Ron Paul Excluded from Iowa Debate
Found this on the blog Liberal Values. Not sure why he has a post on Ron Paul but hey I think even some anti-war liberals like the dude, who knows.
Anywho I read this and thought “oh my God, someone’s gonna blow somethin’ up”
Paul supporters are not going to tolerate this shit, LOL!
Sphere: Related ContentRon Paul, along with Tom Tancredo and Duncan Hunter who also have less than 5% support in the polls, are being excluded from a December 4 Republican debate. Needless to say, Paul’s supporters are angry. On the surface it might make sense to limit the debates to those who appear to have a chance at winning the nomination. The problem is that using the polls to decide who is electable in this manner gives the polls an excessive influence in the final outcome.

This is total bullshit. Ron Paul needs to be heard, they want to silence him.

Like ROn Paul or not I would think you’d discourage what is essentially allowing early polling help decide the Republican nominee.

Ok I agree 100% polling is frankly bullshit.
But dude you have to concede that although Paul’s support is strong and solid it is not widespread.
I’m sorry for repeating, but Paul’s views are not mainstream, and because of the antics of his supporters his campaign is viewed as a joke.
I went to the Blog World conference and every time Ron Paul’s name was mentioned people just gave that shit eating grin and shook their heads. Had NOTHING to do with where he stood politically, but people jokingly referred to his supporters as insane asylum escapees.
Like it or not “image” matters. Despite his tremendous fundraising (which got some BIG props at Blog World BTW) he won’t poll well and until the negative vibes caused by his supporters go away he will continue to be on the outside looking in.
Again, he should be heard, but his campaign MUST…MUST work on the image and marketing side of his campaign.

“Must work on the image and marketing side of his campaign”
Couldn’t agree more. By the way Snoop… Ron Paul hit 5% and got invited to the debate. Then Romney cancelled the whole **** THING.
