Why is the Ron Paul Campaign Touting Suspicious Polling?
The Right Sphere ^ | 8/19/2011 | Tommy Harris

Over the past few days, some polls have been floating around showing Ron Paul beating Texas Governor Rick Perry and the entire field in the state of Texas for the GOP nomination. This is surprising because, even though Ron Paul is from Texas, there has (to my knowledge) never been a poll that wasn’t either a straw poll or some other non-scientific survey showing him leading the GOP race at any time. I then saw that Ron Paul himself tweeted a blog post that linked to the poll in question.

I already had some suspicions about this poll, so I decided to do a little digging. The poll was conducted by Azimuth Research Group and says that Ron Paul is leading Rick Perry in the State of Texas by a margin of 22%-17%.

If you call it a fake poll, you are just a RINO who hates freedom, liberty, and the Constitution. I bet you don’t even want to admit that 9/11 was an inside job. Don’t you know that DR RON PAUL delivered over one billion babies. He was there at the signing of Constitution so he is the only one who knows its secrets.

Liberty, Constitution, 9/11, Alex Jones, Liberty, Liberty, Liberty, Shut Up, I win the debate.

To the headline: Paul supporters spout all kinds of suspicious stuff, it’s what they do it’s who they are.

Paultards never saw a poll they wouldn’t spam, tweak, or try and slip up their own bung hole.

Ron Paul doesn’t need to spam polls, he lets OFA do it for him.

Good question. And Why is the Ron Paul Campaign Touting Nasty Campaign Ads about Who has Had Sex with Rick Perry?

Libertarians.

Ronnie Paul has an army of people sitting in their parents' basements spamming every poll they can in between their Taco Bell and Starbucks shifts.

Then there are the ones who get their entries paid to spam straw polls.

When the results come out, they puff up with pride and go around taunting everyone that their cult-leader is going to win the nomination.

They're hilarious, really.

Gez, First CavTommy.

Go buy yourself an ice cream cone, sober up, come back and see what you wrote.

Maj. Gen., Heap Big Chief, No. 1 & 2 Braveheart, The Great Seer and the Unequaled and Positive Lord of the entire Universe, the BIG POOBAH, Ron Paul, is not accepted too well around here.

But make your best pitch; we’re all eternally curious and our ears are mounted on eternal radar.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.........

I watched Ron Paul folks break rule after rule 4 years ago at the Iowa Straw Poll. This year they must have laid the law down to him, because it wasnt as bad. He is stil a scofflaw in my book.
