Dodgy dealings at the RNC?

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

This one is brought by my crazy cousin who happens to be a Ron Paul convert. According to some sources not only the speaker system conveniently failed while reading the votes for RP during the convention but anyone inside the convention who had any buttons or material from RP had their stuff confiscated.

I get the party unity line etc, but is this 'normal'? Is it a crazy conspiracy theory or is there any substance to the claim? (heck, would the same thing happened to -say- Kucinich at the DNC?).

He's just showing them all what they want, assuming they want McCain.

And they do want McCain. Just think 1984. Like how the Goldberg book/resistance is actually invented by the government.

Kucinich spoke at the Dem convention.

The GOP vets (with varying levels of competence) the audience for any significant event
1. Non-party members only if personally invited for some backstabbing or pseudo bipartisanship
2. Party members only after signing (or otherwise providing) loyalty oaths to the current party line/Duce
To use Animal Farm as an analogy: Only sheep, dogs, ravens and certain pigs, NO DONKEYS!
