Fox Debate Begins, No Ron Paul
The Fox News debate is underway and Ron Paul is nowhere to be found.
The broadcast began without an explanation for his exclusion and comes after a week of stonewalling by Fox, which refused to answer questions from the news media, the Paul campaign and even the New Hampshire Republican Party, which withdrew its sponsorship of the debate yesterday when it became clear that Paul would be left out.
Meanwhile, the latest New Hampshire poll, released hours ago, has Ron Paul receiving 10 times as much support as Fred Thompson—whom Fox included in the debate.

It is the Voters in NH to decide the outcome of this campaign, not FOX NEWS. From what I hear, FOX NETWORK is creating a mess in NH. It seems that FOX wants to influence the outcome of a Presidential Election. Ron Paul is reaching out directly to the voter of NH. It is sad to see the other candidates so desperate for attention, they should have declined the format. Sometimes it is important to stand up for what is right. This clearly was unjustified to exclude Ron Paul, and it shows the character of the other candidates for continuing with the format without Ron Paul. Whatever the outcome, as a mom up here in Connecticut, I am proud to support Ron Paul. He has my vote.
Its a shame thay dont allow desent in the party.
A pro-war canidate will loose to hillary in the end.
I never really looked hard at Ron Paul until I began to wonder why Fox didn't want him in their debate. I must say. WOW! Where has this guy been? Where have *I* been??
A politician that states his believes and not what he/she thinks you want to hear? A politician that wants to follow the constitution? Admittedly, I missed him because he doesn't have glib tongue and a polished look. His positions may not fit into a 15 second sound bite, but it is preposterous that he should be censored by a "fair and balanced" news organization.
I hope my fellow Granite-staters are not as dumb as Fox News is hoping we are.
Observer, your poll link is no good.
One of the excuses that Faux Snooze used to bar Ron Paul from their forum is that they are broadcasting from a bus and it's just too small. Of course, we all know that's BS, but I held my nose and took a quick look (then turned the channel) and that is NOT a bus.
I'm sick as hell of having a few self appointed gatekeepers controlling the American political debate. These criminals are trotting out the annointed and acceptable establishment crooks and liars, limiting the voices that Americans will hear.
I want my constitution back, this country out of debt, and out of the endless wars for the profiteers. Fox News and any other enemy of the American people will not stop that and it won't stop the desire for a soverign and prosperous USA.
BOYCOTT Faux Snooze ans sell all NewsCorp stock (NWS), starting NOW. Buy freedom, vote Ron Paul.
How could they say there's no room for him? He looks like he's rather short and is quite thin.... not to mention his ego is much smaller than the ones that are up there.
***NEWS FLASH TO CHANE (second post from top)***
Hillary Clinton is PRO the war on terror and always has been.
Not only is Ron Paul not included but there are literally swarms of "security" and police making sure that the horde of Ron Paul supporters demonstrating at the college don't get anywhere near the official Fox broadcast.
A handful of supporters made their way into a building across from the broadcast location and posted Ron Paul signs which were quickly removed and destroyed at the order of Fox News directors.
As a result I have declared war on Fox, and Rupert Murdocks pocketbook. I will NEVER support any aspect of Fox newmedia ever again in my life. I used to be a somwhat watcher, and now I am firmly forever an internet user.
I am sickened by this whole exercise, it is a dog and pony show and the winner is already known in the darkroom.
why is it that everytime a voice of the peoplr arises,he is silenced; Now we hav hope to free this country of oppression from big corporations with Ron Paul and it should be obvious to people that he is the voice of change. Fox News should be boycotted in fact fox should be boycotted all together and by Fox trying to keep Dr. Ron Paul silent and unheard that should be the nail in the coffin that he is the one to support. BOYCOTT FOX SUPPORT RONPAUL
My God. The GOP has really lost it. None of these people that are on the stage have a clue as to why they lost it. Neconservative policy wonks have set the party back 20 years. None of these people have a record or policy proposals with the goal of less government like Regan talked about. Does the Republican establishment really believe that American voters will line up around the corner to vote for "me too", open ended entitlement spending, bigger government, and (apparently) endless war?
Wow, I never imagined Fox would do this. I am happy to see that the GOP pulled sponsorship, Ron paul is a Hero, and the American public is at a HUGE HUGE TERRIBLY HUGE DISADVANTAGE to not know this man, hero, - he is truly once in a lifetime. I hope all the Ron paul New Hampshire campaign efforts pay off after the primary. I am keeping fingers crossed, despite this horrendous Fox exclusion. What a sham. Sham. SHAM. :(
Ron Paul is the only politician that has the balls to tell it like it is.
Our troops support him, they know the truth too.
Our privatley owned federal reserve is bankrupting this great country.
FOX ,and all the other controlled major media don't want this man to speak the truth.
WAKE UP AMERICA! VOTE RON PAUL He defines honesty & integrity. Something that America has not had in a very long time.
It was not 'without explanation', they said they had 'no room in the bus'...
Oh, and the forum was in a studio... not a bus...
When are people going to wake up to Faux News?
Yeah, it sure does look like there is enough room for Ron Paul in that "bus." And as far as the whole group of poser patriot candidates that did attend the forum, I'm with Change. Shame on them and I hope America sees it that way also.

