PBS poll needs some DU love

[cosmicsheep]

Just got this from a listserve -

Dear Friends,

PBS has posted an online poll asking if Sarah Palin is qualified to be VP, and her adoring fans out there are all logging on and voting her up. Let's turn this around. Log on and vote NO!

Best wishes,

Tom

7. Didn't we do this same poll a couple of days ago?

Or was I imagining it?

I voted... apparently you can vote more than once.

14. Yea we did (thinking same)..This poll might be closed since it never moves anymore.Might be wrong?

8. Oh gee, you can vote more than once. hint hint nt

9. That poll is bogus.

I've voted "no" on it three times myself. I think there are some freepers sitting around in their moms' basements just hitting the "yes" circle over and over.

10. We need to blast ALL of these polls....independents & dumbasses alike

often base their voting on these!

(It's much easier than actually researching a candidate) :eyes:

[Hope And Change]

11. Done!K & R!

[avaistheone1]

12. Done

and kicking it.

[graywarrior]

13. This poll has been floating around for days now and I keep voting but it never changes.

[johnaries]

15. Also, the percentages don't add up.

51%, 46%, and 1%. Where's the other 2%? That's too much to be a rounding error.

Bogus poll.

17. This PBS Poll Smells Funny

Been watching this poll for days now aswell. It hasnt changed at all and still only 1% unsure? lol

[flamingdem]

16. done.

[Orsino]

18. Stupid question.

"Qualified" doesn't mean a candidate ought to get votes. As someone pointed out in another thread, that they feel the need to ask the question is a condemnation in itself, and that the alleged votes are split tells us all we need to know about Palin.

19. done

20. God, not this poll again!

Yannnow, I know people keep posting this with the best intentions, but really, People, get a grip:

First of all, the poll lets you vote multiple times, so it's really not indicative of anything.
Secondly, any normal viewer of NOW will know immediately it's being targeted by conservative wackos.
And three, below is a quick list just from GD, and I understand from one of these posts it's also been posted at least once in GDP. There's a note from the admin to check for dupes before you can post in GD, that's DU Etiquette 101. Doesn't anybody bother to check for duplicates any more before they post?
