TAMPA—Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has a message for Ron Paul supporters who say they feel "disrespected" by the Republican Party's delegate allocation process: You lost, move on.
"I don't think they've been disrespected," Huckabee told a gaggle of reporters as we walked through the convention center here near the Tampa Bay Times Forum. "Elections are about—you get numbers. I lost four years ago, and I didn't feel disrespected as much as I felt defeated. You have to accept that the voters make a choice and the voters made a choice."
Paul supporters, who embarked on an aggressive effort to secure delegates in several states during the Republican primaries, argue that Mitt Romney's campaign strong-armed the party into limiting Paul delegates at the convention.
On Sunday, thousands of Paul supporters met for a rally at the University of South Florida, where they expressed outrage at what they called unfair treatment during the state delegate selection process.
"We know that some of you were shut out, locked out, lied to," Paul campaign adviser Doug Wead told Paul's delegates at the Sunday rally.
Paul and Huckabee, who represent opposite wings within the party, have engaged in a public feud since they both ran for the party's presidential nomination in 2008. Huckabee has called Paul supporters "fanatical believers" who "don't represent mainstream Americans."

Ron Paul had the perfect opportunity to further the goal of moving the GOP a little more towards the libertarian direction. Instead he held his own little convention so his idiotic fans could adore him while chanting Bernanke is a traitor. Ron Paul is a self serving asshole. I'm glad the old will be leaving politics.

I hope his son will be more successful than he has been. He's certainly taking a better approach. I won't hold my breath since the re ed paulbots have already labeled him a traitor as well.

I really like Huckabee once I got to know who he is. I wish he won the 2008 primary.

eh the GOP establishment was trying to completely neuter the convention process (right now it's been cir cised a la mavs>spurs)

of course it pissed off the hardcore grassroots Republicans who have been working for years to become delegates

Your posts are completely worthless and need to be cir cised from every thread

This would be the same Huckleberry who's the only major Republican dumb enough to keep supporting Mr. "legitimate rape", Todd Akin?

to be honest, ron paul is the only former candidate that i believe would have a better chance of beating obama than losing to him. obama's proven himself a, to quote his own word- "jackass" and people generally hate him but the repugnance hasn't gone to such extent where people would rather vote for a mormon over him tbh, let alone his VP candidate Ryan being a complete clown. we can congratulate obama for his reelection in advance now tbh

The whole Christian right is stupid. They still think the GOP has some interest in stopping abortion.
