Ed Failor Jr., the president of conservative group Iowans for Tax Relief, said his group excluded Ron Paul from the June 2007 forum because of Paul's status in national polls rather than his political beliefs. Other candidates who finished far behind Paul in the caucuses, including Tom Tancredo and Duncan Hunter, were included in the event, along with better known politicians such as Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee.


Failor, whose group is among the most powerful in Iowa Republican politics, said he sees differences between the Pauls.


"Rand Paul is a little bit more mainstream than what Ron Paul was perceived," Failor said.


Really? The guy who wrote Rand's book clearly said "I have analyzed speeches, writings, and interviews and I can't find any difference between Ron and Rand on policy"

Among neocons, Perception is Reality. And I, for one, perceive the reality in Failor's name.
