Umm, that’s not exactly correct, Miss Vickie. Here’s the straight dope:

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – According to the New Hampshire State Republican Party and an Associated Press report, Republican presidential candidate and Texas Congressman Ron Paul will be excluded from an upcoming forum of Republican candidates to be broadcast by Fox News on January 6, 2008.

This is being done by FOX, not by the GOP. Note well:

Fergus Cullen, Chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party issued this news release:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Date: December 31, 2007

NH REPUBLICANS: DON’T LIMIT DEBATE PARTICIPANTS

CONCORD – New Hampshire Republican Party Chairman Fergus Cullen releases the following statement regarding primary weekend debates:

“Limiting the number of candidates who are invited to participate in debates is not consistent with the tradition of the first in the nation primary. The level playing field requires that all candidates be given an equal opportunity to participate – not just a select few determined by the media prior to any votes being cast.”

“Therefore, the New Hampshire Republican Party calls upon all media organizations planning pre-primary debates or forums for both parties to include all recognized major candidates in their events.”

“The New Hampshire Republican Party has notified FOX News of our position, and we are in ongoing discussions with FOX News about having as many candidates as possible participate in the forum scheduled for January 6.”

And lastly, do you really think that the MSM news networks will be able to bar Paul in future debates after he finishes a close 3rd in Iowa behind a tied/very close race between Huckabee and Romney?

If they try that, the people won’t allow it. And it’ll only make Paul stronger.

Keep whislting past the graveyard, Vickie …

Victoria (160): Fyne Jr. Your last sentence is a WINNER!

Frank: VICTORIA: Hilarious, considering you haven’t a clue to what FJ is referring.

Fyne Jr.: So, just what was that Q you asked me … what, two years ago? … to which I replied “I’ll get to it when I get to it”?

Seriously. I’ll give it a shot answering it …

Even if there is no statute of limitations, it would take dramatic evidence to reopen the investigation. While I would be hesitant to defend Hillary, I don’t think she can be convicted on the evidence presented by conspiracy theorists.

I don’t think there was any mystery about Vince Foster. As I recall, everyone said Hillary did it, and Ken Starr dropped the ball. Do you deny it? Rembember, there is no statute of limitations. She’s still a murderess. If it was outrageous then, it is outrageous now.

This list is for investigations that occurred in 2007. Vince Foster’s death was mysterious and certainly deserved further investigation but it was many years ago.

Revised list:
1. Bush and Cheney – $1 trillion Iraq War, $3 billion in oil profits, 4000 American lives
2. Feinstein – $billions to her husband’s company
3. Pelosi – $25 million
4. Senator Harry Reid – $1 million+
5. Hillary Clinton – $800,000
6. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani – $600,000+
7. Jefferson – $400,000+ (was seeking as much as $10 million)
8. I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby – $250,000 fine
9. Governor Mike Huckabee – $70,000
10. Senator Barack Obama – $60,000
11. Rep. John Conyers – misuse of government staff as personal servants

Are you giving Hillary a pass on the murder of Vince Foster?

George Bush: billions and billions
–He associated with Jack Abramoff in the White House (far more intimately than Hillary associated with Norman Hsu, whose crimes didn’t include illegal fundraising for Hillary). Abramoff’s crimes involved Bush officials and dozens of lawmakers and staffers.
–He commuted the prison sentence of #7 on the list to stop him from singing in jail.
–War profiteering and billions of lost and unaccounted money.
–Bush directed Alberto Gonzales to fire the US attorney who prosecuted Rep. Duke Cunningham for corruption.

Alberto Gonzales
–False prosecution of Gov. Seligman
