Over 120 delegates to the Republican National Convention have joined a lawsuit against the GOP arguing they have been illegally coerced into choosing Mitt Romney for the partys presidential nominee and demanding they be unbound to vote for another candidate instead.
The federal lawsuit, filed this week in U.S. District Court in California by mostly supporters of Ron Paul, demands the delegates be freed to vote their conscience for presidential nominee at the partys August national convention in Tampa, Fla., rather than being bound to vote for a certain candidate, as many state party bylaws require, based on the primary elections and other delegate selection procedures.
<snip>
The Republican National Committee and its chairman have been aiding the Governor Romney campaign for at least six months, the lawsuit asserts. The RNC and its chairman, defendant Reince Priebus, have combined with a particular candidate with all of the aid the RNC can possibly, but improperly give to obstruct, intimidate and harass delegates from voting their conscience.
Specifically, the lawsuit charges Republican officials and operatives have used threats of violence, certified unlawful slates of delegates, demanded affidavits of loyalty to Romney under penalty of perjury and have even altered ballot results to make sure the national convention is stacked with delegates who will vote for Romney.

The DNC and the GOP are really one party with 2 heads. They’re both bought and paid for by the privately owned central bankers. These RP delegates can put up a fight, but the Bilderberg types will never allow them to win as all the judges are under their control.
And Obamass says “YES”, my next four years are assured.
No, no they don't.
The reason they are bound to Mitt is because the voters of their state voted for Mitt, and they are bound by their state party rules to represent those voters, not their own wishes.
Ron Paul's asperger army has always hated the Democratic process because when it's open and transparent, they lose. They lose every time. They only manage to get ahead when there are few people looking and they can out-nerd their opponents on rules or technicalities.
That's what this is about; they are angry that the Republican primary voters, whom they have nothing but contempt for since they exist outside their narrow clique, are dictating *gasp* who is the nominee and are turning to the courts.
Here's the true demonstration of hypocrisy: if this is what Ron Paul really thinks should be done, why doesn't he release all his bound delegates (what few he has)?

Would that make the Paulbots happy?
It will never happen. The last 4 years has really opened my eyes. We have a total Mafia Government run by 2 crime families (Gop and Dnc) who in turn are run by the Central Bankers (House of Rothchild and House of Rockerfeller). They control everything, including the judges so you can’t win in court. Romney will be the nominee, to be the next Front Man in the White House.
We are at the precipice: either total Tyranny wins or the Tree of Liberty gets water with blood..........LOTS OF BLOOD.
Legal ping, my love.
Vote Mittens, and you’ll just get different schmucks to fill those positions. Obomney already has ObamaCare and RomneyCare propagandists in mind. Maybe amnesty Rubio will be the VP too, or some other rat.
Why don’t we just suspend the election, just give it to Obama, make Mexico the 51st state, outlaw traditional marriage, unilaterally disarm, and give up all sovereignty to the U.N.

Hasn’t Romney supported all of those?

Santorum ran in the primary
Santorum lost
Gingrich lost
Paul lost
Sarah Palin was not even in the primaries
There are no do-overs for people who demand a rerun
Go back to DU and Obama for America

The consequences will be the same with Romney in office.
Kyrie, eleison .
Romney's no Reagan but he's no Obama. There's only one Communist in Chief and he HATES this country with a passion.

Political parties have a right to set their rules as they see fit. Are we going to get the Feds to pick our candidates now?
"Political parties have a right to set their rules as they see fit. Are we going to get the Feds to pick our candidates now?"
Ehh. The RNC was breaking it's own rules in various instances in order to push Romney. It's all moot now. I'm not obsessing over it. I thought it was pretty much obvious to everyone that the RNC was pushing Romney from the beginning.
Romney is a soft socialist.
I'll vote for either over obama.
And if Paul breaks the GOPe machine, I'll cheer that.
But Paul is a nut. Truther nut.
OK. Writing that made me stop short. I loath truthers. Despise. As in have been willing to go to prison to beat down (scum at issue backed down).
I seriously HATE our options...
You are also NOT ALONE. None of us are... not those that believe.
LLS
It’s the Punch and Judy show. Two puppets, one puppeteer. Everybody pays.
His domestic policy is 100% spot on. His foreign policy is suicidal. What an enigma.

