Mitt Romney Wins The GOP Nomination as Texas Senate Race Heads for Runoff

Just a few minutes ago, Fox News called tonight’s Texas Presidential Primary for Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Here‘s the Associated Press’s report on Romney’s success tonight:
Mitt Romney has clinched the Republican nomination for president with a win in the Texas primary.
The Associated Press delegate count shows that Romney surpassed the 1,144 delegates needed to win the nomination during Tuesday’s primary. Early returns show Romney posting a big win in Texas.
It’s a triumph of endurance for a candidate who came up short four years ago and had to fight hard this year as voters flirted with a carousel of GOP rivals.
Romney reached the nomination milestone with a steady message of concern about the U.S. economy, a campaign organization that dwarfed those of his GOP opponents, and a fundraising operation second only to that of his Democratic opponent in the general election, President Barack Obama.
The Texas Senate Primary has not had its results announced yet. As of midnight, Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst barely led with 45 percent of the vote, with Former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz snapping at his heels with 33.8 percent. Dewhurst was expected by many sources to win the primary, but given that his percentage of the vote looks likely to be below 50 percent, he will have to face Cruz again in a runoff in late July. The Wall Street Journal reports:
With 70% of the precincts reporting, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, the favorite in the Senate race, had about 45% of the vote, below the majority needed to avoid a runoff. Mr. Cruz, a 42-year-old former Texas solicitor general, followed with about 33% of the vote.
The men are now set to square off July 31 in the runoff with the winner considered a decided favorite in the general election.
Mr. Dewhurst, who is backed by Gov. Rick Perry, has long held an edge in polls thanks to his widespread name recognition in the state, where he has been lieutenant governor since 2003. He also has also benefited from a personal fortune, made in the energy business, that has helped him finance his campaign and blanket the airwaves with ads. His campaign has spent $11.5 million, according to a report from the Federal Election Commission, more than twice the amount spent by Mr. Cruz.
But Mr. Cruz’s grass-roots campaign has gained momentum in recent months, aided by endorsements from such conservative stalwarts as Sarah Palin and heavy spending by the small-government group Club for Growth. Mr. Cruz follows in the footsteps of Senate challengers who have had strong showings in Indiana, Nebraska and Utah.
Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert, the third place finisher in the Texas Senate Primary, conceded the race after a weak third place finish.

want to hear something funny?
there is a national annual meeting of top astrologists who have fortuned that obama will win the election…….and they have based this prediction on a hawaiian birth! :)
barry’s dad is not barrack sr.
barry was born in kenya in order to complete the facade of the barrack sr. paternity.
barry’s “people” in hawaii are trying to produce (using 1961 materials/equipment) a “valid” birth certificate that they hope will survive forensic examination but they don’t know that there are several factors (including the testimony of one individual) that will actually make the whole endeavor worse.
the evidence will be irrefutable (in addition to the birth records/lack thereof) and the cascading effect will destroy the democratic party.
why do you think romney is still associating with trump? why do you think trump is acting cocky about the issue? folks, barry is going to be seen as one of the biggest frauds in american history.

Posted on May 30, 2012 at 12:22amIf Romney is the nominee, Obama just got four more years.
The Romney camp has a complete lack of excitement. Romney will pull the GOP establishment but he will not get the enough of the middle to beat Obama. The Ron Paul supporters will not vote for Romney. What is so sad is the fact that there are so many sheep out there. I mean to show how ass backwards this country still is they voted in Rep. Ralph Hall over a tea party member. This just goes to show who is voting for Romney.
If Tampa doesnt change things, you people deserve four more years of Obama.

