This is the kind of thing I DON'T agree with. Ron Paul supporters are conservatives. They are Republicans. They are active politically. Why don't we want them in our party? Isn't our party for all Florida Republicans--or is it just for those the party leadership approves of?  

Read on:

Jim Greer, Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF), has been rolling up the welcome mat for Ron Paul supporters. RPOF has been working overtime to exclude and purge Paulistas from the party. Many county Republican Executive Committees (REC) are breaking and changing rules to specifically target Ron Paul grassroots. In telephone conference calls and board meetings the RPOF openly talks about the Ron Paul problem. According to the party line, this is necessary so that Florida would not become another "Nevada", where the Paulistas embarrassed the entrenched hierarchy. This seems to be a sham. RPOF's rules are tougher than most states. Another "Nevada" is impossible in Florida. First of all, in Nevada Paul beat McCain so it is only expected that he should receive the majority of delegates there. In Florida Paul received 3% of the vote. Florida was winner take all, with delegates being bound for 3 votes. Secondly, the delegate selection process was completely controlled by party insiders who were chosen up to 2 years prior to Ron Paul even being in the race. During the selection process only party insiders and elected officials were chosen as delegates, because they would only vote for themselves. Out of 225 delegates and alternates, there were only 6 Ron Paul supporters selected. RPOF runs a pretty tight ship and there was absolutely no chance of Ron Paul supporters sending a majority of delegates to the Republican National Convention (RNC). So what is the real reason behind the purging of grassroots from the Party?

Let me give you some background and then you decide.
