I thought he never conceded precisely so he had to be allowed on the floor?

Never heard of this rule before.

Me neither;  I kinda figured that participants at party conventions were determined by, you know, the party.

Paul does have a lot of supporters there, even among the Romney delegates. I heard my entire state delegation are Paulites.

They should probably be kept away from any sharp objects.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

:huh: Why in the world would you want to keep them away from the sharp objects?

So they don't stab people.  People like that should be kept in rubber rooms where they can ponder the true meaning of freedom in solace.

Sarah Palin: Not speaking.

Smart move.

I was really hoping that Mittens, unable to control even his own campaign, would've carried the theme over to the GOP convention and let it turn into a Tea Party monkey shit fight at the zoo, but alas, it seems like they're going to stick to a specific script.  I suppose that can be attributed more to the RNC than any of the retards in the Mittens campaign, though.

I don't think they are even letting Ron Paul speak.
Rand Paul will speak.

I wonder if he'll be a perennial candidate like his father is.

And of course since this is Languish, Biden's latest gaffe yesterday was not mentioned here.

And apparently he thought he was in North Carolina when he was actually in Virginia :lol:

Yeah, I saw it and didn't say anything as I figured - what's the point?

Isn't a gaffe when a politician accidentally tells the truth?  :ph34r:
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

No.  We've been over that before.

I did a search for gaffe to see if I could find that quote: the first autocomplete for "gaffe" was "joe biden gaffes".
