Gives those 3 spammers in their mother's basements something to do.

We're used to winning and hopefully makes a point.

How did McCain win with 78% of the vote last week? I looked at it at the end of the week and Paul was like 40%, if I remember right.

[hawaiisb]

46% and voted.

Straw polls are good for composting. What we need is to clean out the White House.
The Provost Marshal has the authority to do that.

It doesn't matter at all. It's a joke, stop acting like this amounts to anything other than getting your own internet ego up guys. This doesn't have anything to do with anything.

[TheTyke]

I kinda disagree. The fact that we keep gaining so much shows something happens. I've seen posts like "Paul is looking better and better to me lately."

I'd say it's not worth a huge amount of time, but it only takes a second to vote. Keep it up, 47%!

The reason why I think things like this are slightly useful is because it does give more publicity to Ron Paul. If democrats who go there to vote for Hillary or Obama decide to look at the Republican side of the votes they'll see Ron Paul has almost as much support for McCain and it could cause them to look up Ron Paul to see why he is so appealing to people since theyve heard barely anything of him from the mass media. Same thing can happen for blind McCain supporters who think that theres only about 5% of the population that support a "radical nut" and this may intrigue them enough to check out otherwise.

Exactly, we need to exploit any mass media venue we can to show the public what the revolution has to offer. If we could get 50k RP supporters to hammer that poll we would make some waves.

For some reason the poll isn't showing RP right now, and has everything blacked out.

here is what it looks like on my comp. Is anyone else seeing this?

[Danke]

Same on mine. RP is black and you can't see his name.

[Kevin_Kennedy]

By voting for Dr. Paul I apparently voted for "undefined."

[Malakai0]

Yes, I voted for Ron and it came up "undefined".

LOL do they ever NOT cheat on these things =(


It also said "Total Votes Cast: 0".


I'm not too mad though because if they didn't cheat they wouldnt be able to publish their results with mccain at 75%.

[Sandra]

Same here. Blacked out. Doesn't AOL think that people notice?
