First off I haven't claimed any moral high ground. Second this game has rules. The RP campaign is playing by those rules in a transparent manner. I have already mentioned my thoughts on this matter several times.

I find it funny that of all the things you should be concerned about in an election that this is what has apparently bothered you.

You are personally biased. That's well documented by your posting history.

I'll take you seriously when you apply equal condemnation to the abuses of Democrat candidates.

A system that ignores the will of the voters in picking candidates should bother anyone who has principles of fairness.

Are you serious? How can you judge my posting history when you think I am a Democrat? I've voted for 1 Democrat my entire life that I can think of and I voted for McCain over Obama.


P.S. everyone has certain biases, but you apparently aren't too familiar with mine.

Some people may have disabilities. This has nothing to do w/ their "state of meds". Nice to know you are so thoughtful though.

The point here is that the Paul supporters have indeed "seized" control of the Clark County GOP. They did this by organization and voter apathy. While everyone argues who is best in the GOP presidential field, the Paul supporters are taking over local and state GOP not only here in Nevada but in all the caucus states by design.

Yawn, what is the point? Paul isn't going to win legitimately and he isn't going to win by hijacking the system. Paul hasn't shown widespread support anywhere and the party bosses aren't ignorant, they aren't going to nominate Paul just because he has a tiny group of rabid supporters.

Not that Obama wouldn't luv running against Paul and his racist past. It just ain't going to happen. Watch for Christie if the convention is deadlocked. I think the only reason he didn't get in the primaries is the stress of a long campaign on a man his size.
