Romney's nomination, until he releases his tax returns there?
I mean, your votes have been suppressed and your delegates have been DQ'd, often for stupid, small reasons, by your own party, why not disrupt the convention and refuse to "crown the king" until he releases them?
Unless you really hate Obama that much, that you'll just let Romney get the nod in spite of the way your party has treated you and your candidate this year?
Clinton supporters, in 2008, where treated like Queens, compared to the way Paul supporters have been treated by the GOP in 2012.
I'm not a big Ron Paul fan, but, if he actually does this and for some reason, even if he's 80, runs in 2016, I may just campaign for him.
Ron Paul supporters, prefered for responses please.

I'm going as a Romney delegate. I have no intention of voting for Romney in Tampa.
No one wanted to be a Romney Delegate at the state convention. The one they have yet to announce a delegate count from. Ted Cruz, says it all.... where I come from.

Is Ted Cruz running for the Presidency?
I fail to see any connection with Cruz and either Romney or Paul. The last I heard, Cruz stabbed Paul in the back.

............
The messages of ending pre-emptive wars, sound monetary system, and individual liberty through small Constitutional federal government are more important to voice at the Convention than getting into a p-match about Romney's tax returns.

If anything was done to "hold up the Convention" is should be about the stealing of the primary votes from polling places and all the cr*p that went on to harm Ron Paul's campaign by the GOP powers that be.

Both Ron & Rand Paul gave Cruz their endorsement long before Cruz refused to endorse Ron Paul.

.

Since this went on, well, even if it means bringing up the tax returns to derail Romney, to give Paul his rightful share of delegates, is that a bad thing?

The great big State of Texas, banjo.

Cruz did endorse Ron Paul, on the Texas State Capitol steps, during the tea party rally right before the Primary straw poll./\

Is that good for the country? Will that give Paul the nomination?

Or are you really for giving Obama a leg up any way you possibly can? I'm sure he'd appreciate it. He needs the help.

What's wrong with a party holding it's nominee responsible?
If this was Obama, in 2008, doing this, you can bet the Clinton's would have done the same thing.
Seeing how Romney is even more hated (per one poll) than Palin is, well, yes, it's good for the country.

Us Ron Paul supporters weren't all about him just getting the nomination anyway. It's about more than that. Not just which politician gets a term. Honestly, it will take more than four years to straighten out everything, even if Paul were elected. He was the best shot the country had to get back on the right track. Oh well. I will always be supporting Ron Paul though.

And, what would basically smearing Romney at the convention do? Uh, yeah, nothing.
