The Coup
On May 4th, Rep. Dan Stacy, was able to call for a motion for a quorum which closed the Mo GOP State Convention. He colluded with Rep. Ben Baker who was stalling for time by filibustering every proposal set forth by the Grassroots delegates who passed the duly appointed amendments to the platform.
Rep. Baker was biding time to hopefully run down the clock. He got his wish when Ron Sanders, prompted by a text from Sandy Karnes,fd went to the mic and erroneously reported to the Convention that the Hotel was going to tow cars. I cover the story here and so does Gretchen Garrity on her blog Right To Win Ozarks.
I’m sorry Baker and Stacy. You’re not conservative if you are trying to silence the voice of the majority of the Missouri delegates because you have been bought out by special interests and lobbyists. In fact, you’re either useful idiots or you are tyrants.
Sanders interrupted Baker’s filibustering tactics and in doing so, gave Stacy the leverage he needed to call for a motion for Quorum.
All of the 26 Duly appointed Amendments that had been passed did not have a chance for the final vote to be placed in the platform as they were going to be paced as a group. In the photo, you can see in the hands of a person the amendments. There have been mixed reports on who had access to amendments that day.
There is video of the entire day, record by David Lightner, but paid for by the Missouri GOP. The Missouri GOP has placed this video into a vault so deep, not even Indiana Jones could find it.
The Incompetent Tyrants
At the MO State GOP meeting, I cover how hostile Nick Meyers and his lawyer, Lowell Pearson, are to Jason Soseman. Nick Meyers’ incompetence is built into the system. I believe it’s on purpose as I covered in my interview yesterday about Steven Tilley buying up elected officials.
Jason Soseman is seeking to be a Grassroots driven conservative leader of the Missouri State GOP. With him in charge, maybe we can start raising the funds necessary to keep men like Steven Tilley and Rex Sinquefield from buying politicians like hogs at a wholesale market.
