Can’t have anyone intrude upon the old monopoly.

That’s just not right. Agree or disagree with Ron Paul, his people worked through the proper channels(not the media) to try and elect their guy and now it’s basically a witch hunt for Ron Paul supporters at state conventions.

Whatever the case is here, the GOP reaaallllly needs to clean the rules up by closing the primaries and making the primaries results stick, so that just anyone can't walk off the street into a convention and derail the delegates process.

The more they try to shove McCain down our throats, the more that ol’ gag reflex kicks in.

Nothing like a bunch of whiny Ron Paul supporters to cry foul, when they have done everything to be disruptive, rude and infringe on the rights of other voters ever since the surrender monkey announced his steroid pumped Pat Buchanan run for the presidency. Paul will NEVER win the presidency this time or any time in the future because the majority of sane voters do not like a coward that would surrender to al Qaeda.

Well, if the Paulestinians wouldn’t try to overturn the results of the actual primary, then the MoGOP wouldn’t need to resort to tactics such as this.

The GOP elite are loyal to their socialist candidate. I'm not a Paul fan but hopefully Paulbots can create a GOP version of Operation Chaos on the convention floor to create a wide open convention thereby preventing the GOP from nominating socialist McCain.

special “credentials meeting”

They're going to a whole lot of extra trouble.

They could simply do as our state did once: Don't ask for the ballots!

I kept my unused ballot for a while, and eventually threw it away.

They don't need no stinkin' "credentials meeting".

“Loyalty oaths to John McCain being required by the Mo. GOP?”

No. Just Republican-socialism in action. To paraphrase a quote attributed to Josef Stalin: “Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.”

Lord knows I'm no Ron "Senior Moment" Paul supporter... but this is just flat-out w-r-o-n-g wrong.

If the delegates were fairly elected, by the party's own pre-existing rules, at the time of said election: then going back, weeks or months later, and retroactively "purging" them is Stalinist behavior on the party's part.

Is Missouri a winner take all state? Many states are winner take all, and require delegates to vote for whomever has the majority if that person has over XX%. I can understand the ‘oath’ (as some call it) if these people don’t plan to follow the rules and just create havoc.

Sooooo, let me get this straight. It's okay for Republicans to do this to Democrats via Operation Chaos, but it's not okay for anybody to do this to John McCain? Now how's that for a double standard, huh?
