I HEARD on CNN this AM that they scrapped one poll because..

[Clinton Crusader]

it was too tilted towards JK. The guy on Weekend American Morning said they HAD a poll up but 'those Kerry people were up early and made it TOO in favor of Kerry, so we started over".

WTF????
:kick:

[graywarrior]

1. I need an anger management class

[Iris]

26. Dude! I saw you in the other thread. Don't worry.

At least you are aware of your anger!

Bush just thinks he's "being a good leader"!

[Cha]

27. I'm with ya, Dude!

My son went to one of those on Kauai and he swears by them.:D

[graywarrior]

28. I signed up for one which starts Monday

I swear, I could do some damage right now to a bumper sticker or worse.

[Cha]

30. DU's good for me...I get all my

cussing out! :bounce: And there's a lot I don't listen to cause it's too stupid and just makes me angier!

[graywarrior]

31. Yeah, DU is a good sounding board

But sometimes when I'm out on the road and some redneck gives me shit because I have a Kerry sticker on my car, I feel a rant coming which seems rational to me, but to anybody else, I appear to have gone over the edge and require a padded cell.

This entire 4 year torture chamber has just clued me in to my anger. I need to do something about it. It's not rational to want to bitch slap the other half of the country on a daily basis.

[Cha]

35. If anyone gave me shit about my

Kerry/Edwards sticker.. they would see four years of fury unleashed right at their unsuspecting jugular :grr:

[graywarrior]

36. It happens daily in Florida

It's getting to be routine, like a rectal exam.

[Cha]

38. I'd be in a lot of trouble if I lived there..probably

from jebby himself..my dear ol' dad lives in Gainsville, though, and that's a pretty Liberal place ..so there are little pockets of Democracy all over!

Cheers and good luck with Florida! :D

[high density]

2. LOL

Now it's freeped for Bush. I guess that means it's A-OK?!

[Junkdrawer]

5. And clearly *someone* is using sophisticated software...

Who could that be ...:think:

[TexasSissy]

29. I voted early this a.m. Not too early, but early. Had to get up early to

mow the lawn, so I surfed before going out, while drinking my coffee. So....was I wrong to do that? I would've done that, no matter what. ????

But they are right in one sense, you know. The skewed polls don't jive with what phone call polls and focus groups were saying. So clearly the Dems are just organized with the Internet thing. But I'm okay with that. If we weren't this good at it, the Repubs would be skewing the polls.

[Clinton Crusader]

6. that's right! THAT'S what they wanted....

Thsi was at around 6am, I almost spit coffee across the room. And he was wagging his finger like 'naughty, naughty"..
:kick:

[BayouBengal07]

3. The fuck?

"The pol didn't go our way, so we redid it"? Can they say that with a straight face?!

[SammyWinstonJack]

39. Are they planning on pulling that crap on Nov. 2nd?

The chimp messed up his debate with Kerry so he gets a one hour do over on TeeVee. CNN doesn't like the results of their poll, so they get a do over. Kerry wins the election and chimpco doesn't like the results...............A Do Over?

[wildeyed]

4. So they keep posting them until they get the right answer?

I always thought that online polls were retarded, the height of infotainment bs, but this is reaching new dumbness. We change the non-scientific poll 'cause we don't like the result. But if it was non-scientific in the first place, so who cares?????

[Protagoras]

7. That's interesting because my OLD cookie

still keeps me from voting in the new poll. Curious that.

[ClintonTyree]

14. Delete your cookies...............

vote again, for the first time.

[Protagoras]

15. I thought about it but I really hate even the appearance

of doing a freepish thing. One wonders though. If things swing back to Kerry on CNN again, will they go for a 3rd poll?

[iamjoy]

17. Clear Your Cache

Assuming CNN.com is foolish enough to have the cookie on your computer, not stored on their site, you can dump your folders of Cookies and Temporary Internet files and potentially vote over and over.

[Bossy Monkey]

20. It let me vote in the new one, but was it Pres. Bush v. John Kerry before?

It's possible, but I think I would have noticed. Bush still ahead; I guess the freepers have dusted off their freepbots.

[LDS Jock]

21. I used a different browser and it let me

normally I wouldn't do it, but with them erasing votes I thought it was justified.

[jimshoes]

24. They cheat

therefore they suck. Anon.

[Raster]

8. Strange times indeed. "We didn't like the first poll because our guy...

...wasn't winning. So we scapped it. Let's hope the second insta-poll comes out more to our liking."

[iamjoy]

9. Yep, As Bugs Bunny Used To Say...

You gotta get up pret-ty early in the morning to outstmart this rabbit (these Democrats).

[Raster]

10. Everytime Ted Turner hears about this shit, he bitch-slaps a buffalo.

[girl gone mad]

11. Hmm.. I bet they thinkn that's how it's going to work..

in November too.

[ClintonTyree]

12. I believe we all get one vote.................

if it's at 11:00 PM on Friday or 9:00 AM on Saturday it doesn't make any difference.
The Corporate Media no longer even tries to hide their toadyish sucking up to Bush. Those fat tax breaks are at stake.

