After claiming some sort of bizarre conspiracy when Ron Paul won their straw poll two weeks ago, Pajamas Media declared Rudy Giuliani the winner. They proudly claimed that they fixed their “spamming” issue and all was well. The only problem is, Ron Paul also won last week’s poll – overwhelmingly:
So how did Pajamas Media respond this time? They completely removed Ron Paul’s name from this week’s poll. That’ll teach those crazy Ron Paul supporters for not following the path they are supposed to take! At least they didn’t falsely declare someone else the winner this time, I’ll give them that.
UPDATE: The New Liberty has a post about this as well.

I sent mail to them. Maybe if they get an overwhelming response by mail, they’ll reconsider.
BTW, I’m not related to Ron. :)
This is just pureley ridiculous I can’t even decide what else to say.
We should all go vote for Pataki out of spite LOL
Too bad a Constitutional candidate, Rep. Dr. Ron Paul, doesn’t fit the crooked pajama”s “straw poll” slanted agenda in spite of the fact the poll shows Ron Paul the leader for the Republicans.
[…] February 21st, 2007 Ron Paul’s Presidential Exploratory Committee started accepting on-line contributions today. Now is the time to show the anti-constitution establishment where you stand. They have already decided who can be be bought and paid for, and those are the folks they deem as the “front-runners”. They will do everything they can to hide Ron Paul and his message. He scares the hell out of them. The evidence is everywhere – from refusing to cover him in the mainstream media to excluding him from polls. […]
yah this is a terrible thing both of my candidates are missing! Kucinich and Paul….
Thank you for bringing this news to light. I emailed them also, and told them “shame on you.” It is just a sign of the times – when reality doesn’t fit the news, they think changing the news will change the reality. Pathetic.

Hello
Bye
Don’t give up Ron. I’m a veteran, I don’t have much money per month now, but i will give you everything i can if only a few dollars to support your cause. I know the ‘establishment’ dont like you because you have a backbone and wont support special interest groups. Don’t let them push you around, stand for what you belive in and make this country great once again instead of a bankrupt police state.
Sounds like Orwell. Oceania is at war with East Asia, or is it Eurasia. The truth is hard to hide. Ron Paul is the best candidate.
Ron Paul won in the poll because any sane american can see he is the best hope for our country.
The media continue to ignore Ron Paul…we dont need them either…If he doesnt make the ballot we can just write him in…Ron Paul 2008…word is spreading…
I voiced my displeasure with Pajama’s bullshit.
It may not mean much, but maybe if enough people do something will happen.
Ron’s the Republican answer to Harry Truman. The democrats hated Truman, and tried to starve his campaign against Dewey. Sometimes though, the people can overrule the party, nominate and elect the man they want.

I wrote them:
>>I’m amazed that when a very sizeable proportion of Republicans not in the thrall of the warhawks responded to Ron Paul’s views the way most Americans did at the polls last November, your response was to eliminate from the list of choices the only GOP candidate whose views are actually mainstream American.
The journalism professor I worked for on my college paper taught that such approaches are unacceptable. Times have changed.
Is Pajamas Media is that journalistically dishonest?
You either live IN Freedom —
the virtual realm where each person and their inalienable rights are paramount
or you live UNDER Officialdom —
the realm where elites grant to their favoreds political privileges that go by the rhetorical names
– political rights
– civil rights
– civil liberties
– freedoms
– income tax deduction
– earned income credit
– subsidy
You can choose any of the Elites of Officialdom who might or might not grant you privileges —
– Hillary Clinton
– Barack Obama
– John Edwards
– Rudy Giuliani
– Mitt Romney
– John McCain
OR you can choose one person who represents you in FREEDOM.
That person is Ron Paul.
How will you choose? CHOOSE FREEDOM!
It’s a shame when the country cries out for someone like Ron Paul; lower taxes,less government regulation,less foreign aid etc; but when that person comes along to fit that description to a tee he is censored,damned and cursed!!

This is great! His support is so huge here in Atlanta that everyone is talking about him out on the streets and the subject is the fact that sites like this are excluding him. This is causing people to look at Ron Paul as the real thing. He won the straw poll in N.H. which is NOT the internet!!
Who the heck is Ron Paul, obviously NOT the front runner. I’ve never even heard of him.

