The delay tactic Alex described didn’t surprise me a bit. The RNC used similar at the Convention where was supposed to speak. To my knowledge he never got to speak.
Several times I witnessed as the tv broadcast was interrupted by “technical difficulties” when he spoke regarding COMEX irregularities.
Ron Paul had integrity. I miss the days of being able to unhesitatingly endorse a candidate.
[snip] from Opinion: The RNC Must Allow Ron Paul To Speak At The Convention – CBS San Francisco (cbsnews.com)
… Ron Paul has stated in the recent past that he believes Mitt Romney doesn’t want him to speak at the Republican Convention because Romney fears that Paul will promote his own agenda rather than exemplify unity for Romney on the Republican ticket. Paul told Fox Business: “I think the Romney campaign organization is very insecure.”
Dr. Ron Paul is absolutely right. Anyone who doesn’t believe Ron Paul humbles the strongest politicians around isn’t paying attention to the power of this man. He has an extremely huge following of devoted followers, and much of what he envisions for a better America makes very good sense. His desire for a smaller government – which has been his major issue and likely the most popular distinction between himself and any other candidate – is an issue to be reckoned with by any candidate. His unique foreign affairs’ proposals are worth strong consideration by the Republican Party as well.
Anyone in the RNC – including the presumptive Republican presidential candidate, Mitt Romney – who believes Ron Paul should not speak to the Republican Party at the Convention, is wrong.
Ron Paul’s beliefs must be heard, contemplated, and accepted for sincere consideration in the Republican Party’s platform of 2012. Paul not only speaks to many people but also for many people. Regardless of what one thinks of him and his politics within the Republican Party, he is a force to be reckoned with in 2012 as he has been in the past.
Disallowing Paul to have his say at the Convention will lose many more Republicans who are trying to get President Obama out of the White House than it would gain. But again, politics aside, Dr. Ron Paul has earned his right to speak – regardless of the rules.
