Freeps busted on Murtha poll
Did anyone see CNN's Situation Room just before 5:00? In the Blog section, they covered the poll that Congressman Murtha had on his website. There was some flak about it being taken down. Turns out the reason was that it was freeped and they know it. The Blog girl suggested he hire someone who's web-savvy to allow only one vote per viewer.

I was in the middle of a submit when they pulled the poll.
I received a message "blah blah blah requested page not found"instead of the results page. I didn't have the foresight to save the before/after of the page.
I had been submitting for about 20 minutes.

The Rat's had to be running a script at the time cause the % went from 53% down to 46% in a heartbeat for answer "C".

And another:

I don't know about anyone else, usually I avoid these stupid polls because I know how they can be fixed, but participating in this one today put up by 'Cut and Run Murtha' was for a worthy cause and I about wore my finger and mouse out.

5. I called his district office today to give him my support.
He's my rep. I mentioned the poll to the young man I was speaking to and that it had been tampered with. He laughed and said that they realized that.

They are still getting phone calls from all over the country supporting Congressman Murtha. His staffers are very nice and seem to be well-informed! :)

6. They're sure gonna be busy trying to pretend they're the majority
Edited on Wed Nov-23-05 05:40 PM by nini
The gig is up guys. Seriously.. the polls show you are in the minority in this country. 65% of Americans have had enough and are sick of the lies. Voting in online polls to skew the results will NEVER erase the reality - but then reality isn' exactly what they deal with anyway.


Poor little dorks.. ain't gonna be a happy holiday season for them.

10. I called Congressman Murtha's office today also.
I told them that we are the majority and I know it! Also told them that I feel that the congressman is correct on the war issue. I told them what I knew about the freep site and what they had done to the poll. They were up to date on it.

It is to bad that they lie, cheat to make a point. Are these people the so called religious right? If so, would God want them to lie and cheat? I think not!

12. Interesting that they lose all the polls that are not easily
cheatable, but they win one with an easily fraudulent design and then gloat about winning it. They would gloat about stealing an election. Dishonesty does not figure into their mentality.

It strikes me how fascist this gloating really is, at heart a will to be in power over what the people really want from government blinds them.

Woe be it to the Republican party, since this is the behavior of their base. They are probably doomed.

13. Why anyone would care about the results in an online poll
shows nothing but ignorance. Online polls are totally unscientific and are designed only for entertainment of the less than knowledgeable.
