Ronulans…Are you out there?

It’s quiet… too quiet.

I was “a-Pauled” by the behavior of some of the Paul delegates. They were disruptive and rude, despite finally being treated by the party apparatus with the respect they’d earned by virtue of their election. I have said that the challenging of all the Paul delegates was childish and pointless. But the most vocal of the Paul delegates lived up to the party’s worst expectations.

@Nick Kasoff

believe me the frustration that these people feel during this election is understandible.

we have been ignored, called names, ignored, ridiculed, ignored, smeared, ignored and finally you expect us to act all nice and friendly when they’re stealing your country in front of your eyes.

So… properly elected Republican delegates were investigated and booted for being suspected of being loyal to a Republican?

Am I the only one who finds it completely absurd that there can’t be rational discourse on their conflicting views?

This was certainly a short enough article NOT to find out the outcome..HOW MANY delegates were selected for each? Was it for the natl”s?
Be MORE specific please ..By the way *************8

I dont agree but not taking chances knowing the action this group has had in past donations to campaigns & boycotts
I’m off to find results !

You didn’t have to act nice and friendly. But calling for “point of information” or “point of order” every two minutes, then making idiotic and irrelevant speeches until your microphone is turned off, certainly doesn’t serve to raise the esteem of Congressman Paul in the eyes of other Republicans.

I happen to agree with Paul on about 95% of the issues. He’s my favorite Congressman, and I’d love to have had him for our President. All but an insane few realize that won’t happen this year. At this point, I will do whatever I can to prevent socialist Barak Obama from being elected as President - and that includes enthusiastically supporting John McCain. I will also work to prevent the wrecking of Missouri state government by a Nixon administration - which means that if Mr. Hushof fails to win his primary, though I think that is very unlikely, I will work for Mrs. Steelman.

As a voter, you can split your ticket, and can change your party affiliation every day if you want. As a delegate to the Republican convention, your loyalty is to the party. When Paul supporters say they will go elsewhere in November, they demonstrate that they are not Republicans, they are supporters of Ron Paul. That’s why the party challenged your credentials. I thought they were dumb to do it, but after your cnoduct at the convention, it seems to me they should have stuck to their guns. They had the votes to keep you out, and chose to let you in. You rewarded them by being disruptive, rude, and childish. Congressman Paul should be ashamed.

For the record, there were numerous non-Ron Paul supporters engaging in rude and childish behavior as well - cat-calling and being disruptive when someone they perceived as a Ron Paul supporter was addressing the chair or body. Almost without exception, Ron Paul supporters were respectful to the chair and respectful to the body. There were no protests, no screaming and yelling, and no outbursts. At adjournment, the chair even thanked the body for their respectful behavior throughout. Regretfully, Mr. Kasoff is unable to accurately access reality, or is a terminal exaggerator.

Nick, have you ever thought that some people’s loyalty is to the principles of the Republican platform, and they find abhorrent the idea of electing a President who openly despises about half of that platform?

It’s nice that you yourself put electoral victory over doing what’s right, but your requests of these Republicans to forgo their morals, vacate their conscience, and go pound pavement and raise money for a lesser of two evils — rather than someone like Ron Paul who practices not only a political life but a personal life according to the philosophy of personal and economic liberty and non-interventionism — will continue to fall on deaf ears. No sale.

You party faithfuls had a choice to nominate a man who would inspire the grassroots to beat the charismatic demagogue of the other side. You made the wrong choice. The Republican defeat in November, and whatever tyrannical policies the Democrat winner, will be placed squarely on the shoulders of the neocons and party apparatchiks that turned away a grassroots uprising that numbered fully 1/3 at all of the conventions.

You made your bed, so lie in it and quit blaming the victims, which are the thousands of movement conservatives that you continue to thoroughly reject as recently as yesterday.

Nothing new this year.

In keeping with unnecessary spending of the Party, they wasted good money on horrible food, terrible entertainment, certified postage on 300 frivolous charges, and who knows how much on motorcycle riders as security people (one long-haired guy even had a middle-finger sign on his leather vest). In addition, they hired about 50 “cheerleaders” for Hulshof for Governor.

They gave Hulshof 15 long, boring minutes to speak while only offering 3 minutes to Republican Sarah Steelman. Steelman received a standing ovation from unpaid supporters. The party had to spend money on Hulshof to get some semblance of excitement about him. They continue to shove candidates down our throats. County Chairmen and other long-time Republicans were even cut off at the knees.

Considering that 300 conservative Republicans went through the agony of frivolous challenges to their reputation, traveled to Jefferson City to prove themselves, then having the challenges held over their heads until the convention, I was impressed to see so many of them there.

I met several of them - well dressed conservative Republicans who aren’t afraid to talk about what many of us would secretly like to be able to say. I voted with them more than against them.

A true conservative who will one day find my courage.

“Paul forces failed in several attempts to engage in debates over the slates or issues.”

This line pretty well sums up the convention - there was no substantive debate over any issue, only rubber-stamping of pre-determined Credentialing and Rules reports, Delegate/Alternate slates, Electors, National Committeeman/woman, and Platform.
