<em><strong><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: larger;">Honesty, Integrity, Fairness, and following the rules!</span></span></strong></em><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">You wonder why the electorate are so disenchanted with the two political parties. It&rsquo;s because of all the stuff that goes on &ldquo;behind closed doors&rdquo; and &ldquo;under the sheets.&rdquo;</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">You would think in an election year as important as this one that the Republican State Party would follow the rules that they made and live by them instead of voting to override them so Romney can claim a WIN IN MICHIGAN instead of a tie.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">The State party chose to change the rules so Romney could have more delegates than Santorum.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">As a CONSERVATIVE that believes &ldquo;Rules were made to be followed not broken!&rdquo; I am extremely disappointed in what the republican party did by changing the rules and I congratulate Mike Cox on his stand and his &ldquo;NO&rdquo; vote on the rules change even though he is a Romney supporter.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">The question is whether that single delegate for Romney is a big deal? Probably not? But it could be. That isn&rsquo;t the issue!&nbsp; </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">The point is IT WAS WRONG AND THESE TYPES OF BACK DOOR POLITICS NEED TO STOP!</span><br />
