I think the delegates with any sense of ethics and morals should just not show up at the convention. With Romney having to resort to such despicable tactics to try to become the RNC nominee disenfranchising the other potential nominees to the degree he has, I think the RNC should see that actions like these have consequences. Let it be that only the 50 true blue Romney Delegates show up for the convention and everyone else boycott it.

Look at what Romney's had to do for 6 months.

You think the delegates should go along with this? They should just throw their morals out the window and just do what the RNC tells them to do?

Why are you embarrassed for ME?

I feel sorry for you that you seem incapable of seeing any wrong doing in everything that has gone on. Any candidate behind so much wrong doing doesn't deserve to be nominated. Isn't your apparent position an ironic position from someone whose user name is "stay informed"? What good does it do to stay informed if all you are going to end up doing is going along with the sheeple like it sounds like you'd advocate?

Let's be clear: Mitt Romney has the RNC nomination wrapped up no matter what you Ron Paulian blow hards say, think, or do. Give it a rest.

What is your definition of "wrapped up"? If it was truly "wrapped up" there wouldn't be any disputes from the delegates or need to change the rules or 6 months of "Reality Check" reports exposing the OUTRIGHT FRAUD and CHEATING Romney has had to engage in. You think all of this is fair and above board?

I think America has made it clear that we don't want Ron Paul for our President. Any attempt to thwart Romney is an attempt to re-seat Barack Obama. And for that reason, I have lost respect for Pauls supporters.

It doesn't matter if you support Dr. Paul or not. The fact that the RNC has changed its rules midstream, removed duly elected delegates and replaced them with Romney's cronies and have now voted that they can change rules anytime, anywhere and at the whim of Romney is downright frightening. You may think it's all a-ok because you didn't want Dr. Paul to win, but it fortells a dangerous precedence. These aren't harmless shenanigans; they are undermining the involvement of American citizens right to vote for who they want. It's a slippery slope towards dictatorship.

what are you going to do when next week is over and Paul is no longer even an issue. Will you keep telling us, how bad the RNC is and how Paul will still find a way to win? Or will you finally realize he did not get the nomination..I would think Santorum's turning his delegates over would be enough for you to accept what was obvious to the majority of Republicans months ago...
