ALERT! Freepers hacking this poll!!!

[The Doctor.]

Did you think the inauguration speech was inspiring?

In 30 minutes this poll went from;

Yes, inspiring - 1289
didn't see - 1039
No- S.O.S. - 1014

-to-

Yes - 4593
didn't see - 1059
No - 1057

That can't be right.

Get on it!

1. Yes do it, Massively Freeped in the past 20 minutes.

I responded to this about 1/2 hour ago and it was 61% combined sucked/didn't watch. Now its 70 inspired/30 other two. Thanks

2. done nt

[tx_dem41]

3. Well, its nice to know that the Freepers have turned into Wilsonian

Democrats. Lord, this world is mighty confusing!

[New Earth]

4. man

they even cheat in online polls. :puke:

[shesemsmom]

5. We know they are here

they must lead a pretty boring life if all they ahve time to do is read our posts. (How do you moon somebody on line) (Ox0) Does that work. I won't waste time to see what they are up to but obviously we interest them. You think that they are worried.? I hope so. Maybe they will see the light....lol

8. How do you moon somebody on line - Like this!

[shesemsmom]

9. Hey I didn't see that in the emodicons???

[AntiCoup2K4]

22. It's not here. I borrowed it from my "other" online home.

Send Skinner a PM. Maybe he'll add it to the list :evilgrin:

[shesemsmom]

24. Good idea. But will you send it

I'm not computer literate enough to move yours to show him . Thanks

6. So what, a poll of this type doesn't mean anything anyway

[The Doctor.]

10. It will be referenced by someone, at some point.

It matters to some degree because the SPT (St. Petersburg Times) poll will be used to give more ammo to Joe sixpack to ignore reality.

Kind of like when you see a movie trailer and it gets rave reviews;

"I was amazed at the astounding action" - Amarillo Gazette.

"A non-stop thrill-ride of massive proportions" - Cornelius Flyer.

As opposed to;

"I couldn't believe the tired plot devices" - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times.

"It's trash" - New York Post.

Joe sixpack does not understand 'source citation'.
So we do what we can to take away some ammo.

No one is asking you to dedicate a year of your life to this poll, just go say 'no' and pass it on... spend 15 minutes posting elsewhere and telling people.

Unless it kills you. - then don't

7. WTF does it matter??

I am sick and tired of the amount of time and effort given to these internet polls. If they can be Freeped or DUed, what do they mean? NOTHING!!

[The Doctor.]

12. Think of this....

How did they get 5000 responses in 40 minutes?

How come the 'No's got barely 50?

That should tell a story all by itself.

[seriousstan]

17. It doesn't matter. People here ask to DU a poll and people there

ask to Freep a poll. The polls are irrelevant and BS.

[The Doctor.]

19. Just wait till some 'moran' cites it... wouldn't it be funny if

It's an MSM whore?

They'll be citing a fact too.

"A recent Florida Poll says the Inaugural address was inspiring to 95% of Americans! - Now that's unity. This President has a Mandate after all."

Just wait.

[The Doctor.]

26. So you say there is no meaning to this discrepancy? You don't get it?

This is a microcosm my friend... for something, well, more.

Think on that.

[theresistance]

16. I for one think its good

to highlight these polls and vote in them.

[moggie12]

11. Now "Yes" is up to 6,325!!!!!! n/t

[The Doctor.]

15. (Don't let on that we're just distracting them from the BIG poll...) nt

[theresistance]

13. Voted NO

Yes was at 75%, No 13%

[Dinger]

14. I Remember A Hacked/Freeped CNN Poll (Pre-2004 Selection)

It changed pro-repug, something like 100,000 every 10 minutes. I think it was a "Who will you vote for question." (*, Kerry) It was strong Kerry, then whap!
Strong * - way too fast, WAY TOO FAST! Very, very strange. No way in hell was that "poll" legit, no way in hell

[The Doctor.]

18. Yeah - It's a guy with a remodulating IP address set to

revisit and revote every three seconds or so... just take a minute-by minute sample and you'll see it's automated.

We're not that stupid - but the rest of America is.

[Contrary1]

20. Sorry, but shrub's speech really was "moving and inspiring"...

It moved me to the bathroom and inspired me to heave.

[RUMPLEMINTZ]

21. Now that made me

[proud patriot]

23. Freepers Cheaters , multi voting Weiners

:P

[The Doctor.]

25. It stopped, just now...

It was going up @ 40.7 votes per minute, then it stopped at 7679.

Interesting.

Do we know any Poll-busters?

The technique seems obvious.

It's creepy - it stopped right at 78%.

Get someone to vote - see if there's a correspondance.

[The Doctor.]

27. Looks locked to 78 % - interesting. nt

[Crandor]

28. They cheat alright...

Apparently Freepers have nothing better to do than click a button repeatedly for hours on end. :)

[proud patriot]

29. they have no honor, for shame

:-(

[The Doctor.]

31. LOL! - why didn't you quote this 'Widowwind' ass?

"We'll show those DemocRATs how to play the game!

Disable those cookies and we can vote repeatedly.
Don'tlet those cheaters win!"

- that one's even better!

[BakerAct895]

30. It's a Florida paper

so I'm not surprised.

[BakerAct895]

32. WOW

74% yes it's unbelievable

[Contrary1]

33. Let them have it...

They're just emulating their esteemed pResident. "Winning by
any means is acceptable, but let's just cheat to make sure."

[NuttyFluffers]

34. oh lord, someone develop an 'edit polls' script already...

these easily jacked polls are such bullshit, why is anyone bothering? ugh. they are all a waste of time!

someone find a way to put things like: the speech was... zestfully clean. this daily poll crap is getting old.
