While I completely disagree with Paul on the war and other issues, I think his presence, as well as those of all candidates running, add something to the debates that is necessary - dissent, strong positions and defense of those positions and accentuated differences. Would allowing Paul to participate catapult him into the front runner? No, but debate is healthy and I hope Fox News allows Paul, Hunter and even Keyes to participate in their debate.

This isn’t just a “debate”, it is supposed to be a debate between Republicans running for President. It should be limited to such.

Very well worded, I agree.

Coming from a Thompson supporter, I believe Ron Paul deserves to be heard like any other candidate.

It seems more and more candidates grounded in the constitution and knowledgeable with are excluded or branded as nuts. Keyes and Paul are a joy to listen to.

These candidates after the election would serve Americans well by challenging the next presidents moves day after day in civil discussion.

I would hardly call any of these debates, "debates". They are theatrics and paid political programming.

I think Paulosi should join the Democrat debates myself.
