Did we all notice that the polls give Romney only a 3% jump in the polls? The failure to invite Palin, West, or Arpaio to speak alienated — or, at least failed animate — millions of regular, everyday conservatives. Then, this disenfranchisement move by the GOPe against the grassroots was the coup de grace. This marks the official end of the GOPe-Conservative Christian alliance in the GOP. From now on, the party will be exclusively GOPe, and will go the way of the Whigs. Typical Rovian strategy. Remember under Rove’s advice, Bush BARELY won two elections that he should have won by a landslide.

Reagan’s campaign strategy was to HIGHLIGHT the differences between his positions and those of his opponents (and won twice in a landslide). Rove’s strategy is to hew to the middle and try to peel off enough independents and disgruntled Dems to barely squeak out a victory where the candidate truly stands for little more than sanitized Democratic policies.

Romney has — at least for the time being — lost my vote through this convention rules-change disenfranchisement attack on the grassroots, as well as through his break with the Party Platform’s position on abortion. (I was never happy with him, as — between him and his five sons — not one of them has a single DAY’s service in our miiltary. I find this odd in a man who wants to serve as our country’s commander-in-chief. Remember, the GOPe infinitely prefer to have the conservative Christians send off their sons and daughters to die in foreign wars while they (and their GOPe progeny) stay home where it is safe and orchestrate control over the future of the GOP.)

Calm down.
This was an over reaction to the Ron Paul kooks.
Ron Paul supporters are liars who claimed to support Santorum or Romney, but really wanted to cause trouble at the convention.
Ron Paul supporters let “code pink” into the convention.
Ron Paul supporters don't know how to behave, they are rude, disruptive and bully their way around.

Even so, the RNC should not have over reacted.
Also?
No candidate will toss out the Delegates who earned their position, without very good reason to do so.

So you will just help hand Obama another four years? That is a sure way to never make conservatism relevant! If this election is taken by the lib again, conservatism will be in wilderness for decades! That is NOT what I want for my children & grandchildren! We must make gradual steps towards true conservatism and not ruin our chances with such pure ideology.
