GOP leader wants Paul barred from future debates - NewsFlash - mlive.com COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The chairman of the Michigan Republican Party said Wednesday that he will try to bar Ron Paul from future GOP presidential debates because of remarks the Texas congressman made that suggested the Sept. 11 attacks were the fault of U.S. foreign policy.

 

Michigan party chairman Saul Anuzis said he will circulate a petition among Republican National Committee members to ban Paul from more debates. At a GOP candidates’ debate Tuesday night, Paul drew attacks from all sides, most forcefully from former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, when he linked the terror attacks to U.S. bombings.

"Have you ever read about the reasons they attacked us? They attack us because we’ve been over there. We’ve been bombing Iraq for 10 years," Paul said.

Anuzis called the comments "off the wall and out of whack."

"I think he would have felt much more comfortable on the stage with the Democrats in what he said last night. And I think that he is a distraction in the Republican primary and he does not represent the base and he does not represent the party," Anuzis said during an RNC state leadership meeting.

Anuzis is working to get Ron Paul disinvited because he makes people think. and we know that The Party has a problem with thoughtfulness. The most telling comment in this is:

"…he is a distraction in the Republican primary and he does not represent the base and he does not represent the party

 he does not represent the Party or the base.

 Base. an interesting word. In Elizabethan English. If you were "base" you were ‘common’ low, reprehensible, cowardly, selfish, mean. but perhaps the The GOP is all of that. Is indeed base.
