RNC Makes Historical Changes To Snub Ron Paul in Tampa

http://www.dailypaul.com/247048/rnc-makes-historical-changes-to-snub-ron-paul-in-tampa

The RNC seized this as an opportunity to "make historical changes", which will affectively eliminate Ron Paul and his delegates. Their message is: "You are with us, including YOU Ron Paul, or you're against us."


And people wonder why I can't stand the GOP... Bunch of childish, whining, old, crabby (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s... I could have sworn this is a FREE country. But, not if you're a Republican in these times!!!

 

And why I absolutely lost all respect for them, from looking the other way when Fox propagated old lies about Ron Paul, to selective debate editing, to election fraud, to pulling this (*)(*)(*)(*).


You reap what you sow. Where do they think the Ron Paul vote will go? And is that their plan?

 

Modus operandi for the GOP. That is why they are the party of No, Hate & my way or the Highway.

 

I stopped believing the Republicans and Democrats (politicians) are different along time ago. If they were we wouldn't have the NDAA, the Patriot Act, CISPA, etc.

It's the game they play so that no real change ever happens and nothing gets done that is positive for America.

 

Exactly... I know some will go to Obama, I don't know where mine will go - not yet...

 

I don't think it was like that Bush Sr. and before, now... more so often. I think that where we are today is horrific.... And the GOP is our biggest problem. It's like if they don't get what they want, like a spoiled brat child, they will make it horrible for everyone!!

 

I think that Ford was the last decent Republican President; he was honorable and deeply cared about the American people and helped to restore the country's faith in the Executive office. Ever since then the Republican party has gone downhill; while Romney may be the only viable candidate they can field this election cycle, he's a very poor candidate.

 

Well it does demonstrate how parochial the Republican Party has become, and with the Tea Party thrown in, their nucleus keeps shrinking.

 

Ron Paul sucks and I'm telling Libertarians that they can take their ball and sour grapes and GTF back to voting 3rd party for all I care.

If you don't agree with Republican values, you aren't a Republican and should STFO of my party.

It'll be a cold day in hell before I support the anarcho-capitalist/weak isolationist agenda of Ron Paul.

 

Hey DBM. Your article doesn't say what these "historical changes" are. Do you know?

In a "FREE country" a private organization such as the RNC is allowed to set its own rules. The RNC convention is put together for a specific purpose. Are Paul's intentions consistent with what that private organization is wanting to accomplish? I would think the RNC would be best served by running their convention in such a way that best accomplishes their goals. It appears Gary Johnson is speaking at the Paul rally so Paul appears to be hostile towards the goals of the RNC convention.

 

Half these posters probably have to Google to know who Ford is! I thought Reagan did a decent job… But, Ford was great and honorable. I really think McCain, since he’s old school would have done the same, if he would have picked a viable running mate. I am still mad about that – if he would have picked even Ron Paul (I wanted Bailey-Hutchison) he would have been our next great President. It’s been so long, you forget about the great ones and how America was Proud! How we valued our citizens and self-worth. Ford would never have let jobs go outside of the united states to make things cheaper… Never…

 

Ron Paul is Doctor No, because of other politicians going outside of the Constitution. Ron Paul is a great example of what our Founding Fathers were like and about. He says everything is within the Constitution on how this country should be ran and all his beliefs and what he supports and doesn’t is based on that Constitution. So, if you think the Constitution is “wrong” or “not what you want in America” of course you’ll say that about Ron Paul…

Also, I know about your party – they used to be a Great party… now they are just a bunch of whining females… The GOP is a joke. The people (like me) who have served this country they stick their noses up at. How do you feel about Veterans?

 

Looks like your RNC is gonna need all the help it can to get Obama out of office...

The duopoly will do anything to ensure the duopoly survives.

It's little surprise that the number of people who identify themselves as Republicans or Democrats is rapidly diminishing. The election this year cannot be won without independents and the RNC seems hell bent on alienating as many as they can.

 

It sure doesn't... Paul just wants to celebrate his delegates. Yes, Gary is having one for himself at the same time, but not "with" Ron Paul - different festivity altogether.

I am assuming that the "Our way or the Highway" mentality of the GOP is probably trying to ban him from doing this...

 

Also, because we don't think like them we're closet Obama supporters. They honestly don't see any difference between what Mr. Paul was offering America and Mitt Romney.

Why would we be happy with Romney? He is anti-civil liberties, anti-Constitution. The more they accuse me of being an Obama fan the more I want to go campaign and put my ass to the road to get Gary Johnson spoiler votes.

This modern McCarthyism is totally lacking in character from a party that complains that their guns might be taken away but could care less about their right to be secure in their papers in property.

UGH!

 

What happened to the GOP? When did they start becoming asshats? Not to say the DNC is any better, they are just to (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)cat to be as extreme fuxkwads like the GOP.

 

Alright then, the article is a bit confusing. I guess then that the Paul Festival and Freedom Festival are separate events. Not sure why the article would throw in a Gary event in with the article about Paul:

"Benton said Paul's event will be the only pre-convention event he will attend. His supporters have organized a three-day Paul
Festival complete with "Liberty bands" and speakers from August 24 - 26.
Also, during the three days before the convention in Tampa, the Freedom Festival 2010 will be
held at a venue between Orlando and Tampa. Libertarian presidential nominee Gary
Johnson will speak at that event. "

Well I'm not getting that from any of your articles and I can't even tell exactly what rules may have been changed. It talks about Paul being there with his army of delegates. Paul is asking them not to disrupt the convention, which is good. Many, if not most, Paul supporters are very hostile to the objective of the RNC convention. The RNC appears to be doing what it can to prevent that hostility from marring the objective of their convention.

 

REPPED!!!! Nice post!!

DANG IT - I can't rep you... I need to spread some around first...

 

Funny thing is Glitch - I can't find anything ANYWHERE... The title seems to be a lie...

 

I don't think the Dems would tolerate anyone going off the reservation as much as Paul has. It's not that he is just one guy in the wilderness by himself. He is pretty disruptive. People in power regardless of party affiliation don't like that. Did you see the Corey Booker hostage tape?

 

Ron Paul had his chance, he was in the debates and on the ballots the people made their choice. It is time for him to put on his big boy pants and admit defeat

 

I never thought I would say this, but I'd rather have Palin than their current nominee. At least she's anti-gun control, anti-spending, and seems to have moral positions but also understands that people make mistakes. She takes care of her daughter and grandchild in spite of the humiliation it caused her running on the morality campaign and having a pregnant daughter.

 

Jeb,

you're killing me here. Should Ron Paul --or any of us for that matter--not be true to ourselves just to be liked? Isn't the definition of integrity having positions and keeping them even when they are unpopular?

 

The GOP is doing everything they can to ensure that Obama and his crew stay in there for another four years even though the economy is still in the tank....Romney is the worst possible candidate they could have nominated as he is equally disdained by both the left and the right....Now they are doing everything they can to alienate Dr Paul's supporters who may very well be in a position to swing a close election...What a bunch of hapless buffoons...
