Well I may be colored by my recent convention experience here in Iowa Ron, but I’m so tired of seeing the popular will of the people ignored. I don’t care how just the cause, when 1% of the 1% can rig things to their liking, it bugs me.
I fully understand that’s how we do the electoral college, but at least there’s some play off the popular vote. It is so easy to pull strings via the convention process with only a moderate amount of organization. Not a Romney fan but I’m just thinking about the future when we have a candidate we DO like.
I too am one of those who will vote for Romney, because the alternative is unthinkable.
But, this underhanded power-grab stinks to high-heaven, undermines the full-faith and fairness of the convention, and undercuts the very reason that we send delegates to a convention in the first place!
It's just DIRTY POLITICS, which we have long kept (mostly) out of the GOP, particularly at local levels.
I guess temporarily we'll have to rename it the DOP - the Dirty Old Party.
