Mike Weber is a Nevada Republican Party gadfly who has been mounting his soapbox and disrupting GOP Central Committee meetings for more than a dozen years now. His “shtick” is to incessantly whine about Roberts Rules of Order and the bylaws at pretty much every meeting while the rest of the group would prefer to, you know, do stuff to actually get Republicans elected.
Those who have witnessed Weber’s act in the past realize this is more about Weber loving to hear the sound of his own voice than anything else. It’s all about him, not the party.
So it really came as no surprise to Weber Watchers that when a band of renegade Paultards at the Nevada GOP convention decided to disrupt the proceedings and keep the party from completing its business in an orderly and expeditious fashion that ol’ Mike jumped into the fray and thrust himself into the front of the chaos as a leader of the malcontents.
As we all know by now, the state convention didn’t finish electing delegates to the national convention. And the Paultards decided to try to reconvene their own renegade convention and boycott the real one. Which meant the party wasn’t able to attain a quorum - so the Executive Committee of the party, in its duly authorized role, was forced to appoint delegates to attend the national convention in Minnesota next month.
To which Mike Weber has now filed an official, 32-page “Petition of Contest” urging the Republican National Committee to (a) not seat the delegates appointed by the party’s Executive Committee and instead seat the delegates he claims were “elected” at the Paultard convention which was neither authorized nor legitimate and which failed to attain a quorum in any event, and (b) reprimand Nevada Chairwoman Sue Lowden, Convention Chairman state Sen. Bob Beers and the entire Executive Committee of the Nevada Republican Party, as well as issue an official censure to the party’s legal counsel and the convention Rules Chairman.
As if there’s a snowball’s chance in hell of any of that happening.
But here’s where Weber really shows his true colors and proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that his theatrics are all about stroking his own ego, not helping elect Republican candidates or helping build a stronger party organization. On line 1,315 of Page 30 on Michael Weber’s “Petition of Protest,” Michael Weber makes “The Case for Commendation of Michael Weber, State Delegate from Nevada.”
That’s right. Mike Weber is actually asking the Republican National Committee to issue him an official commendation for his role in gumming up the works at the state GOP convention and perpetuating the mess afterward. Get a load of the case Mike Weber makes for commending Mike Weber for Mike Weber’s actions:
“As an elected delegate to the 2008 Nevada Republican State Convention, Michael Weber demonstrated exemplary service (to) the Republican Party for volunteering his time and financial resources to reconvene said convention and file this petition. He sacrifices his own campaign for public office to seek justice for an aggrieved group of state delegates. Despite nearly insurmountable obstacles presented by the State Party Chairman, the NRCC Executive Committee, the state rules committee, and the NRCC General Counsel, Weber remained firm in his resolve to defend the Principles, rules, bylaws and processes of the Republican Party.
“The actions of Weber demonstrate an unwavering dedication to Republican principles that is considered exemplary. This petition seeks a Letter of Highest Commendation be issued Michael Weber and his family for actions taken in the best traditions of the Republican Party to defend the Principles, rules, bylaws and processes of the Republican Party.”
The chutzpah of asking for “a Letter of Highest Commendation” for himself is simply breathtaking. But then again, when it comes to Mike Weber, it’s always about Mike Weber. Well, at least the RNC’s Committee on Contests will enjoy a hearty belly laugh at Mike Weber’s expense, right before telling him and the Paultards to pound dirt.

Time until the Paultards descend upon this blog ranting about the unfairness of it all 3… 2… 1…
What a pitiful loser Mike Weber is. Quite sad that he is so insecure that he spends his time desperately seeking attention and trying to be noticed by others. He’s an even bigger loser than the short-bus riders (’tards) because even they don’t count him as one of their own. How low do you have to be in the loser category that even those turds don’t claim you?
Is the Petition available online?
Chuck,
I’m wondering whether the quoted text above is simply the resolution that was passed at the June 28 re-”convention.” I know there was a resolution commending Mike Weber at that meeting, and would guess that the Petition is asking the RNC to approve all the actions taken on June 28, including the Resolution found on Page 30.
However, without the Petition to read, I’m not sure. Do you have a copy you could post?
I’ve never read your blog before. Since I don’t take kindly to the term “Paultard” and its inferrence, how about I coin a term for Chuck Muth?
I think Fuck Face sums up how I feel. At least it’s not deragotory to diabled people.
