zany : comical in an endearing way; imaginatively funny or comical, especially in behavior
Jeff Bales, a Ron Paul supporter and Member at Large of the Pima County GOP has called for the resignation of RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. Bales is alleging that Priebus is showing favoritism towards Mitt Romney, and claims that Ron Paul is still in the race.
“Due to an alleged violation of the national GOP’s Rule # 11 (bans favoritism of one candidate while more than one candidate exists), an Executive Committee member within the GOP calls for the resignation of RNC Chairman Reince Priebus,” writes Bales.
Bales, who describes himself as a “simple” man, hopes to win the Ron Paul revolution through Facebook and other social networking sites including CNN ireport. Bales is being supported by a fringe group. The GOP has been under attack by many fringe elements including failed Tucson mayoral candidate Shaun McClusky who now claims to control the url of the Pima GOP.
One Paul supporter, who asked to remain anonymous, has come forward with concerns about the group’s bigger plan for this weekend, as a result of what she believes are “less than honorable tactics” employed by her fellow Paul supporters. “Their lack of intellectual contribution to the GOP has begun many to speculate there may be Dems in their midst,” she told the ADI.
The stealthy Paul contingent plans to nominate Ron Paul delegates at this weekend’s Arizona Republican Party Convention to send to Florida this summer. They have quietly arranged for Republican delegates for Paul to act like Romney supporters in order to be elected by their unsuspecting fellow Republicans to attend the Republican convention in Florida this summer.
One Paul supporter, Rachel Owen Tyson, claims that “Romney people that have been dressing up as Paul supporters and passing out fake slates of delegates to vote on.”
Tin foil hats are soon to be in short supply in the Paul ranks.
According to various sources, the Paul supporters intend to invoke “Rule 38” which states that States and Congressional Districts cannot “bind” their delegates in the case of a second ballot.
Bales posted on Facebook a video of a news report in which “Rule 38″ is discussed, and wrote “sshhhh” to his “friends.”

Vote for Mitt Romney.
He supports the Patriot Act, just like Obama does.
He supports the NDAA, just like Obama does.
He supported the Libyan war, which Obama is under impeachment for, just like Obama did.
He supported bailouts, having received one, just like Obama does.
He supported all the wars, just like Obama did.
He supports warrantless wiretapping, just like Obama does.
Or vote for Obama. It’s the same thing.
Really, who cares who you vote for? As long as they don’t support the 4th or 5th amendment, and want to go to war all the time, and don’t care about basic American civil rights – just vote for them.
Amen to that Richard! There’s not much difference between the two. I’m voting for the honest man who wants to clean up the filth in Washington.
This cracked me up:
“One Paul supporter, Rachel Owen Tyson, claims that “Romney people that have been dressing up as Paul supporters and passing out fake slates of delegates to vote on.””
Here’s the video proof of them doing exactly this in Maine:

Oh, but we’re PARANOID.
It’s not being paranoid. Some people just can’t handle the truth.
“Tin foil hats are soon to be in short supply in the Paul ranks”. I am very upset with this statement. I didnt get a tin foil hat
Any way to get revenue I guess..however, the more the media tries to portray Ron Paul as fringe and with small support, the more they will have egg on their face…AND the more romney supporters get lazier and lazier with false security….Way to go!!—keep it up!—BTW, I love when the “Anonymous” interjection takes precedence in a “news” story….Fail.
Whoever wrote this crap should remove their tinfoil hat and shoot themselves in their retard head. Romney did have paid campaign staff dressed as a paul supporter handing out fakes slates.
The “zany” Paul supporters bring back common sense to the GOP. I was never before aware of the full out dirty polititics until thoroughly explained by one such supporter.
Obama and Romney are actually largely funded by the same bailed out Wall Street banks. Have you ever asked yourself why a person or group would fund players on each side? The answer here is quite simple: by funding Obama primarily and then his opposer secondly they are stacking the deck. This means that by default that Obama wins the second term. The GOP is being rigged for utter failure and then everyone wonders why Paul supporters act as they do. Without a public outcry there is not even possibility for change.
Can Americans really be so dumb that they cannot put these pieces together?
Tin Foil Hat. Interesting idea Loretta. Ya know I think we should get three point patriot hats made with silver/gold glitter material and pass them out in Tampa. That way we can promote SILVER and GOLD as the only sound money and we will all know who the Ron Paul people really are! Wear it with pride people!
Hey Loretta,
Wouldn’t want you to have a mark on your record as a journalist, so I thought I would provide you w/ some research that will help your article be more factual.
Fake Delegate Slates

Ah, the juvenile world of politics: like a trip back in time to your high school days when being knowledgeable and/or passionate was a sign of weakness and a magnet for ridicule, and everyone bowed to the influence of the “popular” kids. Of course, those kids weren’t popular for any particular reason. There was nothing inherently special or outstanding about them. And they only existed because no one ever questioned their existence. Everyone just went along with it.
Why include a list of Ron Paul donors and supporters at the end of a smear article? Step 7 of the 10 steps to fascism: “Target key individuals.”
Step 9: “Recast dissent as treason.”
Land of the Free? The U.S. makes up less than 5% of the world’s population, but we make up 25% of the world’s prison population. At least 1 in every 100 citizens in the U.S.A. have been incarcerated by our government. True story. Look it up.
People of America, you are being duped. The government doesn’t serve the people; it serves itself. You are being made into obedient, stupid slaves for a New World Order. Open your eyes. See the evil that is happening to you. Our government assassinates its own citizens. Rise up! Throw off the yoke! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Obama Vs. Romney? Remember, the lesser of two evils is still evil.
Cast a vote for Liberty. Ron Paul – 2012
Love the Paulbots who clutter the comments here on Sonoran Alliance! Tell me “Richard Wicks” “Anna Marie” “asher” and “Ken” do you also believe that 911 was an “inside job” too?
While you were snoozing or dreaming up clever belittling remarks on GOP constituents gor Ron Paul…
You were scooped. This “issue” was settled amicably per the process we have. GOP constituents were reasonable to address their grievance to the GOP regarding the appearance of candidate favortism prior to convention. The grievance was based on leadership’s own public intention statements prior to the negotiation. Jesse Benton’s statement is here from the Ron Paul campaign:

Crikey, I’m a regular gal with Google access. It wasn’t difficult to find. I believe you can do better in future exercising reasonable care in reporting; however juicy and salacious the temptation was to craft this biased drivel. Boo.
Wow…you actually saw fit to repost this ridiculous garbage? I happened tonbe doing a google search on my name and came across this, again, in which this Janet lady got mad at me because I called her out on her bs on fb so she edited her article to add me into it to try to make me look crazy. The funny thing is though, you are the one that looks stupid because what i said is true. “Truth is treason is the empire of lies”, and you my dear, are no traitor. Baaaa
