This post on WND pretty much sums it up. Barring a last minute change of mind, I will probably be voting for GJ this Nov. Yes, GJ will not win, its a protest vote. I also reserve the right to change my mind.

But the events in Tampa have really been bothering me. This post on wnd more or less echoes my thoughts on the matter.

This article makes mention of a dictatorial delegate counting process, but doesn't back it up with any information. This is the first I've read of this. What is he talking about, particularly with regard to not recognizing the delegates from Maine?
*edit
I looked this up but still can't find why they did this or how this action gets ascribed to Romney.

I posted it because it was an echo of my own thoughts, not a sourced sway-article.

This is a good breakdown of what happened in Maine.

I have followed the state conventions and RNC very closely, and will say that the article is right on the money.

^ Good segment by reporter at Fox19 out of Cincy. Ben Swann does a lot of good work for the local Fox affiliate.

Theres a lot more to be found. Might post up some more Monday if there is interest.. especially about Mass, LA, and a few other places.

I think sooner GOP gets the message, sooner rebuilding process can start. Perhaps one day we will meet at GOP convention. Given a choice between current-day Democratic Party and say Reagan-era GOP I'd have hard time justifying supporting Democrats.

How do you expect such party to work? Environmental protection requires sizable government and heavy regulation.

I have no problem with a larger government when it comes to the environment, as long as the regulations are common sense. Yes there is a time when it will come down to one or the other and those must be taken on a 1 by 1 basis.

Actually you can make plenty of things illegal, and enforce those laws/regulations without utilizing the concept of prior restraint. People get so caught up in the fact that the libertarian *way* of doing things is different, that they mistakenly think that there is *no* libertarian way to do something like protect the environment.

What really confuses me sometimes, is that people think that a political philosophy that treasures private property rights is somehow conducive to letting other people dump trash in various forms on other peoples' property.

Plus, only the purest strains of ultra libertarianism call for total elimination of all forms of govt prior restraint. Though a more libertarian style would certainly be to police and investigate cases of infractions, combined with stiffer penalties and better legal recourse for the afflicted.
