AOL Did Not Rig Online Poll

November 23rd 2007 07:18
There’s a very simple and logical explanation as to why Ron Paul was not winning the AOL poll and has nothing to do with a conspiracy as reported by Digg here that got to the front page, and this one too. One would think there’s some sort of AOL hatched conspiracy going on here. The latter was quite funny:

AOL is running a poll on thier website at news.aol.com. The poll is for your favourite GOP presidential candidate. Some people thought it was strange that Ron Paul was loosing an online poll. After a little investigation, the real spammers were found.


Ron Paul-tards (emphasis on tards, you can support Ron Paul and not be a retard) claiming that they don't skew polls is like George Bush saying he loves freedom.

But back on topic, what is the issue here? Paul-tards forgot that their lifeline is Digg.com and more generelly the Internet itself. There was no Digg submission for the AOL poll (or at least none that made it to the frontpage) and it would appear the poll itself slipped through the Paul spammers, hence no possible Paultardation could have taken place. Of course the reason for the alleged 'rigging' has a technical explanation that does not involve cheating on AOLs part.

Now for the real kicker, AOL runs a massive system with many different servers. When you vote on a Poll the server sends the info to a master server which then adds the votes periodically and sends the updated numbers back. So every 30 seconds the numbers are updated with that of the Master servers, and yes, those numbers are awfully consistent, awfully consistent with non-Internet polls. Looks like the Paul-tards have been getting lazy.


Paul-tards want to believe that they have mainstream opinion which is why they spam online websites that have such polls running. They believe that by skewing different online polls they are some how making a difference. Sadly for them they almost exclusively exist in the online world and non-cyber space polling numbers don't fair so well.

Hopefully all this nonsense will end just as soon as primaries roll around and Doctor Ron Paul ends up losing. Of course, like after every poll Ron Paul loses, there will be a sudden but hopefully short lived burst of spam detaling how the polls were rigged and/or biased and that will be the end of it. Hopefully.

I leave the Paul-tards with a challenge: Show me one single online poll that shows Ron Paul leading the pack which has not been spammed to hell and back by Paul-tards.

Until then all I can do is conclude that a bunch of Paul-tards just go and collectively vote and skew polls. Sure Ron Paul supporters may exist but if the online support for 'mainstream' candidates was more reflective of their true support and proportional to Ron Pauls online support I'd say that Paul-tards would find it a lot harder to skew polls their own way.


Oh and the video in question:

I guess we also skewed the november 5th fundraiser results too. Funny how somehow real money doesn't equal real support.
