over the roll call, and the refusing to acknowledge the Paul delegates. They're all saying the GOP has just lost the election, many just decided to vote third party. This is turning into an unMITTigated disaster for the GOP.

1. Where do you live? In a swing state?

2. Fabulous, absolutely fabulous.

I would hate to be an Eisenhower Republican, let alone a Ron Paul supporter. What a way to unite your party.

3. Florida!

The republicans I know are all over facebook, and they are FURIOUS. Even if they weren't Paul supporters, they think this insult of the Paul delegates is a bad idea.

4. It was a really stupid move by the GOP.

It's ticked off a lot of their voters for no good reason.

5. Who do these people hate more

Obama or Romney. Romney is betting these people hate Obama more then they hate him, he is counting their votes. Why he can dis them as he did.

6. Oh, they hate Obama.

He won't pick up any votes from them. But even the Romney supporters recognize they need the Paulbot's votes, and boots on the ground. They are pissed Romney is needlessly pissing them off.

11. he may pick up votes indirectly

Some of those Paulites WILL vote libertarian, or just sit it out all together. The GOP really underestimates the dislike of Romney within the party. The Paulites and assorted others DO have another party to turn to when the RINOs piss them off. I don't think counting on hatred for Obama is a great idea for the GOP.

13. Yep.

For no good reason is right!

7. They should have let Paul speak - give him his 15 minutes and forget him /nt

[HooptieWagon]

8. They at least should recognize his delegates.

Deliberately ignoring them just pisses them off for no good reason. I don't see many Paul supporters voting for Romney now.

9. They banished them to the nosebleed seats.. FAR from

the network cameras. They moved American Samoa front & center

lololol

[Brother Buzz]

10. Ron Paul turned down a conditional invitation to speak

RNC wanted to vet his speech AND have him fully endorse Romney. Principled nut, Paul, was forced to declined.

12. Let's encourage this next time you talk to an unhappy wing nut say..

dude I totally agree with you, you should consider voting for Gary Johnson!!

[HooptieWagon]

14. IVe mentioned him a few times.

People I know won't vote for Obama, but are reluctant to vote for Romney. Of course, if they mention not voting, I leave them be... they're not voting down-ticket.

15. Update - local reactions.

The republicans are bombing. My republican friends are all moderates, no teabaggers. In the fb chatter going around, every single one of them is totally appalled at the arrogance, lies, and racism on display at the RNC.
