Give CNN Hell: Ron Paul left off their poll...

0 votes

So did I miss something? Did Ron Paul drop out of the race? Because that's what CNN is depicting in their new poll on their website:

http://www.cnn.com/

scroll down on the right side.... It has 4 candidates, but they're missing one...

Send CNN an e-mail and point out their mistake.

CNN.com's presidential poll is missing one candidate who is still very much in the race. You can't just pretend Ron Paul dropped out of the race when he didn't... that's called lying.

Newsflash: Ron Paul is still in the race, so why isn't he in your poll?

Newsflash CNN, Ron Paul is still in the race, now feel our wrath....

Update: CNN is now showing photos of 4 candidates on their website. Guess which candidate is not shown....

CNN is going to look stupid when Ron Paul wins a state or gets 2nd somewhere.... I'm looking forward to it.

My Email To CNN

Why is it I don't see Ron Pauls name/picture mentioned on your website. "The Race for Delegates" From my understanding, he's still in the race to the end.
This election has been an eye opener for the misleading of MSM. I'm sure there are journalist amongst you, who are being limited to express your honest opinions. I can only assuming from the outside looking in how things operate there. Controlling the media is so uncool.

did you email the executives

below or did you just use the form on their site?

Nothing has bounced.

Here is what I believe the CNN naming convention is for their execs.

firstname.lastname@turner.com

CNN execs listed in my last post.

Here is a link to other turner execs.

I just emailed the CNN executives

If the emails do not bounce I will post the email naming convention here.

No poll spamming here

I don't poll spam. I don't know any other Ron Paul supporters that do so. In fact, to do so would be against the tenets of living an honest, responsible and truthful life.

Please see my post below about spam.

We are not spamming.

We are voting on their poll.

Personally I don't think it is a good idea to vote for others though.

How the Media Pick the Candidates

Accuracy in Media wrote:

Whatever you think of Ron Paul, you have to admit that the media are notoriously biased against him. The Fox News Channel unfairly excluded him from its January 6 debate, while MSNBC and CNN tried to keep him from speaking for any significant length of time during their January 24 and January 30 debates. This is a candidate, we must recall, who placed second in the Republican Nevada caucuses on January 19, beating John McCain.

Interestingly, every time the media do something to undercut Ron Paul, his supporters react by sending more money to his campaign. The result is that the Los Angeles Times and other media are reporting that Ron Paul was the most successful fundraiser among the Republican presidential candidates in the last three months of 2007. Paul brought in $19.7 million-compared to $9.9 million for Mitt Romney, $6.8 million for John McCain, and $6.6 million for Mike Huckabee.

Anyone who watched the Republican debate on CNN could not have helped notice how the questions went down the line, from Mitt Romney to John McCain, and then skipped over Ron Paul. This happened on several occasions. Eventually, the other candidate on the stage, Mike Huckabee, got so disgusted that he spoke up in protest, wondering why the "spigot" of questions had been turned off for him, too. "I didn't come here to umpire a ballgame between these two," Huckabee said, referring to Romney and McCain. "I came here to get a chance to swing at a few myself." Huckabee wasn't whining; he was telling the truth about how the media try to rig the process.

How the Media Pick the Candidates
Soo, here we go again.

Hucks Gone - Show support now more than ever!

truud2 has an excellent point here - let's start a new money bomb for RP and show the strength of McCain's final opponent! I am going to donate what I can right now. Please join in!

Okay, I vented a little:

Why, why, why have you felt it necessary to leave Ron Paul's name off your Quick Vote poll about the ringing hotline phone? Don't you realize how that makes you look like prejudiced CFR toadies? Have some balls and do the right thing for once! Sheesh!

New Hampshire and Ecuador

Disinformation

I think there must be something illegal about presenting false information to the viewers, especially when it comes to Presidential elections. I think it is outright fraud and conspiracy to do do all they can, to suppress any Ron Paul related information. It should be brought to the attention of the FCC, although they too are part of the establishment. The proof of this conspiracy by the MSM is overwhelming and would be hard to deny. Who, not part of the establishment, can one go for such criminal offenses. Democracy in serious jeopardy. Even a banana republic has better systems in place than the "mighty US of A."Probability and outcome, Mccain impossible to be frontrunner, when most of Americans want out of the war.

You are 100 % Accurate in your comments of CFR influence on CNN

It is unimaginable that Ron Paul is not on the CNN polls. They try their best to not mention anything about Paul unless their taking a verbal jab at him. A good site that shows the CFR influence in the media is www.amerocasnewworldorder.com . It has a free ebook on the site. Inform your friends of what is happening in our country.

PEOPLE PLEASE do not type

PEOPLE PLEASE do not type "Ron Paul" in the message, as it may be very likely that CNN censors all incoming email with RP in there. Instead mix up the characters like "R.()N P@U1" so they bypass any filtering system.

How about.....

The Candidate Who's Name Shall Never Be Uttered Publicly

We

Are to blame...we spam polls and get like 80% support for Dr Paul and then pull 4% in a primary..so they simply leave us off to protect the integrity of the poll

I'm sorry you are talking nonsense

The majority of well coded online polls will prevent people from voting more than once.

RP supporters are more organised so more of them vote. It is NOT SPAM.

You are just rehashing Faux and the others.

Leave RP off to protect the integrity of the poll? Rubbish.

