This was released today from the New Hampshire Republican Party.
Serves Fox right, if you ask me. Finally someone is standing up for Paul and it happens to be New Hampshire, how fitting. This recent action will only serve to hurt Fox and their rating but it should help the Paul campaign. As we have learned from the past, whenever Dr. Paul is excluded from something it only galvanizes his supporters and creates more free media publicity like this and this . Also and more satisfying, this type of action will make Fox look dumber than they already are. If this doesn't make the slogan "fair and balanced" a running joke among Americans nothing will. Anyway, i think this is just great and all credit to the New Hampshire Republican Party. We need more groups like you.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 5, 2008
Fergus Cullen, Chairman, New Hampshire Republican Party
NH REPUBLICAN PARTY WITHDRAWS AS FOX FORUM PARTNER
CONCORD – New Hampshire Republican Party Chairman Fergus Cullen releases the following statement regarding Sunday’s Republican forum on FOX:
“The first-in-the-nation New Hampshire primary serves a national purpose by giving all candidates an equal opportunity on a level playing field. Only in New Hampshire do lesser known, lesser funded underdogs have a fighting chance to establish themselves as national figures. Consistent with that tradition, we believe all recognized major candidates should have an equal opportunity to participate in pre-primary debates and forums.
This principle applies to tonight’s debates on ABC as well as Sunday’s planned forum on FOX. The New Hampshire Republican Party believes Congressmen Ron Paul and Duncan Hunter should be included in the FOX forum on Sunday evening. Our mutual efforts to resolve this difference have failed.
While we understand that FOX News continues to move forward it is with regret, the New Hampshire Republican Party hereby withdraws as a partner in this forum.”
