Why do you say that OCAngel! I supported Romney. What makes you think its "OUR" fault?

It may not be necessarily "our" fault, but I do agree with OCAngel. For example, I originally started out supporting Tancredo. After he dropped out, I supported Hunter. After Hunter dropped out, I supported Fred. After Fred dropped out, I ended up voting for Romney. If I had supported Romney all along, I could have done more to help his campaign. That said, I think Romney's camp is partly to blame because he wasn't as clear as he could have been in regards to his position on illegal immigration.

That's not entirely true. Paul was eliminated immediately and his supporters were forced to choose between the remaining candidates. Huckster offered them three delegates (out of the delegates he'd eventually win in WV) for their their support and they accepted the offer because their main objective was to gather as many delegates as possible so RP would have more of a voice at the convention.

Paul only had 6 delegates when he arrived in WV. So, he is willing to sell out his principles, supporters and country for 3 delegates----when he had no chance of winning----and he KNEW that!!!

What kind of statement is that Immigrantgrl? Why on earth is this "the GREATEST news I've heard all day"?

WOULD IT ALSO PLEASE YOU TO HAVE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS RUNNING ALL OVER AMERICA AND DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY?

These guys are sinking the republican ship. They should have gotten out sooner if that is what they wanted.


Did they think they would know the results halfway through.

They are muddying their own waters

I am disgusted with the republican party and it deserves what it gets.

Those that wasted their votes on Romney could have thrown their votes another way.

I have a feeling she thinks it would

It seems to me that Romney sold out his conservative principles today. He hurt the anti-illegal immigration cause by claiming the WAR is THE #1 issue.

More importantly, TO WHOM is Romney going to give his delegates ? If Romney gives them to McCain he has sold us out !

McCain said in his speech that "he and Romney have spoke and have agreed to unite their party".

The DREAMIES absolutely despise Romney because he received Tancredo's endorsement.

Romney is by far better and more conservative and stronger against illegal immigration than McCain or the Huckster.

McCain's name getting booed by crowd.

I hope Huckabee goes down real fast too. McCain and Huckabee are _icks for teaming up and going after Romney. And Paul completely lost any respect I had for him by doing his thing in West Virginia.

I hope McCain gets booed wherever he goes for now on! He deserves it.

Then Paul throwing in with Huck set the tone for the Southern states

McCain's buddy moved the primary early on purpose and then endorsed him. It was a total set up.

We all need to stand our ground and tell the GOP that we will NOT fall in line and we will NOT submit to McCain.

I AGREE! We need to stand up and let the GOP we WILL NOT stand behind McCain! NEVER!

Check out my thread "My Letter to GOP Headquarters."

I understand why everyone is upset about the three delegates but the way I look at it is - Paul did have supporters, approximately 10% of the vote. The way this state happens to split the delegates, he ends up with zero. So why not broker a deal to get a few delegates, after all he did have 10% of the votes. I don't think it is that big of a deal. I believe this type of thing has been going on forever but only now are we following the intricate details of each primary and caucus. JMO
