Interesting development regarding the RNC rules.

Ron Paul would win the popular vote over Romney in my opinion, now it looks like he may have a chance with the delegate system.

opinions like this seriously invalidate your opinion.

The common man with half a clue is fed up and wants a big change in how things are done. The uneducated masses that get spoon fed from fox news are surely brainwashed by Romney. The numbers of people showing up at Ron Paul events is often way more than at Romney shindigs. Both Romney and Obama just offer more of the same crap and I think that finally people are pissed off enough to vote for major change. Sadly, it doesn't matter, we go through this silly delegate system and then the electoral college scam.

I would personally welcome a move to the popular vote. No rules to have lawyers argue over, no bs, just a simple popular vote.

You're advocating for a straight up popular vote, but egging on Paul's backdoor delegate gambit.
How... aside from pleading 'necessity and ignorance of the masses'... do you justify that?

Just showing a link to the latest developments. Just because it's not what I would choose, this is the current system. Within this system, it looks like delegates might be unbound and free to vote for who they want.

I refer you to Mr. Madison's brilliant argument against the same.

I think any poll you see will directly contradict this.

Ron Paul supporters crack me up, everyone else is a sheep except them, but they never stop to think that maybe Ron Paul's ideas would actually sink the US and maybe people do not want to actually destroy their own country because they are unhappy with the current political climate. But oh yeah, 'the country is already being destroyed' quips the Paul support, but is it, is it really or would Paul truly fuck things up?

Everybody has an opinion. I respect that the posters so far in this thread have a different opinion. Everyone should have a say and a vote.

I personally would like to see a return to the constitution and the power and rights returned to the people. A government by the people and for the people where everyone's vote actually counts.

But... The US Constitution created a republic rather than a pure democracy.
