"The idea
that this convention is part of the “democratic” process
is a joke: it is no more free and open than an old-style Soviet
party convention. What’s going on in Tampa is the culmination
of a process that has nothing to do with democracy, and everything to
do with legitimizing the control of party bosses, corporate
interests, and, most important of all, the War Party over the
nominating process and the two-party duopoly"
"The
extraordinary hostility of the GOP hierarchy to Ron Paul and his
supporters hardly comes as a shock: Paul is, after all, the single
most trenchant critic of our interventionist foreign policy since
William Jennings Bryan, and he is the War Party’s deadly
enemy. To the servitors of the military-industrial complex, the
foreign lobbyists, and would-be Napoleons of the neocon persuasion
who hold the reins of power in the GOP, he is the Devil Incarnate."
