Lawyers Confirm All Delegates Are Unbound!

anywhere from half to 2/3 of those Romney Delegates are Ron Paul supporters to begin with. And no they are not bound to Mittens. Why do you think the RNC is setting up a shadow party to run him with? The RINO's are getting ready to jump ship.

In the rules, I noticed RNC rule 37e mentions shutting it down if they can't conduct the convention (for whatever reason). I'm assuming it's this type of ruling that the GOP is using to justify doing things like turning mics off, closing in walls, and turning lights off. They're justifying their actions by the misconduct (even if it's by people other than Paul's supporters) and then the media often blames it on Paul people but thankfully, there are a lot of people videotaping the proceedings. I would assume they could use this at the RNC. Even if the Paul delegates are completely respectful, delegates of other candidates could start a ruckus in order to disrupt the convention (not the Paul delegates) in order to shut it down. I wouldn't put anything past them at this point. I'm not sure exactly how they nominate their presidential and VP candidates if that happens. But if they force Romney on everyone, Paul supporters will abandon the GOP (not only them but anyone who witnesses how corrupt the party has become). The proof is out there for all to see and they can't hide the cheating anymore. People will leave in droves. And I really don't care anymore. And I'm not a youngster.

If you don't like the rules, leave the club. If the other members don't like you, they can kick you out. The members make the rules.

That's why I'm a Libertarian, in part. I don't want to join a club that obviously would not want me as a member! ;) Good luck.

I love Matt and Ben, but I trust what the parliamentarians say over them. They know the ins and outs of all the rules and study every state's bylaws. I would not go with Matt on this one.
If there were so many loopholes to get it to go our way, don't you think they would have been done before now?

The great majority of conservative voters is who we are dealing with; not the powerful neocons who make money from big government in whatever form it may take. They have been conditioned to think that:

1. We have to be aggressive in our dealings with the rest of the world to combat hostility to America around the world. They think that soft, bleeding heart liberals have unjustly given us a bad name by taking us so far from the roots of what made us the shining 'beacon on the hill' from Reagan's speech. Also, that weakness invites attack. I know. I used to feel that way, all the while not trusting those same leaders to manage the wars I thought we needed to just go in and win.
2. Our freedom rests in our economy and the socialist liberals are too wrapped up in fake compassion to allow us to be the hard working, productive, prosperous nation that our previously strong work ethic and business climate built for us.
3. The liberal culture of sexual permissiveness has weakened that work ethic by allowing all kinds of deviation from normal and judeo-christian societal systems that result in government dependency programs necessitated by the poverty that those changes bring about in any society. (ala European socialism and cultural norms)
4. The answer to all of this is to oust Obama and put in an upstanding, hardworking individual who shows personal prosperity to prove he knows what it can do for the rest of us if we will get back to our roots.

If we can show them that Ron is strong where he needs to be strong, in relation to our dealings with the rest of the world and with our economy, so as to get the government off our backs so we can all go back to making a living, they will be more ready to tolerate his views of not being able to legislate morality. As a matter of fact, if we can show how getting government money out of academia and private society will make America operate more the way it used to, many will be convinced that the cultural genie will slowly slide back into the bottle.
Just combat the lies that have been told about him and show how he can beat Obama and they will go for him easily.

Their extreme dislike of Obama would ensure they'd vote for Ron if he were the nominee.
