In a letter obtained by the Las Vegas Sun, the Republican National Committee’s chief counsel warns the Nevada GOP chairman that if Ron Paul supporters sweep the state convention and wind up taking too many delegate slots it could affect the seating of the state’s delegation in Tampa.

The RNC lawyer advises, “I believe it is highly likely that any committee with jurisdiction over the matter would find improper any change to the election, selection, allocation, or binding of delegates, thus jeopardizing the seating of Nevada’s entire delegation to the National Convention.”

As I wrote on the main site, Paul is moving toward having enough delegates to place his name in nomination at the convention. Even some of the delegates legally bound to other candidates will actually be Ron Paul supporters, including 16 of 19 delegates named at the Massachusetts congressional district caucuses, where Paul forces even beat out former Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey. Salon notes the potential for disruption, which the party now may be belatedly taking steps to avoid. It’s likely that Paul will overperform the media delegate counts when he gets to the national convention.

Forget Ron Paul, Mitt Romney is our candidate, and RNC must work on the campaign in defeating Obama and his pals.

Clint| 5.3.12 @ 5:29PM

However Little Billy, The Bigot.

Ron Paul supporters dominate Louisiana's Republican presidential caucuses

he caucuses were held in the state's six newly drawn congressional districts.

While the presidential preferences of the delegates were not identified on the caucus ballots, delegates who back the libertarian congressman, who is now the only one of Mitt Romney's adversaries still standing, won the lion's share of the contests, carrying the 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th Congressional Districts.

As a result, under party rules, Paul is guaranteed at least 17 of the 46 delegates to the convention at which Romney will almost certainly be nominated for president.

Watch And Learn Little Billy,The Bigot.

Bill| 5.3.12 @ 6:00PM

Watch And Learn Little Clint,The Bigot.
Ron Paul won primaries/caucuses: ZERO.
5% head bangers can vote Obama and then go to hell.

Clint| 5.3.12 @ 7:01PM

Do Your Homework Billy The Bigot.

" TAMPA, April 7, 2012 – GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney continues to win primaries and Ron Paul still won’t go away.

Part of the reason is that the Paul campaign understands the primary process and knows a little history. Romney’s support is lukewarm, while Paul’s actual delegate total is dramatically understated.

As Robert Wenzel points out, Paul is a lot like Warren Harding. Harding went into the brokered 1920 convention with only 6% of the delegates, but emerged as the party’s nominee. Harding won the general election in a landslide and took a very non-interventionist approach to the Depression of 1921.

Free market economists cite Harding’s refusal to intervene in that crisis for the quick recovery that followed. "

Ron Paul runs better then Romney against Obama. He gets the votes of dissident independents and Democrats. Let the Repubican elites do what ever they want. We will tear the party to pieces if they don't give us an honest shake at the conventions. The young and intelligent are with us. Old people like me are not the future of the party. They young will take over the party and drive out the fools who have led the movement and country over the cliff. We get good treatment at the convention, or we organize a boycott at the top of the ticket. Who cares if Romney and the Bush's keep stinking up the Presidency?

Vern Crisler| 5.3.12 @ 6:15PM

As kooky as Ron Paul and the Paulistas are, I hope all conservatives join them in disrupting the Republican convention. Send a message to Karl Rove and the Establishment Republicans. (I suggest selling magic underwear at the convention.)

Jack in Wi.| 5.3.12 @ 9:00PM

Vern: For once we agree. Let there be an honest convention with all issues aired and debated. The elites havee been stopping that for a couple of decades. The conventions have become nothing but the coronations of Royalty.

This comment isn't for Vern...I understand your point, Vern.

But for you other two imbeciles, I hope you get a big fat Ron Paul fart in the face come Tampa Time...because you two idiots don't know ANYTHING about real power. Your boy Ron Paul doesn't have a chance to do anything but keep the Republican table a little unsteady for the real man behind the curtain you fools are holding up....

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA...MMM....MMM.... MMM!!!!

That about sums it up...for the two of you...

TWO DEMOCRATS.

People, when you read posts like those put up by these ignorant and useful idiots...just know this...

Their crap is always directed at one party alone...The Republicans.

Their hate (and Clint really hates Jews) is ALWAYS beneficial for one party to slide in and slither to victory with the help of their forked tongues...

“If you’re serious about changing Washington, D.C., you can’t use an Etch-A-Sketch. You can’t have a child’s toy as a president. What you’ve got to have is a serious tough commitment that you’re wiling to fight. Because if you’re not prepared to fight, you’re not going to change anything, and that’s a fact.”