Posted on May 30, 2012 at 1:07amThe facts are the facts. Our government is based around the law. Federal law trumps state law (fact). Rule 38 of the RNC Primary bylaws says that no candidate can be bound regarding the unit rule (fact). The states have gotten around the unit rule by unbinding 3 delegates, usually super delegates that are establishment Republicans, a loop hole, (fact). In 2008, a delegate from Utah that was bound by state law to vote for McCain, used rule 38 to be unbound in order to vote for …Romney (fact). The RNC legal council wrote a letter stating that the RNC does not recognize state law on binding candidates and that candidates can vote for whomever they choose (fact). A federal law; 42 USC § 1971 – Voting rights, (b) states:

Posted on May 30, 2012 at 1:51amNaps, did you read my post? Read it and think about what I wrote. Not even the GOP can get around federal law. It is all in how the law is written. “No person, whether acting under the color of law…” that would seem to be relating to state law. “threaten, or coerce any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote or to vote as he may choose…” That would be relating to a person’s right to vote their conscience. “or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President…” That would be relating to binding delegates. “at any general, special, or primary election held solely or in part for the purpose of selecting or electing any such candidate. …” That would be relating to the primaries, the state conventions and the national convention.
Facts are facts. Law is law. The way this was written, it includes every citizen, it does not matter what position they hold, whether it be the President himself, Senators, Congressmen, Judges, Attorney’s, Doctors, police, delegates or regular citizens. If there are shenanigans by the GOP like in several state conventions, this will go to court and will hurt the general election. We are playing by the rules and federal law, The estblishment are breaking their own rules. (FACT).

A presidents job is outlined in the Constitution. I just want someone in there who will do just that. No more, no less. I’m looking for someone who use the power of office to protect my freedom sovereignty and veto any unconstitutional laws the Congress submits. Wanting them to do anything more is progressive.

Missing votes in Iowa, Not letting counties in Maine vote and changing the tallies when they were in Paul’s favor. Locking Paul supporters out of the local convention. Putting up dividers to alienate Paul supporters. Attempting to intimidate Paul supporters in Maine. The list goes on and on. We have had it. The federal law takes in all citizens in all venues. Federal law says that nobody or any party can force a citizen, delegate or not, to vote for any certain candidate, period. The GOP brought thi on. Here is what the Lawyers for Ron Paul say about the federal law:
comments by Jerry Davis at Lawyers for Ron Paul:
“1. “It IS ILLEGAL TO FORCE ANYONE TO VOTE ANY CERTAIN WAY…PERIOD!!!!”
2. “ALL of the ‘binding’ IS under civil constitutional law….VERIFIABLY…ILLEGAL.”
3. “We are not even going the rule 38 route, ANY means of manipulating a vote, whether by proxy or by unit, is illegal.”
4. “The RNC’s use of these rules in their very nature, are illegal, but no-one has brought this to the table yet.”VOTE ANY CERTAIN WAY…PERIOD!!!! ALL of the “binding” IS under civil constitutional law….VERIFIABLY…ILLEGAL.”

Posted on May 30, 2012 at 3:21pmTop three reasons Paulinistas should put aside their principals and patriotism and vote Romney.
1.Consistency – Mitt Romney has been unwavering in his public devotion to the principles and issues that would help to advance the political career of Mitt Romney.
2.Flexibility – Unlike Ron Paul who has been ridiculously rigid in his defense of the U.S. constitution, personal liberty, a balanced budget and the sanctity of life (so much so that he earned the nickname “Dr. No” in congress); Romney has shown that he is capable of rolling with the punches, going with the tide, changing with the times, and bending with the breeze.
3.National debt – Romney is against it. How do we know? Because he said so a whole lot of times in a very convincing tone of voice. And just as soon as he is elected president he will show us how we can eliminate the budget deficit without raising any taxes, eliminating any cabinet departments, reducing military spending, or cutting Social Security, Medicare, or any other popular program. How will he do this? Well he hasn’t explained his whole program but it has something to do with getting rid of all of those federal regulations that are smothering small businesses like Goldman Sachs.

I appreciate the passion… but let’s talk about the founding fathers and the constitution. Since that is what you represent – principle over politics right?
Our founding fathers set up a goverment that was a slave to the people… it was the people’s voice that should carry the weight and the rule. I doubt we’ll disagree on this front…
Let’s assume your so called “rules” at the convention are correct and no votes are bound by the state’s primary. What the hell is the primary for then? If the delegates are all that matter, then it’s all over at the convention and the actual primary vote is pointless. If that was the case then the people have no power and no say.
You are using the corrupt governement/establishment rules, not prinicple, to push your agenda! Because your rules directly contridict the principle of following the voice of the people!

