Taking part of a statement completely out of context to imply it means something that it doesn't would qualify.
Except it wasn't a completely reasonable statement. You made a statement that was untrue and which is pretty commonly known to be untrue. I provided a source saying it was untrue whereupon you proceeded to throw up a wall of monkey poo in my face. This is not debate, this is you dancing around and changing the subject constantly then proceeding to taunt me for having, y'know, actual arguments.
You provided a source that proved something I hadn't said true (that union members are complete swing voters as opposed to, say, not voting period) and threw a hissy fit when I diverged from my initial argument in noting that your sources weren't entirely supportive of your first point (that union members are obviously heavily supportive of their unions because of the evil management, as opposed to mildly supportive or apathetic).
Now, back to the actual thread,
Schadenfreude is fun. 
Do we have the exact numbers of the Paulites from the states? I know Nevada, Maine, and Minnesota have a decent number of delegates for Ron Paul, but it doesn't seem like there would be enough for the GOP to lock them out of the process altogether.
Uh, IIRC they completely swept Nevada, Iowa, and Minnesota. The Maine delegation was replaced basically on the spot via voice vote with Romney supporters. They won Louisiana too, but after discovering that the Paulites had a majority at the state convention, the head of the Republican party there called the cops, had the Paulite delegates arrested, and promptly created a shadow convention with Romney supporters.
After all that, the Paulites actually managed to get the necessary 5 states for a floor fight, which would have made Romney look like an idiot and derailed his coronation, but the RNC then changed the rules and made it 8 states so as to avoid that.
