I've written to Associated Press to find out whether it was them that omitted him, or MSNBC. Will advise - if they respond. If anyone else wants to make a bit of noise, feel free!

I've seen some iffy cases where they excluded Paul from a list of 3-4 Republican candidates. But...wow, this one has Brownback, Hunter, and Tancredo in it.

Look at the questions people!
Ron Paul probably took one look at them and shit canned the whole thing.

Pathetic, but I did enjoy this question to Tancredo:

What is the last work of fiction you've read?

"An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore

Thanks for pointing this out. I should have looked at the questions first. They probably did send Dr. Paul this questionnaire, and he probably ignored it.

Tancredo cracked me up. It sounded like he's applying for Team America.

LOL at Tancredo saying he failed high school french. Can you suck up to Fox News anymore?

The whole set of Tancredo answers is hilarious. He has nothing to lose now, so why not audition for stand-up comic?

Your claim that RP is the only one missing is not true. They have also excluded Mike Gravel.

They also excluded Fred Thompson...so before y'all go exploding on people "DEMANDING ANSWERS", make sure to know what you are writing before you write it.

Duncan Hunter
Q:What is the last work of fiction you've read?
A: "The Democrats' proposal to balance the budget."

Interesting to see that with the exception of Brownback, they all drive American cars exclusively.

They left out Gravel, too, those bastards.

Tancredo mentioned a Toyota Prius Hybrid in his answer...

Wow, how authoritarian.

I get the feeling that this is old. I think I saw something like this before, and the exclusion of Thompson makes it more suspicious.

EDIT: Some quick Googling showed that this blog mentioned it as early as July 1:

And Brownback was included. You're right -- it does seem familiar. This probably came up a month ago, and we just forgot about it.

Yeah Duncan................. the republicans did so great balancing the budget in the 12 years they had control over everything didnt they?

What a dick this guy is. I cant stand democrats on economic policy, but Duncan has a s--tload of nerve to make fun of their budget deficits when Bush spent more than Clinton ever hoped to do.

Republicans have NO room to talk about big spending democrats anymore. They lost that right 7 years ago.

The sad truth is that crap like that is what appeals to a large portion of the population.

"Oh, Mitt drives a Mustang just like I do! I think Ill vote for him!" Ugh.