We could all go and vote for Hillary. How would that protect the integrity of the poll?

Please don't regurgitate MSM propoganda here.

OK

tell me how we win almost every online poll and do so poorly in primaries...also, if you erase the 'cookies' on your computer you can vote as often as you like in almost any poll

Who's spamming...who's contributing?

Regarding spamming, did you know that on Feb. 23 or 24, I don't remember the exact date right now, Ron Paul had a rally in Austin, TX and there were over 6,000 people in attendance. The venue only held 4,000 and it was overflowing with people lining the walls, in the lobby and outside but the local news chose to only say 4,000.

How many has McCain, Romney, Giuliani or Huckabee had at one event?

Raising $19.5 million in the 4th quarter of last year tells you who supports Ron Paul. I bet you didn't hear the mainstream media mention that he beat all the other republican candidates (including the supposed front runner McCain) then running, combined, for 4th quarter contributions.

You can go to www.fec.gov and look up all the contributions, amounts and names of supporters. You will see that Ron Paul has more small donations, which means more "little people," of which there are a larger number of voters.

Yet they all decide not to vote that day? Highly unlikely.

I didn't get a receipt when I voted.

I do get a receipt when I deposit a $10 check in my bank's ATM. Why can't I get a receipt for voting - the most important supposed representation of my involvement in the public area of my free and just society; after all, the ATM and voting machines are both made by the same manufacturer.

If I ask why I get looks like I am trouble. How does this happen in a free nation?

SPAM

=unsolicited commercial bulk.
We are none of those things.
I don't delete my cookies and vote more than once. But don't you get it.

Anyone can do that

Not just RP supporters.

RP supporters are more active and passionate.

Inviduals are posting. There is no bulk spambot that does these things. I have been an internet professional since 1994. This is NOT spam.

Don't fall into their trap.

My Comment to them:

Where I work, CNN is on the majority of the day. I noticed that you've deliberately left out Congressman "Dr. No" on your poll.
He's the only candidate that will stick to America, the Constitution and Liberty. For deliberately leaving him out of your poll (and news as a whole), you should be completely and utterly ashamed of yourself. What kind of man/woman are you? Obviously, no one over there has any integrity or principle anymore. What a shame. It's so obvious that you're all sellouts. Even my 5 year old cousin can recognize you're BIASED and NOT FAIR.
P.S. I will NOT be watching your station tonight, or EVER for that matter. Your 10 years of gradual CFR takeover will take another 10 years to fix. And by that time, no one will need any news stations anymore.
Could it really be? Fox Business is giving time to an honest, constituionalist? Could Fox be picking up your slack!?
I'm with America, the Constitution and Liberty, who is CNN with?
In Liberty,

See how fawning over a

See how fawning over a network when they give you some fair attention can come back to bite you? That's what many Paul supporters did when CNN took up some of the slack left by the atrocious FOX. Yet it was perfectly clear (to those whose eyes were fully open) that CNN was merely taking advantage of our outrage at FOX to get a bump in their ratings.

The media (all-inclusively) is a den of vipers. They may fool you into loving them today, but they will break your heart tomorrow. Never forget that. Never trust them.

Liberty for Dummies

I sent this:

Why does your network consistently omit Ron Paul's candidacy from polls and primary results. Why do you lie about how many delegates he has amassed? Why are you so afraid of liberty? How much does it cost to buy your content? Why have your news directors abandoned their responsibilities to the people to report the truth of a situation? Truly,truly, you have your reward in full!

You are hurting this country more than you will ever know. Dr. Paul has not dropped out and when you just pretend that he has, you are lying! I will tell you this, I tell everyone I can every chance I get about the fact that you are owned by Time Warner and that you have your own political agenda which precludes your obligation to the truth. Your ownership gave 1.6 million dollars to the Bush campaign in 2000. I promise to do all that I can to make sure the people I meet give you the same approval rating the majority of America gives him.

Sent my comment

for what good it will do. They are all puppets anyway...
We'll move ahead without their "help".

Let's give MSM and McCain's reputation some hell

We should remain critical of the MSM and tell them so. Remember, we are not just mad to be mad, we are mad because they are deliberately omitting RP's presence in this campaign. They have constructed a situation that dropped RP to the bottom and pushed McCain to the top. McCain was 'dead in the water' last fall, but they've resurrected him to the front. Nothing new to anyone here. But my main point is that the injustice of the MSM has passed for the most part. They've succeeded in creating a GOP situation that is very cut and dried for blind Americans, and even some fringe admirers of RP. Republicans across America are now focused on pushing the front runner into the White House at all costs - no matter who it is. The MSM is simply reflecting that at this point. We've allowed them to do this and they will now begin the further boosting of McCain's reputation so Republicans will be satisfied with their previously hated nominee. Where do we go from here? First, we needed a March on DC in February in my opinion. But it can still happen, and I will be there. The states that are left are working harder to place delegates and that's good. But what I'd REALLY like to see is any information about McCain's lowly existence as a senator plastered across the internet. We need to mobilize to start changing the minds of unbound delegates. We need to change the minds of McCain's half-supporters.

More hell?

I double-clicked and posted it twice. Sorry. I can't seem to delete the 2nd post so I'll make another comment via edit... Are there any sites dedicated to denouncing McCain as nominee?
