“Shouldn’t this disqualify him from being allowed to appear at the GOP debates? He doesn’t deserve official sanction as a Republican if he is going to run against the party.”
More of Paul’s inconsistencies. If he’d had his way in a resolution he co-sponsored with liberal congressman JESSE JACKSON he would have been kept out of the debates.
. H.CON.RES.263 : Expressing the sense of Congress that any Presidential candidate should be permitted to participate in debates among candidates if at least 5 percent of respondents in national public opinion polls of all eligible voters support the candidate’s election for President or if a majority of respondents in such polls support the candidate’s participation in such debates. Sponsor: Rep Jackson, Jesse L., Jr. [IL-2] (introduced 11/6/2001) Cosponsors (2)

Since Huckabee is running as a pro life big government Democrat, shouldn't the same rules apply to him?
In all seriousness, taking Paul out of it for a second, I know what you mean. You need a license and test to drive, hunt, fish but any leftist can run with an R next to their name. See Mike Bloomberg. You are right that something needs to be done to protect the brand.
He’s been polling at 6-8%.
