Well folks, how would you have liked it if say Sarah Palin or Jim DeMint had ran and won the nomination by winning the popular vote in the caucuses and primaries - except that some little faction took over the conventions in the various states and rigged the delegates to their candidate instead.

That’s exactly what the Paulsheviks did in Iowa. Santorum and Romney tied, Paul ran a distant third, but of our delegate slate of 28, 23 are voting for Ron Paul. Is that what you want, a small group rigging delegates with smoky back room deals made by the 1% of the 1%, or the will of the people reflected?

We also had those who supported Ron Paul at the convention but said they supported Romney so they would get elected. If this were again, a Sarah Palin or Jim Demint, would you want false flag operatives ambushing you at convention by claiming to support one candidate but voting for another?

This rule didn’t come out of a vacuum. Let’s think this thru more, because next time it might be a bona fide conservative that someone is trying to undermine.

This isn’t about the Paulsheviks - this is about shutting down Tea Party delegates, which pose a far greater threat to the GOP-E.

Everyone needs to read Free Vulcan’s post and GET A CLUE.

How dishonest is it or R Paul to horn in and run in the Republican primary, in the first place.

Would you have stood for an Independent doing it? Or would you say run under your own banner!

Or how about hitlery klintoon running in our primary so’s she wouldn’t have to have a primary fight with ‘the Won”?

He’s a Libertarian. He’s been running forever. If he’s so ‘right’ why hasn’t he enough a following to run honestly?

Read post number 24. Buy a clue.
