In reply to the discussion: Well, Republicans can kiss any hope of support from Ron Paul supporters goodbye [View all]Major Hogwash
(17,656 posts)23. They kicked the Iowa delegation of Paul supporters off of the convention floor.
But, it wasn't shown on tv.
The Virginia delegates for Paul were also hustled out of the convention center when they disagreed with not being allowed to show their support for Paul.
The Texas delegation had some Paul supporters who were shouting "Paul" from the convention floor, but they were soon met with sharp stares of disapproval by the Romney supporters in the Texas delegation until they quit.
Not a good sign to throw duly elected delegates out of their own convention.
The rules that were changed said that only votes for Romney would be counted publicly at the convention, so the votes for Paul from delegates who traveled clear to Tampa were never counted and his delegates were silenced.
The Republican party is in its last throes.

Otherwise, they would have voted for Romney with a neocon for a war policy adviser ...
