No, you said that. Politicians take oaths, they don’t sign contracts.

This lawsuit is about a voluntary association, the Republican Party. It is not in any way about “politicians.” it’s about people who volunteered to join a political party when there were others available and no party affiliation is mandatory.

The Republican Party has rules. Expecting people who join our Party to follow those rules is not “intimidation” or “disenfranchisement.”

In Texas, our State law imposes some rules and the rest come from our delegates to the RPT convention. Before the candidates stood for nomination at our Congressional Fistrict meetings lat week, the rules were read. Anyone who didn’t want to follow our RPT rules shouldn’t have run.

A very few men and women want to nullify the votes of people who volunteered to vote in the Republican Party Primaries.

Think about this, hocndoc. Politicians DO make contracts, Remember the Contract with America? That is far more a real binding “Contract” than any agreement by a delegate to vote a certain way before he goes to a convention to vote his concience. Want to know why? Because the Contract with America involved consideration to the politician, the delegate vote at the convention does not.

The rest of your post is pretty much naivete. A slavish devotion to the “rules” made by the party insiders and the politicians (who really run the party) and the hired “counsel” of the parties, and the federal judiciary is what has taken the rule of the party away from the elected delegates. This seizure of control from the delegates is precisely what eventually enabled the completely out-of-control politicians and government to bring the nation to the crisis I bet we both agree America is now in.
