I just love it when the Bad news Bubbas and Bettys come running in to

[cliffordu]

spew the latest horrific poll results when in the last two days two(?) of the major pollsters have admitted that basically, they are completely skewing the samples....

gotta keep it a horse race and keep the chaos in here going.....

[WeDidIt]

1. I put the pricks on ignore

I have more assholes on ignore today than I did during the primaries.

[FrenchieCat]

2. I hadn't thought of putting them on ignore!

Thank you!

[cliffordu]

4. There are an awful lot of the little shits running around. I'd like to know

how many are actually operatives for the other side. Some of the worst offenders are people with post counts over 2500....it's amazing, actually.

[WeDidIt]

16. somewhere between 99.99% and 99.999% is my best estimate

the rest are just mavericks.

[alcibiades_mystery]

24. Various Persian rulers from Canada, etc.

Troll-like motherfuckers, those.

[Cha]

7. I just hide their fucking threads. There's

no reason anyone who isn't working for Obama Biden should be on this Board.

[cliffordu]

9. yep - I'd kick all their asses out........but that's just me and I'm just cranky....

[Cha]

15. Agreed..We went through all that dissension in the long long

primaries..now it's time for DemocraticUnderground to come together as one for our candidates Obama and Biden.

They'll always be trolls but that's what stone cold and rock hard pizza is for.

[phleshdef]

3. Good news for people who love bad news.

[ErinBerin84]

5. me too.

It's different when people who contribute regularly on subjects OTHER than the bad news bears threads express concern, but certain people only show up to shit on the parade, and are MIA otherwise. Fucking annoying.

[cliffordu]

6. It is Monday and they did have a terrible weekend. Must be all hands on deck over

at the gramps/mooselini camp.

[blondeatlast]

13. Bona fides mean a lot. If you or cliffordu or many other posters are worried, I'll pay attention.

If it's the usual suspects with high post counts and/or long histories posting gloom and doom, I alert without replying.

One especially with a split personality, but it is long-lived here.

[cliffordu]

21. Ill thank you for that vote of confidence, but really, we are in a fight for the

very future of life on this planet - we cannot hesitate, we cannot fade, we cannot falter.

8. Why they don't get it that polls don't matter til after the debates

And even then, with all the unlikely voters out there, it's impossible to come up with an accurante poll. I'm wasting my typing here. They don't listen.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

10. IBTL

Just because polls do not interest you doesn't warrant name-calling people who post them.

Polls are unexceptional topics in a political discussion forum.

[cliffordu]

11. I'm not talking about the folks who regulary post positive news as well as the

negative - I'm talking about the ones that do NOTHING but look for and post the most miserable crap they can find.

I'm just sayin -

For what it's worth - I aint talking about you.

[Kdillard]

12. Amen.

[madcaplaughed]

14. even though i dont believe it

you've got admit, it is a bit worrying.

[progressivebydesign]

17. they love to breathlessy post the republican interal polling PR bullshit.

It amazes me that so many polls have been posted here that are done by and for the repubs with the sole purpose of skewing the media.

This happens every election at DU... it's a mix of trolls and people who are trying to be helfpul. Just so hard to tell the diff.

[FrenchieCat]

18. People who hide their dislike for our nominee........

are here at DU. Some are more discreet than others.....but at the end of the day, their threads are recognizable to the trained eye.

[cliffordu]

22. That's exactly right, Frenchiecat, and they come out in DROVES when the

other side has a bad day.....just like clockwork.

[WeDidIt]

19. I like the truly obvious craptastic pricks.

They're the ones who wait for Rasmussen to post five state poll results just so they can start a thread about each result instead of one thread for all.

[SOS]

20. It sure is odd

that these BS polls are taken seriously by people and the corporate media, but exit polls (which show the Democrat winning) are always dismissed as inaccurate.
The media was purchased by Republican corporations (Time Warner, Fox, Viacom etc).
Perhaps it's time to investigate the ownership of these polling outfits.

[DainBramaged]

23. Yup, if it ain't a stripper pole, it ain't worth looking at.
