Combining the Polls Project: The Results Are In.

June 6th, 2007 6:52 am  |  by  |  Published in Election, Maven Commentary, Media, Politics, Polling  |  0

In my previous post, I proposed the following:

What if we were to take 4 online polls and 4 national scientific polls and assign a reliability factor to them. Let’s say 30% for the online polls and 70% for the scientific polls, what would the results be?

Well, I’ve done the research and the calculations. The results are in…

Does Ron Paul have “Winnability”? An Analysis of Polling.

June 6th, 2007 4:48 am  |  by  |  Published in Maven Commentary, Media, Politics, Polling  |  1

In the exploration of whether Ron Paul can actually win the GOP nomination we look to the various online polls in combination with the perceived “official” and “scientific” national and state polls by pollsters such as Rasmussen and Zogby. If we look only at the online unscientific polls Ron Paul would be the nominee. If we look only at the scientific polls then Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, or John McCain would be the nominee. Do the scientific polls give us the “right” answer simply because they are deemed scientific? Are they even scientific? Let’s examine these questions. Read More »

Ron Paul on CNN GOP Debate 6/5/2007

I think Ron Paul did an excellent job in this debate.  Again, he’s not overly charismatic, but you can tell he believes deeply in his message.  Well, I do too Dr. Paul, but once again I sure wish he had more questions.  I don’t think that will ever change though, as long as the media annointed front runners remain the likes of Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, and Mitt Romney.

“The hand that gives is above the hand that takes.”

June 5th, 2007 4:20 am  |  by  |  Published in Banking, Debt, Economics, Federal Reserve, History, Liberty, Philosophy  |  0

Napoleon Bonaparte said the words, “The hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency: their sole object is gain.”

He believed that any government that borrows money from private banks, the government no longer controls the country, the private bank owners do.

This is explained, in perhaps too much detail, in this fascinating documentary entitled: “The Money Masters: How International Bankers Gained Control of America.” It is pretty long at 90 minutes, but I found it extremely informative and interesting.

Ron Paul will have an opportunity to hear Rudy Giuliani apologize and tell him how much of his required reading got done.  Yeah right.  It should be interesting to see who attacks Ron this time, and how.

He certainly has…

Ron Paul will apear on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on June 4th on Comedy Central.  Hopefully, Stewart will be as supportive as Bill Maher was when Paul appeared on his HBO show last week.  That’s all for this one.  Short and sweet.  Watch it, record it, love it.
