GOP Chairman, Tom Kuypers, admits he rigged Congressional Convention to exclude properly elected delegates.
When a group of people who had supported Ron Paul in the primaries elected the caucus chairman and elected a slate of delegates to the congressional and state conventions Tom Kuypers states “I went ballistic!”
He states that on the day of the 2nd congressional convention, he “had them thrown out” and further states “If folks out there want to blame somebody for doing so they can blame me.”
He filed the complaint and sat on the credentials committee that determined the validity of his complaint.
Challenged delegates made several attempts prior to the convention to discover the nature of their challenges, but the MO GOP refused to provide them this information.
On the day of the convention challenged delegates were placed behind a barricade and not permitted to defend against my Kuypers’ allegations or provide contrary evidence. Parliamentary appeals were not heard.
Duly elected delegates were not seated due to the actions of this man, the 2nd Congressional District Chairman, and the Missouri GOP.
I don't think refusing to seat people

Ron Paul is a joke. Fortunately he wasn’t able to hurt the GOP in any significant way and hopefully his supporters will be embittered enough by this experience to stay in their basements.
“A man does what he can and endures what he must.”
I was interested until I got to the "Ron Paul" part

Good for Tom. We should find a place for

Given that RonPaul™ excluded himself from the convention and refused to support the nominee, I have a hard time understanding the problem you seem to have.
I would hope that the Party Caucus would refuse to seat him and strip him of his committee assignments in favor of a Representative who might actually accomplish something.

Boo hoo hoo

profg Thursday, November 20th at 6:36PM EST (link)SHAME on the RedStaters who are making these asinine comments about what is obviously an immoral, if not illegal, action on the part of this hack.
Put yourself in the shoes of the duly-elected delegates. Imagine if some hack didn’t like YOUR choice for nominee, so he made sure YOU didn’t get seated at the convention.
You KNOW it was wrong. Shame on you for applauding it. SHAME.
