GOP Debate Columbia SC
Author: Michael Kraft
Fox may leave the best of the field of canidates off the bill in the upcoming debate of GOP candidates in Columbia, SC on May 15th, 2007.
A few of our favorites are already likely not invited due to not holding enough of a voting interest. Ron Paul, who understands border security, Tom Tancredo who is the sould of America protecting its borders against criminal fence jumpers and 3rd border security voice Duncan Hunter are all likely to be left out of the debate in Columbia.
“Rep. Ron Paul of Texas wants to bring American troops back from Iraq, having opposed the war from the outset. He’s also a Republican candidate for president – possibly the most contrarian in the field of 10 – and he may be excluded from a forthcoming GOP candidate debate.
The same could apply to Rep. Duncan Hunter of California, the ranking Republican and past chairman of the House Armed Services Committee during most of the war on terror.
Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado, one of the strongest voices in the House on border security; former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee; former national GOP chairman and Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore; and former cabinet secretary and Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson may also be left out.
Even Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas, a leading voice for social conservatives, could be on the fence.
All of these candidates hover around one percent in most national polls. That’s the cutoff point for would-be participants in a May 15 debate in Columbia, S.C., according to the Fox News Channel, which is broadcasting the debate and co-sponsoring it with the South Carolina Republican Party. ”
