According to an email from some Missouri supporters of Ron Paul, sent late Sunday night, the state Republican Party has scheduled a special “credentials meeting” for 10 a.m. Monday at the Blue Armory in Jefferson City.
At the meeting, according to the email, about 300 of the 1,900 elected delegates to the state GOP convention May 30-June 1 must disprove allegations that — presumably — accuse the targeted delegates of not being bona fide Republicans and/or not committed to supporting John McCain for president.

Upgrading US 59 into I-69 was a completely different project than Gov. Perry’s TTC. The TTC just hyjacked the former I-69 name in order to confuse the public.
I was a Duncan Hunter supporter, but he is no longer a candidate.
How about we compare Ron Paul v. McCain on the issues, except the war which is the only issue that the media mentions.
Just compare McCain’s recent statements to LaRaza to Ron Paul:

If you read it, you may weap. I wish we had a real Republican nominee.
There are only two reasons to vote for McCain: (1) Obama; and (2) Clinton.
He came out strongly against illegal immigration. Look at his votes in comparison to everyone else.
Whoa down there cowboy.
All I'm doing is making an observation about a FACT.
Whether or not Ron Paul actually IS a Libertarian at heart was not my observation.
My observation was that he is REGISTERED as a Republican.
Please don't get hot under the collar at me. I am not a Ron Paul supporter but don't let the facts slip by you. If the GOP didn't want Ron Paul to have the 'R' next to his name, he wouldn't.
Oh how cute that you post a link from the king tard himself that whitewashes the truth.
Funny how he has no mention of him saying that a border fence isn’t important (Sept 2007), or that he voted to hand out more visas to immigrants so they can take jobs away from Americans.
How about his total opposition to placing the military on the border? So much for his claim of “doing whatever it takes” eh?
I have looked at his votes, and what the village idiot spoon fed the duped masses that worship at his feet (as evidenced in the link provided by Stat-Boy) shows that ron paul is more full of crap than a waste water treatment plant.
In the link mentioned above the sniveling coward says that “We must do whatever it takes to control entry into our country”. Yet the truth is he is against using the military on the border meaning that he LIED about doing whatever it takes.
He had stated that the Border Patrol is ineffective and is understaffed yet he votes against their budget.
He even said that it’s not even important to have a border fence.
But by all means keep guzzling the koolaid paul gives you.
And my point is that he’s “registered” as a Republican out of political expediency so he can get elected.
IF he had a shred of honesty and integrity he’d run as a libertarian.
No one is trying to be cute. This is a conservative discussion board, and we are discussing. You think I worship at Ron Paul’s feet—that’s fine. I do not. I disagree with RP on some key issues, but I agree with RP on many issues. Duncan Hunter was my choice for President.
OK – Let’s focus on illegal immigration. You want to look at a record of actual votes, fine. Here is the best site on the internet for keeping track of actual votes in border security and illegal immigration matters:

You can look at detailed voting records, very well organized and readable, by following a link on the right. They also have a report card summarizing the votes, giving grades for different categories of votes. Ron Paul’s report card is a B overall, B+ recent votes. Looking at RP’s individual votes, most are marked green. Some are marked red. Yes, I would perfer that EVERY VOTE be marked green. However, I am not so simple minded that just because a few are marked red, then I should not accept any RP supporter into the Republican Party.
Take a look at McCain’s report card. He has a D. Most of his votes are marked red. I still can’t believe that McCain is our nominee. With McCain as President, and a Democratic Congress, we may be in big trouble. Once we give 30 to 50 million illegal aliens citizenship, we can’t take it away. It’s over; and that will mean 30 to 50 million left of center voters.
I have been an active member, and elected precinct chair, in the Republican Party for a while. I am very glad to see the youth and vitality and energy from the new RP members.
If you seriously think that these new ron paul supporters are going to stay in the party then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
Most of his support were from the brainwashed leftists that were told by their professors to support him as a means to undermine the party to help install hillary or whoever. When they saw that he got ZERO TRACTION they bailed and now support barry hussein osama.
Other “youthful voters” support him strictly for his position of doing away with drug laws......’Dude, we gotta like support this um ron paul guy so we can get like wasted and things and not go to jail and um stuff ya know.’
Whatever remains support him because he’s anti-war, anti-military, and wants to do away with Selective Service.
Then there is the stormfront, national alliance, kkk types that support him.
