New Hampshire GOP Backs Ron Paul…
By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Media, New Hampshire, Republicans, Ron Paul…by telling FOX they’re wrong for excluding the Republican dark horse from their forum today.
Ron Paul raised nearly $20 million in the last quarter, likely more than any of his rivals. He garnered 10 percent of the Republican vote in the Iowa Caucuses, surpassing Rudolph W. Giuliani. And he’s in New Hampshire this weekend on the airwaves and the campaign trail before the Jan. 8 primary.But the Texas congressman and presidential contender won’t be getting a seat and the table at Sunday’s Fox News Republican candidate forum.
On Saturday the New Hampshire Republican party expressed its disappointment with the decision to exclude Mr. Paul and Representative Duncan Hunter of California by severing its partnership with Fox.
“We believe that it is inconsistent with the first in the nation primary tradition to be excluding candidates in a pre-primary setting,†said Fergus Cullen, chair of the state G.O.P. party. “All candidates regardless of how well known they are or how much money they’ve raised should be treated equally here.â€
Duncan Hunter I can understand. But not Ron Paul. Not after his showing in Iowa. He’s earned a seat at that table.

Fair is fair. Unfair is the way the media, especially the television networks treat Ron Paul. ANY other candidate with the grassroots support, fundraising prowess and strong message that resonates with voters would have been coronated by the media long ago. But Ron Paul gores their sacred cow- their parent companies’ profit centers. NBC= GE, one of the largest arms and military contractors in the world (With one of the largest LOBBYIST armies in D.C.!). Fox News= Rupert Murdoch, friend to the elite and investor and best friend to the military-industrialist neo-conplex.
The list goes on, but oyu get the point. My old economics professor in College gave me the most valuable piece of advice and knowledge I have ever gotten: “When you want to find out the REAL reason why something is the way it is, FOLLOW THE MONEY!”. The Military industry, the Bankers, the pharmaceutical Industry, and most of Wall Street are milking this country dry of it’s lifeblood. And they keep telling us everything is fine with their propaganda- er…. ‘Media’ outlets. Meanwhile, the one guy that isn’t afraid to tell us the emperor has no clothes (and he’s broke!) is Ron Paul. And they demonize him as a ‘kook’ nad tell us he’s a ‘longshot’ and a ‘fringe’ candidate, when no one else gives voice to the American people like the Good DOctor Does!
disgusting…

As I’ve made obvious, I don’t think Ron Paul should be president. But I do agree that he should be included in any debates or forums.