I’m sure you’ll be deleting this ASAP, but thanks for the constant insults Fuck Face.
Sincerely,
Markus, AKA “Paultard”
Actually, I’m leaving it up. Thanks for helping to prove my case about you
Paultards. You have neither political sense nor any class. Way to go,
Markus.
I gave up on political sense and class when I learned that the State GOP is run by the same like-minded “conservatives” as yourself. Please, I beg you to justify your own political sense and class by degrading over 1 million Americans with the term Paultard, not to mention the millions of disabled Americans - even those who ride the “short bus”.
Really classy. I can’t believe you’re actually published. It’s very sad a pathetic that you stoop to such levels. I’m glad you were able to finally drag me down your level. Now you’re really doing your part to improve humanity.
You are a true Paultard, as you have no idea what you’re talking about. “Paultards” doesn’t refer to EVERY Ron Paul supporter (I’m one myself); just the whack jobs such as yourself.
And I suspect you never had any political sense or class in the first place, as demonstrated above.
What do you mean “I don’t know what I’m talking about”?
I see you insulting massive groups of people and I call you out on it. This makes me a “whack job” by default?
Why do you not say, “The Paultards (less myself, tsk tsk) are at it again.” You clearly have never made any distinction between a “Paultard” and simply a Ron Paul supporter.
Where is your definition? This argument is senseless when you read any of your blog posts regarding any Ron Paul supporters in the state of Nevada.
I merely respond to your childish name calling that is better reserved for a grade school playground and I’m suddenly a whack job.
Feel free to come over and canvass my precinct Sparks. I was out canvassing day in and day out, shoveling driveways of every Republican in my neighborhood. I handed out the literature, I promoted conservative values, I cited the constitution, and I earned the respect of my fellow Republicans to represent them at the county and state conventions.
Where were you? You self proclaimed Ron Paul support status seem questionable at best.
As I understand it, you weren’t even at the convention, were you?
Look, i”ll be happy to refrain from further name calling if you’re willing to do the same. After all, we’re supposedly fighting for the same thing. Aren’t we? Why do you feel it necessary to degrade others in some self righteous attempt of superiority.
You’re not serving the public any good.
Markus, you are a candy-ass. Talk tough, then back down the first instance somebody gets in your face. If you had a pair you would stand up like a man. I had some respect for you after your first reply, even though you are wrong like all the other conspiracy theory turds. Then you started in with the “I’ll be happy to refrain from name calllng bull*&it and you showed your true gender. You’re a wimp. It doesn’t matter that you’re a Paultard. Be proud. Be a man and take your beating instead of running to make nice-nice like a little girl.
Mike is so great, the people have spoken and they overwhelmingly chose Mike Weber for State Assembly. Oh, wait, he lost, HANDILY! Ha! Gee, I didn’t even run and he barely beat me. I’m sure Mike had your vote, Markus.
Glad to see you’re brining up the rear on this thread as the sole loyal fan of Chuck. It looks like I may have gotten through to Mr. Muth on some level as he is no longer commenting on this.
So Chuck may continue on with his grade-school-level name calling and I’m positive you’ll continue on with your grade-school-level, “Naa na na naa na”.
Keep it rolling Abe. As for myself, I believe I’ve made my point. Feel free to have the last word; I won’t be responding.
I’ll be sure to check in our your super sweet composition of the next “Naa na na naa na” reply. I’m sure it will feel good to have the last juvenile poke in the eye.
It does feel good, candy-ass Markus. Hey, how did those Paultard candidates fare in the primary? I see that your buddy, that fat slob James Smack had his rear handed to him. Serves him right for being such an obstructionist at the state convention. Ditto for that little girl Carla Bunce who talked soooo tough. You remember him? Said he was raising loads of cash for his election all the while bragging about how much “international traffic” he was getting on his web site. Yeah, all those french web surfers put him over the top, didn’t they. You and the rest of those turds are pathetic. Muth has other columns to write and respond to, hence, no replies from him. I, however, don’t. I have the benefit of being able to kick the proverbial bully (thats you Paultard turds, because of the way you acted for the last year) while you’re down and out, and I’m taking advantage of it. Now roll over while I kick some more sand in your face, sissie boy.
Sorry, Markus…you just aren’t that important. Maybe after I get past “Wash socks” on my list of things to do I’ll be able to waste some more time on your nonsense.