It’s because Ron Paul speaks the truth and there are less and less mindless drones in this country. Ron Paul is our only hope and the only way America becomes the greatest Country ever. Do on to others as you would have them do on to you!!!
I sent them this;

I guess you guy’s “Fixed” your poll for president… Ooooops, there goes your credibility.
Surprisingly I have found a lot of sites taking Ron Paul’s name off their straw polls. I have emailed every single one of them and put my vote for Ron Paul in via email.
Sorry had to post again I say even if he doesn’t get the nomination we should all write him in anyway. There I’ve said my peace.
wellllll…..this is bullshit, of course…It seems that Pajamas is just making an excuse of “spamming” because they are in favor of the Rude Dude….My country tis of thee, sweet land of LIBERTY…..
The ultimate revenge for these blatant attempts to propagandize is to donate money. Everytime you find out he’s censored donate $10 – $2300 to his campaign. We must send a message to Washington that the American People are the most important Special Interest in the US.

If the Media insists on lying, than the best thing we can do is cancel our cable T.V. subscription. If the media is going to act as a “false profit” than let them “pay for it.” Let us start a national cancel your cable campaign, to support Ron Paul.

I guess I’m one of those spammers too, because I really think Ron Paul is the best candidate I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve never, and I repeat NEVER been interested in politics until he came on the scene.
I visited my sister’s college this weekend and there were Ron Paul signs everywhere. There’s 100s of people in the local Ron Paul group up here in the University of Michigan. There’s no groups for any other candidate. I’d say he’s got like 90% of the vote up here.
Maybe there really is a lot more supporters than people realize.
There isn’t much difference between all the other
candidates . Not much between the democrates and the
other republicans . The only one that is going to
give us back our lives and get us less government
intrusion is Ron Paul .
Dear Pajama’s: Congratulations on your most recent vault toward destroying democracy. If Paul wins in 2008 will you all attribute that to “glitches”, or “spamming”. What is going on with you corrupt people? Why don’t you media outlets report on the popular response, not what response is popular to you?
This is another disgrace to our way of life.. The government wants us to be a dummied socialist police state, they do not want to abide by the constitution and the press is nothing but a scummy socialist puppet. The press wants nothing to do with Ron Paul!!! Our constitution says we must revolt against our government when they do not do the will of the people!!!! Ron Paul knows we must follow the constitution or be totally LOST!! Thank God for Ron Paul. I will vote for him even if he’s not on the ticket.. I’ll scratch his name into the ballot with my bloody finger nails if I have too.. Fight the government America!!! because the government knows we are the middle class and we are the only group that will fight them for control of our country!!!
Can you guys please take note that this post is dated February? I have been voting for Paul in Pajamas Media since March or April (so long ago that I don’t remember exactly), when they put him back in.
Just make sure you register in time and then actually vote. All of this buzz means nothing if you dont put it to action.
Many people have posted that as soon as they heard of Ron Paul and his message they became an instant supporter, and their families to, freedom seems to be contagious. All we need to do is get Ron Paul’s message of liberty and freedom for all to as many Americans as we can. We all know that the mainstream media is not going to do it, but that’s ok, we don’t need them. There are many ways to get Ron Paul’s message to the masses, here are some ideas:
1. Signs and stickers (Get creative, make your own signs,and those of you with artistic abilities can use eye
catching graphics. For example, maybe a poster
Depicting Ron Paul with a fire hose extinguishing the Bill of Rights or the Constitution which are on fire.
In addition to saying Ron Paul for President also include a message.
For example: “Live Free or Die! Ron Paul for President”. Or
“Please Help Save Our Liberties! Ron Paul for President”.
Also you might want to post a link to you art work for others
that are not so artistic to use.
2. Put together a DVD or CD of Ron Pauls Speeches and
Clips of him delivering his message, you can find these all
over the web or even on You Tube. Buy a 50 or 100
pack of blank DVD’s or CD’s (you can get them cheap at
Big Lots or other discount stores) and burn this message on to them, take care to put it into a format that is easy to view. Also if you have any video editing skills you should include a message letting people know that they need to register republican as soon as
possible to vote in the primaries.
Hand them out to who ever you can and maybe leave some
