vote on Pajamas Media Poll Ron Paul is barely ahead of FT

[LastoftheMohicans]

Please voteon Pajamas Media (http://www.pajamasmedia.com Poll. Ron Paul had a commanding lead but now he is only up by about 90 votes (3%). I know a lot of people don't like the neocons at Pajamas, but it would be nice for them to have to report Ron Paul as the winner.

Nope.

They'll get no traffic from me after the shit they pulled.

Let their site - and pocketbooks - suffer as a result.

Free market rules.

 

[LastoftheMohicans]

Fair Enough. I understand completely.

Pajamas Media has lost ALL respect in my book. They are a shill group that will be used to "prove" Fred Thompson's strong internet revolution; which will be purely a facade.

Pajamas Media has lost ALL respect in my book. They are a shill group that will be used to "prove" Fred Thompson's strong internet revolution; which will be purely a facade.

Here's their proof, and it's hard to refute it:

Fred Thompson (Republican) and Bill Richardson (Democrat) continue to ride high in the poll. Thompson has not yet declared…

This written right next to the poll results showing Paul leading Thompson by 8 points and leading the nearest actual candidate by 36 points. I'm confused – those numbers make it look like Paul is riding especially high, but they sure seem confident that it is in fact Thompson. Who am I to believe?!?

 

[DjLoTi]

lol. Who knows.

Hmmm, where do they go? Or, perhaps more to the point, where do they come from?

 

[CJLauderdale4]

oh crap!!
We're avoiding this poll like the plague, and Ron is still killing everyone!!

Time to drink your Kool-Aid - swallow real good and say: "Fred Thompson is Internet-saavy!" Again, now....

 

[austinphish]

Don't even bother with that poll. It is not worth supporting that website. Who really cares about online polls anyways? Who is going to stand up and lead us to victory in Iowa?

Lets not freak out about Fred Thompson yet folks. After all people who are currently labeling him as the "true conservative" dont yet know his stance on anything really, other than he "looks strong on camera". Once they see his real policy, im confident that people who actually check his stance on issues will realize hes just like Mitt Romney, and his support will drop. If his support doesnt drop, it will be because of the mindless robots who just vote for who FOX news tells them to vote for. Besides, Ron Paul is the only anti Iraq republican running, so the rest of the pack can split the war mongering vote between them, and paul will get the pro freedom/ anti Iraq war vote, which is very good for him. Remember, Ron Paul has been in politics for a long time, and hes no dummy when considering the things I've mentioned above. He is using this to his advantage. Not to mention the fact that I dont think people will really want someone like Fred that has incurable cancer being the president when it comes down to actually voting for him.

I think that's the point - they don't exist.

 

[Stinker]

Won't they just pull him from the poll again? Why bother?

 

[LibertyCzar]

The point is that Ron Paul is there now. Ron Paul himself would declare this to be a positive sign. I too get discouraged, but he is never discouraged, regardless. He just says we don't need as much time and attention. Ron Paul is truly an inspiration.

Incidently, this poll has been cited on Digg. Please be sure to Digg this poll result before it is buried. I doubt the ant-Ron Paul types would like to see Ron Paul at the top of a poll.

I posted my vote more than a week ago

Ron Paul was running way ahead and the headline was about Fred Thompson leading the poll as an undeclared. It was like seeing a big elephant in the room.

I think the Neo-Con bloggers just assumed that Ron Paul supporters had spammed the vote.

The funny thing is, spamming the vote is more suited to their ideology.

I think it's important to mention that the official campaign put out a MySpace bulletin asking us specifically *not* to vote in the LGF polls. They're using Ron to drive their Alexa ratings back up - that's all.

Ron Paul is back in the Pajamas Media poll and is again winning - overwhelmingly

BUT......................

PLEASE Do NOT vote in the Pajamas Media poll !!!

This poll doesn't matter anymore, the fussing, rule-writing and hand-wringing by Pajamas Media drove away all interest their poll. (and credibility)

After claiming some sort of bizarre conspiracy when Ron Paul won their straw poll in February, Pajamas Media declared Rudy Giuliani the winner.

They proudly claimed that they fixed their "spamming" issue and all was well. The only problem is, Ron Paul also won that weeks poll - overwhelmingly!

How did Pajamas Media respond this time? They completely removed Ron Paul's name from the next week's poll.

Since then PJM has continued to (unsuccessfully) accuse Ron Paul supporters of cheating.

Now, it seems the website can not survive without Ron Paul supporters!

<snip chart>

It was all a very weird, very unnecessary lesson in how trying to control an online community eventually brings on extinction, or at least dwindling popularity.

I don't see this ending well for Pajamas Media...

The polls that matter are the ones on cnn.com or other big media. They have far greater numbers. Once people see Ron, they will vote for him.
