Who the fuck do CNN think they're fooling?
How is it possible that theirs is the only poll that has Bush winning the debate?

1. Yes, something is seriously f'd up on that poll.
It wouldn't let me vote until I switched to Internet Explorer.

13. hmm... I'm using safari. Still, even if it only accepts IE, that doesn't
explain their ridiculous numbers.

2. Someone is running script
CNN's polls are easily hacked. Childishly easy.

3. They must have changed the question
Now it says did the debate answer your questions on domestic and foreign policy?

I don't think anyone will freep that question. It's too inane.

4. Is this their online poll or what?
If it's online, it's skewed by certain freeper websites.

NO WAY could it be a real poll. I'd be laughing my ass off! Sort of like Superman debating Porky Pig, ya know? Some things ya just can't sell to the general public...

5. Last week, they insisted their poll was "skewed in Kerry's favor"
because it had "a bunch of Kerry people up early this morning watching this."

Wonder if they'll be so quick to discount this obviously "skewed" poll.

8. You see? it's biased. NOW they should trash it like they did before.
When it was 80/20 for Kerry.... Remember that?

9. CNN is just a bunch of White House stenographers - not free press.
The fact that Daryl Kagan is dating Rush Limbaugh -- and she's the one that had the dust-up with David Letterman by claiming the White House said the tape was edited(when it wasn't.

Then you've got Neo-Con Schneider, the U-Boat Captain Blitzkrieg, Judy Woof-Woof, Larry (Night of the Living Dead) King, and the whole cast of characters.

Turn 'em off.

10. STOP!!
Edited on Thu Oct-14-04 12:07 AM by Joefess
Sorry but I need to quote myself from the other thread on this topic...

Please people, stop thinking that these are legitimate votes. Just as we seen after the last debate someone is hitting these CNN polls with either anon proxy servers or perl scripts that can cast votes, tons of votes in a short amount of time.

15. Oh I know...

It's our job. I'm just hoping to get through to those who think this is not happening, or that think that REAL people are voting. Even if all the freepers in the US knew to vote in the CNN polls, they couldn't pull off 100+ thousand votes in less then an hour. The last poll like this was heavy Kerry, then the next day someone let loose their hax and made 400k votes in a matter of hours.

At this pace, this poll will probably have 700k votes for bush by lunchtime tomorrow. lol
