First Response to Selected RJ Comments

My first round of responses directed at Las Vegas Review Journal comments/posters are as follows:

Liberty or Death (4-27, 4:05a)
“…Paul should have the delagates from Nevada, Romney dropped out and that leaves him next in line”
What if Romney supporters’ second choice was McCain?

Jim Davidson (4-27, 4:11a)
“…Stealing elections is something the GOP has gotten comfortable with”
The results of the election of the nine Congressional District delegates were not announced, and the election of the 22 at-large delegates was not held. Please explain your basis for the election being stolen.

Ray (4-27, 10:06 a)
“…Bob Beers was handed a note the hastily dropped the gavel and said, "Recess!”
From the RJ, “State Sen. Bob Beers, R-Las Vegas, the convention chairman, announced that the convention would recess indefinitely about 6 p.m., saying the party's contract with the Peppermill Hotel Casino had expired and the gathering would reconvene at a later date.” Sen. Beers did not, out of nowhere, call for a recess.

“…Then McCain supporters were running around asking the others to leave, thus the quorum was broken”
I was there as well. As the remaining delegates attempted to establish a quorum, Paul supporters shouted for the McCain supporters to leave. This was followed by the McCain supporters shouting for the Paul supporters to leave. Childlike behavior from both sides, wouldn’t you agree?
