Thread: Let's straighten out the Paul 3 delegate question please.

On the forums at ronpaulforums the people who were there are discussing west virginia at length. I don't know if you have to be a member to read it and I am not sure if I can quote, I did in another thread and apoligize if I am not supposed to.

The delegates only, not the campaign, not Ron Paul himself, the delegates made the deal. Stop blaming the campaign as selling out. If you are mad, be mad at the delegates.

One interesting thing I read is that Huckabees delegates were grassroots like Pauls, and that Romney's were "committee members and party insiders" and they felt it would be easier to convert them should Huck drop out.

So please can we move on and save our country!

I'll never forgive RP for this

I'm sure they couldn't make such a deal without his approval

So you are saying that while debating at the caucus the delegates excused themselves and called Ron to ask for his permission? I find that pretty silly.

It doesn't matter

They made the decision , they were Paul delegates , the supported
Huck

Yes , I do hold them and RP responsible

OK, I was just trying to work this out in an amicable way, so people could get back to saving our sovereignty.

I know, I will take the blame for it. Basically, as a supporter and possible delegate here in Arkansas because Huck does not have enough, I take the blame for the delegates in West Virginia who really wanted their candidate to get something.

I am actually sad that Romney is out, he was my second choice. But based on the fact he prefers party to country I am glad he left.

I am sorry again, I just wanted to settle this dispute civally and with facts instead of speculation.

It doesn't matter. They are not "getting it". That caucus was BEFORE Romney got trounced. So, at that time Romney was seen as the one to run away with it. So it was a good decision. The goal is to see this to a brokered convention. Thats it. If some don't want to know about that or acknowledge it, that is fine. Let these two write Romney's name in. McCain will seal the deal while opening the borders.

And truth be told, I heard that the RP delegates didn't trust the Romney delegates. I wouldn't blame them. I mean, would you?

Anyways. Ron Paul delegates did the right thing, imho. They secured 3 delegates. Romney would have dropped regardless of the win. 18 additional delegages wouldn't of made a difference. He was given the "nod" and he bowed out.

Romney supporters need to ask themselves "why" did he drop out. You see people lashing out at RP, for what his delegates did - which is VERY MINOR. Yet, they give their candidate a pass? Why?

FIrst off all, NOBODY LIKES McCAIN - Nobody. Opposition was rising FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and with Romney IN the race, there is NO way McCain was gonna get the secure nomination. Get it? If it went to a brokered convention, then Ron Paul would have a very good chance. BUT lo and behold, Romney bows out! Why? The Media is pimpin McCain HARD. They gave Romney a "talk" and he bowed out. Simple. He let down his supporters. He 'walked away'. He QUITE! That alone should tell you that he is CFR affiliated. Why else would you spend MILLIONS of your dollars and have a decent chance to upset the liberal McCain and go to a brokered convention? Why? Because he was "asked" by the globalists to "get out" so that their errand boy McCain to walk away with it.

Romney was pro-cfr anyways.

Lets "see" if some of these Romney supporters come out and start saying "We need to support McCain" -- that would be very telling, woudln't it.

Lets just wait and see.

Yes it would be telling indeed. It is just so frustrating, I can't even begin to explain this rational. Before I read the forums I was nervous that Paul made the deal, but this is the delegates, they can go with whomever they want, and only 28 went to Huick, 50ish went to Romney and some left. I just don't get it, and am so frustrated.

yup. Because for months now, there have been some on here that will find the most ridiculous things to try and dissuade ANY support for Ron Paul.

What is rather funny is that usaneveda said previously that he would support Ron Paul if Romney wasn't running. Now you see what has happened? Finding the smallest excuse to label "RP" a traitor. Thus try to get everyone onboard to support McCain! Oh, some here will rally behind a "dobbs" bid at 3rd party, but that is just a diversion to remove support from Ron Paul. Why? There is absolutely NO REASON to support someone who hasn't said they were gonna run nor gave any indication they would. So they have people resting their vote, and possibly their spreading of Ron's message by focusing in on a ghost candidate.

Trust me. Hang around. Lets see if these "anti-illegal immigration supporters, anti-cfr, anti-globalist" supporters start trying to say "we need to get behind the party"... and support McCain. Then you will see the depth of the infiltration.

It's obvious that you haven't been a member of ALIPAC for very long. Trust me, none of the regular posters on ALIPAC will throw their support behind John McCain, not under any circumstance.
