Fox News and the Republican Party of Iowa are refusing to allow Ron Paul to join the Iowa debate in early december. They "claim" he does not have a 5% name recognition on telephone polls. Good excuse to keep him out. None of the other candidates have raised over $4 million in one day as he did on nov. 5, 2007.
Republican Party of Iowa: To host presidential debate in Des Moines Contact: Mary Tiffany (515) 282-8105 Debate to be nationally televised by FOX NEWS CHANNEL The Republican Party of Iowa announced today that it will hold its presidential debate at Hy-Vee Hall in downtown Des Moines. The event, to be held the evening of December 4, 2007, will be the first debate in Iowa to be televised by FOX News Channel this election season, as well as the first debate sponsored by the Republican Party of Iowa. Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Ray Hoffmann said, "With the caucuses less than a month away, our December 4 debate will be very telling to Iowans and the nation. We are thrilled to be having this event in central Iowa, and right in downtown Des Moines which will be the epicenter on caucus night." What I am doing is sending Mr. Hoffman an email, ([EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ) and letting him know that if Ron Paul is not onthe debate that I will vote for the "WICKED BITCH". Ray Hoffmann, Chairman Sioux City Dear Mr. Hoffman, I wanted to let you and all of the IOWA folks know that my wife and I are in our early 80s and have always voted Republican. I am letting you know that if you try this criteria garbage whose sole purpose is to eliminate Ron Paul from the debate in December, my wife and I and over 10+ family members have decided that we will not only vote for the "WICKED BITCH OF THE EAST" come 2008, but send her $500 on top of that. But if you insist on a criteria then it should be on those candidates that have not raised over $4 million dollars in a single day, of which my family did their part. I am a WWII and Korean veteran. Capiche! Robert and Gloria Beckett and family. The debate will be limited to those candidates who have satisfied the following criteria: 1. Announced a formal campaign for President: and 2. Filed the necessary paperwork with the Federal Election Commission; and 3. Met all U.S. constitutional requirements; and 4. Garnered at least 5% of the national electorate as determined by an average of the most recent national telephone polls of registered voters conducted by non-partisan public opinion polling organizations leading up to the registration deadline as determined by Fox News Channel and the Republican Party of Iowa or garnered an average of at least 5% in the most recent polls of Iowa voters conducted by the American Research Group and the Des Moines Register. AND THIS JUST HAPPENS TO COME OUT THE EXACT DAY THAT RON PAUL HAS MADE HISTORY BY RAISING MORE MONEY IN ONE DAY THAN ANY OTHER CANDIDATE!!! !! THEY KNOW THAT RON PAUL DOESN'T REGISTER IN THESE BOGUS "NATIONAL PHONE POLLS" AND THUS GIVES THEM A PLAUSIBLE REASON TO EXCLUDE HIM FROM THE DEBATE EVEN IN THE FACE OF SUCH OUTSTANDING SUPPORT THAT WAS EVIDENT TODAY!!! WE ALL MUST DO SOMETHING!!! !!
