Ron Paul dropped from FOX Sponsored Debate
Tuesday, January 1st, 2008 in News by Mario Rizzo
It may come as no shock that Ron Paul has been excluded from the upcoming
presidential
debate in New Hamp****re sponsored by FOX News. They said the “trailer”
where they plan to
hold the debate was not big enough to fit all the candidates. (However,
Ron Paul is a
fairly small man, physically.) So they decided to exclude two candidate
whose poll
showings were not sufficient — yes, all before any real vote is cast. The
link below gives
the details. The real issue, however, is whether any candidate should be
omitted from the
debate. After all, the point of having various candidates present is not
simply to give
people a chance to decide on the candidate to vote for but to raise
issues. Is it not
newsworthy that the Republican Party has abandoned its traditional concern
for individual
liberty, small government and Constitutional limits? Who but Ron Paul
will raise this
issue? When news organizations show little regard for exposing people to
ideas they don’t
already know they are not fulfilling their responsibilities. The idea of
news is NEW
information — not the same recycled garbage about who is running negative
ads and so forth.
