youtube.com — Despite their efforts to stall and not debate anything, the "no recommended" resolutions had been reached and many McCain people left the room to break quorum. Much to their surprise and the surprise of the state party officials quorum was met by the remaining Ron Paul and McCain supporters.

What was the purpose in them even attending the convention in the first place? Lazy people. Our Founding Fathers did not have revised Robert's Rules of Order to manage things at the first few conventions of the States. They managed to debate and I'm sure at times to fight it out. So, it may take some time, if you had better things to do you should have stayed home. Obviously the current voting process is so beyond corrupt, I propose we settle things with a good old fashioned "Shin-Kicking Contest" A sport that has been around since the 1400's. May the best shin-kicker win!!!

Not sure if you comment implied the chairman was in on it or not, but In all fairness, the elected chairman Kirby Wilbur was a great chairman. He was getting pretty fed up with dilatory actions and good old fashioned stupidity on the part of anyone. Whenever the same McCain supporter would come to the mic to say something that he'd said a dozen times already he'd roll his eyes at it, knowing the bulls**t it was. In this clip it seems like he is off-the-handle, but by this point he had put up with a lot of crap and I think he was disgusted at the walkout, and many repeated acts of just not paying attention.

I heard that security was telling people to stop filming, which was the height of stupidity since the entire thing was being broadcast live on TVW. It's always nice to see people use cameras as weapons, nothing makes one more self-aware than when the camera is pointed in their direction. Insecure people in positions of authority react the worst to the thought that their insecurity manifested will show up on YouTube.
