		<description>Dear Ron Paulers:

If you desire to win the hearts and minds of Republicans then I suggest do not try to wage a guerrila war in state conventions across the country.  You guys are just pissing people off and creating an image that you are a bunch of loonies.

You should try to work toward the next election cycle.  Perhaps try to win some seats in state assemblies.  Hell, win a governor or senator seat to see if you can win a state wide race.  Once you elect a governor then run that dude for president.

Right now, you guys are limited in your appeal.  Ron Paul is still running for president.  Yet, Hucklebee who dropped out months ago is still getting more votes in these recent primaries.

Lastly, do not cry about fairness.  Paul only got 20% of vote in Nevada.  You guys are trying to screw over the voters by getting him more than 20%.  I think the voters will remember this for a long time.</description>

		<description>I sometimes find unexpected things when surfing the Internet. Today I found a post written by my son Jason that I did not know about. I think it is well  written and provides sound advice to party leaders about their terrible mistake in recessing the convention:

"I was at the Nevada State Republican Convention. I was involved in the process leading up to it. Our strategy amounted to reading Robert's Rules of Order, reading the proposed convention rules as espoused by the Party leadership, and showing up. There was no attempted "takeover". We were motivated, excited to participate in the process, and everyone else stayed home.

Before the party leadership illegally recessed the convention without a discussion or a vote we managed to elect 7 out of the first 9 delegates to the national convention. We were on our way to capturing 80% to 90% of Nevada's entire slate of delegates (31).

The main problem is that the Republican Party leadership is not well acquainted with people expressing contrary opinions. The leaders I've come in contact with are incredibly uncomfortable with any individual standing up and saying, "Mr. Chairman, Point of Order" or "Mr Chairman, Point of Inquiry".

What the Republican Party leadership likes to see is a well managed convention with zero discussion or debate. The problem is that there is no way Ron Paul supporters will win any delegates, or change anyone's mind on any issue if we do not open up the convention process to allow contrary opinions.

The Party Establishment in Nevada seemed shocked that a super majority of delegates might actually want a fair and honest method of selecting delegates to the National Convention, rather than to rely on a handful of people in a nominations committee.

I ask you: What is the point of attending any precinct caucus in the entire country if the whole thing is rigged at the State Convention? Why even go to a State convention if the only thing you do is listen to a few boring speeches, pray to God, and salute the flag? That's not the point of a convention. The point of a convention is to decide how the party will operate, and what the goals will be until the next convention. This requires debate, discussion, and sometimes results in conflict. And in the long term it is good for the Republican Party.</description>

		<description>I have had many of my Letters to The Editor published in the L.V.SUN just because they get so many rebuttlas to my Conservative view. They are so Liberal and Socialistic in their views that I often am amazed at their stupidity.

If they did not have nice crossword puzzles and the numbers game I would not have read anything they publish.

Obama is a jerk and they play him up like he is the Messiah. Hillary lies and is written about as if she were actually capable of intelligent thought. Harry 'Hands Up' Reid gets featured so often that I wonder what pictures he has on a person of importance at the SUN.

Raising taxes is the favorite 'pass time' for Democrats. I'm just waiting for the 'imputed property tax' they will present just as soon as they figure out how it works!</description>

		<description>Ron Paul on Fox News says he is still running for President.

Huckabee dropped out months ago.

In both Indiana and North Carolina, Huckabee finished ahead of Ron Paul.</description>
