You must not have read what I posted. I'm not a Ron Paul supporter, but I know they're here and they Freep all the polls.

It really doesn't matter what the question asked might be either ~ they hit Paul's name.

You go back through all the polls ever asked and drop Fred out and you'll find yourself looking at a remarkable number of Paul supporters ~ and that's because they Freep the polls.

These are not legitimate polls ~ they are statistically meaningless.

That's one reason I'm glad the polls here distinguish between member and non-member votes.

It doesn't make them scientific, but the members' polls have been fairly reflective of the opinion displayed in forum.

Here is the first statement you made “Several weeks ago comparable polls had Freepers supporting Ron Paul OVERWHELMINGLY.” When I asked you what poll you were quoting you said this poll “(12/12) Which GOP presidential hopeful did the best job of advancing his chances in today’s debate?” which is not a who do you support poll like the thread is about.

As far as FR polls being spammed. I don’t think that’s possible in our polls. At least on the member side. I’m fully aware of the Paulestinians tactics of spamming polls. I apologize if I called you one and you are not.
