WV - RON PAUL Gop Convention Speech. 9:50am, Windows Media Link, NOW!!!

On CNN.com they are reporting 100% WV results and paul came in fourth with 10% and 118 delegates

I think it is very significant that Ron Paul got 10% of the vote.

10% is enough to blackmail the Republican Party and change its course.

If Ron Paul does as well as 10% for the other 22 states today, that will be a victory.

I want my specific civil rights back. I am specifically fighting for a reverse of Internet regulation that makes it illegal for websites to let Americans talk to foreigners online without background checks on the American.

Now I also want investigations into corruption in Congress because I do not want rights being taken away via "deals" anymore. I was pro-war until I learned that jerks like McCain were making deals with the Democrats to get their unconstitutional social engineering laws passed in return for the Dems voting for things like the surge and Alito and funding for Iraq.

Hurricane resident Carol Young said it's unfair that an "elite tier" of Republicans can determine more than half of the state's national convention delegates. With only nine national convention votes coming from the primary, Young said she is outraged that other Republicans in the state don't have a chance to be equally represented.

"Why, if they were making a drastic change in the way we can nominate our presidential candidate, did they not publicize it?" Young said. "We were robbed of the right to vote."

John Morris, chairman of the Cabell County Republican Executive Committee, said he was not satisfied with the amount of publicity for the new format. A more widespread, diverse group of Republicans would be a better representation of the party, he said.

"There's been a lot of confusion. If I have anything to do about it, I'd make sure we never have a convention again," Morris said. "I'd like to go back to the primary."

The new convention process required registered Republicans to vote online or during a county convention for at-large county delegates to represent them at Tuesday's convention. At-large county delegates total 42 percent of the delegates at the statewide convention. Other delegates are all the members of the county Republican executive committees, all the members of the West Virginia Executive Committee, state Republican Lawmakers and Secretary of State Betty Ireland, Fish said.

Mike Ankrom, political director for the West Virginia Republican Club and Cabell County GOP convention delegate, said the new process will allow the state to affect national politics.

"West Virginia can actually have it's voice heard. Before, there was no reason for a presidential candidate to come to West Virginia, but now that the convention will be first to announce its results, candidates want to come to West Virginia," Ankrom said. "It's unfortunate that not many people are participating in the process, but they still have their vote to cast during the primary."

Republican Rebecca Lepanto of Huntington said she is happy to be represented in Charleston by elected delegates but hopes the convention format will change to allow loyal GOP voters to cast their votes in a primary election together. A nationwide GOP primary would give all states, not a select few, the opportunity to determine who will receive the GOP nomination, she said.

The warning was out yesterday for GOP shennanigans...

The .pdf in the www.wvgop.org has some 500+ delegates that were elected.

In that count we did relatively well.

However there were 1200+ people in the convention and rest off course are the party hacks or neocons who want to keep their jobs.

OK so he said Ron Paul is being eliminated do to the fact he has the lowest number of delegates cast - how does the 221 come in to play, or does it not?

I hope the Ron Paul delegates don't vote in the next round! No horse trading!

in West Virginia...

Someone off camera said that Paul has "basically been eliminated".

like taking other peoples money and grabbing it for themselves. Huck and Romney love to make promises with money they don't have.
