On Excluding Ron Paul

Re Tom Woods’s Excluding Ron Paul LRC piece today — Tom is on the road so called me to ask me to post the following for him:

Ed Failor of Iowans for Tax Relief called Woods this morning, livid about Woods’s LRC piece. Sailor denied having lied–he says Duncan Hunter was among the original invitees but had not responded in the alloted time. Therefore, when Gilmore dropped out, they went back to Hunter.

Tom is not altogether convinced by this explanation. If the Hunter people hadn’t responded in time, and since we now know Ron Paul is a far more “credible candidate” (than Hunter), why not give Paul the chance Hunter passed up?

That he called Tom at all probably means his office is being absolutely overwhelmed by Ron Paul supporters–keep it up!Update: A little birdie sent me this:

BUSTED! ED FAILOR, WHO EXCLUDED RON PAUL FROM THE IOWANS FOR TAX RELIEF DEBATE, WORKS FOR JOHN MCCAIN CAMPAIGN AS SENIOR ADVISOR!

In addition, he’s a financial supporter of McCain:
