Ron Paul excluded from another debate

[Kade]

Many (perhaps most) of the folks at ScienceBlogs are very hostile to Dr. Paul, so I'm not surprised. I used to visit this site daily, but stopped entirely a few months back when they started attacking him on the newsletters and Dr. Paul's stance on evolution. The bloggers there are overwhelmingly liberal democrats (with a couple of libertarian types mixed in).

But to exclude the only candidate that actually HAS some expertise in this area, is beyond disgusting.

You are now entering a very personal realm of attack to which I take great offense. Most of them are leftist libertarian and anti-theocracy. They disagree with Ron Paul on two major issues, his stance on separation of church and state and his stance on evolution. I know many of these people personally, and some were my colleagues and professors. You don't know them, so shut it. Again, I emphasize that you probably don't want Ron Paul in this debate...

I can get Ron Paul on this debate, but do you really want him there?

They are going to reem holes so large in McHuckleberry that goatse would be embarrassed. You really don't want to be in this debate... you really don't want allow Ron Paul to embarrass himself more on basic science...

I sort of agree with this. Let Huck embarrass himself.

As long as Paul is invited to the CNN/MSNBC debates I wont be too worried.

I wish I could go against them in an evolution debate. I'd kick all their asses.
However, I think Ron Paul would do fine, because he wouldn't "debate" them per se, as just say how people are free to believe what they want and nobody should be forcing anyone to believe one theory over another. Let the people, the free market, and education (once the Dept. of Education is gone) work it out.

Just because people don't agree with him, that doesn't give them the right to blacklist him.

That is going to be a long shot...

McCain has NOTHING to gain from debating the Huckster and has everything to LOSE by debating Ron Paul.

I hope it happens, but I think we may have seen our last GOP debate with Ron Paul.

General Election Debate is our best hope.

 

[BrettCates]

This is Ron Paul we're talking about. He will school the DEMS AND GOP together in one room. THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO EXPOSE THEM TOGETHER. Fuck your illuminati worshiping professors.

 

[billjarrett]

Nothing wrong with getting him invited. I think he is grown up enough he can decide if it's in his best interests to go or not.

 

[literatim]

Its funny they of all people excluded him since Paul keeps winning the atheist vote at all the polls.

Is science the doctrine of atheists or something? What does science have to do with religion?

Okay, I heard from one of the organizers that Ron Paul has not been excluded from this debate and his campaign is well aware of that fact. If he is not there, he turned it down on his own.

You are batshit. Get an education you conspiracy theorist whackjob.

This debate isn't even scheduled to occur. None of the candidates have agreed to attend. I don't know if this is even a real story.

Science has everything to do with religion. Because religion wants to dictate science, and because it makes claims about the natural world, like Human Origins, and when life begins... the question of whether or not a white bearded god exist or not is, in essence, a science question, that deserves serious consideration since it is being used, most notably by Huckabee, to churn an army of uninformed citizens into a sizable voting block of ignorance.


And no, Ron Paul is not winning the atheist vote anymore, thanks to you asshats on these forums. Whoever told you that is lying to you.

It's scheduled only if at least one candidate elects to show up... so far none have... Ron Paul has not been excluded.

""Viable candidates" is defined as candidates who have a mathematical chance of becoming president, and who show a minimum 15% support level in the most recent national poll averages as published by RealClearPolitics.com. If at the time of the debate an invited candidate has withdrawn or is no longer viable by the above definition, they will not participate. If a new viable candidate emerges before the debate, he or she will be invited."

Where is your heart?

Do you know that this fight for hearts and minds is about more than Ron Paul.

Dr. Paul is a great man. By his attitude and by his motive and by his action. I could never reach him. But my respect is extreme. So he set a course.

I follow it. I the future I will be one of many that carries it when he is gone.

Today I will fight!!!!!!!

To borrow a term from our less secular brethren of Freedom, "Amen."

Any evidence for this other than speculation? Sadly, the stigma against atheism is so entrenched I didn't realize there could be an 'atheist vote'. While the Brights, humanists, and other secularist organizations are struggling to change this imbalance, people in America are far too religious for an 'atheist vote' to seemingly be of much relevance.

I call a crock, it's not like he could afford to miss out on any type of exposure whatsoever. So if only one candidate were to show up, would he / she debate with itself?
