Although it appears it was the New Hampshire State Republican Party that blocked Paul, we should remember that Fox News doesn't have a kind track record with Ron Paul.
What is interesting is when you consider what brought them to the decision to block Paul. The only reports that I have seen is that Fox News is "scared." But I would like to find a better explanation, USA is the beacon for Democracy in the world, right?

17. I'm sorry, but the conspiratorial lunacy here is really way over the top. Excuse me, but when was Ron Paul ever getting any traction? Now we're supposed to believe that Fox News is trying to rig the NH primary, thus denying Mr. Paul the nomination? Please. Ron Paul has no chance. Alan Keyes and Fred Thompson, ditto.
Let's clear the field of the guys who clearly don't have a chance to win the nomination. I still have no idea who I'm voting for and yes, I have been paying attention. Ron Paul is just a squeaky wheel at this point. He made his point. Time for the hook. Or for that lady to come out and say "You are the weakest link."

18. Saint Anselm, where the debate will be held, had their own Mock Primary and students voted for Ron Paul five times more than Thompson. Ask the students and faculty what they think of Fox's decision...

21. Huckabee is nothing but a crooked Babtist preacher ask the ones from his state . I would never trust him for any thing I have had too many preachers rip me off for money so why should I trust this crook

22. The New Hampshire Republican Party has withdrawn as a partner in the Fox Presidential Forum due to the exclusion of Ron Paul and Duncan Hunter. Yep, it's Fox and the corporate media attempting to silence Dr. Paul.
