The Freepers Amazing Post-Debate On-line Poll Strategy
Edited on Wed Oct-13-04 10:30 PM by pelagius
They're not "freeping" any on-line polls, so that the polls will be so lopsidely Kerry they'll not be credible and therefore shut down:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1244423/posts

They're excited the strategy is working because -- sure enough! -- the polls are running heavily in Kerry's favor. Damn! They've caught America in their trap, those brilliant strategists.

Now if we can just get them to stay away from the real polls November 2. It will look like Kerry wins in landslide, but -- ha, ha! -- he really didn't.

4. This is too funny.
They realized from the last three debates that they couldn't beat us at this game. Their "strategery" is just a sad way of throwing in the towel without admitting they've lost. Keep up the great work Freepers!
:evilgrin:

...for tipping the on-line polls, let's not forget we had a secret weapon of our own: our candidates actually WON THE FREAKING DEBATES.

9. During the second and third debates, the freepers used our lists.
I was assuming that the large majority of those voting were from forums like this one, and we were just hitting these polls with greater numbers.

Now that I'm thinking about it, the average American with internet(s?) access, would probably go surfing around and vote in the polls they came across. At best, we are making these people feel better for voting for the Dem candidates. I've been hearing from a lot of fence sitters that they're thinking of voting for Bush* because "we need to support our president". I think this will be defused as more and more people arrive at the conclusion that our president is a fucking moron.

15. Tell those fence sitters that they 'need to support our COUNTRY.'
And the only way they can do that is by voting for Kerry. If they vote for *, there won't BE a US of A anymore.

8. Have they been using this "strategy" all along?
The online polls look the same as the first two debates...

10. The 10 people at FR wouldn't sway the online polls
anyway... They realize it is pointless to even try. It would just show how irrelevant the are.

11. furious george can only get just so far on shallow charm
and a joke or two. People need health care and jobs,
furious george has no answers because his party does
not believe in helping the people.

furious george is about to change his address!

12. They're lying between their teeth because they know we are lurking
.. on their site and it is a lame attempt to get us to report this shit back.

Truh is, there are not enough DUers hitting the polls tonite to make up those kinds of numbers. I'd wager a bet that all the FReepers have coordinated to hit the polls tonite and this is truly the best they can do!

17. OK, I went over there and read the posts. lmao.
They must all be related to * in some way. How else to explain this?

One writes:

"You know, I just realized that all of these polls would be open for the whole world to vote, so were seeing the Frogs, Taliban,Al Queda and every other bizarro group imagineable stacking the numbers in kerry's favor. There's no way FR has enough people to counteract the entire world."

And another responds:

"OMG Excellent Point!! And here I am, thinking it's just the DUmmies. -It's the whole damn planet!"

ME again. One 'just NOW realizes' that the whole world can access the internetS. The other has a light bulb (dim bulb) moment when it is pointed out to him/her/it. Now I get the 'community college' remark from *. He was talking to 'his base.' Higher education would be wasted on these people. OK, higher education would be impossible for these people. :evilgrin:
Although the first poster here does show signs of high intelligence. How else to explain this deduction? "There's no way FR has enough people to counteract the entire world."
Absolute fucking brilliance, yes? :crazy:

~~~Please note all spelling mistakes are from the freepers.
'internetS' is spelled that way by me, in honor of our :puke: village idiot *.
