PAUL: In an unfair move, Iowans for Tax Relief have decided to exclude Congressman Ron Paul from their GOP Presidential forum next week in Des Moines. Ed Failor Jr., VP of the group, offered the weak excuse that they did not invite Paul because he was not a "credible" candidate. Paul does not yet have an Iowa HQ, although his campaign is currently trying to fill two full-time staff positions in the state. The group, however, invited second tier hopefuls Mike Huckabee, Tommy Thompson, Sam Brownback, Duncan Hunter, and Tom Tancredo. If there is one issue upon which Paul -- "Doctor No" -- has been most vocal during his many years in Congress, it is his strident opposition to any and all taxes. To denounce Paul as a non-credible candidate while inviting Hunter, Tancredo and Tommy Thompson -- all generally tied with him in the polls -- smacks of disingenuousness on behalf of the group's leadership. Shame on them.
