*Taken from Wake Up 1776.
The Fox News commentator tells everyone who just got done watching the Republican Presidential debate in Iowa to go on FoxNews.com and vote. So then Hannity comes on and brings his hired propagandist Frank Luntz and then interviews several candidates except Ron Paul. I don’t even remember Hannity showing a video clip of Ron Paul during the entire show.
The announcement of the poll results was supposed to be done during the hour long Hannity post-debate show. The entire show was a propaganda piece saying nice things about everyone but Ron Paul.
Well, it turns out Ron Paul won the FoxNews.com poll handily. He won it by several thousand votes. Here is a screenshot and a breakdown of the poll results shortly after 12 am ET (after Hannity’s show concluded).
1st Place: Paul with 7,796 votes
2nd Place: Gingrich with 4,751 votes
3rd Place: Cain with 2,425 votes
4th Place: Romney (the supposed front-runner) with 1,870 votes
5th Place: Bachmann (the other so-called front-runner) with 1,818 votes
6th Place: Santorum with 835 votes
7th Place: Huntsman with 303 votes
Last Place: Pawlenty with 250 votes
Here is a state breakdown of the poll. Ron Paul takes almost every state in the union except Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, Georgia, and Mississippi.
Shortly after Hannity’s show, Fox News pulled the poll off their website:
It was somewhere in the yellow area before it was pulled down.
So what does this mean? This means that Ron Paul got over 7,000 votes in less than an hour from all 50 states from an audience that is mostly conservative that watched Fox News. It also shows that he almost doubled the 2nd place contender’s votes. It also shows he won Iowa – the main purpose for the Iowa debate and an early primary state. It shows that Fox News is scared and that Frank Luntz is a liar. It shows that Ron Paul has a real good shot at winning this election.

I thought fox reported we decided? fair and balanced? why are they not reporting the truth, that Ron Paul won every poll by a landslide!!!! if they dont fly right, we will have to boycott
No major media outlet is even reporting on this.. battling the leviathan is frustrating as hell.
You can still link to the poll here, but it is not posted anymore…

AMERICAN’S BEING ROBBED OF THEIR CHOSEN LEADER – A SAD DAY IN THE USSA – I know this sounds nerdy, but I was really excited to hear 30 members of Dr. Ron Paul’s family were coming to Iowa to support him; the ladies wearing dresses made of cut up Ron Paul shirts they made themselves. Then Ron won the debate (over 48% of the vote!) and I was excited to hear his interview after this victory and Fox news announce that he won, but I couldn’t find anything on the TV and nothing yet on the net. I wanted to see him celebrating with his family and get a glimpse of the Paul family that has tirelessly sacrificed so much fighting for our liberty. It is a crime against the people to rob them of their chosen leader and his triumphs. Thank you Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, & TIME Magazine. Thank you for convincing people that they will be throwing their vote away by not reporting the truth and for hiding their chosen leader. Thank you for destroying what is left of this country for our children with your misinformation.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Great job on this article by the way – thank you for reporting the truth! RON PAUL 2012!
I cant take the credit, I just reposted it. The credit goes to http://www.wakeup1776.com/
I had to repost it however, as the media is seemingly ignoring it.
YEA BOY! Get ‘em Ron! Just keep speaking the truth, people will come around eventually.
Could you give me some insight into the psychology of a person who claims that stuffing a statistically meaningless Internet poll “shows that Ron Paul has a real good shot at winning this election?” You’re obviously not a complete fool, you’re able to write grammatical English and so forth; so is this something you actually believe? If so, for God’s sake why? –Or is it some form of ritualistic “rally the troops” thing where you all pretend that Ron Paul is wildly popular even though you know he’s not?
I didn’t write the article, it is a repost. I found it to be important as the poll was taken down. Now apparently it is back up, which is fine. Polls are typically meaningless as they are just polls. Also, we are over a year away from the election. Do I think this shows that he can win the election? Not necessarily but I think he has a way better shot than the previous election. Either which way, he’s making noise and a lot of people are paying attention. I would be equally upset however if the same thing happened to any other candidate, where they won a poll and the actions of the pollsters were extremely questionable. I posted this to bring this out in the light more than anything else.

Ron Paul’s foreign policies are scary. He speaks with great conviction; too bad he’s just wrong on important issues like Iran and who started what when. He’s WWIV waiting to happen.
Liberty isn’t for pussies.

Dr. Ron Paul has the prescription for what is ailing our nation. He may not be the most eloquent speaker, but, he speaks the truth. He may not be the prettiest of the candidates, but, his integrity is excellent. He may not be a “community organizer”, but, he will coalesce this nation in one cohesive, economic dynamo, and, give us back the international status that we have lost. Why? Because he is a statesman, not a politician. There is a BIG DIFFERENCE. And, folks, what we need right now is a statesman.
Ron Paul won the debate, it is obvious.
I didn’t mean to imply by my post that anybody would be throwing away a vote for Ron Paul, it is the only vote that counts. It is criminal that the media is doing everything in their power to convince people of this lie! And we need more people exposing this lie, like in this article. He is spot on regarding foreign policy and Iran and people that don’t get this don’t know their history or in my opinion have any common sense at all. It’s not rocket science. Go Ron Paul 2012!

If you read John Perkin’s “Confessions of an Economic Hitman” you’ll find a lot of back up material for Ron Paul’s opinions on foreign policy. Restoring our freedoms is the most important thing to do right now. If we continue kissing our freedoms goodbye, we will lose our creative edge in the U.S. because freedom breeds creativity. Creativity will bring solutions to our problems. Our economy–once industrial–needs to upgrade to the creative economy. But the old system is refusing to die out. FREEDOM! Go Ron Paul–a statesman of the highest integrity. Look at his voting record. See how he returns his government pension money and takes no money from lobbyists. He’s been speaking the TRUTH for decades, but many of us have been hiding from the truth because it’s scary. As some one put it earlier . . . liberty isn’t for pussies!
I used support FOX News. Not any more! Ron Paul is Great! FOX News is using their influence to snub Ron Paul. They are not fair. They are not balanced. “RON PAUL For President 2012 “

Figures. What I loved is when Ron Paul told the people that he is in third place! From what I can see he’s in FIRST place…well at least that’s what the DATA shows…
LOL, so funny how FAUX NEWS is so shallow.
Ron Paul terrifies the establishment. All of it.
