I Tweeted it :

The #RNC / #GOP have a problem: YOUNG, PASSIONATE RON PAUL SUPPORTERS WHO CHERISH THE RULE OF LAW. We're coming to Tampa, rules in hand...

Way to live vicariously through the youngsters. LOL.

I'm not sure what would lead you to believe that I am not.

My website:

If that doesn't show that I support RP, I don't know what does.

I'm also active in my area/Indiana with other Ron Paul supporters and I plan to go to our State's Convention on June 8 and 9 and try to influence our GOP to nominate some RP delegates.
We have 46 total delegates in my state.
27 are bound to the primary winner
16 are unbound and selected at our Convention and 3 are the GOP chair persons that are also unbound.

a discussion and solution to the RNC rule violation or perceived rule violation should be brought to the appropriate convention committee and the committee should be tasked to bring it to the floor of the convention for a solution - which in my view is to unbound all bound delegates on first ballot and to demand the publication of each delegate vote on the floor of the RNC convention. Just a thought.

I never said he was. I said at the last RNC, he was gaining momentum. I should have clarified he was not there. Now that I re-read my post it does sound like I insinuated he was actually AT the Convention. I know he held his own rally. Still, the RNC noticed he was gaining popularity so they shut down their Convention and went home hoping to divert attention away from RP.

Also, here is the official article from Jeff Bales accusing the RNC of breaking their own Rules and endorsing Romney.
http://www.pr.com/press-release/410950

The violation by the RNC of their own rule and the subsequent support of Romney is what gives the MSM the cover and basis for continuing their bias against the Ron Paul campaign. It is a cultural and social miscarriage of fairness in our democratic election process. That is why it needs to be reprehended and corrected and people should resign. It is the foundation for the MSM to continue to distort the communication for the electoral campaigns. Just a thought.

I honestly think that Romney can and will be bumped from the nomination but we won't be guaranteed anything. I can see the establishment scrambling around and flipping the narrative in the media and start pushing Jeb Bush from the convention floor. Don't know why but this has been on my mind for a few days now.

No worries. I sent it out again, after deleting the word YOUNG (mostly in an effort to gain more character space)...

Really? You might want to rethink your answer after this statement. This was made AFTER Santorum and Gingrich have dropped out. You are incorrect. The RNC is in direct violation of Rule#11.

On 4/25/2012 the RNC made this statement:

"Governor Romney's strong performance and delegate count at this stage of the primary process has made him our party's presumptive nominee," Mr. Priebus said. "In order to maximize our efforts I have directed my staff at the R.N.C. to open lines of communication with the Romney campaign."
and
"It's my intention to have a seamless and complete merger between the presumptive nominee and the Republican National Committee," Mr. Priebus said. "That means political, communications, fund-raising, research and the chairman's office, along with the governor's main operational team, are completely merged."

Quoted because this should be shouted from the rooftops. Paging Paul Revere's Ghost...or his latter day equivelent...wait, isnt that us?

Tell this to whoever you know that is willing to listen.

If Ron Paul supporters deny Romney his nomination on the first ballot, very possibly, then the issue will be who to pair Sarah Palin with. Could be:

Jebb Bush / Sarah Palin; or Paul Ryan / Sarah Palin; or Ron Paul / Sarah Palin. The higher probability could be between Ryan / Palin or Paul / Palin. Who knows. I only know Mitt Romney is going to have a fit so big that he will simply leave the convention in a rage.

You lost me. What does Sarah Palin have to do with this discussion?

 

[Channing]

Bould delegates should use this as a reason to vote for Ron Paul

Maybe the RNC won't enforce its own rules, but delegates bound to Romney could use this as a reason to vote for somebody else.

Same way that ron paul supporters will not vote for romney, many romney supporters will not vote for dr. paul, ie. foreign policy, trillion dollar cut, etc. so strategy calls for adding to either romney or paul a catalyst that would break the stubbornness of clamping down. sarah palin could be that person that softens the ticket for dr. paul just as maybe adding rand paul to the romney ticket or someone like him would soften the ticket for ron paul supporters. just a thought.

Hey, are you guys making sure to TWEET this unbound delegates news to the ex-Gingrich/Santorum/Perry/Santorum/Bachman/Cain supporters?

We can all take Mittens down together. God knows, WE have the best organization to decide who the nominee will be, thankfully.

I bet Santorum is not really gone, if needed, either. He's already endorsed Mitt.

 

[TRIGRHAPPY]

We will have enough delegates to raise a point of order, will we not? Hopefully we will have at least one person on the committee that will not have given approval to help with the Romney campaign. If that happens, regardless of rule 38, I would think that would be enough to allow all delegates to be unbound. If that happens, it's game on.

Problem is, supporters of those candidates prefer Romney to Ron.

In my humble opinion Sarah Palin would hurt Ron Paul more than help. If we want a strong voice to stand with him, how about Judge Andrew Napolitano? Palin is just eye candy.

if the odds are that ron paul is going to win some more plurality in additional states and more delegates bound to romney in states like california and then those delegates will abstain on first ballot, then I guess connecting with people like sarah palin because to compete with romney, or bush or ryan once the first ballot is behind them then he will need to provide a measure of breadth in an electorate that is already for the most part defined. to me sarah palin would make his ticket connect with most so called moderate republicans. she will also connect the ticket with independent women that are family oriented.

most republicans are what they are and are not true to the republican values that ron paul is trying to restore. so they need to change and "evolve" a la Obama and changing to constitutional government within a balance budget and a market non-government directed liberty based economy would be difficult for all but doable. if sarah palin would accept the motherly task of showing the way to go from fox-news pseudo neo-con and embrace the values we spouse as liberty faithful constitutionalists then she could be the key to help transform the republican party to a restore american values institution. otherwise it would be difficult to perform a change large enough in the time between august and election day. we need someone willing to show "change" from neo-con to liberty economy. remember the wednesday vote on the american-israel military aid bill was 411 to 2.

Private organization can break their own rules.

Where does this opinion come from? If a store does not honor its refund policy, a customer can sue. If a company has a written policy that "shorts are OK to wear" and then sues someone for wearing shorts, a wrongful dismissal suit will follow. If shareholders don't agree with how a company is being run, they can sue (they don't even need a majority of shareholders).

It is more likely that "Public organizations can break their own rules."

The RNC is acting like an autocrat and naming by fiat who the nominee is rather than using the drawn out process they have voluntarily enacted.

Putting it another way, even if the RNC can do what it wants, when a judge orders Romney's name removed from the ballots (or Ron Paul's to be added), it will be the states complying, not a private organization.

 

[heavenlyboy34]

As much as I want to believe that he's going to be invalidated, I think we know that the RNC won't hold up its own rules.

This^^ Rules don't stop criminals
