I spoke to my mother today while I was on the road in South Dakota. I hadn’t spoken to her since the straw poll. She told me that when she was watching the results on Faux News, she didn’t see Ron Paul. She was very disappointed because she thought that meant that he scored below all of the other people they mentioned. Why didn’t they mention Ron Paul? Good question. I saw this screen shot uploaded to the Ron Paul for President Facebook Group:
Weren’t there a couple of guys between Brownback and Thompson? Hmmm…..
To be fair, they didn’t just exclude Ron Paul here, they also excluded Tancredo, which is equally wrong. These results are just plain misleading!
They’ve done the same thing on their website. Here is what they said:
Romney scored 4,516 votes to outpace former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee who had 2,587 votes. Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback was third with 2,192 votes.
Announcement of the results was delayed for 90 minutes because a hand count was required on one of the 18 machines.
The biggest loser of the evening likely was former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson, who finished in 6th place with 1,039 votes. He had said repeatedly that if he didn’t finish in the top two his campaign was likely to end. He left the event before the results were announced, and there was no announcement from his campaign.
The missing big names got only a handful of votes.
HELLO!!!!!! Where is your journalistic integrity, faux? I guess you’re implying that some other people got more than a handful of votes. How about that one guy…you know…the one with the huge internet following? Did he get “only a handful of votes”?
We have to redouble our efforts to make this thing work. We will.
