Benton told AFP on June 20 that there's even more irony involved here, since Ed Failor, an Iowans for Tax Relief officer, is on the board of the National Taxpayers Union, which has rated Paul, who represents the 14th District of Texas, along with Rep.

On June 19, Campaign Manager Lew Moore called Edward Failor with Iowans for Tax Relief to ask about this matter.
...
"To our shock, Mr. Failor told us Dr. Paul was not invited; he was not going to be invited; and he would not be allowed to participate.
...
And when asked why, Mr. Failor refused to explain.

As AFP reported on the July 2 edition, staffers in Paul's Virginia campaign office at first thought this matter was must an oversight, only to learn June 19 from ITR executive vice president Edward Failor Jr. that Paul was not going to be invited to the debate.

Failor also supported Bush, who has taxed and spent the nation into bankruptcy with the Iraq war, with the massive Medicare prescription drug plan, with the No Child Left Behind Act that put the federal government even deeper into education, and with other boondoggles.

...
On of these strange political life forms is a character named Ed Failor, the grand panjandrum of an equally strange outfit calling itself Iowans for tax Relief.
...
Since then, Failor and Scheffler have received numerous telephone calls from outraged Paul supporters trying to get to the bottom of the anti-Paul campaign.
...
Thus we have the likes of Failor and Scheffler, who have been carefully programmed to say or do anything their puppet-masters desire and to ignore the voters and taxpayers.
