Red Mass Group is reporting that the Romney Campaign is planning on decertifying the Ron Paul delegates that won positions at the MA State Caucuses on April 28th to the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida under the “Ronald Reagan Unity Liberty Slate, by invoking Rule 5.2, which requires delegates to be certified by the “allocation committee.”

Translation: We aint certifying no stinking Ron Paul Delegates

Cut and Run should get no Republican delegates. A person should have to be a Republican to get Republican delegates and Appeasement Paul and his band of surrender monkeys are anything but Republicans.

RP did his bit for Mitt in scuttling the conservative gambit—now he must hold his sword and fall on it.

Romney is a royal pos but he ain't a commie and his dogs aren't et.

I am not so sure it was unintended. That is how cynical I am.

Romney won the MA Primary. Then they had a State Caucus to choose delegates. Don’t ask me why. The MA GOP Chairman mailed out the slate of ultra liberal, old guard candidates. When Conservatives saw that there was not one of the newly elected conservative State Committee, tea party etc members, that took over half of the committee seats in the March 6th Primary, they did what Conservatives always do when forced to vote against their principles, they stayed home and didn’t bring anybody in to vote for Romney, so thhe Ron Paul People mobilized and took over. Good for them! They just followed the rules. The GOP doesn’t like what happened and now they want to change the rules.

Doing nothing but driving voters away as fast as possible.

The GOP doesn’t like what happened and now they want to change the rules.

They're getting plenty of practice.

The Michigan Republican Party (MRP) Credentials Committee voted 4-2 last night to give Mitt Romney both of the state's at-large delegates, State Policy Committee Chair Mike Cox told MIRS today.

Cox was one of two "no" votes on the committee which met via telephone, along with attorney Eric Doster The "yes" votes included GOP National Committeeman Saul Anuzis, a Romney supporter, and MRP Chair Bobby Schostak.

That would put the delegate split at 16 for Romney and 14 for Rick Santorum, after each candidate won 14 delegates apiece in those divided by Michigan's 14 congressional districts.

As MIRS first reported on Wednesday, the MRP was delaying a final decision on the delegate split until after consulting with attorneys.

Cox said that according to the MRP rules, Santorum and Romney should each get one of Michigan's two at-large delegates based on their take of the popular vote.

"I supported Mitt, but the vote was clearly wrong," Cox said of the Credentials Committee. "It's kind of like Third World voting. We published rules and then we voted to change the rules."

I can see the GOP calling us "bitter gun owners and Bible clingers" in the near future.

So the GOP should let any anti-American receive delegates just because they FOLLOW the RULES ? Shouldn't they have to follow Republican principles? Cut and Run as I posted before is no more a Republican than Obama. There is nobody running who hates America more than Appeasement Paul.

Romney is far from my first choice, but at least he does not want to see America run by mooseslimes. The surrender monkey would rather surrender to our enemies than defeat them.

In your IMO, and a swift boat load more peoples too!

Last 2 elections NEITHER party put up a Constitutionally Eligible Candidate.

MC Lame was not born on base. It was Panamanian, barely, but it was not US soil.

Myth's daddy was a Mexican National. Again Not Eligible.

Rigged rigged rigged rigged rigged rigged rigged.

Wait till Bammy refuses to hand over the office because the bishop's not a fully NBC!

Why do I have this sick feeling in my stomach that Paul's robots are gonna attempt to cause maximum damage...perhaps culminating in the whackjob himself announcing a third party run.Good God...Texas has some mighty fine people but it has more than its share of looney toons as well.
