Public Policy Polling’s latest Iowa Republican poll shows Ron Paul leading for the first time. See this story. Public Policy Polling polls for the Iowa Republican caucus have now shown six different leaders during the period from August through this latest poll. The Iowa caucus is in two weeks and one day.
How many major snow storms will blast Iowa in the meantime ???
How many candidates will get the flu or worse ???
IA-NH in the dead of winter = Election INSANITY — due to the robot party hacks exploiting the EVIL of the Electoral College.
P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.
Ermmm…allow me to take the liberty of quoting myself from just a few days ago.
“Polling companies sell their results. Major purchasers include media news entities. Polling numbers which do not change daily are not “news.” Polling companies therefore have every incentive to ensure that polling results change daily, using accepted methods, of course, and making sure that the volatility of the numbers reported doesn’t routinely breech the hypothetical +/- 4% ‘margin of error.'”
“Iowa, in particular, is very difficult to poll. Because of the nature of their caucusing, individuals subject themselves to sometimes intense persuasion and even coercion at the caucus itself. They change their minds in the moment. I’ve seen it happen. Effective organization by campaigns can also make the poll numbers blow away like so much dust on the evening of the caucus.”
“So the polling leading up to the Iowa caucus, consistent with the American process of determining candidates for the two major parties, is just so much bullshit.”
I have one thing to say.
OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TruFoe: I will add that polling companies are hired to do this work which means that the results have a cost. A candidate who is paying for this work is not likely to release all of the sensitive or juciest details. Why give their opponents free info? Also, polls are telephone polls placed on land lines. Who has land lines? Older people. And, polls are usually conducted during the daytime. Who is at home during the daytime? Retired people and the unemployed. As Penn and Teller say in their excellent video on this subject (search YouTube), “F.U. Frank Luntz!”

And I’d add this – has anyone ever personally met someone who at this late date in any campaign is truly undecided? Excluding of course those handpicked collections of “undecided” that the network pays to be interviewed after debates? C’mon…get real, folks.
We’re coming into winter weather now. If anyone in a cold climate had a thermostat that registered temperature with the purported volatility of these political polls, they would throw it into the trash. And that’s just where all garbage – including political polling results – belongs.

But 3) above is happy for a few days, anyway…that is, until the results of the next “surprising” scientific poll are published.
So I guess the polls have some value.
As Dr. Paul is not a CFR or Trilateral Commission member or Bilderberg chosen candidate he is no doubt facing a tough uphill battle; especially with the garbage coming from the MSM disinformation sources.
In 2007/08 I thought Dr. Paul was off base on many of his views. I have spent a great deal of time since then learning the truth and much to my dismay Dr. Paul is right on most of the issues he speaks of. He certainly knows more about money and finance then many (perhaps most) of the worlds top ‘financial guru’s’.
I have learned that Vietnam, the ‘conflict’ of my generation, was a war (never declared) we entered based on lies directly from the White House (LBJ) as later confirmed by Robert McNamara. I believed my government and served in its armed forces making several trips to Viet Nam. 58,000 Americans lost their lives over LBJ’s lies. But we were the ‘good guys’ defending our country.
So how about this quotation… The wife of Mayer Amschel Bauer-Rothschild once said, “If my sons did not want war, there would be no wars.” That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, every war for the past 250 years was intentionally orchestrated by this Vatican-Rothschild-led criminal cabal. If you doubt this, then you are simply uninformed. The source of this is here… http://bitly.com/uyluex
Was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor really a surprise? Not according to this… http://bitly.com/rGqB2r
My point, faith in our government to be honest and truthful with us is naive and possibly dangerous to the health of our entire middle-class. How so, look up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane no it’s… chem-trails. Go ahead deny their existence, my area is being sprayed really heavily today. The stuff their spreading is staying in the atmosphere for hours and hours. Oh yeah, that’s right those are really normal contrails caused by jet aircraft and are not harmful or intentional. And you of course also believe Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.
We don’t need to fear Iran. The reason for the upcoming war on Iran is they have proposed a gas pipeline that is meant to compete with the one we are trying to help build in Afghanistan (the reason for invading Afghanistan in the first place).
BTW, China and India have already signed on to buy their natural gas from Iran. Energy is the biggest business in the world and the global elite who run the show don’t want Iran as competition so we need an excuse to go to war with them. How about a preemptive attack to prevent them from building nuclear weapons?
I agree with Dr. Paul, if we minded our own business (not the business of mega-corporations and the ultra wealthy) fewer people in the world would hate us and we would have fewer international problems. Of course minding our own business is not part of the CFR, Trilateral Commission or Bilderberg agenda.
We are being enslaved to the New World Order and our nation is becoming a police state. Go ahead, ignore the facts and become a serf to the global banking elite; they are smarter than you are anyway. Of course that is why they are fighting to keep Dr. Paul from winning the GOP presidential nomination. For the most part Democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same CFR, Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg coin. Dr. Paul is the exception. Let’s not upset the status quo, let’s put another ‘establishment’ candidate in the White House and then expect a different result; more “change you can believe in”.
