I've been told several times that the Ron Paul supporters are cult members.
Yet it is typical of cults to require an oath of allegiance. And when these delegates in Massachusetts refused to sign such, they were ousted. Reminds me of our county convention when the big government people passed a rule forcing all delegates to declare in their speeches whether they would support the eventual nominee. Gave me a creepy, cult feeling. In my district, none of the Ron Paul delegates, including me, would say such. We declared that principles were more important than party. Which of course, cost us winning delegate slots.
So we see how the process really works. The big government nominee is selected in advance by the party central committees, and then they tell the media who to support and ignore. They then do elections, caucuses and conventions to give people the illusion they have a choice.
Should the "wrong" people (smaller government types) actually win something, they'll bring in the cops, or close down the meetings, or implement obscure rules to oust them.
And then we send troops to rid the world of tyranny and give people free elections.
What a joke.