Hopefully Murdock has just put himself out of business by this blatant exclusion of Ron Paul. This is democracy. Murdock has viotlated every citizens the right to vote by not presenting all the candidates. Murdock should be arrested. THis is the problem with big business sticking their nose into government! A perfect example. Let's roll. Get our Constitution back!

Ron Paul was excluded from the Fox debate. So in effect Fox has asked for us to effect them negatively as they have done Ron Paul.
Vote Ron Paul and down with biased liars 'fair and balanced' media!!
Google Ron Paul!
Ron For President!
Ron Paul is the default winner of tonight's FOX debate. The publicity it garnered, the number of people who do NOT support Dr. Paul that have woken up t the nature of FOX and big media in general has benefitted Dr. Paul. The other candidates either bicker, attack or simply parrot each other's views as there is little difference in teh big picture between them. Ron Paul ALONE attempts to bring attention to the most important issues in the debates (sound monetary policy, American sovereignty, fiscal irresponsibility, the loss of our inalienable rights and the foreign policy which is feeding anti-american sentiment even among moderate muslims and our western friends alike while driving us ever onward to recession and fiscal bankruptcy.
No wonder FOX doesn't want his message out.
Please GOOGLE and YOUTUBE RON PAUL. GET your own news.
You know why they don't invite him? Because their scared.
Those that contol the media control the puppet politicians as well.
I guess when they say they support the troops , they mean Halliburton,KBR, and all the other companies that are getting rich off our sons and daughters deaths.
WAKE UP AMERICA! Use the internet and find out the truth for yourself. Ron Paul America's last hope
It's about time that this obvious censorship hits the MSM.
How long America will allow a "elite" to send them to endless wars? How long will it take until the USA have a President that is NOT a memeber of the Globalist World control NeoCon Shill Council of Foreign Relations? All candidates og bothe Parties are CFR memebers. Except for one: Ron Paul.
It's about time to stand up.
In the meantime: Congrats and Thanks to the New York Observer to NOT be silent about the silencers andd censors.
Like i said use the internet to educate yourself. Think our government is so honest? Guess again.
Here i ll help you pull your head out. Google
Monopoly men federal reserve fraud
isn't this the exact same thing faux news lambasted cbs and dan rather for? trying to influence a presidential election? my god what has this country come to when we put up with this type of mind control!?
Look up the definition of Fox, then you will understand why they do what they do.
"Fox" means to be a cunning and very crafty person or to deceive and trick. Webster's Dictionary
So when Fox says they are fair and Balanced, they are in fact being very cunning and crafty to deceive and trick you about all issues.
Fox is a great Satan of our time, they mix a little truth with alot of lie.
Fox news has proved to be a propaganda mouthpiece for the corrupt entities who have hijacked our country. I suggest they are guilty of (at least) manipulation of an election.
You never should have left Ron Paul out, a revolution's pointed at you now.
sell fox stox
GOOGLE RON PAUL. Find out for YOURSELF, not via talking heads, who this man is. 2 minutes on a debate do NOT do him or his beliefs justice. Find out WHY Fox hates him- why they refuse to even let him talk. It's because he is FOR THE PEOPLE, not the big corporations (i.e. FOX) who would lose much sway and power in govt if a STATESMAN like Ron Paul is elected.
Newsflash people- you should not bow to your govt. It is their job to bow to YOU. It is their job to protect YOUR PRIVACY. It is their job to vote for legislation to SAVE YOU MONEY, not spend our grandchildren into a welfare state.
