Ron Paul Delegates Advocate Civil Disobedience

Hardcore RP delegates to the Republican national convention hope to convince enough McCain delegates to abstain on the first ballot to deny the fascist neocon the nomination, with the hope of eventually nominating Ron. They rightly point out that, as St. Thomas Aquinas said, an unjust law is no law at all, so anyone with a conscience is not required to vote for McCain, no matter what their state government says; indeed, just the opposite.

Of course, the hardcores have absolutely no chance, since anyone the party chooses to be a McCain delegate is evil. Still, the RP guys and gals have worked their hearts out for many months, and spent lots of money they can't afford. Even though they are doomed to defeat, who can tell them not to do what they believe to be right?

Here is my only advice: the St. Paul convention, like the Denver one, is a key State-legitimizing event, with much of the power elite in attendance. They are funded by the taxpayers, and by the military-industrial-petro complex, in arrogant display. Since 9/11 especially, the conventions are totalitarian regimes in miniature (and examples of what they'd like the whole of America to look like). Their jackbooted thugs will not hesitate to gas you, tazer you, beat you into a bloody pulp, and then put you into one of their animal cages for years. Do not do anything that gives them even the slightest excuse.

UPDATE from Tim Swanson: "To add insult to injury, the $100 million security detail for both conventions is also being funded by taxpayers. Why not just hold the conventions on military bases?"

I'm with the RON PAUL advocates. John McCain has to be stopped at all costs to save America's legacy and prevent the TOTAL COLLAPSE OF CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY for the UNITED STATES. We cannot let the NEO-CONS win!!!!!!!!!!! - Doug B.