" Newt Gingrich Still Thinks Mitt Romney Lied During Campaign

Former Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich said Mitt Romney "said things that weren't true," over the course of the campaign.

Shown a new ad from the Obama campaign during an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer Thursday - a clip reel of Gingrich's slams on Romney during the primary season - Gingrich laughed and said, "You have a rough-and-tumble primary season and you'll get words like that."

Only the most "yellow dog" old guard, dedicated republicans will back Mitt .

Reliable polls show that 22% of AMERICAN voters will NEVER vote for a Mormon.Probably a unfair prejudice BUT life is not always fair.

ONLY Dr Paul can attract voters outside the GOP and win the General election.

If Mitt ran on a third party ticket he would not get enough votes to hurt anyone.
.........................................................................................................................
The GOP has TWO choices
1. RON PAUL
2. LOSE the general election by margins worse than anyone can remember PLUS lose numerous Senate and house seats.

An impressive litany of Dr. Paul's personal voting record; rather short on actual accomplishments, though. Interestingly, I COULD CLAIM 7 of the 10 cited "achievements".

I never voted to raise taxes.
I never voted for an unbalanced budget.
I never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
I never voted to raise congressional pay.
I never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
I have never participated in a government-paid junket (though there was one particularly memorable night in Bakersfield that was paid for by a sugar mama...but I digress).
I do not participate in the lucrative congressional pension plan.

Does this render me the most qualified candidate for the Presidency?

See Mickey....as I stated above..Clint ALWAYS tries to direct the conversation to something involving one of his fantasies....He's a pervert.
On this website, there are a few rules that everyone knows...(don't worry, I know you comment all the time...I'm just making a point).

The rules are these:

OLDFARTE - Means well, but he is a tunnel visioned idiot.
SIMON TEMPLAR: Really is very bright, and always commands respect.
DREK: Not quite sure, but I like his posts...but they have slowed since Newt has been run out of the race, so he may very well have been paid. (DREK...if you are still there, take no offense...and that means that you are for real)
Jack in WI: This person is really waiting to wear the Jackboots and put them on all of our necks...when given half of a chance...This type of person is dangerous in politics. Sieg Heil is just the start for this type.
Bill: He is a bigot, that hates black people, and it's not even a "I like my own kind" hatred that a whole bunch of EVERY race feels from time to time...He really is a BIGOT.
GRYMLYK: This is just a troll.
Quin Hillyer: He is Lt. Dann from forest gump with a real case of the lookalikes for that fellow who used to be on fox news alot and has nearly pointed eyebrows and plays to the middle right...you know who I am talking about.
WL: That's me. I'm on your side, but I like the Jewish people, so the Ron Paul people don't like me...and I don't like them.
and finally...

CLINT: I sincerely believe Clint is a very real pervert who does his best to draw every single conversation to innappropriate areas that don't include politics...He supports every conservative who is as successful as one of hell's snowballs, but blasts any conservative or Republican who isn't dead and has a real chance at power. And lastly, he has NO INTEREST in defeating Obama...and that is easy to see in his posts....His only interest is defeating ANY Republican with a chance to win...PLUS, be sure not to be duped into any of his perverted conversations...or you will be mental materials for one of those times that he is extra quiet and does his best to make sure his Mom doesn't get woken up if he accidentally hits the bottom of the slideout keyboard drawer in the process....

That's ASpec for you.

Lastly...for real this time...as much as I like his stuff and agree with him...I think Jeffrey Lord is on Mark Levin's Payroll.

Micky the Dickie is just not used to having to write such BIG words, and they are beyond his level of understanding.

Nite| 5.3.12 @ 7:20PM

Ron Paul supporters are the ones who lied and trashed Governor Rick Perry on every conservative web site available. In fact they were still doing it after Perry dropped out of the race. Ron Paul is a kook and is well known in Texas.

Clint| 5.3.12 @ 7:34PM

Ya Mean The New Mittens' Kitten.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry has endorsed Mitt Romney for president, switching his endorsement.

WL| 5.4.12 @ 12:14AM

You will be doing your best to take down the Republican nominee for the next 6 months won't you Clint.???

We have you figured out.

WL| 5.4.12 @ 12:14AM

You LYING DEMOCRAT

Clint| 5.4.12 @ 2:18AM

You're Just Another Sputterin' Serial Sociopathic Israel Firster Smear Bund Goebbels Big Lie Propagandist Liar, WL.

We Got Your Number, Israel Firster Traitor Bastard,WL.

