IMPORTANT: Freepers talking about using scripts on polls

Freeping Polls a better method? (Vanity)

I think the DNC and DU are using software to sway the online polls. If they dont keep track of the IP Ive noticed that if you clear your cookies and cache you can vote all you want on some, tedious and time consuming. Now I know there is software to "teach" your mouse to do the same task over and over. THAT is what I think the left is doing. Some of these poll results are total jokes and simply not possible.

That is why online polls are neither scientific or accurate...

Some are running robot scripts, others are attacking these polls by brute force. You would be better served to send every editor and talk radio host a copy of the DNC email that indicated they would flood every poll they could con after the debate.

They tried to DUpe the public. Phone polls have not shown these same 88% Kerry results. Democrats are desperate, this is all they can do to sway public opinion.

You're right.
Anyone with a little java expertise could write a script to vote over and over.

Which is why I feel most online polls are worthless.

Unfortunately, the average sheeple doesn't know this. I'm sure they are influenced by the online polls, even though most polls have a disclaimer.

I'm more terrified of democrats using less than legal methods on the polls that count on 11/2

There was someone on FR that was quite good at hitting the polls. He could make them jump up hundreds of votes in seconds.

I am too. But I think it can be seen as illegal (and possibly twisted into hacking) by hitting a poll on a site repeatedly with a script. Could be construed as a DDoS

Hmm... we should have a central database, "surepticiously" check it. and let the thing fall into the DUmies hands... so that the vote they are thinking it gives, is not the real vote.

Not a central script chief, a little gui you can run on your desktop, with it throttled of course to prevent DDosing a poll.

Or better yet, no repeat votes, just one click and you voted the "party Line" on all polls in the db

That's an excellent point. Being from Florida I can tell you many Republicans here are very afraid that with our hurricane situation we're very vulnerable to voter fraud. And if the Dem's are anywhere close to beating George all the lawyers will find a way to hijack our state for Kerry. I know were still about 30 days away from the election but my polling place is gone and no one has as of yet been able to tell me where I'll go to vote. You can all expect Florida to be an even bigger mess than in 2000. Just hope for GW to have a landslide victory so it doesn't matter.

That's why I don't waste time with online polls. Especially at liberal media websites.

1. There's a reason why it's called "Freeping" a poll.

For them to feign innocent shock at this point is pretty hilarious.

[belle]

4. It is fascinating to see the schizophrenic thinking at work...

[Dogmudgeon]

2. Free Republic has its own how-to guide. Oh, the irony!

--bkl

[durablend]

3. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Someone call the WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMBULANCE

[fertilizeonarbusto]

5. Hm

They must be imitating their idol and heavily hitting the sauce.

[Was_Immer]

6. theyre all morons

living in a trailer park

[proud patriot]

10. With No Honor

[Not Me]

7. We all saw and heard what happened...

we don't need to slam no stinkin' online polls.

[liberal N proud]

8. It must be something they are familiar with? Fixing polls? n/t

[proud patriot]

9. Hey freeps , when you point , you have three fingers pointing back at you

We here at DU Frown on the Free Republic tactic of
voting multiple times . You see we have HONOR and
INTEGRITY .

I have always Voted one time in the polls .

I wonder how the freeps sleep at night .

[MallRat]

11. Freepers: "No fair! It's only OK when WE do it!"

Eat. Me. Freepers.

[Fear]

12. hacking

making *ANY* poll jump a coupla hundred votes is easy - which is also why ALL polls on the internet ARE BULLSHIT!
The bad thing is - there are still alot of people thinking polls are a good representation of the truth. Modifying cookies (or sometimes even turning them OFF), spoofing IP address, running scripts....or here's the best one. Run in frames or iframe a script for posting to polls on busy websites, that's the easiest way to gain hits on polls from different IP addresses by people who are totally unaware what's happening in the background. Please note, most of it is conciderred hacking.....

[Zookeeper]

13. After the 2000 Florida debacle, I'm amazed by JanetteS's..

paranoid rant about the "threat" of Dems "hijacking" the vote!!! I guess the freepers are terrified by the thought of being blocked from cheating again.

[VOX]

14. Ah, yes, from the party that loves "high moral standards!"

And "has God" in the White House. Sure is nice to actually witness the democratic process at work among the right wing. :puke:

[Politicub]

15. WHHHAAAAA -- Put some ice on it freepers

I know it hurts that your boy lost last night, but the sting will pass.

[Demi_Babe]

16. LMMFAO

[dubyaD40web]

17. Please post more freeper quotes...

This is some of the funniest stuff I've read in months.
These guys are frikking hilarious!

[MazeRat7]

18. Possible YES, ethical NO

Believe me when I say I have been "tempted" many times to make a poll jump in our favor. However, I have not for a variety or reasons... none of them being technical all of them being ethical.

Personally, if a group has to resort to "fudging" results to try an influence others, then well... they are simply republicans.

19. Hey!!!! They're stealing our tinfoil!!!!!

:hi: :tinfoilhat:

[txindy]

20. Software?!

Oh, good grief! They must be drowning in Kool-aid if they believe that. :dunce:

The country saw a train wreck in slow motion last night. They are reacting in the polls. Deal. With. It.

[HFishbine]

21. ATTENTION DUers: Get your poll spamming script here

(I hope the freepers don't get a hold of it. It's easy enough to modify.)

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. I am sitting here with tears in my eyes.

After reading the words beloved son, loving fiance, big sister, little brother, mother of two. Thank you for sharing that, it helps keep the mission in mind. :hug:

[Mizmoon]

24. That is one POWERFUL script

people should be careful with it!

[HFishbine]

Please make sure it doesn't get in the wrong hands.
