These delegates frustrate and disappoint me

Cheer-up Patriot's! Ron Paul hung in there longer than anybody,
He got more votes than the 'others I have to believe this HAS put a dent in their agenda and embarrassed them, while some thought Ron would get nothing. WE are opening the eye's of many more to come. Keep the faith.
The R3vOLution has just begun. =)

BTW The Campaign for Liberty only needs 1,500 more to reach its goal,

We're all 'DAVE' http://digg.com/political...

I understand your frustration.... personally, if I had been a delegate, I would have refused to vote for McCain, even if it meant getting kicked out....

But, from all the accounts I've read, there's really nothing the delegates could have done. They were steamrolled. They had the secret service and the RNC gestapo monitoring them on the floor. They weren't allowed to speak, they had their belongings confiscated, they were shouted down with chants of "USA!", their votes weren't even counted.... even when they voted for Ron Paul... most of the states just overrode the votes of the delegates and pledged "full delegations."

I can understand the frustration. Always before I thought how stupid for someone to change over to Obama. Although I will never vote for Obama and his socialistic ideas, but watching the RNC, I do understand wanting to hit back at the GOP. It so frustrating to work so hard, only to be cheated again, and again. I hope anyone who is tempted to vote for Obama will reconsider and vote for one of the third party candidates. Not much chance of winning, but at least you won't have to face your conscience later down the road, knowing you helped him win. We should all vote our conscience. For all those who feel like taking revenge by voting Obama-think of the strategy. The evil ones who have prevented us having Ron Paul for president strongly approve of Obama-do you really want to help them in this way? We must keep our wits about us folks, and not let our emotions cause us to do something very foolish.

But, as the saying goes, "there's no crying in baseball".

The closer all of us get to making real change, we will get even more resistance by the hardcore holdouts. We need brute force emotion, logic and personality to win over 'whole' human beings. Using logic alone, we will continue to marginalize our entire movement.

Obama = NWO, more IRS, more Federal Reserve, more war.

Give me a break Obama? Obama=Bush=McCain they are all in it together.

The Democrats and Republicans play good cop / bad cop every four years to make the other one look so bad that you don't stop to think that its the same thing, the same people, the same problems.

The Democrats are not the answer, the Republicans are not the answer, the only answer is Revolution.

What's the story on this? I'd like to read it from a good link.

SUPPORT OUR FOUNDERS' AMERICA
Support the Constitution of the United States

next time we need to put the delegates thru a test to see if they will break under pressure,,,,,, the delegates should not go for ron paul if they break easy under pressure

that DID NOT cave & cast their vote for Ron Paul. These are the true leaders & need to be rallied behind.

your information. I had no expectations about the delegates going into this. I was just happy anyone even made the effect to go. I contributed money to the delegates. This is not touch football this is serious scary shit. The general public still don't even know who the hell Ron Paul is. We don't know how people voted because the mics were cut off. So take a chill pill and get yourself elected to office. Leaving the GOP is what they want and it's not happening because if it drives them crazy that is my sweet revenge. hee,hee
It took 30 plus years for Ron Paul to be Ron Paul. I figure I have 29 more years to go before I could have Ron Paul's courage and wisdom. Peace

some of them stood up and did their job but others crumbled in the face of thousands of opposition ...

some would say they should have held together better and others blame them

each individual was affected differently although i still do not understand how some of them switched to mccain

I was initially angry and disgusted, but after giving it some thought, I must admit that I was not there, thus I have no idea what pressure/threats/coercion was placed upon our delegates. I have also been thinking about what Ron Paul espouses...change from the bottom up. The higher ups in the GOP, I think will continue as they are, and are beyond "redemption". But because some of our delegates went for unity this time, I think the "regular" loyal GOP members would be more inclined to listen to our views next time around...going for unity may have knocked down that wall between us... made us seem less like "kooks", etc...
Just some thoughts I've been having...

THIS TIME.

Politics is an ugly game. We had a presence at the stuffy GOP coronation, even though our delegate vote count was not what we would have liked. I would like to focus on the almost 15,000 delegates at the Rally for the Republic. There is more creativitiy, knowledge and resources in those 15000 people than the entire Republican Party. (Notice I didn't say money.) We have sent a message to the GOP and will continue.

I hope our delegates at the coronation will continue to work for the freedom message. This is not about a single candidate, it is about ideas. Believe it or not, our ideas are taking hold... not as quickly as I would have liked, but they are.

on all the issues. I think everyone here does also. And I agree with you, to a point. This Sat. 06-08 7:50am ET. I've searched the web, all of this site, and I still haven't been able to find out too much about Dr. Paul's delegates vote at the RNC convention. About all I've been able to find are rumors and second hand info.. I don't know exactly what happened at the convention, and it would seem we will never learn exactly what happened there. If the delegates made a statement to the republican party that rings clear the constitutional rights of the people, then I haven't heard it anywhere. Not the MSM, not here, or anywhere for that matter. I'm still waiting. I can understand the MSM not reporting this, but I thought I'd hear more about this issue here, but it hasn't happened yet.
I think a delegate report is needed. It could be what Dr. Paul has in mind for his press release next week, but I just don't know.
