Romney, Paul speak at GOP convention

By Sun Staff · April 26, 2008 · 4:22 PM

The Associated Press reports that Nevada Republicans cheered Saturday as former presidential hopeful Mitt Romney urged support for John McCain — but Ron Paul got even louder applause at the state GOP convention as he delivered his message of individual freedom and fiscal responsibility.

    RON PAUL RIGHTFUL REPUBLICAN NOMINEE OF NEVADA!

    The Nevada state Republican committee had made a pre-approved list of national delegates. The Ron Paul delegates changed the rules on the floor to allow the state delegates to elect the national delegates(the way it would be in a fair vote).

    When the vote counting was almost complete, the state committee saw Ron Paul was going to win, so they stopped the vote count and the Convention Chairman Bob Beers abruptly recessed the meeting and left the building with all the committee chairs and McCain supporters in order so the Convention would not have a quorum.

    This is fraud and is NOT A REPRESENTATIVE VOTE! The Caucus Process is being used to deny the people of Nevada a fair vote. The Caucus process must be done away with and replaced by a primary with paper ballots, anything less and all faith in the electoral process is lost.
