Massachusetts Paul delegates voted for McCain??

[Orgoonian]

Since when do we trust the media to tell the whole truth?
I will wait to see what the NV.delegates have to say before judging.
After all the work,money,and time they put in,i really doubt they rolled over for some Rage tickets

Lets say it was true that they had the choice to vote either McWar,or abstain.
Two choices,two different results.
1.I abstain.Great,you were going to lose anyways,and you walk away with nothing.
2.I will vote McWar.Yuck,that tasted horrible,but i have made inroads,that may pay off in the future.

We can't win THEIR game,playing by our rules.Once we have sufficient numbers "inside"then WE make the rules.

Mass delegates and how they voted. Dont know which ones were Paul supporters originally because they stabbed us in the back and went mccain

Whatever Mass. and Nevada agreed to in order for the GOP to get this vote wasn't worth it. They would have had to take my life in order to get my vote. Man, I wish I could have been a delegate.

Yeh, that'll happen

Once they got the vote they wanted, they didn't give two tits about the Ron Paul delegates.

Good job on the inroads.

I would very much like to get some more information about what happened with certain delegations, Nevada and Utah come to mind. If we could get info from the delegates themselves, that would be great. Until we do, it's all just speculation.

Anyway, props to all the states that casted votes for Dr. Paul. Alaska, Oregon, Washington and West Virginia actually did (IIRC), and I'm sure a lot of the "missing" votes from other states were his, too. States like Maine, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Idaho and so on. And let's not forget that there were Paul supporters who were obligated to cast their votes for McCain at the convention. We all appreciate your efforts.

These delegates voted for the guy who was already going to win--costing us nothing. And likely, they got alot of goodwill from the gesture and possibly recieved promises of support for certain campaigns (for State Rep. or mayor SmallTown, MA). This is how politics works, and you'd better believe that Ron Paul plays it...

Yeah, you're probably right, but what about Nevada, then? That situation has been FUBAR for quite some time and how can anyone trust "the establishment" to honor any commitments or show goodwill when you consider what they pulled there? Mind you, there could be something I don't know about, but from what I've been told, the GOP establishment in Nevada is a bunch of /!#(=)&!#()& who went out of their way to bend/break the rules and stifle dissent.

Goodwill and 50 cents buys you a newspaper.

That was a stupid thing to do.

Maybe they weren't Ron Paul supporters.

If there were any real concessions or genuine offers of support made, then I can kinda understand it. I wasn't there and therefore I really can't say all that much about it, but I sure am curious. Personally, I don't really trust party bigwigs...
