All three of them?

[Andy from Beaverton]

The only reason Paul should be banned is because he is a third level candidate. He has zero chance of winning the party’s choice for president. He should run as a third party or as a dumbascrap.

[P-40]

I’m not much of a Ron Paul supporter but if the GOP bans Paul I’ll not bother with voting for any of their candidates.

[cripplecreek]

If you are following the news you know that the GOP is trying to ban Ron Paul this morning.

Actually it's one GOP congressman from Michigan pushing a petition and showing an even greater democrat style tactic of lying isn't going to help the Paul/Truther bunch much.

[Moonman62]

LOL

[Paul Ross]

Read before you sign. I disagree with some of its pertinent claims. But I agree, he should not be excluded from the debates.

To have his viewpoints expressed, gives the other candidates a contrast, to clarify their own views. Which is extremely valuable for them and the electorate.

The only candidates who should vanish are the "me-too" crowd as Bennet and Ingraham have observed...Gilmore, Thommy Thompson, Tancredo, and maybe Huckabee.

Here is the actual Petition:

To:  Republican National Committee

Date May 11, 2007

To the Republican National Committee,

WHEREAS, Michigan party chairman Saul Anuzis has announced a petition of Republican National Committee members asking the Republican National Committee to bar Congressman Ron Paul from future debates due to Congressman Paul’s comments in the second Republican presidential debate that Mr. Anuzis characterizes as "off the wall and out of whack";

WHEREAS, the terrorist motivation comments made by Congressman Paul are, at minimum, supported by the following:

The 911 Commission Report: During the 9/11 Commission hearings, Vice Chair Lee Hamilton asked, "What motivated them to do it?" FBI Special Agent James Fitzgerald answered, "I believe they feel a sense of outrage against the United States. They identify with the Palestinian problem, they identify with people who oppose repressive regimes, and I believe they tend to focus their anger on the United States." 9/11 Commission testimony June 16, 2004

One of the countless expert CIA statements: Former CIA Bin Laden Unit Chief Michael Scheuer has bluntly stated, "The politicians really are at great fault for not squaring with the American people. We're being attacked for what we do in the Islamic world, not for who we are or what we believe in or how we live." Lou Dobbs CNN

Osama Bin Laden statement: In response to President George W. Bush’s statement in an Address to a Joint Session of Congress and to the American People, "They hate ... a democratically elected government. ... They hate our freedoms -- our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other,”

Bin Laden in a video response stated, "The White House (is) hiding the truth ... the reality is that we are striking them because of their evil and injustice in the whole of the Islamic World, especially in Iraq and Palestine and their occupation of the Land of the Two Holy Sanctuaries (Arabian Peninsula)."

WHEREAS, Congressman Paul’s statements concerning the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Education spoke to Congressman Paul’s position of reforming and streamlining both organizations to make them more efficient while lessening the expense burden on the U.S. taxpayer – a true conservative Republican position;

WHEREAS, Congressman Paul represents traditional, conservative republican values more so than any Republican candidate;

WHEREAS, the Republican party is losing membership to other parties due to the abandonment of the traditional, conservative republican platform;

WHEREAS, registered Republican voters and American citizens desire to hear Congressman Paul’s message on these issues and others in his bid for president;

BE IT DECLARED, that the undersigned request the Republican National Committee to support fair election procedures, as well as the views and desires of its members and American citizens, by allowing Congressman Ron Paul full participation in all future debates and election events as a Republican National Committee candidate.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

“If you are following the news you know that the GOP is trying to ban Ron Paul this morning. “

I don’t agree with him on foreign policy but I believe in free speech.

Nobody should be baning anybody and if anybody was banned, it should have been conspirator McCain, working behind Bush’s back to kill the Republican planned filibuster over judicial appointments.

[freespirited]

I’m not a Paul supporter, but this guy from Michigan who is trying to ban him from future debates belongs with the whining Group of 88 at Duke and their PC Chorus.

The rest of us dont silence members of our own party simply because their ideas are at odds with our own.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

I understand that Rudy is trying to encourage all his followers to sign the petition.

You can tell a lot about a candidate from his/her supporters and their tactics. From LGF:

Ron Paul Supporters Show the Love

Wow. The Ron Paul zombies were really busy last night. I have more than two dozen hate mails this morning, each more obscene than the last. I’m a Nazi. I’m a Jew. I’m a fascist. I’m an establishment bootlicker. I’m cowardly, moronic, and myopic. How do I sleep at night? I suck, and I should have carnal relations with myself. Ron Paul is the only one who can save our “cesspool of a country.” I’m a racist piece of sh*t, and a fake chickenhawk.

Here’s a good one:

All of you who believe in AlKida or the US Government are complete and total idots!

Some are demanding proof that our poll was spammed. Some are threatening to “expose my fraud.”

Most of them insist that our poll wasn’t spammed, that Ron Paul is the only hope for America, and that I am one of the most evil beings in the universe.

FOX NEWS ALERT

No one cares about internet petitions. XD

THIS HAS BEEN A FOX NEWS ALERT

[Uncle Miltie]

Isn’t Ron Paul of the Libertarian Party?

That’s fine and all, but he should caucus with his Libertarian Congressional brethren.

Oh yeah. There aren’t any.

[The South Texan]

Maybe he can help you get the message out?

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

I think they should ban Liberal Democrats like Rudy Ghouliani from particpation in Republican debates.

[yhwhsman]

I'm afraid I don't fill these online petitions out any more. This Snopes article just verified my suspicions that online petitions are a waste of time.

“...The chairman of the Michigan Republican Party said Wednesday that he will try to bar Ron Paul from future GOP presidential debates because of remarks the Texas congressman made that suggested the Sept. 11 attacks were the fault of U.S. foreign policy... “Have you ever read about the reasons they attacked us? They attack us because we’ve been over there. We’ve been bombing Iraq for 10 years,” Paul said.
