the guy's polling in the single digits in every poll in the country one week from the Primaries.
he's been in every Fox Republican debate from the beginning.
there's a good chance he'll go Independent anyway's.
who cares?
what if CNN nixxes him? would you give a rat's ass?

He is polling ahead of Thompson in quite a few states...and he is absolutely dominating Tancredo and Duncan Hunter across the board, yet they will be there..
If you need more proof of Faux-News pro-war bias, look no further.

I would and I have. I'm not a Kucinich supporter, yet I was angered when he was excluded from the Iowa debate. I understand the money and the polling numbers take priority on these things, and God knows I'm just as sick as the next person with all these debates(are there more this year?). But I'm also sick as hell of the media slobbering over the top 2-3 candidates on both sides and labeling them as "Serious" while seemingly sideswiping the remaining field. And often times, the members of the remaining fields have things worthwhile to say that aren't always a mainstream political thought that's printed ad nauseum by our idiot media.
I'm not insinuating a conspiracy or anything as extreme as that. Just a bit of a sideswipe that I don't think was necessary here.

hate to break it to you Tancredo dropped out a week before Christmas. Hunter is about to drop out.

of course Fox is pro-war. if they refused to sponsor Democrat debates you might have a case. if they had never invited Paul, the only anti-war Republican, to any of the debates you might have a case. if Paul were polling with a snowball's chance in hell you might have a case.

well one positive thing came out of the exclusion...it pissed off a lot of Paul supporters so they decided to do a "mini-moneybomb" on 12-31 out of protest. They raked in a cool 550k for Dr. Paul pushing him to nearly 20 million for the 4th quarter. He matched Hillary in funds raised, and blew away every other Republican.
debates? We don't need no stinkin debates
Paul should do ok in Iowa, but I think he is really going to shock people in New Hampshire. I'd be willing to bet money he will beat at least two of the "major" candidates in that race..
Paul talks about issues that no other candidate is willing to touch...and if he has a strong showing (3rd place) in NH, it will ensure he stays in this thing till the bitter end, reaching tens of millions with his message. That is what counts.
