» Rasmussen Releases Literally Unbelievable Poll
Their latest poll is either a huge blunder or outright fraud.
by James Buchanan

The Rasmussen polling agency claims that Rudy Giuliani, a man who has repeatedly placed in the bottom four, in Republican straw polls, is really the Republican front-runner while Ron Paul who received 81 percent of the vote in the GOP Alabama straw poll and 73 percent in the GOP New Hampshire straw poll has only one percent support. A recent update from Rasmussen claims "The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson on top of the race for the Republican Presidential Nomination. Giuliani earns 24% of the vote from Likely Republican Primary Voters while Thompson is at 22%. Mitt Romney and John McCain are each favored by 13% while Mike Huckabee tops the second tier at 5%."

Ron Paul got NINE PERCENT in the Iowa Straw Poll with its over 14,000 real, live Republican voters. This happened despite Paul being shut out of the debate in Iowa and despite a $35 per ticket charge to vote. Now this should be the absolute minimum, we should be willing to accept from these pollster/propaganda outlets. Meanwhile Rudy Giuliani got ONE PERCENT in the Iowa straw poll. Despite claims that Rudy did not campaign in Iowa, the truth is he spent 26 days touring Iowa in contrast to a mere 17 days by Ron Paul. Who looks like the most viable candidate based on those statistics???

...

It's true the mainstream media is going out of its way censoring Ron Paul news. His recent victories in New Hampshire, Alabama and Washington have all been censored from the headline news sections. But he's being promoted on every political blog in the country. Ron Paul supporters are calling in radio shows and doing everything they can to crack the Media Iron Curtain. Ron Paul supporters are using a variety of creative tactics to reach people on the Internet or to reach people through impromptu street activities. Ron Paul supporters were most recently holding up a large banner on a bridge over the I-5 freeway in Salem Oregon as thousands of motorists drove by. I don't see Giuliani supporters showing this sort of dedication. The first primary is months away, but Ron Paul supporters are so enthusiastic, they are going out on the streets today to promote the best man in the race.

Even funnier is that certain political consultants of Paul's agree that internet polls and technorati search results as an adequate proxy for votes. Can't wait to see some of the conspiracies that come out after the early primary states.
