Wow, only 5 for RON PAUL? Has the Big Mean Spam Machine gone awry or basement skinheads don't wake up so early?

This wasn't really Ron's facebook. The "Ron Paul 2012" facebook isn't run by anyone associated with Ron or the campaign. It does have a lot of followers, however, as we've taken over this poll :)
 
I make it my duty to vote against Ron in all these targeted online polls. What is this obsession with winning online polls? like the establishment wont just laugh it off as another meaningless online poll won by Ron Paul. On the other hand, if I happen to stumble to it on my own, I will vote for Ron.

Well, you have a portion of the population that will answer any poll as if it's important, and a portion of the population that hangs up the second they realize that's a computer, not a human, producing that voice at the other end, and a portion of the population who puts forth the message that the results of these computerized polls indicates that no one agrees with the latter and everyone agrees with the former.

And you get sick of it.

Good thing you are a minority on this one... IMHO Hope you do not feel this way about the primaries...

lol, not at all. This attitude is only limited to online polls posted on this forum. I live in Omaha so my primary vote is essentially irrelevant to the grand scheme of things but I will still support Ron Paul in any real life action vote.

Oh, I didn't know it was them, sorry! It was posted at Daily Paul as having been Ron's facebook.

I can see not voting, but voting against is pretty rotten if you do support him. The purpose is the readership. This one I wouldn't have raised except that a DP post made it sound like Ron or someone in his office had actually asked us to, so I was responding to that. If he wants it, and it's easy, why wouldn't you want to give it to him?

But usually it is a matter of the readers of that blog or whatever seeing it. Townhall has one that is actually important because they have a ton of members who see the results, plus they seem to tailor their coverage of politicians in their various publications based on who is winning. What they do NOT do, unfortunately is change the bar code graphic they post on all conservative blogs that perennially shows Ron as about 4th or 5th (but at least he is ON the graphic). He actually came in second in February, and I'd like him to come in first in April. I won't post it right now because I don't want you voting against him.
