ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – According to the New Hampshire State Republican Party and an Associated Press report, Republican presidential candidate and Texas Congressman Ron Paul will be excluded from an upcoming forum of Republican candidates to be broadcast by Fox News on January 6, 2008.

“Given Ron Paul’s support in New Hampshire and his recent historic fundraising success, it is outrageous that Dr. Paul would be excluded,” said Ron Paul 2008 campaign chairman Kent Snyder. “Dr. Paul has consistently polled higher in New Hampshire than some of the other candidates who have been invited.”

I’m not a huge politics guy, but this is pretty ridiculous.  Guy is a long time Republican senator, is polling higher by the week, raised $19M last quarter, but isn’t invited to a forum for candidates most likely because he doesn’t fall in line with every other Republican candidate.  Heaven forbid that a guy actually want smaller government, less war, lower taxes, and more personal freedom.  Sounds terrible Fox.  Thanks for keeping everyone from having to decide on whether or not they like him.
