AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) -- With Mitt Romney's nomination all but decided, Ron Paul supporters wrested control of the Maine Republican Convention and elected a majority slate supporting the Texas congressman to the GOP national convention, party officials said as the two-day convention neared its end Sunday. The results gave the Texas congressman a late state victory.

I was originally a Cain supporter. After he dropped out I, volunteered for Paul’s campaign. I’ve seen this script too many times. Rino’s get elected, move this nation to the left, and tell the conservatives/libertarians that we have to support them because there’s no other choice. Well, yeah my choice was to tear down the state party establishment, and replace it with state committee members that are principled. The state committee meets next week and I hope Charlie Webster resigns. He’s been a freaking disaster.
This weekends convention was a perfect example of how the Romney/Establishment operate. They tried to every trick in the book to make this convention a failure. Because they new they had lost. I am not voting for Obama for President because he’s a socialist. But I will not vote for Mitt Romney either because he and his supporters are wing nuts that care more about power than doing what is right and honorable.

then it comes down to a loon or a lying crook. since most in DC are self serving lying crooks, having a loon in the WH that will restore the constitutional principles of governance of the US, Paul looks pretty good.

Ah, now I see. Thanks. Yes, the presidential election might see a scarcity of votes. Hold the numbers in Congress, though. That’s probably worth voting for.

This looks like typically shady Ron Paul supporter behavior. I may hate Mitt, but I hate cheaters taking advantage of rules and procedures and crap even worse.

Paulbots, please go join the Democrats where this type of “end justifies the means” cheating is par for the course.

Fortunately, when Inauguration Day rolls around, Ron Paul will be back home in Victoria, TX.

When it comes to replacing "lying crooks", we can replace them with something better than a loon.

Cheaters break rules - and whiners whine about being bested by those with a superior understanding of the rules.

You are so obviously a Rombot, desperately afraid the nomination is going to slip from Mitt’s grasp sometime in the next three months, or even during the convention.

That explains your foaming-at-the-mouth wild and crazy posts now. The Rombots used huge amounts of negative SuperPac advertising money and false accusations to knock Gingrich and Santorum and the other more conservative candidates out of the race starting in December before Iowa.

Now, the fear that a continuing challenge will show the gaffe-master Romney to have feet of clay has Romneybots like you showing your mental disorders.

Thanks for proving my point.

All anyone has to do is read through your posts to see that all you do is behave exactly like the rest of the Romney campaign, which is to attack your opponent with a blizzard of negativity, with about 90% of it false.

We will see if that technique works for ya all the way through to the convention. If it does, they will coronate your man Romney in August in Tampa. If not, it’s gonna be an entertaining convention!

Despite your denials, you are so transparent in your support for Romney it is getting ridiculous.

You ask, “please tell me where is the negativity?”

Ok, I’ll tell you. You are just wasting time with your negativity expressed in your crazy name-calling and falsely accusing Gingrich supporters like me of supporting Paul when people like me actually supported several other more conservative candidates during the primaries, only to shift to the most conservative with a chance to stop the negative-advertising attack-candidate Romney, finally supporting Gingrich until he too dropped out.

Your fear of even Congressman Paul being able to actually stop the Romney juggernaut is transparent. Everyone knows he has no chance, yet you reveal yourself as a Romneybot by your attack technique, used against a guy who doesn’t even have a chance and people who don’t even support him.

This is why rational people are so apprehensive about a Romney candidacy - you guys are irrational.

Ok, so go tell it to the Paulbots, because I settled on Gingrich too (after a couple of other conservatives I liked better dropped out), but then even Gingrich, the last standing conservative dropped out, only to give Romney his endorsement.

Here’s a thread you might find interesting:

You’ve made it clear how badly you detest Congressman Paul, but at least he and his supporters have the guts to stay in and fight the flip-flopping Ivy-League corporate raider all the way to the convention.
