Thread: Ron Paul Wins Nevada Republican Assembly Straw Poll

Ron Paul supporters are spamming many polls like this by sending link's to this poll to several spots on the web, urging people to go vote for Paul. The end result is the same, the poll results are skewed, and it's not an accurate measure.

And tell me please, is it not possible for the other candidates to do this also, or can only Ron Paul supporters do this.

Maybe the other candidates supporters haven't learned how to use a computer yet? DUH!!!!

How's that for a reasonable response.

Check out this article, it can shed some light on the discrepancies.

There's no spamming going on. What I think happens is that Ron Paul's supporters are very young people, very tuned into the internet, and are more likely to go to the online polls and engage in text messaging polling than the supporters of other candidates, who in general may be somewhat older people who aren't on the internet all of the time. Also, the passion of Ron Paul supporters, in general, is higher than that of most of the supporters of the other candidates, so Ron Paul's supporters will be more likely to seek out online polls, etc.

Anecdotally, I think that I am correct about the passion, because around MD and northern VA, the only signs I see are for Ron Paul, and the only signwavings that i see are for Ron Paul (I was in one tonight, after I got off of work).

So, that's what's going on. We've finally found someone who we are excited about. There's alot of us, but not huge numbers yet, obviously. Just don't give up on your beliefs. If you're a Ron Paul supporter, vote for Ron Paul. If you're a Mitt Romney supporter, I hate to say it, but vote for Mitt Romney. If you're an Obama supporter, vote for him. Don't let what the media tells you or the latest poll numbers get you down. If you believe in something, and you know in your heart that it feels right, then go out and support the person you like and vote for them.

Well, I can't say as I'm surprised at the tone of posts from Greg and usanevada, or at the glaring inaccuracies being posted by Mr. usa.

Or maybe this one???

Although he has introduced a bill in Congress to end birthright citizenship, I would double-dog DARE YOU to post ONE SINGLE QUOTE where Ron Paul has made that promise!

C'mon usanevada, you can back this crap up, right???

I think Obama and Paul are both doing well because of young voters.

I read this... not sure if it's the same

from www.ronpaul2008.com
“It is an outrage that waiters, waitresses, and other service-sector employees have to pay taxes on the tips they earn.â€

That plainly states that in his opinion it is WRONG to tax tips, it does NOT say that

"he is promising casino workers he will stop the IRS from taking their tips."

There is quite a bit of difference between an opinion and a promise, at least where I went to school.

To hear some tell it Ron Paul is the biggest threat ever to America - but when that is debunked it's 'well, the president has no power' so he can't do anything.

Yeah, there seems to be a lot of flip-flopping among a certain candidate's supporters, as well.

Birds of a feather

Ok...
from the rest of the page


I have introduced H.R. 3664 in Congress to end this problem. The Tax Free Tips Act of 2007 will exempt tips from federal income and payroll taxes. Ending taxes on tips will give workers an immediate pay raise, letting them keep more money to put toward things like a house or car payment, their retirement, or their own and/or their children's education.

When you give someone a tip, you should not have to simultaneously tip the federal government.

Sounds like he is making an effort..
But it dose not say it's a promis

Not definding anybody just showing what I have seen
