly gloating at doing what Soros and their leaders are telling them to do.  Its as bad if not worse here in Jacksonville than even that toilet called Miami.  If a conservative does win the nomination, watch Donald "the duck" Trump run as a "moderate conservative".  What a hoot!!!

I want to thank the GOP and the RNC for reducing by half Florida's comvention delegates as punishment for having the nerve (The nerve!) to move its primary to January 31.

Florida needs to remember its place in the scheme of things! It may be the fourth most populated state in the country and have more electoral votes than only three other states but hey! Get real! Does anyone really want to tick off New Hampshire?

Florida doesn't need to have one of the first-in-the-nation primaries! Things worked out just fine and dandy last time. Sure did! Who needed all those other candidates to choose from? I, for one, thank the RNC and GOP for ensuring that Florida could choose from only Romney, Huckabee and McCain. It would have been so confusing and it worked out so well.

So lets all join together in trashing Thrasher et al for bucking up against the national organization!

They know so much better. And we need to remember our place.

God knows what is best and we can only hope his word will make this LAND A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE. Many have put God on hold or never had the time too know Him.  We the Tea Party do and that is the grace he will give us.  Mac

We, the grassroots bunch, have been battling enormous obstacles for over two years now.  We have ALSO made historical impacts on elections across the nation.  This is but another obstacle, albeit from a so called conservative party, to discourage.  As Sean Hannity closes each day with, "Let not your hear be troubled" and remember with God all things are possible.

A GOOD MAN MADE A RUN AT THRASHER, UNFORTUNATELY I WITNESSED HIM BEING SHUT DOWN AT AN REC MEETING. HE LOST HIS BID. I HAVE JUST BEEN OF THE PHONE WITH HIS WIFE AND LEARNED CHARLES PERNICIARO IS RECOVERING FROM A SERIOUS ACCIDENT PLEASE KEEP HIM IN YOUR THOUGHTS

"I don't look forward to having thrasher up in Washington, do you???"    Could you tell me a bit more about this, Patricia?
Comment by Robert G. Deardorff on September 30, 2011 at 11:53am

I get it! Thank you Bettina, Patricia M. McBride, and Debbie G. for explaining it to me. Well we are screwed, but I'm not surprised I guess the RNC is truly afraid of the Tea Party? Yes that would be right like Perry wanting to educate illegals children Wow! Well ladies all I can do is call, write, and get our neighbors to call and write and PRAY? Again, thank you for filling-in the blanks to “dumbed-down me.”

Comment by Patricia M. McBride on September 30, 2011 at 11:43am
Tony, the problem is Lennie Currie will get blamed for this and he is not the person who is at fault.  Thrasher is for pushing and voting for this even though we will be penalized.  And yes, as someone else said, we still have republicans at the state level that need to go and that are nothing more than party hacks.  I don't look forward to having thrasher up in Washington, do you???

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
