perjury ?
betraying the will of the people you represent is treason
what a joke of a campaign, I mean you all should be embarrased
Can't wait to see the look on Romney's face when he loses at the convention.
Even better, I can't wait to see the look on Obama's face when he has to go one on one with Ron Paul in a debate.edit on 30-5-2012 by TheCelestialHuman because: (no reason given)

When I saw this thread earlier ( www.abovetopsecret.com... ) I knew there had to be more to it than what was being revealed. Ron Paul is still in this race, and I am sure he will not go down as easy as the GOP would hope at the convention.

Sorry but he hasn't won anything. The delegates are given out at the convention not before.
How many times do people have to be told this? Whatever happened to "Deny ignorance"?
And it seems like you are getting your information from Paul supporters who make up their own rules.
sue CNN for misleading the public, maybe a class action lawsuit? He's the "presumed nominee" until the convention, NOT the actual nominee.
Ron Paul supporters actually think they can defy the will of the majority of the people who voted in the primaries?

Wow, you have to see this to believe it. Ron Paul supporters actually think they can defy the will of the majority of the people who voted in the primaries? ...and simply force their candidate on them? The people who would be Dictators

As much as I hate to admit, if this were completely reversed, everyone would be in an uproar.
That is, if Ron Paul was winning all of the caucuses in every state like Romney has been, but yet there was this business of delegates voting instead for Romney, Ron Paul supporters would be in a screaming fit.
I am a Ron Paul supporter. I have to admit that if the scenario were reversed, I would have a huge problem with it. But since I support Paul, I am hoping he wins at the Convention. I think he stands a real chance of beating Obama in debates. Romney doesn't. Romney is a tool with lots of money and is a horrible choice for President. If my choices are Romney or Obama, I'm voting for Obama. At that point, a vote for Paul would be wasted.
Think of a scale. One side represents Obama, the other Romney. I can either place a stone on Obama's side, on Romney's side, or throw the stone into the river. Well, I don't want Romney winning, so I'd better add weight to the other side. Throwing my stone into the river isn't going to help... as sad as it is...
