He is being excluded because he refuses to walk the line of his party, gawking like a chicken at the wonders of war and theocracy, while the Republicans themselves fail to realize those are the reasons that Bush's approval ratings are in the 20's right now, and he is right on course to pass Truman as the most unpopular president ever.
Ron Paul's message of liberty is closer to old Goldwater Republicanism, back when Republicans favored fiscal responsibility, small government, and anti-interventionism. The neo-cons of today are all about war, spending lots of money (in ways Clinton never dreamed of) and writing byzantine new laws and calling it free markets. People are tired of war, and their tired of politicians and their corporate buddies. The Republicans don't have a chance if they decide to run one of the "electable" candidates like Giuliani or Romney.

There is a minimum support rating you must have to be included in debates. And the mimum was raised back when Ross Perot ran and did well the first time so they raised the minimum on him the next election and he couldnt get in the debates.
I cant remember what the percentage is though.

The GOP neo-cons have been trying to exclude Ron Paul from day one. They really hate to have someone in the debate who follows our constitution instead of following Bush.

You mean "too" conservative. No, I think its because he's polling "to" low, less than 1%.
I could care less if he attends, but the invitation should be extended, at least to shut up the tinfoil hat crowd.

I'm sorry to say that the political elite in the USA will not allow anyone who does not comply with their narrow views to be heard

I hope he drops out. Anyone who wants to get rid of the Federal Reserve should never be president. That scares the crap out of me!
That guy needs to take a macro economics class! College level.
