Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22524568 Well August is not the middle of the summer, but it's still in the summer time. You get the idea though. |

It's been planned so that Ron Paul's shindig tomorrow (Sunday, Aug. 26) gets disrupted. I know it's inside, but the logistics of it and the turnout will diminish in hurricane conditions. Apollo astronauts couldn't have passed through Van Allen's Belt. Van Allen wore suspenders. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5073178 Isn't this really bad for the GOP? The convention is supposed to give R-Money a bump in the polls, which may not happen. THANK YOU, MOTHER NATURE! Or God, or HAARP, or whoever is responsible. |

I have RP delegates on my FB, the scoop is they're SAYING they're delaying it, but there's still plans for Monday. They're pulling out all the stops to stop the RP delegation. There are also (unconfirmed) rumors that they're planting weed in delegates in-room hotel safes. There's lots of info posts about having hotel security open them when they go to their rooms and to not leave any possessions where they can be tampered with. This all smells super-duper shady. |
