Honestly, EternaVigilance, how do you not see a problem with what the Ron Paul supporters did acting as delegates, presumed to recognize their responsibility to vote for the primary candidate elected in their state, but planning an delegate coup?
And you honestly consider this to be a “perfect example of how the RINO Republicans” control the outcome? Seriously?
The Paul supporters’ intent was to make a sham out of the primary process. I can understand how they felt their candidate deserved better treatment, but the fact is Ron Paul didn’t have anywhere close to the support to be a Republican candidate, and there’s a reason for that far more directly tied to Ron Paul than the excuse of the GOP.
Furthermore, if the Paul Supporters really want more legitimate government, de-legitimizing the primary process isn’t a very auspicious start.
Yes, people will corrupt the Convention of the States by similar methods, and that was my point. However my point nowhere involves the GOP allying themselves with the Democrats, as both parties are controlled by Progressive Statists.
The Ron Paul campaign was a sideshow. No doubt about it. But the main event was predetermined and phony outcomes on floor votes, and rigged rules committee meetings, and rules that basically stack the deck for the establishment for 2016. The RP delegates posed no real threat to anybody or anything. But a phony GOP nominating process is dangerous to the whole country.
Are you talking about the delegates that should have been sent but were denied because of RETROACTIVE rule-changes to the primary?
