New Hampshire GOP Pulls Out Of Fox News Debate
By Eric Kleefeld - January 5, 2008, 1:48PM

The New Hampshire Republican Party has pulled out as a co-sponsor of tomorrow night's Fox News debate, due to the controversies surrounding the exclusion of Ron Paul. Fox News is barring Paul from the debate, with many people believing it is because of his opposition to the Iraq War.

Bear in mind that Fox News is excluding Paul from the debate, despite the absence of any objective criteria that would shut out Paul and still include some of the other people they're inviting. For example, Paul got 10% of the vote in Iowa, while invited candidate Rudy Giuliani took only 4% and is at about the same place as Paul in New Hampshire polls.

1. They are so pathetic.

2. Good for the New Hampshire Republicans.

Perhaps next they'll push their representatives to impeach.

5. Yes, good for the New Hampshire Republican Party.

Why, shut my mouth! I can't believe things have gotten so bad vis-a-vis the corporate press that I find myself in the position of saying that; but good for them.

3. denying Paul is a stupid move on the part of Fox/RNC. Around here Paul is the only

candidate with signs or car stickers that I have seen. Hardly ever see any old bush crap and nothing for the new dems candidates.

"Kudos to the New Hampshire Republican Party"

I'm almost pissed at them for putting me in this position. :)
