<p>The truth is; Romney has the media misrepresenting him on just about everything he says. And now that McCain and Huckabee has shown that they are in fact teaming together to keep Romney out of the race, it’s quite clear what will happen.</p>
<p>Romney would have won W. Virginia except McCain contacted his delegates and instructed them to pledge his delegates to Huckabee. Thus putting him over 50% and thus getting the win and the delegates. Romney had 47% on his own. Huckabee was down by 10-13%. McCain didn’t campaign there and knew he wouldn’t win it. But, by giving his delegates to Huckabee, he ensures that Romney can’t win those delegates.</p>
<p>If McCain does this crap any more, the Republican party won’t continue to support him. He lost a lost of respect among many voters today.</p>
<p>They’re ALL slimeballs. McCain plays the Vietnam card, Giuliani plays the 9/11 card, I don’t know what card Huckabee plays, but they’re all unqualified to run for president. I guess that’s why we elect them. Let’s go back to the parliamentary system where prime ministers, not presidents, are elected and the royalty (king or queen) actually has the power to FIRE said prime minister.</p>
<p>Why is it slimy? The delegates determined that Huckabee was the best candidate who could win. Folks make that kind of determination all time.</p>
<p>Now if you object to the 100-year-war, that’s one thing, but as to how politics is conducted in West Virginia? Why don’t you ask what happened to Ron Paul’s delegates? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Ron Paul’s delegates wouldn’t stoop so low as to artificially prop up a candidate to prevent another candidate they didn’t like from winning. There might be some who would do that, but most wouldn’t, because they’d know that Ron Paul would never approve of such tactics, and they value his integrity.</p>
<p>And this is not mere ‘politics’ but playing dirty. ‘Politics’ would be everyone voting for the candidate of their choice, and the winner wins cleanly, not by skewing the results with such trickery.</p>
<p>No, not really. It’s easy to ascertain his level of integrity by simply looking at his consistent voting record, as well as other easy-to-validate facts such as his refusing the Congressional pension and refusing to accept donations from any corporation, labor union or national bank.</p>
