Ron Paul DROPS OUT

The Republican National Committee seems to think there ARE bound delegates. And they seem to think very, very few are bound to Paul. The RNC believes that only Romney, Santorum, and Gingrich have more bound delegates than Paul.

I realize that they seem to think that, but the problem is the rules clearly state that the delegates are not bound. It's scary to see that the RNC set forth the rule and then decide to react with violence when the rules are clearly being followed just because they don't agree with the outcome of it.

People need to wake up and realize that this is bigger than Paul or any of the candidates. There's a reason we have rules. The elected officials we put in charge cannot just do whatever they decide to do. I can't remember a time when the election process was filled with so much doubt, confusion and hatred more than this year has been filled with.

 

and rogue candidates intent on hijacking the process can't just worm their way into a nomination

delegate allocation is based on getting votes in the primary elections, ron paul failed miserably at that

he has not won a single state primary election, not one and he barely even got 10% in his home state

 

Hijacking? It's called following the rules set forth by the party itself. If you don't like it, write to them and let them know of your displeasure with it. Otherwise quit trolling. You and several others are completely ignorant to the actual intent of this thread.

 

no, it's a dishonest scheme by a crooked politician

 

Good to know you can form your own opinion....now quit steering off the original topic...

 

i was responding to what you wrote

 

Your original reply had nothing to do with what I wrote...you turned it into another Paul hit piece. It's not about Paul...get that through your head.

 

you're wrong about that

Please let me know how what I said above has anything to do with Paul....what I wrote has nothing to do with the candidates...it's about the party itself...

Your reply to that directly points to Paul...so yes...what you replied had NOTHING to do with what I wrote...

 

you wrote, "paul"

and the title of the thread contains 'ron paul'

 

Wow...trolling at its finest....

 

try being logical

 

Actually, I have many times said that some of what Paul has said is very good. And I have said that Paul was the exact wrong person to say those things. Paul was the right person to say his crazy things as Paul has never done anything about anything he says.
But someone with a record of and an understanding of how to get things done should champion the good ideas wasted by Paul.

 

Dude dont bother,you get nowehere.You're on a merry go round that goes nowhere but back to where it only wants to go right now.

 

Now your catching on.

 

Paulobots are gullible for propaganda and don't know what you are talking about. Rule 38 has nothing to do with delegates being bound or not. Rule 38 negates the "UNIT RULE." That means a delegate cannot be forced to vote with the majority of his states delegates.. But if he is from a winner take all state then he is bound to vote for that states winning candidate.

It is rule # 15 that CLEARLY binds delegates to vote according to the rules of their state.

Rule 38 is a tiny technical rule and does not make delegates 'unbound.' It simply protects delegates from being overcome by their own states other delegates.

Paul has lost. Romney has more than enough BOUND delegates to win on the first ballot and those BOUND delegates MUST vote for him on the first ballot.

Paulobots seriously need to leave fantasyland and check reality. Misstating a technicality rule to have it mean something other than what is does is just Paulobot fantasyland again and again.

Its over, he NEVER had a chance.

 

the longer Ron Paul hangs in there the more nervous the establishment gets. Obama is SCARED

 

scared of what? an old nut case that can barely get 10% of the vote in his home state

 

obama is scared of an informed nation, not the impotent old ineffective Paul.

 

Why do you think Ron Paul is ineffective? He's is the ONLY person in office that IS effective!!!

 

What bill has he gotten passed in the last 30 years. Name at least two.

 

Effective at WHAT? Losing presidential and Senatorial elections by huge margins? Sponsoring an enormous amount of failed bills over and over?
Finishing FOURTH in a 2 man race?
Preaching nonsense to naive, immature political neophytes, and convincing scant few of them?
Switching from one party to another and then switching again in a desperate attempt to find support, but failing?
If that is your idea of effective, look up the meaning of the word.

 

Just because he is still running for the nomination, doesn't mean that he's actually trying to get the nomination. If he gets enough delegates he'll (hopefully) get attention. Hopefully he'll get a prime chance to speak at the convention. He's been in this to spread his message, and it's been working. He doesn't need to win the nomination to win. Libertarians have been a quickly growing population in America, largely to his credit.

 

Good grief. 249 posts about someone who doesn't stand a chance of winning anything other than a room discount at a Texas nursing home.
