Fox News Should Ban Giuliani From Debates, and Include Ron Paul Brent Budowsky By any standards of participation in debates, Fox News should take Rudy Giuliani out, and put Ron Paul in. There are two obvious standards for inclusion versus exclusion in debate, first the number of real voters in a real state vote, and second the amount of real money donated by real people to the campaigns. In Iowa, the only real state that has voted so far, Ron Paul kicked Rudy's butt in the voting. In campaign fundraising, Ron Paul appears set to kick Rudy's butt again. In my view, Rudy, Ron Paul and Kucinich should all be included. But if Fox News insists on playing the censor of democracy, Paul should be in, Rudy should be out.
Otherwise, Fox should be forced to declare the expense of their debates to the FEC as campaign contributions. If Giuliani ever does better in a primary or caucus than he did in Iowa, he could then be brought back into the debates. Fair enough?