Israel Firster Smear Bund Bibi Towel Boy,WL Will Be Doin' His Best To Give Us The Israel Firster Romney:McCain Redux.

We Got You Traitor Bastard Israel Firster Agendists Figured Out.

You're The Democrat Boat People From The NeoCon Exodus.

WL| 5.4.12 @ 2:40AM

And who is the convenient alternative that CLINT would have us accept to smear bund RINO CINO etc etc Mitt Romney????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

But of course....

The only other choice is yours truly.....

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.

No more denials Clint...do the Hitler salute...click your heels and snap to your best attention to your leader...

OBAMA

WL| 5.4.12 @ 2:51AM

If any of you observers ever wonder why such a "constitutionalist" such as Ron Paul is always waiting in the wings to withhold support from anyone who is in a position to challenge Obama...

It's pretty simple...ask yourselves a few questions..

Why do his "supporters" never really seem to attack Obama with the ferocity that they storm the republican with???

Why do they seem to let BHO get lost in the mix when they are doing their best to convince you that BHO's adversary is just as bad....

These last few exchanges with DEMOCRAT CLINT should answer them for you...

They don't want the Republican to win (even an imperfect Republican like Romney)....

THEY ONLY WANT ONE RESULT...

A split and de-spirited opposition to Obama...

And a 2nd Obama Term...

That is their goal.

aware| 5.4.12 @ 6:05AM

You are delusional. Do you really think Paul supporters are Obama supporters?

I love how you Republicans ram down a fatally flawed nominee and then prepare to blame Paul supporters and anybody else when he loses.

Get a clue, the only "choice" you have in November is progressive left and progressive right.

Stupid conservatives, why do you suppose there was only 1 northeastern progressive and 5 or 6 "conservative" candidates in this primary? Divide and conquer.

Clint| 5.4.12 @ 9:16AM

We Pushed Bibi's Towel Boy,WL's Button.

Obama Is An Asshole, Just Like You WL.

But,Then You Already Know That Bibi's Towel Boy,WL.

Mick Lee| 5.4.12 @ 7:55AM

Face the music, folks. Would Paul be a better President than Romney? Sure. Would Paul be a better President than Obama? Sure. Can Paul be elected? Nope.
The Democrats would love to plaster the airwaves with the very words out of Paul's mouth to portray him as the quintessential “fourth horseman of the apocalypse” Republican—the boogeyman of the leftwing folklore for the last one hundred years. Would Paul beat Obama in a debate before the American people? Yup. But dear sweet reason will not win this race.
Democrats will paint Paul as the vicious, heartless monster they’ve always said their opponents were and way too many voters will believe them from one degree to another—especially when a good many realize that they might not be getting their monthly checks from Uncle Sam in the future. (The good ship United States may be slipping beneath the water; but a sizable block of the public will still expect to be served hot coffee and donuts when we come to rest on the ocean floor.)
Which is too bad. If Paul were elected, I would look forward to all the Paulists changing their tune from the “Republican big cheeses” not giving Paul a chance to the “conspiring Democrats” in Congress not giving Paul's agenda a chance.

Sean| 5.4.12 @ 10:41AM

The beauty of a Paul Presidency is that he would use the veto. If he has a Republican house and split Senate he could stop the expansion of government in its tracks. That is better than what you would get with other candidates.

Tim the Enchanter| 5.4.12 @ 10:05AM

Nice comment thread. Another RP flame war. Yawn.

LiveFreeOrDie| 5.4.12 @ 12:45PM

AS, we need the ability to collapse the Clint threads.

Abu Nudnik| 5.5.12 @ 12:30PM

I like a lot of Paul's positions but no one has successfully explained the war on the Fed and the money supply. Paul's followers only insult me when I ask for an explanation. Needless to say, that is not an explanation. A lot of it verges on paranoia though his opposition to raising debt limits is something I admire in him vehemently. As someone said above, a veto-president would be a good thing.

I like his non-interventionist strategy but his "blowback" theory will kill him in November.

What's with the "Israel-firster" obsession? I agree with Paul that withdrawing from the "peace process" would actually be good for Israel (not to mention all that money that goes to her enemies not to fight and lose to her.

But the language has an irrational edge. Elections are about appearances too. People really ought to be more careful - more politic - in their choice of words.

jstwndring| 5.7.12 @ 5:25PM

Wow. The only way Republicans win is with Obama's help. We have not one candidate in the party that inspires enough people to vote for the Republicans. So, if we win it will be because of America vomiting up Obama and the Dems that control the Senate. Hopefully, Obama keeps playing his part.
