why?
because he dared to speak truth at a debate? i am convinced that paul should run as an independant. and i feel that if he REALLY wanted to be a serious contender he would run as an independant. he has proven to be a good fundraiser in his own right. i say let's make it a 3 party race. i actually completely agree with paul on most of his positions regarding foreign policy, but nearly completely disagree with his domestic policy positions. too bad we can't get a candidate with a more liberal domestic policy and foreign policy views similar to paul's.... i guess we can't have it both ways...
in reference to the underlined parts, why is this so offensive to the gop establishment??
Ron Paul Not Invited To Republican Jewish Coalition Presidential Candidates Forum

The Republican Jewish Coalition declined to invite Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) to its presidential candidates forum next Wednesday in Washington, citing his "misguided and extreme views."
RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks said Paul was not invited because the organization rejects his views. "He's just so far outside of the mainstream of the Republican party and this organization," he told Washington Jewish Week, adding that inviting him would be like inviting President Barack Obama.
RJC's phone lines were reportedly swamped with complaints over the decision.
At a recent debate, Paul suggested that Israel could take care of itself in the event that it attacked Iran, claiming its undeclared nuclear arsenal made it self-sufficient. "Why does Israel need our help? We need to get out of their way," he said when asked whether he would support an Israeli attack against Iran. If it did happen, "that's their business, but they should suffer the consequences," he added.
Paul supported an amendment that would have ended all U.S. aid to Israel, along with Egypt, Jordan and Pakistan. The U.S. sends about $3 billion per year to Israel in military aid alone.
Paul criticized U.S. military aid to Israel in an Oct. 18 debate. "That foreign aid makes Israel dependent on us," he said. "It softens them for their own economy. And they should have their sovereignty back, they should be able to deal with their neighbors at their own will."
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), former Godfather's Pizza CEO Herman Cain, former House speaker Newt Gingrich, former Utah Gov. Jon Hunstman, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and Texas Gov. Rick Perry have all confirmed that they will attend the event, according to the RJC.

How many? About 12?
it is a shame that paul is getting blacklisted because he proposes cutting off funding to not only israel, but all of our allies in the region. israel has one of the top militaries in the world, they can take care of things themselves and we can spend our billions here are home.
