Hey Misoir, how ya been brother? S&F for a good thread idea.

What bothers me from reading the results of the polls listed in your OP is the fact that Ron Paul is not even mentioned in most of them, and in those where his name does appear, he's not appearing to do so well. This is in direct opposition to our own ATS Straw Poll that declared Ron Paul the overwhelming front runner with 83.2% of respondents who back him over anyone else.

Are they ALL in on the conspiracy to keep Paul down; or is ATS an anomaly, a bastion of common sense that can defend against the BS being catapulted against our towers by the Lame Stream Media?

No online polls are scientific regardless of the results. So yes I would say that the ATS poll was biased towards Ron Paul, which seems rather obvious with the millions of threads dedicated to him. You must also take into consideration that RP has a strong online presence which immediately makes all online polls viral within the Paulite communities.

Well one thing is for sure, we are screwed when it comes to the year 2012.

I noticed the same thing.

This is no doubt in my mind that there are people on both sides working diligently to keep Ron Paul out of the public eye.

And here's my theory why:

The TEA Party, for not even being a real party, has come a very long way in a very short time. And we have elected some good people. The Democrats hate us and the RINOs fear us.

Ron Paul's message really resonates with younger voters who, for the most part, aren't very fond of the TEA Party... yet Ron Paul IS the Godfather of the TEA Party.

I believe they really don't want people to make the connection.
