Or is it a fact that his "few" supporters flock the phone lines and internet to vote him as the winner in these debates?
For some reason, I don't believe they actually know...

First of all, it's not possible to vote more than once, because I have tried to vote for two candidates in multiple debates. It is also impossible to vote more than once in the online polls. So that is definitely not the case.
In my opinion, I think that Ron Paul draws a younger crowd that frequently sends text messages. So they would be more likely to do it. I know that my grandmother and even my mother have no idea how to send a text message. Also, I think that the Ron Paul supporters are VERY passionate about him, so that also makes a difference.
And Fox News is not even close to "fair and balanced." Anyone who doesn't know this by now obviously doesn't pay much attention to politics.

Frank Luntz's "24 average joe-republican" audience was prescreened to not root for Paul. 2 supporters were immediately dismissed, and another just before airtime. If you base your candidates support or disapproval because some jackhole on TV showed you an alternate reality (like the fake FEMA press conference last night), and you didn't research it further, this country is doomed.
I like how intelligent Paul's responses seem, he can dish it out and turn it around on Sean, even faster than Sean can come up with more rigmarole.
Frank Luntz ALSO happens to work for Rudy Giuliani, so what do you expect from slime?
PS: I don't feel comfortable texting Fox, and giving them my number. Maybe you do, you were free to vote for your candidate as well. Why didn't you setup a mass text device that changes numbers each time. Oh wait, you can't vote more than once from a number.
". . . the American Association for Public Opinion Research reprimanded Luntz for comments he made to the media regarding his polling work on the Contract with America, according to a 2000 Salon.com article. Similarly, Washington Post polling director Richard Morin reported in 2000 that the National Council on Public Polls “censured pollster Frank Luntz for allegedly mischaracterizing on MSNBC the results of focus groups he conducted during the [2000] Republican Convention.” As Media Matters has also documented, Luntz has worked for former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R), a primary election opponent of Paul and Huckabee’s, and has heaped praise on Giuliani this year.”

Fox is a corporation with an agenda, they support the current regime. They aren't fair nor are they balanced. If want some fairness and balance try LINK TV, CRNT TV and watch tv sources that aren't American. You just might have your eyes opened. Try searching out information on the internet, there is plenty there.
Watching C-Span can be an eye opener also. I actually heard an admiral encourage our boys that couldn't support this war, well, he said they had an obligation to stand up and not participate even if it means prosecution. Now, that is an admiral that I can get behind. I wonder if Bush heard that ? Cause if he did, that admiral won't have his new job for very long.

Ron Paul is Delusional. His sit back and hope for the best strategy on foreign policy is idiotic. I know war is the last resort but it has to be an option or you will get walked all over. I've talked to Ron Paul and he's just as stupid in person as he seems on TV.

It is a fact that liberals and his few rabid supporters are the ones that just text again and again that he won the debate. If you watch Fox News you would discover when they question a group of 30 Republicans they don't even mention him at all.

Is anything on Fox fair and balanced? I can't believe they still say that with a straight face.

Of course not. Fox News is George Orwell's worst doublespeak nightmare.

Fox News is the only conservative news network of all the major ones and the main they are doing is saying hey, Ron Paul is running on the republican ticket where are his conservative views.
