RSSLOL! Ron Paul Supporters DEMAND I Reopen Poll!
J.J. Jackson* | May 21, 2007
This is absolutely RICH! Since the publication of my article last week about how people would be more likely to support a candidate like Ron Paul who was more supportive of and understanding why we went to war (and yes it is “war”) with Iraq while leaving his position on spending, etc unchanged, the Paulites are DEMANDING that I reopen the poll which supported this conclusion!I won’t say how many emails have been received, only that there are certainly enough and they are pissed apparently that they did not get a chance to vote!
So I’ll respond here, publicly.
See, the beauty of the poll was that it wasn’t tainted. There weren’t legions of people being directed here just to vote in the poll one way or another. I tracked referrers very closely for the week the poll was up just to make sure because I wanted to make sure that there were not sites either FOR or AGAINST Ron Paul funneling their members here to vote.
And what the Ron Paul supporters want to do now apparently is have a concerted effort to spike the poll in their favor.
Sorry guys and gals. It ain’t gonna happen!
I know there are currently Ron Paul supporters that are monitoring this site based on IP tracking and previous comments and that they are just waiting for anything negative about their candidate to be posted. Amazing what you can do with technology eh?

Oh you are just enjoying poking these folks with a big stick aren’t you
I’m curious, why not just stop mentioning Ron Paul altogether? I’m sure you get many visitors from a Google news/blog search, and if you stopped mentioning him, the site would drop off the list for that particular search.
Sure, it would drop the traffic to the site a bit, but that would be a small price to pay if you hate the candidate and the email from his supporters.
Some of them sure are funny.
Mike, you are apparently either not paying attention to what Jeff has said or just being ignorant.
He has said, on many occations, that he is a huge fan of Ron Paul’s politics 99% of the time. Just that he is incorrect on the Iraq War.
If you don’t like that he is reporting on the happenings and new about the site then don’t worry about it.

Which is exactly why I keep talking about how insane some of those that are supporting him are. Somehow they think they can just demand whatever they like because they want to influence an outcome they didn’t like and even hurl a couple “you’re just a neo-con fascist” slurs when ever they feel like it.
My blog Mike, you don’t like it … quite frankly I don’t care. Nor do I take kindly to people suggesting what I do and do not post here.
I think, frankly, that it is important to discuss these issues because they go to a certain character of a certain segment of people.
Jeff Said: “I think, frankly, that it is important to discuss these issues because they go to a certain character of a certain segment of people.”
We appreciate it too. Regardless of what some may say. And we know damn well that if you stopped talking about Paul and his supporters they would just claim that you were shutting him out ; even though you agree with him on, like PM said, 99%.
I find stuff like this very fascinating. It makes me wonder what kind of people demand a poll be reopened just so they can spike it with their votes?
Well, you also have to consider that if I WERE inclinded to reopen the poll just to let them add a couple hundred votes to the “no” column then I would also be inclinded to notify several large groups (who would no doubt fall majorily into the “yes” column to come in and vote in the poll as well to counter them out.
Then they would complain about that and it’s just a huge, viscious circle.
I reiterate again, I like Paul … just not on the Iraq War policy that he has promoted.
This is a joke right? Please tell me that you are just making this up?
Deborah, I have no reason to make this wacky stuff up. I’ve got better things to do than think this sort of stuff up.
RON PAUL HAS NOT DEMANDED THAT YOU REOPEN THE POLL! STOP SLANDERING HIM YOU DAMN LIAR!
Oh dear Lord. He said Ron Paul “Supporters” have demanded he reopen the poll.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by that post.
This is just hard to believe that any sane person thinks like this. There are polls all over for every candidate but Oh my be afraid of those Ron Paul supporters. People get a good look at your country. People of integrity are gone this is what you are left with.
No one is “affraid” of the Ron Paul supporters. But some of the Ron Paul supporters seem absolutely frightened that people prefer certain qualities their candidate doesn’t have.
I’m a Ron Paul supporter. Although not as insane apparently as some of those that have been writting you. I voted in the poll and the results didn’t surprise me one bit because even I would be more in favor of Mr. Paul if he was a little more well versed in history and understood the concepts of just war instead of finding every liberal-like way of writting off the fact that Saddam DID commit an act of aggression (he invaded Kuwait) and he DID violate a treaty (the cease fire).
But he says “Well, yes but he didn’t attack us…” blah blah blah. It doesn’t matter. acts of aggression are acts of aggression.
But I still support him because of his stance on spending and the limited powers of government. But I can understand, having dealth with them, how the more vocal Paul supporters are trying to do.
[...] to not believe this. Heck, I even talked about how Paul supporters have been demanding that I reopen a poll on this site just so they can spike [...]
Ron Paul is the only true conservative running for president. He is more conservative than McCain, Giuliani, or Romney! I understand if some of you don’t like him, but you should at least keep an open mind towards a fellow conservative!
No, to say he is the only “true conservative” running for president is your opinion. As many people here have said again and again they consider his possitions on Iraq completely non-conservative. There are no “true conservatives” running as far as I, and I am sure many others here are concerned.
Did you ever stop to think that Ron Paul is actually a good candidate that people can really support? I consider myself a moderate and don’t have strong partisan ties. Being extreme on one side of the political spectrum is very narrow-minded in my opinion. I was seriously considering a democratic vote for ‘08 due to our current horrid republican leadership. That was until Ron Paul came along. He’s made me think twice about the republican party. With all other candidates, on both sides, is the same ol’ bullshit. Ron Paul stands out, and stands out in a good way. An intellegent man putting himself in the spot light and not affraid to express his views no matter how much they differ from the “all the same” neo-con views. It would be very refreashing to have someone who is actually honest and intellegent in office.
Can you give me a good explaination on why you don’t see him as a good candidate? And don’t give me some bullshit reason like “he doesn’t support the war,” or “he’s not a true conservative.” Those are not reasons. I want real details and facts on why it is he’s not taken seriously.
“There are no “true conservatives” running as far as I, and I am sure many others here are concerned.”
I certainly have yet to see one.
Andrew, GET serious please. You say “Can you give me a good explaination on why you don’t see him as a good candidate? And don’t give me some bullshit reason like “he doesn’t support the war,”” Well EXCUSE me as a dumb old leatherneck who thinks that letting a man like Paul anywhere near the CIC possition is a dumb idea considering his stance on getting the heck out of Iraq and basically making all the blood spilled by good men and women that went there freely for not. For a lot of us that is the most important issue.
You claim you are a “moderate”? I’m calling BS on that one. There is no way a man like Paul appeals to a “moderate”. The vast majority of his policies are tilted solidly right (smaller govt, limited taxes, etc).
Moderates are people that believe in a mixture between government control and free markets. They usually are either hard core socialists or soft core socialists. That is the middle ground after all. Paul certainly does not appeal to those types.
“Can you give me a good explaination on why you don’t see him as a good candidate? And don’t give me some bullshit reason like “he doesn’t support the war,”” - Andrew
In other words YOU don’t like that reason, therefor you don’t want to hear it from other people?
Ffftt.
Apparently you haven’t read some of the responses around here. Maybe you should just deal with how some people see abandoning a noble mission and the pain we have endured is not a value we want in a candidate
I’d rather kiss Usama’s boots than vote for a man that would pull my brothers in arms out of the battle and cut and run.
That good enough for you Andrew?
Semper Fi!
Damn right Semper Fi Sham.
