The voters in the straw poll of my precinct gave 15 votes to Gingrich, 9 votes to Romney, 5 votes to Santorum, and 4 votes to Paul. Yet the delegates sent on to the convention were four delegates for Romney, 1 delegate for Paul, and 1 delegate for Gingrich. Actually, there were no delegates sent for Gingrich, because I was relegated to being alternate delegate and later changed to a delegate by the time of the convention. I voted for Gingrich, but was overwhelmingly eliminated at the convention by the Romney deleagtes most of whom were RINOs and Democrats pretending to be Republicans. The voters of our precinct who voted overwhelmingly for Gingrich were systematically eliminated from representation going forward to the state convention. You cannot always balme the voters when their votes are not counted or represented by the subverted delegations.
I’m talking about primary votes.
6 million to 5 million as of April 10, 2012, when Santorum quit.
6 million conservatives versus 5 million Romney voters, be they moderates, be they RINOs, be they sly and sneaky democrats, be they people with stinky feet, be they however the heck you want to characterize them, there were only 5 million of them and 6 million of us and we didn’t use that fact, we didn’t unite, we didn’t vote as a block...
There rest is all whining, moaning, kvetching and complaining.
