The rule change had nothing to do with Ron Paul.
His convention trolls and odious activities at the primaries merely gave them an excuse to pull this stunt.
This was aimed at the Tea Party grassroots and Conservatives.
The nominee was already chosen for us long before any primaries were held.
Look at how Florida was sddenly ‘all awarded to Romney’ despite the RNC rules sayng that it wasn’t to be so before ‘a certain date’.
I agree mostly with what you said... Paul gave them a reason to pull this off, and the timing was perfect.... BUT, not all of us are that stupid or blind.
I just pray that we can fix this really soon before there really IS a CWII.
Yeah. Romney was going to win the 2012 nomination since he came second in the 2008 primary because the Republican Party was going to get him over the finish line of the primary no matter what. They pulled out all the stop to get Romney the nomination. First off they miscalculated the winner in Iowa which was Rick Santorum. They forced candidates off the ballot in Virginia. They attacked all conservatives who ran against Romney. And then came Florida. And now this charade at the convention. They want all conservatives out of the party by the looks of it. You do know that after the Paulbots were kicked out all that was left at the convention floor was 100% MittBots. Other than the speakers and invited guests.
Agreed. With the advances we've made at the State level, the GOP/RINO insiders are quaking in their Italian patent leather loafers.
My own State went to Santorum in the primaries. I know, because I was one of those votes. We elected our delegates and off we went...
