The RNC’s rule change effectively disenfranchised Republicans supporting anyone other than the Establishment’s man and left 10 of Maine’s 24 delegates locked out of the process, preventing them from casting votes for Ron Paul.
Railroaded and rejected, the unseated Maine delegates walked out of the Tampa Bay Times Forum, leaving the convention in the hands of the predetermined winner and his proxies.
“It’s a disgusting, disgusting display of a hostile takeover from the top down,” said Maine delegate Ashley Ryan, according to an article in the Los Angeles Times. “It’s an embarrassment,” she’s quoted as saying.
Maine wasn’t alone in expressing its displeasure and disgust at the RNC’s pro-Romney rule manipulation.
All Republicans should boycott the November elections, and hand the White House and Congress firmly to the Democrats. This will send a message to the self-declared Fuhrers in the GOP that we the Republican voters refuse to accept or support candidates not of our own choosing. Either the Republican party learns respect for Republican voters, or it should vanish and make way for a new party more responsive to the people. This is, as far as I can tell, the only non-violent option we have left.

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
