Things are not always as they appear. </div></div> There are two ways a private individual can attend the convention:
1) as a delegate or
2) as a volunteer
So yeah, a Dem signed up to attend the RNC and throw peanuts at the CNN camera operator.

<span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">Can I attend the convention?</span></span>
While tickets will not be available for purchase and quantities are limited, there are several ways an individual can attend convention activities.

<span style="font-weight: bold">To attend the convention in an official capacity, individuals should explore the process of becoming a delegate or alternate delegate</span> from their state of residence.

<span style="font-weight: bold">It is also possible to assist with convention activities as an official volunteer. </span>The Tampa Bay Host Committee is currently recruiting some 7,500 volunteers who will perform key duties during convention week. For information about becoming a volunteer, visit the Tampa Bay Host Committee website at http://2012tampa.com/get-involved/. Please note that Tampa Bay Host Committee volunteers will not be assigned to work in the Tampa Bay Times Forum or the Tampa Convention Center.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Those not able to attend in person can access the convention online at www.gopconvention2012.com.</span> The convention website promises to be the next best thing to a seat inside the Tampa Bay Times Forum. We will strive to create a virtual “convention without walls,” which will provide an intimate look at convention proceedings and activities during the week of August 27th.

Re: Anyone Watching the Republican Natl. Convention?

precisely. they don't need any help with making themselves look bad. they have got that covered.


<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Kia</div><div class="ubbcode-body">a democrat went to great lengths to make the republicans look bad when the republicans can do that on their own?

just like how they make a ruckus when the republican rep from Puerto Rico was about to make her speech. They were chanting 'Kick them out' and 'USA' and yes they had to be told to be quiet

Ladies, I'm not saying that is what happened. Just stiring the pot out loud. It's politricks after all.

They will stop at nothing to gain power.

Infiltrating a political convention can't be that hard.

Is that what happened? Maybe not but it is not out of the question.

I read what you are saying, but respectfully, I along with many other people living in Canada have a pretty good idea of how the American electoral process run. Many I would venture to say, have more of a clue than do many American citizens.

ETA: CNN and the RNC refusing to discuss the incident beyond the &quot;canned statements&quot;. <span style="font-weight: bold">They should name the persons so the media can investigate to find out if operatives from the DNC are behind it.</span></div></div>
I would bet my last dollar that none of those named above are willing to &quot;do the right thing&quot; by investigating this incident because of POLITICS.. They will keep it quiet, push it under the rug and hope it goes away, especially if &quot;race&quot; is involved...
Let's hope someone will speak up.. &quot;We the People&quot; have a Right to know..

Re: Anyone Watching the Republican Natl. Convention?

I think CNN will bust out the picture of the jancrow after the convention (after all it happened to their <span style="font-weight: bold">camera</span> crew.), them probably waiting cause them tired of GOP cussing them for being pro Dem.
