Regrettably, those alleged supporters of Ron Paul chose their own personal interests over those of the people who voted to make them delegates in the first place. It's nothing less than a betrayal; and it's what has come to be the modus operandi of nearly everyone contesting in the establishment's political arena. This demonstrates, again, that the sorry state of affairs that has overwhelmed the American people has arisen out of a woeful lack of principled behavior. And, of course, that lack of principled behavior is caused by a lack of principles. Jefferson observed that a people cannot simultaneously be ignorant and free; accordingly, the less well-informed the people of America become, the less freedom we have. Jefferson also observed that people get the government that they deserve, If the Nevada voters who sent those turncoats to the Republican convention don't act locally to hold them accountable, then they have no reason to change their repugnant behavior.
Hoping to change either of the two "official" parties is folly. As long as the plutocrats can control party operatives and the Federal Election Commission, this system posing as a democratic process will only get worse. Here's their message to America: "Shut up and pay your taxes!"