I checked my top ten and it is not in there so I will just tell you that the GOP has done election fraud, and there is mathematical proof that I tried to link here. it is titled “DP Peer Review: Evidence of Algorithm Vote Flipping in GOP Primary Elections Layman’s Executive Summary.” Eugene Curtis went in front of Congress and admitted to making the voting machines that do this, google it. The establishment GOP turned their back on the Constitution in Georgia for the sake of Mitt Romneys ideals. The GOP has done worse than the Dems have ever done as far as election fraud goes. They have pulled the wool over everyones eyes with the binding of delegates in order to get their pick in to follow the status quo and we are done with that. Federal law is Federal law. It trumps any private clubs rule (RNC, DNC) and state law for that matter. We are going to do things according to law and that is that. If you do not like the law, try to have it repealed.

Posted on May 30, 2012 at 6:06pm@IMMORMON, I’m so frustrated by folks insinuating that the RP is doing something unethical with how his supporters are working the delegate system. Romney’s played this game before. He’s even been the benefactor of the rules West Coast is talking about in 2008. They’re both playing the same game. Well sort of… the GOP and Romney are trying to cheat/change the rules in the middle of the primary. The bottom line is there’s nothing stopping Romney from doing what Ron Paul is doing other than having the same policies as Obama so that no one will get out an work for his delegates. The GOP just didn’t expect so many people to become active and vote out the rotten establishment shills at the low levels. It’s not our fault their arrogance bit them in the ass. Besides, I’m pretty sure your progressive hero will be on the ballot for you to vote for anyway. The only thing that’s really happened, is a lot of folks have seen what corruption the GOP is capable of. They can change their ways or perish when all those prune eaters finally take a dirt nap.

I’ve never accused Paul or his supporters of being unethical. But I appreciate the accusation!
Yes, I lean Romney, but I’m not far out of the Paul camp… (his supporters and their demeanor’s turn is what turn me off). So please, just stop with the name calling and the assumptions, it makes you look childish (mostly @ Just Angry).
My entire point was that the constitution gives power to the people, not the government… the people, not the process… the people, not the rules… the people, not the politians. That is what we can all agree on, right?
If the state conventions, where the delegates are all chosen, are all that matter… then the actual state primary where the “PEOPLE” vote, is pointless. I refuse to believe that to be the case. Not one Ron Paul supporter can address this issue of mine! Everyone dances around it!
It seems to me that you are using the rules and laws made by the “corrupt government/politians” to push your candidate and agenda regardless of whether or not those rules are consitutional. I’m not saying your being unethical, because supposedly those are the rules… it’s just funny to hear you say you always vote principle not party, but are clearly using a rule that takes complete power from the people!

Posted on May 31, 2012 at 4:46pmImmorman, The RNC has said that they do not recognize binding of delegates by states and that delegates are considered free agents to vote however they want. The delegate system of the Republican Party is a key check and balance to the “tyranny” of democracy (majority decides all) and a counter to the trend of unchecked corporate spending in contests. If a candidate wins a state primary but does not have supporters willing to show up to become delegates for his or her state, that is indicative of a candidate with a complete disconnect with the voters. In this day and age, the delegate system is our main countermeasure to money in politics because despite running million dollar ad runs left and right, it is all about the delegates. Now that these legal statements by the RNC have been found, the outcome is in the hands of the delegates and with Paul supporters occupying delegate slots in state after state convention, Paul has the chance to overturn the consensus that money can buy elections.
You think the Constitution says that the majority vote wins, well that is not true. We are a Republic and not a Democracy and that is why the Constitution uses delegate votes and electoral votes, so what you are saying that we are going against the Constitution is false.

Did anything prevent you from getting involved, other than your lack of knowledge of the rules? Did it stop anyone who just voted and thought their job was done? WE THE PEOPLE have a say at the delegate selection process. YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE had that opportunity. Enough Paul people have been saying this, and you’ve heard about it since Iowa. The “We the people” you‘re referring to sat on their couches and didn’t work for their candidate. They chose not to participate where it counted, or to remain ignorant of the process, even though Paul supporters have been saying it all along what they’re intentions were.

