The answer is, the numbers of these people are insignificant.
Then why steal the delegates? The fact is, and everybody knows it, Mitt Romney is the nominee. He's going to be the nominee. He's going to be the nominee whether Ron Paul had the delegations from five states or not. So why steal his delegates? Because it would have been an embarrassment to the GOP and to the Romney campaign to have even a hint of a challenge at the convention. If the process doesn't work out in their favor then they'll just ignore the process and do whatever they want regardless. That's the nature of this political system, and it should be pointed out that the Democrats would do the exact same thing.
But don't call us "whiners" just because we don't go silently into the night, or if we have no desire to support the people who cheat us. Get real.
Why is the concept of "possession of delegates" so bloody important to you people?
The delegates are useless to Paul.
"Stolen"...Please....
Now on to something important.
If it's so unimportant then why did they steal them? Ron Paul supporters earned their position as delegates, and it was taken from them. You say it's unimportant regardless, but why the trouble of taking them then?
