Insofar as the WVGOP is preening after this convention, let me advise you that you have not grown the party at all. Furthermore, you will see that many current Republicans will be gone either tomorrow or by November.

Congratulations on your success in denial. Soon you will see what you have wrought.

My biggest problem with the system was the method of selection of delegates. Some people who were Democrats changed their registration to Republican in order to file as delegates for Ron Paul. Then there was the sleezy tactics that Gary Abernathy used to ensure Mitt Romney’s defeat by asking McCain delegates to vote for Rev Mike.

We need to establish some protections against people or candidates hijacking our convention like the Ron Paul and John McCain folks did. If this had been a normal primary, Mitt Romney would have won comfortably. Better yet, toss the convention idea into the trashbin and move our normal primary up to Super Tuesday.

FWIW, I liked a lot of what Ron Paul said, but like most of the audience I quit paying attention when he advocated surrender. I, like most veterans, would much prefer to kill our enemies over there rather than over here. We also cannot be isolationists. I have no problem with FAIR trade (which is not what NAFTA and GATT do).

Take care & God Bless,

Tommy

I didn’t say the Paul people received three delegate seats, but they most certainly were PROMISED them by the McCain camp. If anyone should be upset, it is they, even more than the Romney folk. They were snookered. Politics as usual.

As for the poster (38) who calls McCain pro-abortion, you need a history lesson. He’s been consistently pro-life. Even if you disagree with certain other of his positions - and I do, despite voting for him in the first round - he’s been “conservative” in that area.

Being a Republican in West Virginia doesn’t get you much, but now it gets you even less. You don’t even get to vote in a primary for the Presidential Candidate of your choice. I suppose the Republican Party in West Virginia belongs to people that can afford to take time off from work, leave their families to travel and attend a boondoggle in Charleston. Apparently the West Virginia Republicans don’t want my vote in a primary for the Presidential Nominee, so I suppose they won’t mind if they don’t get it in the other elections as well. As soon as I can get to the Courthouse I will become an Independent.
