GOP Leaders: Only Half of Maine's Ron Paul Delegates will be Seated

[AJ Antimony]

This is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've read from you. These delegates were ELECTED! Do you know what that means? It means they were VOTED IN? If the RNC has given itself the power to REDISTRIBUTE ELECTED delegates, what is the point in voting any more? How do you suppose to take over the GOP if they have the power to REDISTRIBUTE delegates? That is FRAUD!

Remember when the official campaign said they were fighting this? Obviously, they didn't do a thing.

These "compromises" are only being offered because they benefit the party's agenda. It's all to nullify Ron of the plurality in 5 states. The delegates should reject all deals, we should get a chipin going for competent lawyers to represent them, and we should take the Republican party down for their blatant breaking of laws.

Really? What happened to this?

"This isn't the end of it because what's going to happen is the Ron Paul campaign is going to appeal this to the Credentials Committee, and they're going to take this all the way to the Credentials Committee, which goes into the weekend, perhaps even until Monday," Willis says.

Now, now, parocks. You don't want to take the steam out of those who want to take their frustration out on the campaign. It's so fun to blame them for everything, INSTEAD OF THE FRICKIN' GOP ESTABLISHMENT, who are the ones actually trying to cheat us.

RNC deals new blow to Paul supporters’ effort to seat all 20 convention delegates

On Thursday, Aug. 23, Republican National Committee voted to support a compromise that would seat 10 Maine delegates pledged to presidential candidate Ron Paul and 10 alternate delegates, according to Maine Republican Party Chairman Charlie Webster.

Pete Harring, a Paul delegate, will attend the convention. His flight leaves Saturday morning.

“I was a duly elected delegate and I’m going to Tampa,” he said Thursday morning. He intends to be on the convention floor Monday. “It looks like this is going up to the last minute,” Harring said of whether he will be recognized as a delegate.

Ryan expects a decision from the credentials committee by Friday. If that panel rules against seating all 20 Maine delegates committed to Ron Paul, “We’ll have a meeting of the delegation to decide what we’ll do next,” she said.

If they do not receive credentials, Ryan and Harring said Thursday that the Paul delegates from Maine would explore finding someone to make a motion from the convention floor to seat them.

The Paul campaign hopes that it can have enough delegates seated to place Paul’s name into nomination during the convention, which would allow him to make a speech.

Earlier this month, Webster offered a compromise to the Paul delegates. His deal would have let them attend the convention but obligate them to vote for Mitt Romney if Paul doesn’t have sufficient support to be nominated for president.

The Paul supporters rejected that plan.

Last week, Maine delegates who back Paul sought an injunction against the Republican National Committee to stop it from investigating whether they were legitimately chosen to represent the state at the GOP convention.

We're behind you, Maine.

Oh really? So you're the choir now? Weren't you the one telling everyone that they should bend over and take what the RNC gives? Don't make a fuss? They'll be nice to us in 2016. If we make a fuss, the GOP will HATE Ron Paul FOREVER!!! Weren't you saying that Mr. Choir?

Well, all I was trying to do was report on the latest news. That article was from earlier today. I agree with you. But I would say ROMNEY, before I would say GOP ESTABLISHMENT. Blame ROMNEY.

It doesn't seem to have had expedited filing, a temporary restraining order... I wonder when action is required? It asks that the hearing last Sunday be prevented, for example.
