It’s true. It’s the same thing they do in every straw poll. Just like I was saying here. They want to paint actually bothering to vote in straw polls as some kind of “fix”. O’dumbass keeps saying “they slammed the polls”…
Even when he describes what that is supposed to mean it still sounds like he’s saying that people were encouraged to go vote. In fact, that’s exactly what he’s saying. He said so himself. He’s saying a group of individuals went around online and elsewhere and told people to vote for a certain candidate. He’s saying people were canvassing supporters to participate and influence a (mock) election by casting a vote. Some people might even say “campaigning” took place.
Call me naive, but I kind of thought that’s what elections were all about. He wants to claim results are “skewed” because people who supported a certain candidate made it a point to go cast their vote, and told their friends and neighbors to do the same. Again, is that what happened in 2008? Obama didn’t really win the election, he just “severely skewed the results” because his people were told to flood the polls?
They really will try anything to bring this man down. And just as I was saying here, Justin T. P. Quinn notes in this excellent piece (I mean it…it’s excellent. Read it.):
“[Ron Paul’s supportors] are the paragon of what the ideal political activist would be. They are arguably the only true grassroots activists in existence right now. They don’t wait for direction or leadership from Ron Paul himself. Rather, inspired by Paul’s ideals, they act on their own. Nothing else in history comes close to what they’ve accomplished.”
And consistantly making Paul a landslide winner in virtually every straw vote and online poll is just one example of those actions they take. And the people who enjoy the status quo are desperately doing anything they can to paint him and his supporters negatively. We really are winning something here.
