    This is not the ideal way to run for a GOP nomination….

    It might be a good way to conduct secret meetings to form a new government…

    Mr. KING objected to one of the rules in the Report authorising any member to call for the yeas & nays and have them entered on the minutes. He urged that as the acts of the Convention were not to bind the Constituents, it was unnecessary to exhibit this evidence of the votes; and improper as changes of opinion would be frequent in the course of the business & would fill the minutes with contradictions.

    Col. MASON seconded the objection; adding that such a record of the opinions of members would be an obstacle to a change of them on conviction; and in case of its being hereafter promulged must furnish handles to the adversaries of the Result of the Meeting. The proposed rule was rejected nem. contradicente.

    Dodd:

    Well, there’s precedent: McCain, Giuliani, and Gingrich. And I’m sure Rush would lend his support.

  4. Jack says:

    Ummm…. so “people” are men, unless he supports gay marriage, that is.

    Just, wow…

  5. TG Chicago says:

    … and “wives” are definitely not people. 😛
