According to an MSNBC online poll participated by over 16,000 people, Texas Congressman Ron Paul won the GOP Michigan debate in a landslide. Sister-station, CNBC, who hosted the debate also had an online poll but they, like Pajamas Media, took it down when they saw that the most conservative congressman in office was winning by such a wide margin.CNBC should be ashamed of itself for opening up a poll and taking it down when the person who they want doesn't win.
CNBC Online Poll was here, but is now missing from this link: http://www.cnbc.com/id/21209903/site/14081545
When viewers were asked who they thought was standing out from the pack, Paul, who sternly favors the abolition of liberty infringing laws, the elimination of income tax and the IRS, and for presidents to be forced to declare war through congress before bombing and invading other countries, received 83% of the online vote. On the question of which candidate shows the most leadership qualities, the only GOP candidate who agrees with the majority of the US population in saying that the troops in Iraq should be brought home immediately, Paul got 81% of the vote.
Fox News host Sean Hannity, upon hearing that Paul had won the Fox News debate told his viewers that they were cheaters, despite the fact that it was a text poll meaning there could only be one vote per cell phone. But it was CBS who said that it's the millions of dollars he's raised that is making it harder for people to ignore him.
Ron Paul has been winning these online polls and straw votes now for months. If he has this organized, underground cabal of Internet geeks - why have none of their scheming emails surfaced? If it's so easy that even Ron Paul can do it, why have none of the other candidates been able to motivate and mobilize their alleged supporters to log on to the computer after one of these debates? Fred Thompson has had months to prepare out of the spotlight and he can only get 505 votes on the MSNBC poll for Leadership Quality? Or is the next allegation going to be that Ron Paul supporters have figured out how to take votes away from other candidates.
That CNBC website is a professional site, owned by a media giant. If months into a race, CNBC can't figure out how to run a fair, reliable, and accurate poll, they shouldn't put it up in the first place.
Please let your voice be heard here, join this boycott, and let those "in charge" know that we don't want to be told what to think. We hearby advise CNBC and its advertisers that we, the citizens of the United States of America and the world, insist on a new poll to be fairly left online for all to see and will stop watching CNBC completely until thus time.
