Good [the writer of the article] “omitted” an important FACT about Louisiana. The delegates elected a new Chair by a clear majority. The former Chair REFUSED to seat the new Chair & tried the Ignore tactic. When this didn’t work, he had his thugs DRAG OUT the new Chair, almost breaking his recently operated on hip replacement. That’s when the delegates turned their chairs around & resumed the convention under the newly ELECTED leadership. Then, the old voted out Chair, tried to remove the mic from the Convention Secretary. His thugs BROKE THE GUY’S FINGERS trying to remove the mic!!!!
Good, how could you in “good” conscience omit these things from your “report?” You also left out how Romney’s thugs have denied the ELECTED delegates in Massachusetts their seats at the convention. Do you not know there is a revolution going on in this country & it’s not being reported or televised? Do you know what a wreck our nominating system is? Do you not know the crimes that are being comitted? Do you know there’s a suit over this in the 9th Circuit RIGHT NOW???

Ron Paul has won the plurality of delegates from Iowa, Nevada, Colorado, Maine, Minnesota, Louisiana, and Massachusetts (Yes, Ron Paul won the majority of delegates from the state where Romney was governor). Nebraska would be number 8. Of course, the Massachusetts GOP is forcing all National Delegates to sign affidavits stating they support Romney. If they refused to sign it…the Massachusetts GOP was removing delegates that were legally elected at the Massachusetts GOP convention and replacing Paul supporters with Romney supporters. I hope the Massachusetts GOP leadership gets to do a little prison time for interferring with a Presidential election through forcing people to sign these phony affidavits. I hope Lawyers for Ron Paul has put the Massachusetts Leadership right at the top of their list to sue.

I, Like many others I know will write in Ron Paul’s name if necessary. I don’t like Obama because he did little of what he promised to do, but Rominey is definitely out. So if I have to live with Obama, so be it. Rominey? NOT.

Ron Paul faces long odds? More like, he is facing the Adelsonians and their billions of Dollahs that are being thrown into Rominey’s campaign.

The reason for the “Heightened Tensions” is because the GOP has so badly cheated Dr. Paul to this point, everyone is expecting more of the same.
HEY, MSM… How about reporting on the fact that Ron Paul supporters winning delegate spots over the Romney slate, including the former GOP nominee for Gov in MA, the former Lieutenant Governor, and the House Minority Leader, in State where Romney was once Governor. This should have been headline news.
It’s pretty darn amazing the Maddow and Ben Swan are about the only two people in the mainstream media who have reported on this issue.
Then, along the same story line, how abou the fact that the MA state GOP dumped the duly elected Ron Paul delegates by making them sign affidavits that they would support their candidate a few months later rather than holding them to the party rules?
How do you justify having someone sign an affidvit to support something in the future? What if Romney fell ill and had to drop out. Then you have all the delegates at the convention forced to vote for a candidate that’s not there? Run this nonsense past any lawyer (other than one working for the Romney campaign) and see what they have to say.
The days of MSM investigated journalism are over… it’s all about maintaining the party line now.

If your Congressman has not co-sponsored Paul’s “Audit the Fed” bill, call and demand it. And push your senators for the same.
