According to the Houston Chronicle Paul won't get speaking slot at GOP confab [1] (By Stewart M. Powell July 16 2012)
Insulting Paul’s supporters, a highly-motivated and substantial segment of potential GOP voters, is of course crazy as we have said before [2]: even a Talking Head house-broken enough to be allowed on the MSM has dared to say it too:
Mitt Romney's campaign needs the backing of Ron Paul's fervent supporters if he wants to have a chance of beating President Barack Obama, prominent conservative thinker Max Pappas told Sean Hannity on his Fox News show…
Pappas made a point that hasn't been voiced very often in mainstream media discussions of the Mitt Romney veepstakes: and that is that the backing of Ron Paul's supporters will be critical to Romney's re-election campaign

What this demonstrates of course is that the Neocons [4] are in complete control: given Paul’s (futile) degeneration [5] on immigration the only outstanding of serious contention is foreign policy. As the CBS debate atrocity [6] demonstrated, their totalitarian tradition [7] has triumphed and no dissidence or alternative opinion is to be allowed [8].
What this also demonstrates is that the Romneycans really are stupid [9]. As with wimping out [10] on Obama’s Administrative Amnesty, they seem to be sublimely happy to outrage key support elements.
Apparently they cannot comprehend that winning [11] elections needs votes [12] – not just money. [13]