on supermarket bulletin boards free for the taking.
Make a small holder for them that is eye catching and
invites people’s curiosity. For example write on it (”
You can help us save America before it too late, please
view this very important message! Its free!”). Or how about
leave some in public, perhaps on a bus bench
or park bench or even the ground. Write on them
“Top Secrete” or “ What Ever You Do, DO NOT View This DVD”.
That might spark people’s curiosity. Remember, Dr Paul told us to get creative.
The goal is to get his message viewed by as many people as possible,then let them make up there own minds. People react to video more than any other media, I think this is the best way to deliver his message.
If you can,post a link to your video in any comments that you write so that other Ron Paul supporters can download and burn them too.
3. At some Ron Paul support sites you can purchase a Ron Paul Rubber stamp or you can inexpensively have one custom made that says your favorite Liberty quote along with “Ron Paul for President”. Use this stamp on all
mail that you send or on anything that you can “Legally” stamp.
I have seen a Ron Paul stamp on a one dollar bill but I don’t know if that is legal to do or not, you might want to look in to it before stamping any money.
4. Use a graphic arts program to create a Ron Paul liberty dollar that looks similar to a dollar bill with Ron Paul’s image and liberty messages on it.
If it looks close to real money you can leave it lying around just about anywhere and someone will pick it up and look at it. If you are a business owner you can give some out to your good customers as coupons worth one dollar a piece.
5. You can purchase large Ron Paul car window decals at some support sights or even buy them on eBay. Large decals on cars attract a lot of attention and just think about how many vehicles see your car each day when you are out there on the road, this is very effective advertising if you are trying to get your candidates
name recognized.
There are many more ways to get Paul’s message to the masses. Remember, the message of freedom is not hard to sell to the American people, We The People just need to be enlightened to the fact that our constitution and our freedom is currently under relentless attack. Most people are not aware of this and as soon as they do become aware of this they to will become outraged, then they to will join the fight to save liberty for ALL!
I encourage anyone that can think up any other effective methods to spread Paul’s message to copy and paste this list and add your ideas to it then spread it to others. If we can each just pick one method to spread Paul’s message it will spread incredibly fast, because his message is very contagious and as soon as other Americans hear it, they to will become Ron Paul supporters, then they to will want to learn more about Ron Paul,then they to will want to spread the message of freedom for all Americans.
Please read my message ill make it short
ron paul is not censored because hes liberterian or his views on the economy….
he is the first candidate with a chance that is against the support of israel and all media i repeat all media is catered around Israel in the US everything else is flexible.(thats why you wont notice)
the only reason you know about him is the internet and rupert and co. are trying to control it too.israel is an ally but should not come first to US interest but it has for the past 20-40 years thanks to the media and our govt
please spread the word ifyou dont believe me,
look at israel news in any major news source(for the past 20 years) and then look at a less biased source (international) or even arabian one ( the difference is usually night and day) has been for most of your lifetimes.
Ron Paul cannot be elected unless the average amrican realizes this.(I dont think this will happen therefore I am not sure if he can)
DONT GIVE UP ON RON PAUL. ANYONE NOTICE HOW HE’S THE ONLY ONE MENTIONING CIVIL LIBERTIES? STRANGE…AINT IT? THAT HE’S BEING IGNORED.
The media doesn’t give enough credit to Ron Paul. He has been able raise insane amounts of funds from the people, and NOT from lobbyists like all the other candidates on both sides.
Just the fact he has defeated Giuliani twice already only should make everyone supporting Paul to get out and help!
If all else fails, Ron Paul should run for a third party candidacy! I know I would vote for him.
Bring the politics, and whatever else. Never censored.

That is purely ridiculous.
He also won the Fox8 polls and Colmes said he doesnt believe there was anyway he won, when the numbers were right in front of us.
It’s not our fault that America supports Ron Paul and what he stands for.
VOTE RON PAUL.
For some reason they want to denie us the right of voting for Ron Paul, but he won in this poll.

The points above are all very insightful, thanks very much.
I think your blog is Awesome! I’m actually launching a web publishing platform that I thought of last year when supporting Ron Paul. It’s called Adeyoh.com and you should definitely publish your blog there, it’ll to do great!
