Ron Paul Erased from History on RCP

I took a trip down the memory hole today.  I was looking at "real clear politics" and browsing around I saw a link for a comparison of current polling status to historical data from previous Republican primary elections in Iowa.  Something did not look right because Ron Paul was not even on the poll at all for 2012!

This is particularly ironic because on their own website the truth is shown in the archives and Paul was in fact leading in all the polls leading up to the Iowa caucus in 2012.

Not to mention the fact that Ron Paul actually won 21 out of 25 delegates from Iowa to the Republican National Convention in the end.

Apparently the dirty tricks against Ron Paul continue to this day.  Is it any wonder?  Sadly it is not surprising to those of us who were involved with the Ron Paul presidential campaigns since 2007 that have seen this sort of blatant censorship of reality over and over again.

of "Real" & "Clear" into perspective. Kind of like "Fair & Balanced".

It is very Orwellian.  Doublethink says Santorum "won" the Iowa caucus in 2012 because he supposedly got more votes in a straw poll that doesn't actually count for anything but Paul "lost" even though he captured 84% of the State's delegates to the National Convention which are the people who are supposed to determine the nominee.  Its all very "real and clear", "fair and balanced".

I hate to say it, but he was also "erased" at the DP in 2012. That link you provided still showed Dr. Paul's picture and the words "The Daily Paul is inspired by". The site then supposedly stood for "Peace Gold Love". I'll leave it at that.

Find out where the most active supporters are so they know where to target the suppression.  I saw it first hand in Washington at the Caucuses and Conventions.  The party apparatchiks literally removed voting ballots and machines in one instance I was personally involved with as a volunteer Ron Paul supporter in 2012.  That was just the tip of the iceberg believe me I could go on about all the corruption but you get the idea.  Here is some links to posts I made at the time.

but, "AAARRRGGGHH, don't remind me" - LOL. It's infuriating to say the least, when you're raised thinking we live in a "fair" country, that's nothing like "evil" Russia or China. But definitely something to keep in mind and not ever forget.
