Ron Paul supporters
continue to have significant influence over state republican party gatherings. Perhaps the GOP will be pressured to actually pursue limited government?

The Paulites are a bunch of A #1 A-Holes...we've had to deal with them at every one of our WA state caucuses and the state convention.

And what type of people /person don't/doesn't go to a political party convention and then sits on their ass and attempts to insult those that do?

Yes, how did you know?
It's so frustrating...they just don't adhere to the appropriate attire, know how to hold a teacup with the pinkie extended just so, or even the proper etiquette when one is nibbling crustless cucumber sandwiches. Can you believe it?
Simply tragic.

Far be it for us Constitutional “assholes” to get in the way of you and your boy John McTraitor and your new world order. If you’re happy and you know it, shake your chains.

Same with Oklahoma and our precinct meetings, County, District, and State Conventions. They received a small percentage of votes but tried to become delegates to vote for Ron Paul on the first ballot when we are a winner take all state. They didn’t intend to play by the Rules and haven’t in most states so far. The Republican Assemblies Crowd in my state joined with the Paul folks but failed and the Oklahoma delegation will follow the rules of Oklahoma for winner take all.

A Harris County judge on Wednesday ordered the Texas Republican Party to comply with state election law [...] Can you imagine that?! How dare those Paulites insist on the law being followed?!

It seems to me that most things annoying come out of Texas; like Ron Paul, Ross Perot, LBJ, the Cowboys, Jim Wright, etc., etc,.
To: traviskicks
A friend (Huckabee supporter) who has been active in his R precinct for many years attended his TX county convention. He was not and is not a RP supporter, but he had never seen such rule-breaking by the party establishment.
The old guard are a bunch of Tories who definitely put party over principle.

It seems to me you conveniently left one or two recent presidents and a vice-president out. Intentionally?
To: PhiKapMom; SoCalPol
Your complaints -- and your style -- are so similar to SoCalPol's, I have to ask: are you related in some way?
Your first-hand stories, mostly unsupported by so much as a Daily Oklahoman article, should qualify you as the Queen of Anecdotes on FreeRepublic.
And Mr. SoCalPol has got to be a contender for King, at least for San Diego if not all of California.