You make great points… all of which I’ve thought about… I’m not condoning what you are doing. Not at all. In answer to your questions (accusations), yes, it drives my nuts when Romney supporters act that way as well. It just seems like per capita, more Paul supporters seek for one snippet out of 100 to justify anarchy. However, I’m not that far from it myself… I just don’t purport it the way most Paul supporters do.
Also, for your information. I was a state delegate… attended the convention. I ran for national delegate and won. So yes, I am familiar with the process, yes, I will be in Tampa, and no, I will support Romney with my first vote… but would not be opposed to voting for Paul if I had to.
All I was simply stating was that I would love to have more civil conversations with Paul supporters. Without the name calling and the hot heads. I thnk a lot more good could be done that way.
I’m all for following the rules. If you can oust Romney who has 3 times the popular vote vs the delegate votes, more power to you. Maybe it would help people wake up and get more involved. However, I just don’t think it will fly.
But mark my words… If I’m wrong and it does fly, I’ll be the first to come back and give you guys credit and possibly join the Paul movement, I’ll just take a different tactic in promoting it that you do. However, if Romney wins I hope you’d consider him over Obama or a write in for Paul.

Marx and Engels coined the term “communism” to differentiate their ideas from that of the European Socialist movements which they felt were controled by the middle and upper class elites. “Communism” was used to differentiate between a “true” movement that could not include anyone but laborers and the socialism that allowed anyone of any class, occupation or social status to jump on board and support.
Marxism, Stalinism, Leninism (among countless others) are all forms of Communism, differing only in the emphasis of certain aspects of Marx’s Communist theories in their implementation.

The economy will worsen or even collapse within the next election cycle without drastic action. I would much rather Obama and a Democrat be in power when that happens, so that it will EMPHASIS that over taxing, over spending and over regulating is the problem.
Because even though Romney won’t actually put any fiscal conservative measures in place, the left will claim he did and blame the collapse on republican and conservative values. Then we’ll be in line for someone even worse than Obama. It may be the end of our system as we know it.
We need someone who will take drastic action to turn us around. That someone is Ron Paul. He’s not afraid to say CUT EVERYTHING. He’s not afraid to say no!

All it takes is to have someone OTHER THAN Ron Paul to be the presumptive nominee and the Ron Paulistas will come out and denounce, denigrate, and disavow anyone who isn’t Ron Paul. Mitt was not my #1 choice, but he is now. And I would LOVE to have him win just to shove it in all the Ron Paulistas’ faces. I would like that almost as much as I would love to shove it in Obama swooners’ faces.

Posted on May 30, 2012 at 10:32am@Inlight, I never thought Paul would pull it off. I think his legacy will be starting a movement that can’t be stopped, although I’m still hoping that his delegate strategy will work. (hope is all I have) He has reawakened many, and there are many candidates accross the country that have taken up the Ron Paul model of running for office and we’re taking over the GOP at the local levels all over, incase you haven’t been paying attention. I personally think this election is extremely important to tell our politicians that we don’t want the Patriot Act, NDAA, Drones, HR 347, etc. With Romney taking the nomination, Americans (or the media) have told the establishment that these laws are OK and it breaks my heart. On the flip side, federal judge has ruled that the NDAA is unconstitutional, and several aspects of the Patriot Act are being challenged. I keep my fingers crossed that the judiciary will preserve our freedoms since the exective and legislative branches care little about our god-given rights. Voting conservatives in at all levels seems like a good idea, however the “so called” conservatives have teamed up with the liberals to crap on our Bill of Rights, so what good is that going to do? I see very little difference between the RNC and DNC… they’re both filled with progressive trash.

Well that pretty much sums it up for me. First off, my interaction with Paul supporters here shows few if any of you read. You seem emotional and one-track minded with respect to Dr. Paul and USE him knowingly to advance an agenda that a number of you admit will not lead to either his nomination or election.
Secondly, most of you are Libertarians which is not the same as a conservative; TEA or otherwise. You cloak yourselves in all things TEA relative to Conservative values and Constitution yet get unhinged with the prospect of leveraging the Constitution in the 3 branch system. In fact, a number of you have admitted you’d piss on the Constitution to advance Dr. Paul, which would only suit your agenda. While you present yourselves as Conservatives, you come across as the unhinged right wingers like the TEA party folks are portrayed as in the media. I know many, and they are not like you and you are giving the movement a bad name…period.
I get the movement thing. You appear to misrepresent delegate counts, vote counts, level of support. POTUS only signs the laws, the Houses write them. You referred to the “Ron Paul model” for elections and that self proclaimed Libertarians like you now own the TEA movement…Really?

