Ron Paul said "they (NH GOP) said they would withdraw support of Fox Forum!

[Menthol Patch]

Ron Paul just said that the NH GOP said they would withdraw their support of the forum if he was not included!!!!!

[Menthol Patch]

This is a BOMBSHELL! AWESOME!!!!!

GO GO GO NH GOP!!!

[curtisag]

Hell yeah!!! That's what I'm talking about. The NH GOP are awesome to stand up for freedom.

[Menthol Patch]

I'm so excited I can barely type!

[jblosser]

Yes, they did this before the original press release came out. Apparently Fox said "fine" and they've been going back and forth about it since.

I feel MUCH better about the NH GOP now!

However, if Ron Paul is excluded we need to hold the NH GOP to their word!

[Ron Paul Fan]

That's EXCELLENT news! I hope Ron Paul places well tomorrow and makes Fox News look silly!

[hambone1982]

Where did you hear/see Ron Paul say this? Source please? :-)

He just said it in the situation room on CNN!

[ronpaulfollower999]

+1 for NH GOP

[Paulitical Correctness]

It's hard to believe there are still people out there that think the MSM, namely Faux, is legit.

LOL @ Fair and balanced.

They made the threat days ago and haven't actually pulled yet as I understand it but they are going to bat. We have been saying this. We weren't really at liberty to disclose the details but if Ron said it then it's out there.

[Menthol Patch]

+1 for NH GOP

This is awesome!

If Ron Paul is INCLUDED in the debate he will obviously get a boost from the HOUR AND A HALF of PRIME TIME!

If Ron Paul is EXCLUDED the NH GOP will DROP THEIR SUPPORT and this will draw significant media attention!

[Rex]

What!!!!!!!!

[Menthol Patch]

I wish you would have told us!

[jrich4rpaul]

I can't believe I missed this.

Can you go into detail about what happened?

[Yom]

Yesssssss!

[slantedview]

Ron Paul just said that the NH GOP said they would withdraw their support of the forum if he was not included!!!!!

OH SNAP!

:eek:

[LibertyEagle]

Man, I wish the campaign would hire a kick ass PR firm and make hay with this exclusion BS. If done right, this could do wonders for our campaign.

[voytechs]

It's hard to believe there are still people out there that think the MSM, namely Faux, is legit.

LOL @ Fair and balanced.

And many are RP supporters. They just don't know or realize what they are ingesting.

[gb13]

Is this true?!?!

When/where/to whom did he say this?

Link?

[bbachtung]

If they follow through, all maxed out RP donors should drop some serious money love on the NH Republican Party.

[Menthol Patch]

Is this true?!?!

When/where/to whom did he say this?

Link?

He just said it to Wolf in the situation room.

[FreedomGirl]

I heard it on the Situation Room. Is this really true? Has the NH GOP really said that they will withdraw support if Fox doesn't include Ron Paul?

Wow! If this is true, the NH GOP is just awesome! If all of those GOP candidates were as principled, they too would withdraw from the forum. They may claim to be carrying on the Ronald Reagan legacy, but their actions show otherwise. What a bunch of phonies!

"I paid for this microphone!" There was Ronald Reagan trying to include all of the candidates, while Bush sat there like a creepy little bump on a log.

[pacelli]

Dr. Paul is very very smart to have said this on the CNN show. This now puts the pressure on the NH GOP to uphold their word, and makes Fox look terribly bad.

[slantedview]

how did wolf respond, btw?

[Menthol Patch]

Someone please digg this ASAP!

[Menthol Patch]

how did wolf respond, btw?

It was near the end of the interview and I don't think Wolf had time to say anything.

[Just Come Home]

I have more respect for the Republican establisment now... At least the NH GOP. I don't know that they'd have done this in Iowa, but I feel good about this.

[FreedomGirl]

how did wolf respond, btw?

He let it pass. Didn't comment.

[jblosser]

I wish you would have told us!

We said they were going to bat. People didn't believe us. That's as much as we was indicated they wanted said. "Not our project, not our rules".

All I really know is that they told them they'd pull support, Fox said "fine", and they've continued negotiating.

I have been saying on my meetups all week: If Fox decides they want to keep us out (because it's NH, or too close, or because the roundtable format scares them) then they are going to be willing to lose money on it. They know the stakes, they know a Ron Paul win represents something much worse to them than losing some sponsors or support. They're playing for keeps here.

So yell at them if you must, and yeah they'll notice. But really stopping them most likely means going on and winning without their blessing or support, and any time spent yelling at them is time lost reaching voters, and we don't get that back.

yup, I bet when the NH GOP heard RP say that, they went oh sh*t

I really think we can get into the debate. But if we can get the NH GOP to drop their support of the debate I think we can use that as a last minute tool to win NH!

[hawkeyenick]

who wants to take bets now that fox will decide who goes based on the iowa caucus vote?

that would be funny as hell as rudy would be left out!

[Menthol Patch]

yup, I bet when the NH GOP heard RP say that, they went oh sh*t

Now they have to keep their word.

[UtahApocalypse]

Crap!! My Cable was out.... PLEASE TUBE!!

[Jeremy]

Uh... we already knew about this o.0

[Menthol Patch]

Uh... we already knew about this o.0

No we did not.

[FreedomLover]

All the more reason to do well in the iowa caucus!

Prove to fox that they've been messing with the wrong candidate! :)

[RevolutionSD]

Awesome News +10
Chalk One Up For The Good Guys!

[Chester Copperpot]

Yeah! Go Nh Gop!

[PatriotOne]

FOX gets BLOWBACK! Whoot!

Youtube Please Please Please!!!

[Menthol Patch]

We need to make a BIG deal out of this RIGHT NOW!

We can use this as a tool to win NH!
