GOP playing machine politics with Ron Paul delegates!

As I've said before, don't you just love democracy! In Missouri, those who were rash enough to vote for Ron Paul are being given the runaround by the party bosses. What's the point of having a caucus, if some armtwister tells you you voted the wrong way?

The Paul campaign believes that a handful of GOP officials are playing machine politics and breaking their own rules to disenfranchise Paul supporters. “The Republican party is in trouble and needs more participants in 2008, not less,” said campaign manager Lew Moore. “It makes no sense for Missouri party leaders to exclude and marginalize the new activists they badly need to work at every level this fall.” Quite so!

I thought I would publicise this bit of intrique as good American democracy!
