It’s about freaking time.
The Iowa Republican Party put out an advisory Tuesday setting standards for
participation in a Dec. 4 debate it is sponsoring with Fox News. The phone has
been ringing off the hook ever since.That’s because the sponsors said participants need to average 5% support
among Republicans in recent national or Iowa polls — and so far, Texas Rep. Ron
Paul is one of the candidates not making the cut.
Of course the PaulBots went into action:
News of the party’s decision and how to protest it was spread quickly over
the Internet by supporters of the anti-war, anti-tax, anti-abortion libertarian.
“We are getting bombarded” with calls and e-mails from Paul’s supporters, said
GOP spokeswoman Mary Tiffany. She said there were 25 voice mails from angry Paul
supporters before the start of business Thursday.“I’m all about the First Amendment, but at the same time, how is this
productive?” she asked. “They need to start calling voters and start
door-knocking instead of calling the Republican Party of Iowa.”
Tancredo and Hunter will be out of the debate also, as it should be, at least until they can do better then 4%. Just like the lady said, if they have a problem with it they should be bugging the voters, not the people who put on the debate.
Course we all know the PaulBots will be in full swing spamming every site imaginable until they get their way.
