Fascinating Find

The following is from a "General Push Card" for the Republican Party of Texas:http://www.texasgop.org/site/DocServer/General_Push_CardF.pdf?docID=1501

"The Republican Party of Texas

The Republican philosophy is a true reflection of traditional Texas values. It is these values – core Republican principles – that will sustain Texas into the future and continue to make our State strong, prosperous and proud.
We support… • Limited Government
A government that promotes policies to unlock individual potential and unleash economic growth. Government that does not try to be all things to all people.

• Personal Responsibility
Individuals taking personal responsibility for their own actions and a criminal justice system based on this idea. With freedom comes responsibility." 

What I find most fascinating about these statements is the dramatic steps that are being taken to put up road blocks to the Ron Paul supporters who have been involved since the primary.

Here are some links to give you an idea what is going on down here:

As you can see from the link above, the "chairpersons" in some of the counties with large populations are playing fast and loose with the rules for adding names to the delegate / alternate lists for the State Convention next week.

The Republican Party of Texas is also resisting requests by RP supporters that the Convention Chairperson be elected before the convention gets started. In years past, this process has taken place on the 2nd day of the convention.

Perhaps this is just another example of politicians saying one thing and doing another. Reminds me of what C.S. Lewis wrote in The Abolition of Man, "We scoff at honor, and wonder why there are thieves among us."

I for one no longer wonder why there are so many thieves among us.
I know why, I am working on the "how do we turn things around?"
