Ron Paul’s GOP Battle Reveals Some Truths About Political Parties by Ryan McMaken
When things didn’t go the way the pro-Romney leadership wanted them to go, they simply created a new GOP to replace the old one. That’s what happened in Nevada when Ron Paul supporters managed to gain control of the state’s Republican Party apparatus at the state convention. In response, the pro-Romney and establishment Republican forces broke off and formed Team Nevada which is essentially a shadow Republican party. In addition, by pledging support to Romney, Team Nevada is receiving funding from the Republican National Committee. If all goes as planned on the Romney side, Team Nevada will provide Nevada’s delegates to the Republican National Convention. The duly-elected Ron Paul delegates, who were elected through state and local conventions in Nevada, will be barred from the convention floor.
The many ways in which the old guard of the Republican party has repeatedly sought to disenfranchise Ron Paul voters and delegates are too numerous to count. Some cases have been noted by Doug Wead and by others with anti-Paul strategies ranging from smearing Paul supporters with carefully edited videos to having Paul supporters arrested for no reason.
People unfamiliar with how parties have functioned historically, may be shocked by such things, but these actions are really just more of the same from the GOP and from American political parties in general.

Dr. Paul is taking all of us for a ride! For the liberty movement, it will be a great ride!
Why all the media-hype today about Dr. Paul "admitting himself" that he will not be the nominee?
Do they doubt what they have been spreading for the last 1 year: That Romney "will" be the nominee?
Why is the RNC still fighting the Ron Paul delegates in every state?
Why is the Ron Paul fest being blocked?
Why waste all the time and resources trying to derail a train that you are convinced will never make it first to the station?
