RNC VIDEO: Ron Paul Supporters Disrupt Convention Over Rules Violation, Boehner Called In To Restore Order

Source - BI

TAMPA, FLA. — Things got very heated on the floor of the Republican National Convention Monday, as Ron Paul supporters burst out into protest, shouting "point of order" to call for a vote on new rules aimed at curbing the power of grassroots supporters, and on the question of whether the convention would seat Maine's delegation, which has a high number of Paul supporters.

"Point of order! Seat them now! We've been robbed!" Paul fans, led by a raucous Texas delegation, shouted at Rules Chairman John Sununu and House Speaker John Boehner. 

The Paul supporters' chants were countered by Romney supporters chanting "U-S-A!"

But his efforts had little effect on Paul's supporters, and soon after, the Maine delegates walked out of the convention, chanting "As Maine goes, so goes the nation!"

The Paul supporters are protesting the RNC's decision not to seat the Maine delegates, as well as future 2016 rules changes that some have warned could significantly deteriorate the influence of grassroots members of the Republican Party.

"Nothing to see here.  Move along.  All is going according to plan..."

This is just totally bizarre. I am confounded as to why they did not have barbed wire around the podium as they did in the past. Holy S$$T.

The "Grand Ole Party" can go straight to HELL because of their contempt for what the people really want. I AM VOTING FOR OBAMA to spite those fascist freaks. I urge all who were left out to vote for OBAMA as the ultimate protest against what has decidedly become a gang of WARMONGERING FASCIST THUGS.
GO TO HELL ROMNEY!!!

Vote Gary Johnson, the GOP is going to die a painful death as real fiscal conservatives, independents and libertarians go to a party of principle and substance. Both the Republican and Democratic parties are the status quo, more of the same, two evils which people fight with one another over which one is the lesser.

Ron Paul - Republican. He would not get my vote unless he had denounced the Rep. Party. & run as an Independent. He's just a long time member of the Big Club.
I'm sure he never benefited from inside info.LOL

Teri,
Do you have any facts showing a "destroying Muslim in DC."

Write in TR in NOV. I'm as qualified (dumb) as any candidate.

Paul fans: "Point of order! Seat them now! We've been robbed!" countered by Romney supporters chanting "U-S-A!"
Jct: Paul fans shouting something intelligible countered by a chant meaning nothing. Says it all.

Further evidence that you are only given the perception of "choice" in our 2 party system.

I have stated before that Boehner is a disgrace, the first video of a local news reporter proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt.
