The New Hampshire Republican Party dropped their affiliation with a Republican debate sponsored by Fox News tomorrow night because they have limited the number of candidates that can participate, according to a report in Boston.com.
The first-in-the-nation New Hampshire primary serves a national purpose by giving all candidates an equal opportunity on a level playing field," said Republican chair Fergus Cullen. "Only in New Hampshire do lesser known, lesser funded underdogs have a fighting chance to establish themselves as national figures."
The Fox debate is excluding Texas Congressman Ron Paul even though he polls higher in New Hampshire and has raised significantly more money, and is campaigning more in New Hampshire than Fred Thompson who is invited.
"We look forward to presenting a substantive forum which will serve as the first program of its kind this election season," David Rhodes, vice president of Fox News, said in a statement.
WE JUST PRESS AHEAD. WE WILL PREVAIL. THIS IS WHAT FREEPERS AND AMERICANS ARE MADE OF ANYWAY.
I also agree with your tag-line. Try taking off the caps lock and shift keys, cleaning the area, and putting them back on.
I agree. We have to stand together. First they excluded DH. Will it be FT next?
Ron Paul is a waste of human being. I don’t want to see time wasted on someone who has a snowballs chance in hell of winning. Let REAL contenders speak and debate. I agree with FOX on that decision.
Have those who have a serious shot debate and get more out of them. Stop wasting time on whiny losers.
SO, IF HUNTER IS EXCLUDED, LOOK FOR FRED THOMPSON TO BE EXCLUDED IN FUTURE DEBATES AS THEY APPLY THE SAME OR MORE STRINGENT 'RULES'. IT IS INEVITABLE. WAKE UP FREDHEADS, THIS IS IN YOUR INTEREST, TOO!!!!! GET IN THERE AND MAKE A NOISE WITH US.
I’m boycotting Fox. I’m sick and tired of the controlled media trying to make our decisions for us... which is nothing new, but it has become much more apparent in recent years.
ONE LAST GOOD PARTING SHOT AT FOX, BEFORE TURNING THEM OFF FOREVER.
Is his “town hall” up anywhere yet?
I did email them (emailed a bunch of people there) a few days ago when I heard Paul was excluded. But I will email them again to state that Hunter should be there.
I asked them to do a poll regarding if the public wanted to hear from DH, Paul and the rest too. No response yet.
News Corp execs endorsed John Kerry in 2004. Fox News does indeed suck but no one should ever mistake it for a conservative network.
Good luck!
Maybe you’ll make some progress ... .
I just got the standard automated response. But I’ll also ask them to put up a poll and I’ll tell other people to do that too. Not sure if it’ll do any good, but it doesn’t hurt to try.
NOT SURE. BUT THIS IS REAL “THE ALAMO” TIME HERE FOR CONGRESSMAN HUNTER. GO FOR BROKE. DEBATE INCLUSION OR BUST. IT IS CRUNCH TIME.
What they do with the fruitcake Ron Paul is irrelevant.
When they leave out the last conservative in the field, Duncan Hunter, that is an attempt to destroy the Republican Party.
Watch for Fox to set up lots of little fake skirmishes with Democrats, like that fake O’Reilly-Obama hoax that they set up today, to keep selling a phony impression about Fox. The rest of the networks can’t kill conservatism, only Fox can.
The demand is there for a serious conservative channel. We may have a new one soon.
