[Jean S]

Composite vote:
Ron Paul 15.2% 1,196
Member vote:
Ron Paul 5.5% 161
Non-member vote:
Ron Paul 20.8% 1,035

We're being spammed.

[CougarGA7]

Obviously we have been attacked by Paulistinians.

[JoeSixPack1]

Fred Thompson 40.6%

[Gondring]

The term is FReeped.

[mnehring]

Yes we are, by a third tier candidate’s campaign:

(one of three threads I’ve seen on this over there)

Look at the numbers they posted and compare to the numbers now and you’ll understand how they are influencing the non-member hits.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Yep ;-)

[Uncle Miltie]

Paulitarians?

[pillut48]

[waves to DUmmies and DKaosers]

Hi! Glad y’all are visiting! Maybe you’ll learn something about what your commie/socialist organizations are really all about—anti-American, anti-Patriotic, anti-troops, anti-all things good and decent about the USA...you get my drift. ;-)

[traditional1]

DU and Daily Cuss must be voting....there’s no way that Ron Paul is a contender. His appeal should be around the Dennis Kucinich range, or Pat Paulson’s bid....

[lormand]

"Ron Paul 5.5% 161"

I wonder of those percentages, how many are Moveon and DUmmie trolls with active FR accounts? Of the rest, how many are Freepers who turned on Conservatism and are nothing more than Al Qaida apologists, like Ron Paul.

Probably a large percent.

[wastedyears]

When we do it, it’s a FReep. When somebody outside does it, it’s an attack.

[Xenalyte]

Or, quite possibly, some of us FReepers really do like the guy.

[reagan_fanatic]

LOL! The Paulbearers seem to have a bit of the Moonies in them, don’t they.

[davidlachnicht]

When I hear a Ron Paul supporter on talk-radio
confronted with the insanity of withdrawing from Iraq,
I half expect to hear the caller yell “RON-PAUL-RON-PAUL-RON-PAUL-RON-PAUL!”
and then hang up.

[NapkinUser]

What’s the matter? Upset Ron Paul is beating Giuliani in this meaningless online opinion poll?

[mnehring]

ping

[eyedigress]

I vote for Kucinich every time the question is posed. LOL

[Jean S]

The term is FReeped.

I disagee, this is spamming, not freeping.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Unfortunately the PauloPhobes are getting as loopy as the Paulistinians.

This phobia of Ron Paul is a little too much.

[ElkGroveDan]

Maybe some of Weiner’s people too?

[trisham]

That’s my opinion as well.

[CougarGA7]

Or members of the Paulitburo.

[scottdeus12]

“I vote for Kucinich every time...”

ME TOO.....KOOK SIN-ITCH FOR PREZ!!!!!

[DoughtyOne]

Please note Jean that non-member votes make up a significant portion of each of the top five candidate’s vote totals.

[Politicalmom]

I don’t consider non-members to be FReepers.

[greyfoxx39]

I’m curious...what would keep registered FReepers from logging out and clearing cookies then voting multiple times as non-members? I’m not that knowledgeable about it.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Quote from the Paul site:

“Join Freerepublic.com and vote in the member poll. That would rock their world.”

[mnehring]

When we do it, it is one vote per person. When an outside party does it, it is “18 votes” per person- by their own admission.

[nicmarlo]

ping!

[WildcatClan]

I saw a poll on another site some time ago. There were 5 choices and all of them were Ron Paul. Heh :) Maybe FR needs such a poll. By the way I voted for #4, Ron Paul hahahaha!

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

Why do so many internet people want Ron Paul to win (this ‘spamming’ trend isn’t confined only to FR)?

[ansel12]

You left out the Romney spam.

[lormand]

Yes, there are a few Wiener fans who openly support Ron Paul.

That guy “soiledNapkin” is one of them.

[Jean S]

You have no problem with non-freepers spamming a FR poll?
Never mind, I’ve read your comments, of course you don’t.

[JillValentine]

Ratio of member to non-member votes for each candidate:

Duncan Hunter: 1.046
Fred Thompson: 0.833
Mike Huckabee: 0.647
Tom Tancredo: 0.548
Rudy Giuliani: 0.367
John McCain: 0.347
Sam Brownback: 0.273
Mitt Romney: 0.270
Ron Paul: 0.156

[ejonesie22]

YOU DARE QUESTION THE INTENTIONS OF THE PAULINATI!

Naive, your thread shall receive the curse of 1000 posts...

[Jean S]

The Romney spam is minimal and not signifigant.

[mnehring]

Some way’s I’ve learned from the Ron Paul forums.

1. Use multiple browser types.
2. If you have a server that you can manually change IP addresses, do so while using multiple browser types.
3. Use Google redirect scripts.
4. Use PSPs, Cell Phones, and PDAs to vote.

I like the tag, but maybe a golf match, I am getting too old for brawls...

[lormand]

"This phobia of Ron Paul is a little too much."

It's not a "phobia". It is righteous ridicule of a wacked out "Blame America" nut-ball.

[mnehring]

Did you know Ron Paul won the Pepsi Challenge?

[dschapin]

Nothing - I have cleared the cookies on my computer before and then later gone to FR and wondered why I had the option to vote again in one of these polls. I realized what was going on after I noticed that it hadn’t automatically logged me into FR like usual.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I say that for every Ron Paul thread, we all donate to Fred: https://www.fred08.com/contribute.aspx?RefererID=c637caaa-315c-4b4c-9967-08d864cd0791

[eyedigress]

Is he going to be at the krystal burger challenge?

[Scarchin]

I consider any post about RuPaul to be spam anyway.

[dragonblustar]

We need that cranky old man picture again.

[doorgunner69]

The good thing about our polls is being able to ignore the non-member vote. Figure DU trolls and other similar creeps figure into that group.

[greyfoxx39]

Did you know Ron Paul won the Pepsi Challenge?

I thought it was really kewl when he won the Emmy last night for his portrayal of Don Knotts as Barney.

[ejonesie22]

Dude, you are way off (surprise surprise)

I am as afraid of Paul as I am Wylie Coyote, and he serves the same function, mindless entertainment...