The majority of Delegates are Ron Paul supporters-NOT Mitt Romney’s. In fact, there are some Delegates, thought to be Romney supporters, that will go to that Convention in Tampa and cast their vote for Ron Paul-and will keep doing so, round after round, until corrupt Mittens is left wondering what the hell happened. But worse of all-Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase, etc….will wonder WHY they contributed so many millions to Romney in the first place.

Posted on May 30, 2012 at 8:08amMONKEYMOMMA. Then I guess you should have been a Speaker Newt Gingrich supporter if that’s the case and not Ron Paul acolyte. Gingrich actually did something as opposed to Paul’s 30 year career of being Dr No and getting nothing accomplished.
Gingrich can be credited with rallying the entire Republican House caucus to eliminate the deficit within 7 years circa 1995. Ron Paul hasn’t done squat for this nation as a whole in 30 years of being a beltway boy. So there is nothing that shows me he could do anything of any great consequence except maybe manage a Newsletter. Ooops, sorry, he couldn’t do THAT either.
Supporting someone with no record of accomplishment is pretty creepy to me. Reminds me of Obama supporters.

Posted on May 30, 2012 at 9:09amClinton’s two terms were some of the best for the financial health of this country. We had republicans in charge of congresse and democrats in president. Therefore, we had a divided government (gridlock). I find that this works best because government is best which does the least.
Republicans seem to be most effective when they have congress but not too much power that they get drunk. That way they stay lazer focused on the problem with the federal government. Yea, i wouldnt mind a return to those days – much better than the nightmare scenarios we have today

Posted on May 30, 2012 at 9:32amLike I said previously SOY… Gingrich‘s finest hour as Speaker came in ’95 when he rallied the entire Republican House caucus behind the idea of eliminating the deficit within seven years.
Skeptics said it could not be done in seven years. The GOP did it in four.
Now let’s contrast this with the Clinton fiscal record. I Recall that it was the Clinton White House that fought Republicans every inch of the way in balancing the budget in ‘95. When Republicans proposed a balanced-budget plan, the Clinton White House waged a shameless Medi“scare” campaign to torpedo the plan. It was Bill Clinton who, during the big budget fight in 1995, had to submit not one, not two, but five budgets until he begrudgingly matched the GOP’s balanced-budget plan. In fact, during the height of the budget wars in the summer of 1995, the Clinton administration admitted that balancing the budget is not one of their top priorities.
And lest we not forget SOY, it was Bill Clinton and Billary who tried to engineer a federal takeover of the health care system.. a plan that would have sent the government’s finances into the stratosphere.

1. Make sure you read my 8:31am post. The budget was NEVER balanced.
Report Post »2. I have no problem with Gingrich as house leader in the 90s. But you proved my points….Notice how hard the republicans fought for a balanced budget when they had control of congress against a democrat president. They stood up to the president and proposed solutions and plans while warning of the consequences of big government. Where has that fiscal motivation in the mid-2000s when they had control of the ENTIRE government? See, it only works when they do NOT have complete control of government. I would like to see Republicans get control of senate AND house (assuming they get rid of McConnell and Boehner). We got some really hellish choices coming up – hope they are ready

You basically stated that in so many words. So let’s not cloud the issue with spin… about “Former’ and “Retired”. You don’t have to be a Retiree in my eyes to have done your duty.

Actually, that question can’t even be verified because Mitt has a talent for saying whatever needs to be said (aka lie, flip flop) to get elected. This nation is getting what it deserves, and if you call yourself a conservative and you support Mitt Romney, you are living a life of contradiction and are part of the problem. You “conservatives” fell for it in 2008 when McCain got the nomination and are falling for it again. I mean really, are McCain and Romney the best that we “conservatives” can come up with!?
