CNBC “explains” why they took the poll down

Because Ron Paul was winning.

No firm allegation that there was spamming. Just in their humble opinion, there is no way Ron Paul is good enough to get 75% of the vote when no “scientific poll” rates him that highly.

It’s scary when you find out how dumb top executives can be.

To put up a poll where the respondents are self-selected and then attack it because it fails to mirror the results of polls where the respondents are not self-selected is just dumb.

Throughout all of history, politics has been dominated by small groups that had a greater intensity of interest than the rest. Our country is largely in a mess because it is ruled by small, elite, and secretive special interest groups. That’s okay, right CNBC?

But when the activists seek to change a system dominated by special interest groups, suddenly intensity of support is a fault, a vice, a crime.
