Thanks for your comments.

This is not an isolated incident, and it is not just Ron Paul Republicans who are crying foul. A good friend of mine (who has been a solid Republican for 25 years and a well respected local leader) attended his county convention in Texas as a Huckabee alternate delegate. He is NOT a Ron Paul supporter. He witnessed the local party hacks break the rules, cut off debate, and refuse to even discuss legitimate traditional conservative platform amendments brought up by RP delegates.

No prob. As stated, I'n certainly in no way, shape or form a Ron Paul -- and there are any number of his supporters hereabouts, doubtless, who will be more than willing to attest to that fact! ;) -- but: going back, weeks/months after the fact, and retroactively declaring literally hundreds of duly elected party delegates "non-persons," when they've (evidently) violated no applicable or existing rule(s) is rank Boss Tweed-ism at its unconscionable and indefensible.

The MO State Republican Party needs to back away from their current planned course of action.

This is NOT the way to do things.
