RNC confirms Ron Paul will be up for nomination!
But RNC also says it can ignore its own rules and lie and misrepresent itself in order to deny Paul the nomination.
WASHINGTON (PNN) - July 17, 2012 - The Republican National Convention is quickly approaching (August 26th). For over the past year, avid supporters of Rep. Ron Paul - known widely as The Patriot Congressman for his rigid stance on constitutional limitations and the Rule of Law - have won delegate spots in various state conventions across the country. Through this hard work, Ron Paul will officially be allowed to be nominated as the Republican nominee for president.
In order for a candidate to be elected for the Republican Party nomination, the candidate must have a plurality in five or more states. If by rule, binding and non-binding policies are applied to delegates, it would still not affect the process of voting for placement of a candidate's name into the potential nominee ballot. Presidential hopeful Ron Paul does have a plurality in five or more states (Nevada, Maine, Minnesota, Louisiana, and Iowa). This means that Ron Paul will be eligible for nomination on August 26th in Tampa Bay.
The Ron Paul Revolution is planning on attracting 100,000+ supporters to Tampa in order to celebrate Paul's more than 30-year career in Amerikan politics. However, the Republican National Committee senses pressure from the Paul supporters. The RNC has attempted to block access in order to make the convention as exclusive as possible.
The RNC Rules Committee has indicated that since they are a private organization they are not subject to following their rules or official statements. In other words, the Republican National Committee has suggested they have no compunction about lying and misrepresenting in order to prevent candidate Ron Paul from achieving political success.
Makes you proud to call yourself a Republican, doesn’t it?
