	1) I don&amp;#39;t doubt there are polls that are rigged, but for the most part, you can tell it&amp;#39;s the &lt;em&gt;reporting &lt;/em&gt;that&amp;#39;s rigged.&amp;nbsp; As you can see below, and plenty of other places:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	The polls seem to reflect accurate numbers...they just don&amp;#39;t want anyone to see them.&amp;nbsp; That&amp;#39;s why you see polls disappearing, &lt;a href="http://mises.org/Community/forums/t/26334.aspx"&gt;as you showed&lt;/a&gt;, and like you can see in the first link &lt;a href="http://mises.org/Community/forums/t/25921.aspx"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	2) Yes, Ron Paul has an undeniable Internet presence.&amp;nbsp; Unquestionably more than any other candidate.&amp;nbsp; Unquestionably more enthusiastic supporters than all others combined.&amp;nbsp; But this does not mean the polls are rigged.&amp;nbsp; Mainstream opinion is still largely &lt;em&gt;mainstream&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s easy to forget how clueless the public actually is when you&amp;#39;re surrounded by the likes of LRC and the Mises Forum, etc.&amp;nbsp; But just go to a random forum and talk to random adults.&amp;nbsp; Go to a fishing forum and find a &amp;quot;general&amp;quot; category where they talk about politics and find out how many people even know much about Ron Paul and will tell you anything more than &amp;quot;he&amp;#39;s a crazy kooky isolationist.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; Go to a liberal forum and hear the same thing.&amp;nbsp; Or even worse, hear that Obama is still the messiah.&amp;nbsp; (It&amp;#39;s easy to forget 40% of the country still thinks so.&amp;nbsp; That&amp;#39;s a huge number.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	People really don&amp;#39;t have time to learn anything and be educated.&amp;nbsp; They&amp;#39;re too busy working and raising kids, and they have no interest in studying things they think they&amp;#39;ll never understand anyway, let alone affect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	This is not to say Ron Paul doesn&amp;#39;t have an enormous following.&amp;nbsp; He&amp;#39;s polling in double digits in most polls by now.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s growing.&amp;nbsp; But you have to realize the Internet presence is definitely scewed.&amp;nbsp; Dominating Youtube is not the same as dominating the country...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

	Is Ron Paul the only candidate people take the time to post exclusive clips of in the debate?&amp;nbsp; Or do people upload perry clips from debate or Romney clips?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	If not, it should become obvious that the people support Ron Paul, and no other candidate has even close to the support.&amp;nbsp; Which leads me to the only logical conclusion...the gallup polls and voting machines are being rigged.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
