The GOP cheated today: Romney's nomination was against the party's own rules | |

That should have done the trick: Rules require signatures from just five states. But the party changed the rules on the spot. Henceforth, delegates must gather petitions from eight states. That is CHEATING. Rules for conventions are set prior to the convention. That's the way they've always done it to avoid "cheating" at the next convention. Example, rules made in 2008 were for the 2012 convention. Today's rules would apply to the 2012 convention. This is the way it works. However, today, Paul people followed the rules. They had their minimum of 5 states required to nominate from the floor. The GOP changed the rules midstream to require an 8 state minium. THAT IS CHEATING. ROMNEY'S NOMINATION IS BASED ON CHEATING. They knew Paul could take it so they cheated. Just like that. On tv. In everyone's faces. All to nominate Romney so he can lose for Obama. All rigged. I am disgusted. I will never, ever cast a vote for the GOP again. This should be a national embarrassment. Republicans all over should be appalled. We can pin the news that Romney is the nominee. How about pinning how he CHEATED to be the nominee? I concur. Absolute BS. Ban guns to "save the children" but killing them in the womb is totally cool......I see; it makes perfect sense now. |

I meant should apply to the 2016 convention. Every convention they do the rules for the next convention. That's to assure being fair and everyone knowing the rules upfront. You don't change them during the convention to block out people. That's the purpose behind the way the rules are set up. They openly broke their own rule. A major one. |

It is a disgrace to Americans everywhere from any time period past, future and definitely present. I'm switching party affiliation tomorrow. Never voting again for a party that lies, cheats, steals, and when they finally don't get their way, to change the rules and cheat and still go forward with their power grab. Total bullshit. Libertarian Party here I come. |

GoldenRuled User ID: 22587882 United States 08/28/2012 09:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Of course they did. The people in power will sacrifice every last option available, us, the military, foreign troops, MSM, guns, WMD's or anything els they can get their grubby little paws on to keep their self-appointed superior status. As far as I'm concerned, they don't represent anyone but people with money bribing every morally bankrupt sellout they can get. I would suggest restarting the repub party for those that think there is hope. At least you know who to lock up for trespassing when they come around. For the realists, a house divided cannot stand.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17922672 why doesn't romney do the honorable thing and back off? why did romney decide to cheat? why should someone who plays by the book, by the rules the party set out for all, then have to be CHEATED for doing so? why aren't republicans speaking out about this cheating and demanding romney run third party? |

I assume Romney must be legally allowed to do what he has done, if not, then a "party action suit" needs to be filed. Not sure who would rep all. If it is illegal, or even just underhanded, sure tells alot of what you could expect if he was your next prez. |