[gratuitous]

13. Wrong answer

Try again. CNN acting on orders from the highest authority.

[Owlet]

19. Reminds me of the Roman General..

..who had oxen killed until one produced the right entrail reading for his pending battle - story on NPR WE this morning. Kinda tough on the oxen. Probably more humane to sacrifice a web poll till you get the right results.

[graywarrior]

16. Makes me believe that even when Kerry wins on 11/2, he won't win

Just like Gore. De Jevu all over again.

[seabeyond]

18. so all those kerry people that voted think their vote counts

but lo and behold it doesnt. was trashed like the 2000 election adn now it is a slanted vote to bush. go figure

[Th1onein]

22. I HAD NO TROUBLE VOTING A SECOND TIME!!!!

GO FOR IT! Don't let that asshole win!

[wryter2000]

23. That does it

They did the same thing after the first */Kerry debate, didn't they?

I don't normally vote more than once in these polls...misguided chivalry, I guess. But I'm going to hit CNN every time I think of it.

Like maybe right now...

[MoonRiver]

25. They're not even trying to hide it anymore.

Whores for *, and damn proud of it! :puke:

[Ksec]

41. Lawyers? Lets sue..

[matt819]

32. I find that hard to believe, but. . .

I find it hard to believe that someone actually said that.

Nevertheless, when the pool results showed 70-30 last night after the debate, with maybe 80,000 votes, and again this morning around the same with 355,000 votes, you just gotta wonder about circumstances that bumped the voting into the high six figures with such a dramatic turnaround.

So now, not only are government officials encouraged to blow the whistle on criminal and/or incompetent policies, we now have to encourage CNN back office people to spill the beans on these polls.

Something stinks.

[Geek_Girl]

33. The Freeps were pissed last night

and they sent out emails to the networks about how Democrats were skewing the online polls. Looks like the media gets bitched slapped around by the freepers again.

[Guaranteed]

34. "PRESIDENT BUSH" vs. "JOHN KERRY"?????

Isn't that SENATOR John Kerry, MOTHERFUCKERS???

[evilqueen]

37. I just sent CBSNews an email about CNN throwing out poll results...

I doubt CBS will say or do anything about it, but it would be kewl if they decided to investigate and publicize that story.

[Ksec]

40. tampering with polls? Is that a crime?

[NightOwwl]

42. This makes me REALLY ANGRY!

Right now:
Bush 57%
Kerry 41%

I didn't go to bed until 2:00am last night and the results were: Kerry 70%
Bush 30%

[elf]

44. CNN can go to hell! I am so goddamned angry

I can barely type.

CNN needs to HEAR about this -- again and again! :grr:

Edit: Removed some strong language directed at a very deserving CNN, but no need to inflict it on others here.

[Ima]

46. And now Shrubbie is winning

well isn't that special???? Fuck CNN.

[VOX]

49. Let CNN hear your anger!!! It's easy to do, will take just a few seconds

Just let them know that you're very angry over their pulling one poll, and starting another one that reflects right-wing bias:

Just go to these pages, they have a form that you submit -- just fill in the quick info.

CNN Headline News, CNN Headline News, http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form1.html?33

CNN Headline News, Report Errors, http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form6a.html?3

Here's my note to CNN -- if you want to do variations on it and submit it, that's A-OK by me --

How dare CNN pull the initial results of their Quickvote "Who do you think won the debate?" that showed John Kerry leading George Bush, 85% to 14%! Those results can still be viewed at http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/

Secondly, how dare CNN initiate ANOTHER Quickvote, "Who won the second presidential debate?" this time referring to "President Bush" and "John Kerry" If you're going to use titles, how about "Senator John Kerry?"

And now that CNN has likely reacted in deference to right-wing activist pressure, the Quickvote tally shows Bush ahead with a commanding 57% to 41% of the vote.

Isn't it amazing what a difference a new poll makes? Is this just a small preview of what electronic voting will do come November 2?

I am very disappointed in CNN -- you either caved in to right-wing activist pressure, or you are showing your own bias. Either way, it is not a positive scenario for CNN.

[Silver Gaia]

50. I just monitored this poll for 10 minutes.

I saw an increase of 14,550 votes in that 10 minutes, broken down as 11,770 votes for Bush and 3,026 votes for Kerry in that 10 minutes. That's over 1,100 votes a MINUTE registered for Bush vs about 300 a minute for Kerry. I simply don't buy that there are THAT many Bush supporters as opposed to Kerry supporters sitting at home voting one at a time on Saturday. This poll is being deliberately manipulated.

[disneyboy]

51. They ARE tampering

Because earloer today B was at 54 while K was at 44. Now K is at 40! How did he down FOUR?

[LSK]

52. those "kerry people" HAPPEN TO BE THE US CITIZENS?!?!??!?!?

The real terrorists are the media!

[BiggJawn]

53. "And hopefully, they'll do the same thing on November 2..."

"Oh...this poll isn't going the way Karl wants it to...Karen says to keep flushing it until the numbers look better for Bush..."

That's how they'd like to do the elections, folks....

"...I want 'em all votin' fer ME!..."-G W Bush
