Robotrolling For Paul
Captain's Quarters ^ | Jan. 22, 2008 | Ed Morrissey

Posted on 01/22/2008 10:22:08 AM PST by jdm

I just received a strange polling call. Without any announcement of who or what prompted the call, a robopoll looking for my presidential preference asked me to select from the slate of Republican candidates. After answering the single question, it disconnected me. No demographic questions were asked, and no explanation of the poll's sponsor was given even at the end.

I checked out my caller-ID, which gave the following phone number: 877-766-7285. That takes callers to the Ron Paul for President Campaign call center. I guess we know what Paul does with the donations he received.

It's curious, though, that they'd use this kind of polling. How can they determine the reliability of the data? It seems to me the only use this has is to identify people they can hit up for donations later -- a very expensive way to do it, too. I've heard of robopolling, but this is the first time I've experienced robotrolling.

Ron Paul polls are BS. Only RP Moonies believe them.

I’m no Ron Paul fan but it is easy to spoof a number on caller ID. Just saying...

I think RuPaul may be the least dangerous of all the candidates left.

He’d never get his bullshiite passed, but he wouldn’t try to enact higher taxes, socialized medicine.

If you take the moonbat crap away from him, he matches up with Conservative viewpoints better than any of the “leftovers”.

There’s that, and then there’s the nation security policy in line with DU and Kos..

Which makes him, IMHO, the most dangerous.
