PLAISTOW, N.H. -- Ron Paul said the decision to exclude him from a debate on Fox News Sunday the weekend before the New Hampshire Primary is proof that the network "is scared" of him.
"They are scared of me and don't want my message to get out, but it will," Paul said in an interview at a diner here. "They are propagandists for this war and I challenge them on the notion that they are conservative."
Paul's staff said they are beginning to plan a rally that will take place at the same time the 90-minute debate will air on television. It will be taped at Saint Anselm College in Goffstown.
"They will not win this skirmish," he promised.
The Fox debate occurs less than 24 hours after two back to back Republican and Democratic debates on the same campus sponsored by ABC News, WMUR-TV and the social networking website Facebook.
Paul, the Republican Texas Congressman, was wrapping up his final day of campaigning in New Hampshire until the Iowa Caucuses on Thursday.
He spent much of the day campaigning at diners in Manchester and Plaistow and downtown walks in Derry and Exeter.

No FAUX News on in my home. I got tired of the Mega Ego personalities two of which have radio shows and one of which shows his face from Thursday-weekend and quite a bit otherwise. FAUX started out pretty good in it's early years. But it's new direction leaves a lot to be desired. For example who wants to see Mort and Fred say amen to each other night after night. They are so close in viewpoint now they may as well be twins.
The best reporters the ones who actually give news are Major Garett, John Gibson,Greg Palkot, Patti Browne, foreign field reporter Kellog, are the only thing FAUX has going for it and their time is highly limited.
The rest of FAUX News I don't care for. Oh yea the "I pooted" FAUX NEWS ALERTS bad enough in primetime then repeated all night. And last is Gretta? How many times can the same old stories be rehashed? Their entire evening line-up needs to go. Give Garett and Browne each their own show to actually report and put on Gibson primetime replacing H&C or O'Rielly's show.
Hunter and Paul out. Fox does not like debate on the war or free trade.
It’s not that Fox News has anything against Duncan Hunter. The Republican voters don’t seem to like him very much . . he never polled over 2 per cent, and always trailed Ron Paul.
Because some people are playing "vote for the worst" as in American Idol's "vote for Sanjaya" campaign.
That’s sad you say that. Dr Paul served in the United States Air Force.... May I ask who you are supporting?
OH his message is getting out big time on the left wing blogosphere and Pubic Radio/TV media-—they love him there-—flabbergasted but enamored...except for the abortion stand which he always avoids talking about.
My advice to Paul, is to conspire with someone named Juran Peterson Kalpo, and hijack a blonde driving a Bronco in Aruba that night...

CHATTANOOGA - Supporters of Ron Paul's bid for the Republican presidential nomination have picked up more than 100 petitions to become convention delegates for the Texas congressman.
That leads the pack among potential GOP presidential delegates who want to be on the ballot during the Feb. 5 primary.
There are 74 people seeking to be delegates for Fred Thompson, a former Tennessee senator, and 72 for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
Campaigns can designate up to 24 at-large delegates and six per congressional district.

Merry Christmas.

Great tagline too.
But it's all good. Oh, it's all good.
Ron Paul...helping to RIGHT the Republican party.
A DEFINING MOMENT IN PRESIDENTIAL POLY-TIKS!
“One of the defining moments in presidential politics for me came on the night of the New Hampshire Republican debates in 1980. It was a heated campaign, and although there were several other candidates on the ballot, George Herbert Walker Bush and Ronald Reagan were running neck and neck. The debate hosts wanted Reagan and Bush to square off against each other, and tried to keep the other candidates off the stage.
Bush concurred. But not Reagan. He grabbed the microphone, gave the hosts his stern and disapproving look, and said that since he had paid for the mike, he was going to give every candidate a chance to make his case to the voters of New Hampshire”
Then I’m in good company. Because Mr. Paul scares the Hell out of me!
How would he “right” the Republican party with his foolish economic and foreign policy views?
Happens every election cycle it seems. I would vote for Paul or Hunter that is as it as far as the GOP choices this election go.
