It's Labor Day. A day that most use as an extra day of rest as a reward for their hard work the rest of the year.
Today, I am going to show you some hard work done by the Republican Party at their convention last week. Sure, it's been over for a few days. Still, I am bothered by what I saw.
The Republicans fought their hardest to keep Ron Paul and his supporters quiet. Here's some great news coverage from Fox 19 News in Cincinnati. Ben Swann's "Reality Check" segment covers how the GOP not only changed the rules at the last minute, but also went so far as to script doing so. They also kept a person heading up those voting against the rules change trapped on a bus circling the stadium while the vote was approaching. The video runs about 5 and a half minutes. The entire thing is worth a peek, but it starts to get really good around 1:14.
Even many Republicans are disgusted by how this unfolded. Here's former RNC Chairman Michael Steele in an interview with Jon Stewart on the Daily Show. He makes it clear that he believes the actions of his own party are disgusting.
If you, too, find these actions disgusting, please share these videos. Help inform those that might not realize what is happening behind the scenes.
I find the behavior disgusting. Hopefully it will backfire and a whole lot of Republicans will vote for Gary Johnson. I know I am!
