Ron Paul supporters sweep available delegate seats

Republicans who support Texas congressman Ron Paul for president won all three available national convention seats from Missouri’s 5th congressional district today.

The delegates, who will attend the GOP convention in Minneapolis this September, are still expected to vote for Sen. John McCain on the first ballot, unless party rules change.

But they say they hope to force the Republican Party to more closely reflect Paul’s libertarian views.

“I’m more than a full-time volunteer to this revolution of information and ideas and freedom,” said Catherine Bleish, one of the three delegates chosen at the district convention in Lee’s Summit. “We hope to fundamentally change the platform of the Republican Party.”

Her election — and that of fellow Paul supporters Larry Holland and Gregory Pals — came after a compromise with party leaders in Jackson County, which makes up most of the 5th district.

Under the compromise, potential Paul delegates agreed to sign a pledge to follow party rules, including the current rule binding them to the winner of Missouri’s presidential primary — McCain.

In exchange, GOP regulars agreed to drop potential challenges of Paul delegates, who were picked at a tumultuous Jackson County meeting in March.

Now how in the world do they think they are going to fundamentally change the platform of the Republican party? '9/11 Was an Inside Job' isn't really a very good platform. LOL

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Ron Paul is right about half the time. He's not owned.

But I much prefer Obama.
