MO GOP Shambles listen to what happened

That's pretty f'd up.
Time to lawyer - up. There's gotta be pro-bono's out there that would attend in some areas.
 
This brou-ha may suit the Missouri GOP just fine. They'd rather have a rump delegation and a contested convention, which prevents anyone from being seated and any disruption happening at the National Convention. They'll make any sacrifice necessary, to keep Paul supporters out.
 
Were there any of the rank and file GOP disgusted enough with what happened, to participate in the rump convention?

I'm just trying to imagine what this would have been like... District conventions normally have some legislators and county commissioners in attendance, and statewide candidates arriving to make short stump speeches. I would think at least some of them would be shocked, to see a convention unravel like this.

This event will definately be bigtime rumor mill fodder among the GOP leaders.

I am sick at heart that this happened to you all-unfortunately, it also happened in our district, and most likely all over Missouri-they are not playing by the rules-they are determined to see McCain get the nomination, and they don't care how it's done-it is truly sickening how badly duped the public is. The next president has been chosen for the people, and they blindly believe their votes are what is deciding the outcome of the elections. It is soo sad. I also found info with graphs showing that Ron Paul was doing much better in the polls before the media started constantly stating that he would not win-maybe if we could get Americans detoxed from their TVs, their minds could comprehend the truth.

I really wish Ron Paul would switch over to the Constitution Party, as I know we could continue campaigning for him and I believe he would stand a better chance winning. I have listened closely every time I hear him speak of whether or not he will run other than republican, and I have not yet heard him say he absolutely will not-although I know it is not the direction he really wants to go. I am praying he will reconsider though, because short of filing lawsuits all over the country, I am losing hope that he can win this way. However I am in for the long haul, I have never found another candidate I agree so whole-heartedly with, and I will support him no matter what route he takes.

For all of you who believe in the power of prayer, we really need to start ringing the prayer bells of Heaven, harder than ever before.

If it's anything like my local area, I would seriously doubt it. The Establishment would all line up behind The Devil Himself if he had an "R" behind his name. At this morning's meeting, I heard "unity" at least 60 million times, especially in regards to how important it is to elect mc100yearwar. Ugh! They do not want us rabble rousers.

It's going to be tough to change the repub party; it may indeed be impossible. These neo-cons are entrenched and they definitely don't want to hear anything that isn't in step with their so-called "principles".

Congressman Todd Akin was there..... my father was leaving the uncontested side and was right behind Mr. Akin while Mr. Akin was walking up to the podium to speak and my father yelled "follow the rules!". Todd Akin I'm sure got an ear full since he was like 2 feet away.
 
How the hell will Ron Paul continue supporting this party? You know I thought the Republican party was at the very least better than the Democrats. This is preposterous and I'm very angry. Ron Paul should never use the Republican Party again. What they are pulling is absolute BULL SH*T!
 
contsted

How did they get a list of all of your names and why exactly did they contest your status? err what was their official grounds for contesting?

Well, he is still a congressman. We shouldn't discount the importance of that. Would we rather he be president? Sure... but a third party of independent run is a lot more difficult than people want to believe.

Right now, the GOP seems to be a good strategic decision for Dr. Paul. It lets him stay in congress, which is much superior to him being nowhere in government at all.
