Nothing says "Romney is Losing" like Romney and the GOP starting up a NEW PARTY together now in states where Ron Paul delegates have shut establishment people out of the Republican state conventions!

The Las Vegas Sun reported that Romney & the GOP are setting up a "Shadow party" there to run-around the Liberty movement's takeover of their state:

RNC, Romney campaign will erect new organization to bypass state GOP - Politics: Ralston's Flash - Las Vegas Sun

Ben Swan even reported on it tonight... In what was one of the most daring pieces of journalism in modern US history!

If Swann doesn't get fired (or assassinated) for tonight's show, then I'll start to suspect he is either superman or god.

It's in three parts... The second one talks the most about the Shadow Party, but the first and third are Awesome too... And the third one especially shows Ben Swann taking the chance of his career.

Part 1: (7 Min, Brings you up to date)

Part 2: (4 Min. The one with the Shadow Party stuff)

Part 3: (The 3 Min Risky one... Could win Swann a Pulitzer, or get his ass shot.)

I'm thinking we're going to hear about Paul delegates going missing soon... At least one has found herself on an HSA terrorist watch list! This is really starting to get out of hand.
 


I saw that article earlier today. I'm not saying the article is wrong but just remember the seriously left-leaning slant Jon Ralston and the Las Vegas Sun's owner, Brian Greenspun, have. They are both heavily interested/invested in Obama's reelection.

Greenspun lives around the corner from me. Clinton visited his home multiple times while he was in office (and caused all sorts of problems due to the Secret Service security detail in the meantime).

... or get him sued by newscorp for making himself look like a local fox news affiliate when he's really just a random guy with a youtube account. I understand the need for him to appeal to conservatives but taking it to that level is just stupid.

May want to check your facts - He's a reporter with Fox 19 in Cincinnati
https://www.facebook.com/BenSwannRealityCheck
Reality Check with FOX19's Ben Swann from WXIX Cincinnati - FOX19.com-Cincinnati News, Weather & Sports
 
Ben works for a company called Raycom Media, that is " an employee-owned company, one of the nation's largest broadcasters and owns and/or provides services for 48 television stations in 36 markets and 18 states. Raycom stations cover 12.6% of U.S. television households and employ nearly 3,500 individuals in full and part-time positions"... He says that Raycom encourages him to do these because of all that liberty traffic he's been getting... Although tonight I wouldn't doubt it if I heard they reversed that opinion.
 
The reason he put it up on youtube is because they've been getting a shitload of support from around the world since this election cycle started. In addition to the local broadcasts, they are now live streaming and expanding his segment on Friday nights. Local affiliates are not beholden to news corp or fox news, FOX19 is owned by raycom. This is why he's been 'allowed' to do stories like this.
 
Soooooo.... This all begs the question: WTF could Romney do with a Shadow party??

Paul has learned the hard way that running 3rd party is impossible in this country; so how could this shadow party help Robme in those states? Just a face to funnel money from the GOP through?
 
Is there a segment missing that talks about rule 38? Seems like he was going to cover it after part 2.

Also, Ben Swann is an American hero.

Here's the whole thing if anyone is interested in seeing the edited parts.
 
oops, video i posted above is the wrong one. L

Here's the actual full one: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sgbbawQCCE]Reality Check: Liberty Revolution Taking Over GOP (FULL) - YouTube[/ame]

But still not showing the Rule 38 stuff, idk maybe he changed his script when they recorded or something.

ok that makes much more sense, I thought it was just some random youtuber.
 
I said the other Ben Swann is an American hero. I just read his bio and it's pretty impressive:

High school graduate at age 11 (Homeschool)
College degree (Liberal Arts) from BYU at age 15
Master's (History) from California State at age 16.
Originally wanted to become a minister and has already been an assistant pastor and youth minister at a Presbyterian Church in Portland

The GOP (old guard) committeeman, who was just replaced by a Paul supporter in Nevada, is interviewed here and says that he'll use the Shadow Party to deliver Nevada to Romney in Tampa.

As far as I'm concerned, this is treason. And he's proud to tell his plans to the world on TV...!

He can't stop for one minute and think: "Well Rule 11 might be there for a good reason?"

No, he's a sore loser and will go against the constitution and his own organizations' set of laws to do what he thinks is right for the party and country.
