Maybe you need to get out the reading glasses, gramps. There is nothing in the article you posted indicating that Ron Paul was going to sue anyone about anything.

He was never excluded by ABC, so why would he have sued?

He is being excluded by Fox, but he not suing anyone.

Is it a full moon?

I corrected myself earlier, it was Kucinich.

As for the rest...Ill let RPM spin away.  He seems to think he knows everything.  I'll just sit back and watch him continue to make an idiot of himself.  He's on an anti Foxnews troll...an he seems to think i own the company or something.  He's a kook.

the doctor educating the people has become real thorn in the side for the neocons and their propaganda press... and the turncoat whiners were also wrong yet again.

Well, if Rudy is being included and RP excluded it's clear Fox is trying to manipulate the election. Fair and balanced, huh?

Rudy has been polling near the top NATIONALLY for most of a year---and, RP...hasn't. Rudy is putting his money in FLA, as he rightly concluded a buncha religous, country folks in IOWA aren't gonna vote for a pro-abortion New York Mayor who is on his 3rd wife. and I don't know WHY any GOP people put effort into NH, as the results mean little nationally, other than in the media.

I'm starting to think I want Obama to win--I think we could stand 4 years of whatever this idiot could do to the country, in return for being able to declare that RACISM IS OVER!

I don't know..  I guess if you took the national polls and then took into consideration how paul did in iowa...  

Then I guess fox is just playing the numbers.   I think that they are making a mistake tho since ron paul would be good ratings.. good sound bites..   but.. they used a formula that they think is fair and works out the best.

They think thompson has a better chance than paul.

I would also add that a lot of the republicans are looking at thompson as a vice pres.   I am pretty sure that no one is looking at paul as a possible vice pres.

I think that you guys are just wound up too much on this.

I agree

Yah Paul WOULD make for good ratings---you always tend to want to hear him when he speaks...Newt is the only other one who does that for me...I had hopes for Fred, but he is about done...I'm afraid it's gonna be McCain or Rudy or the hick....

LePaul, you just can't stand that your holy grail of media is actually a biased source trying to manipulate the election the same way as it has manipulated the news.

If ABC excludes RP from it's debate and includes Rudy, then it is just as guilty of manipulation. I had to work tonight so I did not get to watch the debate. Was RP on stage?

This may just backfire on the media. When voters see the media deliberately including candidates that out polled others being excluded I'm sure there will be a backlash.

This is not a .05% candidate being cut out. This is a candidate that garnered 3 times as many votes as one that is being invited.

Face it, Faux News is just as biased as your other so called "liberal media". Hurts to face the cold hard facts, does'nt it?

Last nights debate wasn't the Republican only debate that this article talked about. The one RP is excluded from will be on tonight I believe but I'm not 100%.

The one that was on ABC last night did have Ron Paul but as luck would have it I turned it on, just in time to see the Republicans walking off the stage. (there is a god)

I watched the "forum". It was a Romney love fest, despite the fact that Romney wasn't all that impressive. I was even less impressed with Huckabee. Fox didn't do themselves any favor in the credibility department, they looked near as bad as CNN or MSNBC. Paul would not have done well there even if he had been there. They'd have treated him just as poorly as they did Thompson, if not worse.

[Yeager]

The only problem I have with Ron Paul is that he is Texan.

[LePaul]

Oh now look, you are forgetting...somehow Foxnews is the devil...(see how rpm ignores whatever "outrage" he has for them, completely ignoring ABC's ignoring of a candidate)....and somehow, he feels I worship Foxnews....so again, somehow, he thinks he's shown me something

LOL

You hit the nail on the head. The two have nothing to do with one another.

Who cares two hoots if CNN is liberal biased, or Fox News is conservative biased?  If you don't like it, change the channel.  If you don't like what's on the other channel ~ turn the TV off. [...]

My problem with that is the airwaves are controlled by the FCC, and Cable is corporate controlled.   It's not the internet, and us 'elites' that are privileged to have Internet access are not everyone.

The government controls the media completely.  Or you could say the media controls the government completely.  When they are so closely linked, it works both ways.  

If I try to power up an antennae and broadcast, the FCC would be all over me like a wardrobe malfunction.  I consider broadcasting free speech, as much as publishing a book.  I'm not sure how anyone can believe a system like this is American in spirit.  At least on the Internet I'm free... but today, in this country, you have to be able to afford freedom.  In other words freedom is for the rich (aristocracy).

I hope it's a Paul vs. Obama race.   Anything but the status quo.  I liked my country better when a farm boy became president, instead of a rich boy. (or girl hopefully soon {not Hillary tho}.

I've never considered Fox news to be without bias. It just happens that their bias coincides with mine. I do find it manipulative that they excluded Ron Paul and the session after the "forum" last night seemed to be bent in favor of Mitt Romney. While I am disappointed in these I am certainly not surprised. Fortunately, Al Gore's invention makes it pretty tough to dominate the populace with propaganda.
