Why was this move made? Probably because of the Paulistinians who, even though Paul did not win a single contest, still were able to maneuver to get the delegate slots. The Paul supporters were moving to nominate Paul, despite the fact that everyone’s favorite crazy uncle did not win, or even come close. They adopted the rules to avoid the embarrasment that the media would heap upon them for the Pual delegate actions.
Code Pink was able to infiltrate and disrupt Ryan’s speech and Romney’s speech. How and why? Paul supporters, of course; they gave them their credentials. What if they had given the credentials not to a whacked out chick screaming about her “lady parts” but rather to some whacked out, violent terrorist who would kill delegates, or the candidates? The Paulistinians showed their true colors this week. They were not above sabatoging the convention and the candidates in their little immature hissy fit.
I am not for Ron Paul, but equally not a fan of the GOPe. I guess you have to pick you battles these days. I am 100% against the left and Obama. But I am no fan of the Rinos. It’s become a minefield.
I just know that what the GOPe did also hurt conservatives and that is what they wanted.
If it had been a true conservative candidate and they had delegates at the convention and were challenging Romney or whoever they wanted then the same thing would have been done.
You do get Santorum won plenty of Republican and Conservative leaning states and it did not do a thing to help him win the nomination. But Romney won all the Progressive Liberal states and he won the nomination. Ohio, Florida and Wisconsin are purple states which Romney won despite recent gains by Republicans. And Arizona is becoming more and more rino despite recent conservative gains and the immigration stances of Governor Jan Brewer. So that state is not really conservative. And Utah and Nevada is Mormon country. So they don’t count wither. And after the Wisconsin and Pennsylvania primaries the rest of the primaries that were falsely had just to get Romney to the magic number; don’t count. Romney was way ahead and the other candidates ended up dropping out.
