After the circus of the Repub primaries/caucuses where they made up and broke rules as they went to serve Romney, I was shocked that the federal government didn't step in and disqualify Romney or put the GOP back in its place. That they didn't, was a major blow to the integrity of our voting process. Repub officials maintained that they are a private "club" and that they can follow, ignore, or change the rules as they see fit. This is not true at all, however, because the federal government provides them with funding with which to run these caucuses.
Kind of funny when you consider that in one caucus where there were mostly Paul supporters, the outnumbered Romney constituents who ran the caucus, quickly appointed delegates for Romney and then closed the meeting amid shouts of objection, demands for points of order, and a vote count, then told all the Paul supporters that if they wanted to continue the caucus they needed to pay the rent and insurance for the building. They never had to answer for this behavior and I just think that's crazy. IT'S A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. How did they get away with this?
