I never thought they would actually get away with changing the rules in the middle of the game but by damn they did it, and snuffed Ron Paul out of another chance to run. If I cared about Electing Ron Paul I might just be pissed off....
Rand Paul was one of the main speakers and they put on a very tasteful video of Ron Paul paying tribute to all of his accomplishments through the years. It was very complimentary and obvious that the Republican party appreciates the man.

Yeah I'm sure Ron Paul appreciated it , so much that he didn't stay to see it.

A nice little Video tribute to say .....

" Hey we appreciate all your support over the years but you don't deserve the same chance as all other "REAL" Republicans so we will change the rules to make sure you don't disrupt our nice little Nomination ceremony for the fake Republican that more than half the country can't stomach"...

Yeah I'm sure that will Appease the Hard core Ron Paul voters and other Libertarians just long enough to get them to vote for Willard.....

Although I seriously doubt it. Ron Paul may not be on the ballot, but he will be getting enough write in votes to make a difference in a few areas. With a Libertarian on the ticket the third party is going to be a force this election... In my opinion.

Ever heard of Youtube?.. TEVO?... I wasn't critiquing the little pity tribute they did for Ron Paul I was Critiquing the fact that they had the nerve to do it after what they did to the man. I wouldn't vote for Ron Paul on the issues but he didn't deserve to be tossed to the side by GOP bullying . Changing the delegation rules to keep Ron Paul from upstaging the new GOP king only proves how low the GOP party will go to win. They'll " eat their own" if it looks like one of them will upset the balance.

Not that Ron Paul could have won, but he at least should have been given the chance.. He did win 4 states and most of another, that was enough to contest Willard as the nominee... that is until Willard opened the Wallet.

So are you telling me you did watch it or are you just dancing around the issue?
