Vote at Senator Frist's website!!!
Senator Harry Reid just pointed out that most of the votes on Frist's website indicate that the senate shouldn't be wasting its time on Priscilla Owen & Co. Keep it that way.

18. an of course, they cheat again, as usual
quotes:

I think you can vote more than once. I went back after a couple minutes and noticed this.


Bob J, I went in there and freeped, but then it wouldn't let me leave via my back button. So I had to vote two more times, just to get back to FR. Honest. Really.


Tools...
Internet Options...
Delete Cookies...
Okay...
Vote...



Freepers- if you can't win fairly, then you are LOSERS! Wake up. Cheating is un-American

30. Wow I didn't know freepers were so obvious...
I thought their statements would be a little more discrete than "this poll needs freeping immediately".

3. What a chickenshit trick question! The Constitution says NOTHING
about an "up or down vote."

12. huh?
I just went there and here's the poll, copied-and-pasted:

Should the Senate from exercise its Constitutional duty to provide the President's judicial nominees with an up or down vote?


What does that even mean? I've got to be missing something....

They expect us to vote "No" without reading the poll. Ha! They think we're as stupid as Republicans.

23. HE CHANGED THE QUESTION!
http://www.senate.gov/~frist/

"Should the Senate minority block the body's Constitutional duty to provide the President's judicial nominees with an up or down vote?"

VOTE YES!

(Someone needs to monitor this poll. This is like the second time the question has been changed.)

32. "Technical difficulties"
Here's what I got just now:

"Sorry, the http://frist.senate.gov web page you have requested is experiencing technical difficulties. The Webmaster has been alerted.

You will be automatically redirected to the http://frist.senate.gov Home page after 10 seconds.

If this problem persists, please contact the Office of the Secretary Webmaster at webmaster@sec.senate.gov."

I was NOT automatically redirected.

Guess he took his ball and went home.

35. Again?!
I voted twice last night since it was changed then got sleepy and went to bed. Typical, they think if they change the way they say something and keep putting it out there we will just give up and let them have it. Stupid.

36. The story of internet poll rigging by Frist is news!
Edited on Thu Nov-13-03 08:07 AM by gulliver
Republicans were losing a poll on their own web site so they changed the poll question!!! It is now rigged so they can't lose. How typical of Republicans.

I hope Reid notices this internet poll rigging and alerts the media. The pubbies rigged a political poll paid for with government funds while the whole world watched.

Now that that SOB Frist has found a question we DUers can't answer, he's not changing the question every three hours.
