Some compare GOP corruption and lawlessness to Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany.

TAMPA, Florida (PNN) – August 28, 2012 - Ron Paul supporters at the Republican National Convention erupted in fury Tuesday over decisions that weakened their delegate count and other rule changes that will make it harder for non-establishment candidates in future elections.

Several members of the Maine delegation walked out of the Tampa Bay Times Forum after the convention affirmed the GOP’s decision to replace 10 of Maine’s 24 delegates.

“It’s a disgusting, disgusting display of a hostile takeover from the top down,” said Ashley Ryan, 21, a Maine delegate. “It’s an embarrassment.”

Paul, known widely as The Patriot Congressman for his stand for constitutional Rule of Law and individual liberty, did not win a single state, but his ardent followers worked party rules designed to make the choice for nominee as democratic a process as possible to take over several state delegations, including garnering 20 of Maine’s 24 spots. The RNC - in a lawless act of corruption - decided to replace 10 of them, effectively stopping the state from being able to submit Paul’s name for nomination.

In response, the state’s Republican governor, a Romney supporter, decided to boycott the convention.

Although Mitt Romney easily has the delegate support to take the nomination in one ballot, avoiding a floor fight allows the GOP to falsely present a unified front.

But the unlawful decision to not seat the original Maine delegation, and the corrupt approval of rules that will make it harder for grassroots fueled candidates in the future, caused an uproar in the handful of state delegations dominated by Paul supporters, as well as some others that are concerned about the GOP centralizing power in the hands of a few and taking it away from the states.

Wiselot Rouzard, a delegate from Nevada and a Paul supporter, compared the situation to Adolf Hitler taking power in Germany.

“There’s nothing Amerikan about what just happened,” said Rouzard. “This is the death of the Republican Party.”

As the roll call of states commenced, several states listed votes for both Romney and Paul. In an example of corruption at its most obvious, when repeating back the count those at the podium cited only the Romney votes.
