Quote:
"Yet these Paulites have always dismissed polls, hated them, even despised them. They have many reasons besides the fact that no polls have given Paul much chance of winning anything. Polls, some suggest, are fictitious summaries of the mainstream media designed to suppress the Ron Paul Revolution. Polls are fake because no Paulite can remember ever being phoned for a survey. Many Paul supporters are new to the political process, so not on voter rolls to be polled. And they mostly use cellphones, not landlines. So they'd be somehow under-represented."
My thoughts:
The writer resembles that annoying kid in class that would use sarcasm, often raise their hand a lot in class but yet at the same time was completely uninformed. The fact that Ron Paul generates more support in the early phases from people who do not use landlines phones is not an opinion, it's fact. With writers like this, it's no wonder that traditional newspapers having declining subscribers.
