Is there a Ron Paul putsch under way?
World Net Daily ^ | 06/05/12 | Pam Gellar

Is a Paulian putsch being planned for the Republican National Convention?

Newt Gingrich has warned that Republican leaders have not thought through “how they’re going to handle the convention in Tampa, and how they’re going to handle the Ron Paul forces.” The New York Sun reported that “what Mr. Gingrich seems to be worried about is the delegates that Congressman Paul is winning through his strategy of dealing with state conventions. The former speaker had just come from the convention at Georgia, where … the ‘Ron Paul people’ were out in force.”

I have been receiving alarming emails concerning an underhanded, anti-American Ron Paul coup that is being plotted for the GOP convention.

From Virginia: “I’m running for delegate to the RNC convention in Tampa. There is a serious Paulbot infestation in the GOP here in Virginia. I’m spending a lot of time at GOP apparatchik meetings. I’ve gotten the endorsement of the Conservative Coalition (I was the top vote-getter), and usually that is enough but not this cycle.”

And this came in from a reader of my website AtlasShrugs.com out West: “There is a very interesting situation going on behind the scenes in the Republican Party state caucuses, and the MSM is not reporting it. Ron Paul’s followers have taken control of the Republican state committees in Nevada, Alaska, Iowa, Maine and Louisiana and working for more control in upcoming meetings. They have stolen delegates to the upcoming Republican National Convention away from Mitt Romney by following some technical rules.”

RINOmney is Obama lite.

Or maybe not so lite as you think. He is a competent manager. He can get things done. He may not be so flamboyant but he will get things past a republican Congress that the kenyan might have some trouble with.

He changed things substantially in Massachusetts. He gave the leftward progress on that state a good swift kick farther to the left.

"Let me get this straight, they “stole” delegates by “following the rules?”

Too funny isn't it. Lol, GOPe really really does not like Ron Paul, but conservatives do. Particularly Constitutional/Fiscal conservatives.

Read my posts to the these radical Paul nutters on Monday.
You will see their bold faced radicalism in action.

They were so bold as to cry and whine that the LA GOP put a stop to their coup attempt.
Paul was crushed in the LA primary vote and came in dead last but these radicals want to control the delegation and screw the LA voters wishes.

These PAULBOTS are radical leftists getting marching orders from Axelrod and our Alinsky Pres.

These same radical swarmed over Hillary supporters using the same tactics in 2008.

GOP heads better stop these Obama drones posing as Paul supporters.

It didn’t get much attention (surprise) but Paulites took over the party in Mn and took most of the delegates.

A very sucessful putsch here.

This conservative does not like Paul.
He is not and has never been a conservative.
Paul knows as much about conservatism and the constitution as Fred Phelps knows about the Bible.

You are so emotional you can’t even type straight. No wonder you can’t think straight.

“Anything PaulBots would do will not surprise me, most of the ones I know are insane.”

Really? And what would we say about people who voted for Mittens?

From your link:
According to two sources from the unofficial "Ron Paul" convention, at last count 31 of 44 delegates and alternates that could be confirmed were Ron Paul supporters..
If this is true, MI needs some serious rule changes if this is possible. Or just cancel primary elections and go to backroom fighting.

Not that I like Paul (hint: I don’t), but do you have any hard evidence to back your claim of dementia?
