Ok. A few things. There is no independence for the delegates. Their states voted for them to vote a certain way. To do so, should get them fired. They are selected, not elected.

The GOP Primary is already screwed up. You didn’t state what they wanted to change it to, so I don’t have an opinion on that. I’m all for changing it. It’s horrible.

I probably would be against the changing of rules between conventions without a vote. But I’d have to see more info on it.

Drew McKissick is a longtime conservative activist and blogger who is in attendance at the Republican National Convention’s Rules Committee meetings. He and others on the ground are sounding the alarm over rules changes that he and many other attendees believe will hurt grass-roots movement conservatives. The battle is being cast by some observers as a narrow fight between Ron Paul advocates and the rest of the party. Drew says that’s not true. And many other state delegations who oppose top-down delegate choices are chiming in.

They look like rules to get rid of the phony Paulite delegates that were scammed into the Convention. Do you think it was right that RP got 5% of the vote yet half the Delegates in my state?

He was trying to use the Convention to get elected and bypass the Primary process by scamming his delegates onto the floor. Do you think RP should be the nominee by manipulating the Convention, I don’t.
