“As I mentioned in another part of my post which you didn’t quote, the Nevada question is that, if you postulate “shenanigans”, you can’t tell whether it was a Romney operative passing out a false slate, or a Ron Paul zealot making up a “Romney” fake slate to complain about, or just some random guy who showed up at the convention and wanted to be cute, not sanctioned by either nominee. You’d need a video showing a person passing out the Nevada delegate slate, and identify them and then tie them definitively to a campaign.”

Pffft, you’re splitting hairs here. The only reason why I even brought it up to begin with was because you were accusing the Paulistas of an organized effort to steal the delegates through such fraudulent tactics. And this you did with no evidence either. And when faced with photographs of the same thing, but from Romney guys, like a good defense attorney you throw out all you can to raise doubt about the Romney campaign’s dishonest behavior. This is the Mitt Romney who ran the nuke/deception campaign against fellow candidates, not enemies like Obama, but you’d rather accuse the Paulbots before you’d accuse them? It’s a double standard, for sure.

That said, your comments are still valid. We don’t know if it was just some random schmuck or closet Paul-bot at two different conventions at the same time passing around fake slates promoting Romney delegates just for fun.

They DO have a photo of the guy at Nevada, so hopefully, if any of the media picks up on this, they’ll identify him soon. Any mud on Romney’s face is a happy day for me.

I’d find you the links that were posted here in previous months, but I don’t know which threads they were, and you can’t easily find them on the web, because one thing Paul’s supporters are very good at is google-spamming, so that you can find hundreds of references to the supposed Romney actions in Nevada (where Paul, having one 10% of the support of the state, somehow won all the delegates).

You have to give them that, the Ron Paul supporters are very dedicated and know what they are doing. It just isn’t very representative of the will of the voters, or respectful of the process.

The conservative movement will be in sad shape if the republican party is overtaken by the Ron Paul supporters, as it seems it is happening now. Fortunately, they are highly unlikely to actually do the job of running the committees they have taken over, so once the nominations are done, things will probably get back to normal.
