Heretic’s Hideout

Well, I guess you know the well is dry when you can only find YouTube videos to post in your blog. But this is good anyway. It’s a thirty minute message that will be airing in Iowa that gives a good overview of what Dr. Paul represents and why they should vote for him in the primary. It is in two parts.

Thanks to Ayn’s Closet for this find. This is a great article.

 Many contend that Ron Paul, although an honest, plain-talking man, comes to the 2008 presidential campaign podium without a lot of achievement.  While in office, he hasn’t steer-headed proposed legislation into law, or galvanized broad-based support for this national agenda or that, or even been on board with most post-911 bills and actions.  For almost twenty years, he’s been a dedicated representative for his Texas District and has not a potpourri of achievements about which to boast on the presidential campaign trail.  Is this exactly true?  How could someone serve for so long, and have so little to show for it?

I won’t spoil it. Click here to read the rest. 

I must admit that at times I am a little concerned over the divergence between what appears to be real grass-roots support for Ron Paul and the numbers that get reported in the polls. I believe Dr. No’s support to be considerably higher than the 1-3% that we are constantly shown in the media. Various explanations have been floated to account for this phenomenon, but this article at PrisonPlanet.com has got to be the most astonishing thing I have read regarding this whole business. Paul Joseph Watson quotes an unnamed reader who claims to have participated in a Zogby poll, and he found the questions in the poll took on a decidedly bizarre turn after he confirmed that he was supporting Ron Paul.

“The first part of the poll was about which candidate one prefers, with candidates from both parties being available as choices. Great! However, after I finished answering positively for Ron Paul, the poll got very interesting,” he writes.

“As anyone who is familiar with how polls work is aware, polls are branching in their structure. Answers you give to one section of the poll will determine what questions you will receive in the next section of the poll.”

The reader then relates his confusion about the fact that the poll threw up 20 questions about cooking rice before another extensive set of questions regarding personal sexual behavior.

“This went on for a number of pages and was rather intrusive,” he writes. “It dealt with sexual positions, sexual fantasies, sexual preferences and similar intimate subjects. Of course neither rice cooking or sexual behavior have very much to do with presidential elections or politics in general. Or at least it shouldn’t!”

I would have to take this with a grain of salt, but it sure does make you wonder. The article also exposes some standard polling industry practices that would easily explain why Ron Paul does so poorly in the polls. We can only pray that this type of manipulation will not heavily influence the outcome of the upcoming primaries. I know who I’m voting for.

USAElectionPolls.com has written up a piece (Click Here!) proving how Ron Paul was treated unfairly at the CNBC TV Debate the other day. He was so offended by such gross bias that he decided it was right to donate to Ron Paul in defiance.

In fact, I am so upset right now that I am going to make a personal donation to the Ron Paul campaign. And I want your help. I usually pay SEO companies in India/Thailand to do what is called “link building” — they send out emails to other political sites asking them to link to me. In return, I get good search engine rankings. But I figure why give them money when I can use that money to give even MORE to Ron Paul in his quest to prove that the media does not always have to win.

More and more folks are waking up to the truth every day. The mainstream media outlets are doing their best to try and keep him under wraps while appearing ‘impartial’. But the internet is proving to be more than a match for mainstream media these days.
