Before you click play, just LOOK at those faces in the thumbnail below!
This video explains all the backflips that the GOP has been doing to keep Paul delegates as far away from the convention as possible. It appears they're fucking petrified of him, I can only assume they were fearful that Paul might try to wrestle control of the VP slot.
And here is the footage of the Maine delegates actually getting kicked out of the convention, something the above video mentioned would happen.
I hope this issue sticks in Romney's side for the next two months, driving down Romney's likability even more and negatively impacting conservative turnout. The second video is pretty clear about how many of its own rules the RNC broke to strip keep Paul delegates of any kind of impact.
Although this is directly related to Ron Paul, it's apparently not sitting well with run of the mill conservatives. The RNC literally changed their rules at the last second to keep a specific candidate from being able to have their name entered in, in nomination for vice president. They're calling it #RNCpowergrab and it deligitimized Romney even more among the conservative base.
And that's so delicious it should be fattening.

Well my Ron Paul friends from the Great State of Maine: Welcome to the Repuglican National Convention. Where -- as you have just discovered --fairness, lawfulness and legality have no bearing on reality. The Rmoney National Convention brought to you by the Rmoney National Party does not give a damn what is fair, what is lawful, nor what you think.
And unfortunately, sometimes trite cliches actually do bear meaning, like this one: Lay down with dogs and your gonna get fleas. You tried to play the game with liars, cheats and thieves. Unfortunately, you are the victims now.