Yup, Paul is a nut. He makes no sense ideologically. He's Mr. "Constitution", yet he's an apologist for America's enemies. The very enemies who wish to destroy our Constitution. WTF?
And like you, I despise troothers. To me, troothers are cowards who cannot face the actual truth. And in their cowardice, they transform into collaborators with the enemy. Despicable.
Very unhappy about our options. Obama is such a radical freak we could have gotten Jerry Fallwell elected president. Think of someone so socially conservative that it would make the average "independent" cringe in horror, and they would have gladly voted for him in order to get rid of Obama. The most ghastly left-wing President in history actually presented the opportunity of a generation for conservatives. Gone. Wasted. Deferred to the cynical agenda of the GOP establishment.
Under Obama we may as well rephrase that with hopes we can be a state of Mexico or some other nation. Sad but true.
I don’t mean to barge in, but do you have a link to a test that’s not an hour long?
Paul would be good in a cabinet position where he gets to deal with financial issues at home, as well as going after people for doing bad things. As long as he has no say in foreign policy, or even have much ability to sign his name to get things done, then his nuttiness should be contained.
You are right to say the Paulbots are useful idiots but this has nothing to do with supporting conservatives and the Paulbots do not deserve support. The Ron Paul and his group have lied and cheated throughout the process. They have tried to overturn the wishes of voters and steal delegates through slimy, dishonest tactics.
The Paulbots will NEVER support an honest, principled conservatives. They have been working to help Romney in the primaries. They have been working to help Obama from the beginning.
Great post. I wish even some freepers would wAke up to the damage Obama is causing.
“The DNC and the GOP are really one party with 2 heads. Theyre both bought and paid for by the privately owned central bankers. These RP delegates can put up a fight, but the Bilderberg types will never allow them to win as all the judges are under their control.”
Your score for this post is 100/100 for the clear statement of harsh truths. You will probably be called an Obot or Paulbot for not playing the game and supporting the distinction without a difference like a good party peon should.
“The most ghastly left-wing President in history actually presented the opportunity of a generation for conservatives. Gone. Wasted.”
Deliberately sabotaged.
I am done with the Geriatric Old Plotters.
I disapprove.
What's the point of having primary elections if the delegates— delegated by voters to attend conventions in our stead— can go there and vote who they want without reference to the expressed wishes of those voters?
Had this been a bunch of Santorum-favoring delegates, whose actions would mean "my guy" would "win", I'd still be against it, and for the same reasons. If "we" "win" that way, the Republic loses in the long term.
lol
I’ll give the Paulbot’s an A+ for effort :)
But I think that ship has sailed.
Romney's an anti American Sovereignty, new world order globalist just like Obama...
They are on the same team...They are both just players in the game...
One thing's for sure, from here on out it's going to be a wild ride to the bottom...
TARP, RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE, DeathPanels,
Sharia, Special Deals, Vulture Corporatism.
Mr. RomneyCARE is EXACTLY like Obama.
.
That pretty much sums it up...
.
MENSA used to be in Brooklyn NY
- They are now in Texas - Give them phone call
They do no accept any test results given after they started being race-normed and ‘adjusted’
MENSA turned down both Bill and Hillary Clinton - told them they would have to be tested by a MENSA certified shrink
.
Did they? Really?
and they are bound by their state party rules to represent those voters, not their own wishes.
Who enforces that?
There was no primary election in the State of Washington. The Democrat controlled legislature canceled the primary election. The party caucus was used as the sole substitute for the canceled primary election. In our precinct, Almost half the votes went to Gingrich. Romney didn't get even one-quarter of the votes.However, the way in which the delegates to the county convention and caucus were selected, about 70 percent of the delegates represented Romney with only one delegate, myself, represented Gingrich. In other words, the will of the voters in this precinct was subverted and not represented by the canceled primary election. Instead, many of the delegates to the Republican county convention were current and/or former Democrats who publicly admitted to having voted for Obama in the last election and for Romney in the present caucus substitute for the canceled primary election.
