Brokered convention...
Ron Paul 's only chance is a brokered convention. His aim is to collect delegates. Huckabee was willing to give 3 to him..which gave him 10%. I see nothing wrong with it. His supporters donate money and work hard for him..he feels as though he owes a debt to us to do his best to WIN. That is integrity. He is doing it for us. If Mitt Romeny would have offered, I'm sure he would have done the same thing. It looks like now Mitt Romney has thrown any chance of a brokered convention..which will guarantee McCain. Don't be mad at Ron Paul. Mitt would have really had a chance to pull it off at a brokered convention...I have no idea why he didn't go for it.

IMO, I think it is EXTREMELY important for Conservatives to UNITE and say NO, Absolutely NO to MCCain. Let the GOP know they haven't a chance in hell to win without conservatives.
And then let True Conservatives put up a VIABLE third party candidate who COULD win against the Dems -- A candidate for whom it would be totally evident that ALL conservatives could support -- you could then possibly get a backlash where the McCain vote could be siphoned off to win against Hillary or Obama. Make it clear to them that they haven't a snowball's chance in hell to win without the conservative vote.
MAKE them realize -- they need US more than they need McCain to win the White House.
So far, however, conservatives have been unable to unite . ..and that is where the true problem lies, IMO.

To all of those saying that what paul did was horrible, you must have severe memory lapse:
1. You never would of voted for Paul no matter what. Most likely because you are MOD EDIT.
2. ROMNEY, MCCAIN and HUCKABEE, ALL TEAMED UP in Louisiana to prevent Paul from getting first place. This was BEFORE WV.
3. Paul is hoping for a brokered convention so this WAS the right move for their campaign.

02-07-2008, 07:13 PM #224Paul 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!!!
Well his country sold him out at the beginning of the election. He has been all but blacklisted and censored by the news media; yet, he keeps on trying. He knows he has no chance of winning, but he does want to keep his message out there and force the other candidates to respond. And truthfully, he is the only true Reagan conservative running. In-fact, when RR ran for President he had the support of only 4 Congressmen and Paul was one of them. Now ALL these phony balogne's talk about RR as though they were the best of friends, and of course my friends, I was a foot soldier...

Immigration is about the only thing they did have in common, I think."Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost." -- John Quincy Adams

Let's just wait and see who Romney throws his support behind, the we will find out the true character of the man.
