abcnews.go.com — As of 4:35PM Eastern ABC has removed ALL of the posts that were made on their article saying Ron Paul's support on the internet was fake. This is on the same article that I said they were removing some posts from yesterday. Now they have gone and removed all of the posts that have been made since a few minutes ago. Only 20 comments there now.

pollsdectsage to ABC about their ?The Ron Paul Effect? garbage was removed:You media types sound a bit upset that other folks want to get into an active role in picking the candidates. You failed to mention that you tried to leave Ron Paul out of your poll, but got caught because of DIGG, etc. Your first thought on how to play Ron Paul?s win of tMMS NBCNBC.COM poll was to run your poll without Ron Paul included. Then you would have just not mentioned Ron Paul or his message at all. Your article, ?The Ron Paul Effect,? is your plan B. Its opening line is: ?Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, who barely registers in public opinion polls of the Republican presidential field, won last Thursday night's debate.? You try to spin the result as ??either passionate supporters, active supporters, or just one very savvy supporter who's able to vote several thousand times?? Whether your poll accurately reported its results or cooked the results only your people know for sure. The MSNBC.COM poll had about 70,000 ratings from uniUPS ips. It actually had two polls: One poll before and one poll after the debate. Both had about 70,000 ratings from uniUPS ips. Ron Paul was at a single digit % favorable before the debate, but about a third of the rater were favorable after.Let us examine your point: ??Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, who barely registers in public opinion polls of the Republican presidential field?? Some questions: ?

It shows how the media conspire to successfully cut out a candidate at 17-19 minutes into that google video "Brian Springer - Spin"

ABC (Actively Brainwashes Constituents) They have made it very clear their complete disdain for the electoral process. They have nothing for me.

You're right, they do have a right to do what they want. And we have a right to do what we want: which is tell others of their censorship. There is no hypocrisy here. No one is trying to get a law passed or calling the police to shut down ABC.

Motbob, when I see "Medicare/Medicaid/unemployment benefits/Welfare/Social Security" do you know what I think? I think of the "ragbag" of benefits that Milton Friedman describes. In lieu of the "ragbag", how about we just write a check? Basically, a negative income tax. That way, poor people can buy what they need rather than what they are given. In the process you remove the huge bureaucracy of handling and planning across government organizations. The only possible argument I ever get to this from collectivists is "But they'll spend it on drugs." Which is a fine answer. It's just an honest indication of how you view the capacity of mankind and how the "civilly free" Left is no different than the "finanically free" Right. They both seek to protect man from himself because he doesn't know any better.
