Romney may be nominated earlier than usual

Mitt Romney

(AP) WASHINGTON — Republican delegates will begin the roll call vote to officially nominate Mitt Romney for president on Monday at the national convention in Tampa, which could allow Romney to accept the GOP nomination earlier in the week than has occurred at previous conventions.

The formal presidential nomination process will begin earlier than in past years in part because of concerns about supporters of libertarian Texas Rep. Ron Paul, Republican officials said Thursday. Officials are also discussing the impact that Tropical Storm Isaac could have on the convention.

Republican candidates have typically been nominated a day ahead of their convention speech. Roll call votes have typically begun later in the convention proceedings than will occur this year, a convention official said. Romney is slated to speak next Thursday.

Paul challenged Romney during the Republican primary process and has a following of loyal and vocal supporters, some of whom will be involved in the roll call process. Several hundred convention delegates are pledged to support Paul. The Texas congressman hasn't released them to support others as former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, another Romney primary rival, has allowed.

Holding much of the roll call on Monday will also allow more time for speeches during the three nights that broadcast TV networks are planning to air convention addresses and proceedings. The three major TV networks don't plan to cover Monday night's convention events, leaving cable news networks to air the proceedings. The networks plan to broadcast Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights during the convention.

After Romney formally accepts the party's nomination, he'll have access to money he's raised to support his general election bid. Until he's the party's official nominee, he's only able to use cash he raised as contributions for his GOP primary campaign.

Well since Mitt Robbed Me is the plastic parasite puppet being appointed by Wall Street, what difference does it make. I find it sad and amusing that so many people actually think there are real elections in America. While I will vote and work to elect more progressives, I know it is pretty much fixed, the fiasco of the Bush Cheney Crime Family convinced me.

We know Romney is a radical cultist but Paul Ryan should be questioned, under truth serum, and asked if he belongs to OPUS DEI the radical catholic sub-cult that had FBI official Robert Hanson spying for Russia.

WHAT A MOB OF RADICALS!

REPUBLICANS ARE ALL RADICALS and they want to shove two EXTREME cultists down your throats.

Mormons declared war on The United States just after massacring 127 men women and children at Mountain Meadows, Utah. The Mormon cult has never rescinded that declaration.

The Catholic Cult is the largest pedophilia ring on the planet and corrupt to its core.

Here's the most recent example of RADICAL REPUBLICANISM.

Texas Judge Preparing For 'Civil War' If Obama Re-Elected
August 22, 2012 12:15 PM

LUBBOCK (CBSDFW.COM) - Reactions continue after a Texas leader issued a public warning for what he calls a 'civil war' and possible invasion of United Nations troops if President Barrack Obama is re-elected.

Are the Republicans so afraid of Ron Paul to cheat this blatantly?

[88Ronin]

The Mormon Cult isn't just trying to shut out Ron Paul. They will shut out anyone who does not belong to THE CULT.

Don't believe me? Visit The Mormon Theocracy of Utah and try to get a job.

[RollotheNorman]

Yep, they are trying to keep the Ron Paul Freak Show from really disrupting things. At the same time, they believe they can do a Willard makeover that makes him seem warm and cuddly. When pigs can fly!

[88Ronin]

Beware of cultists lusting for power.

That would defeat the purpose of the whole nominating convention. The GOP is up to dirty politics as usual. They've been trying desperately to keep Dr. Paul and his delegates off the convention floor.

Interesting that tracking charts show Isaac west of Tampa monday afternoon, which means 1) tropical storm force winds out of the south will most likely cancell all air traffic out of TIA and 2) by early tuesday morning Tampa may be being buffeted by hurricane force winds out of the west causing flooding in the area of the convention center.
