Exactly.
And none of those three won the nomination?
Exactly. They (Paultards)are nuttier than the Scientologists.
Libtard media FUD and Paul kooks stiring the pot to make the kenyan look better. Maybe even some Goode fringe breaking bad too.
This not about Paulbots! There are a lot of conservatives and Tea Party folks greatly disturbed about this - Romney and the GOPE are trying to have complete control over any dissent in 2016 and beyond
Where Preibus and Romney need to tighten things up is the definition of who meets the brand standards. It's pretty loose these days
Exhibit A: Mitt Romney.
Out of the 16 candidates I examined closely, only 3 had been lifelong conservative Republicans. All the rest had recent, or questionable ties to the Republican party.
Yeah! We need to make sure there are no more so-called 'converts' to the Republican brand! God forbid we nominate a 'convert' to the GOP like Ronald Reagan...
Trying to cut out the Paul-ites — just they have tried to change the rules in State after State to get “their” guy in...
Why wait?
We’ve seen our last honest and open election. Cook County has gone national and Soviet at the same time, America has no clue what time it already is, yet everyone is acting like our votes are going to matter come November.
This is an Insider’s game now. It’s all about the machine and creating illusions to placate the masses.
In state after state (MO, MN, MI, OH) we have found that delegates have been elected to support another candidate while secretly being for Paul. This is dishonest.
I am with you!!! If Romney had any sense he would have courted a lot of those people here call paulbots. Like it or not they are NOT all burnouts or kooks, a lot are just sick and tired of republican spending, and promises never kept. And they could have been won over, but he never tried. Nor has he tried to court Conservative and Tea party voters. He and the RNC have no love for us at all, any of us.
Courting the votes of Conservatives AND Libertarians (not all they believe in but most) would have gotten him a landslide, the the establishment GOP has never wanted either in the party, they think we have no choice to vote for them, and this year they may be right! This latest regarding delegates is just another example, and people who approve need be careful what they wish for.
Obama wins, we lose. Romney wins, we still lose.
People had better wake up as to what's going on!
I attended Ron Paul’s breakout speech during the TX GOP Convention. Only to observe. I could not be part of what he is, but many things he says are spot on. Others are out in far left field.
That said, there is a problem with the GOPe strangling the party.
Just found this a few minutes ago:
Palin Hints at Formation of Third Party

(she is not talking this election cycle, but later. On that I agree it is a risk.)
Zeke Miller and Ben Smith of BuzzFeed are agents for Obama 2012. Don’t let these f**kers divide us!
Team Romney has been the one changing the rules, not Paul's people. And quite frankly, we ought to be commending them for standing up to the corrupt, decrepit GOP-E instead of trashing them.
And before anyone even goes there, I have never supported Paul.
Thanks for this heads-up thread.
Well, it seems to me that they've been incredibly effective...so much so that the GOP-E is having to deal both with them and Ron and Rand Paul.
In case you haven't noticed, the GOP-E has already divided us.
