Now, I suppose there could be a contingent of loyal posters from India, but I strongly suspect this represents the hot houses we've all heard about of serial posters and disruptors who come out of the wood work, especially during primary season, to push a given candidate and then switch to "I'm not going to vote" mode come general.
Since there are apparently thousands of real Freepers from India, I encourage you to post here to dissuade me of what I feel certain is correct.
One thing that I noticed in the 2012 campaign was the presence of posters that I suspect were perhaps paid by one of the campaigns. I don’t have the details handy (maybe I’ll collect it later), but one prolific poster appeared briefly before the campaign started, always posted negative comments about Santorum, posted negative comments about Gingrich when he briefly rose into contention, but never posted anything positive or negative about Romney. He disappeared never to be heard from again after Santorum dropped out of the race. I still think that he was a paid Romney plant.
Did you take that line from “A Civil Action”: by any chance? It’s when the John Travolta character complains to the judge about the judge’s requirements for conviction - kinda funny.
“My VPN server is in Mumbai India.”
Ok, so you’re 1.
Lol.
I love the ones that can comment 3-4 times in about 15-20 seconds and claim they type fast.
The Clinton cockroaches are crawling through here.
Indians (IT workers) come in two varieties, the really smart and cleaver ones, and the one that are just good at memorizing things. Sadly most of the IT Indian workers about 95-98% are the memorizes, the rest tend to move upward quite quickly in the structure as they stand above the rest.
Sounds like a day at my house. The family tires of me over Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners when I refer to (insert here) as those freakin commie bastards.
Memsahib! I am NOT a robotik posterwallah. Only because my very favorite super candy date is Sir Donal Troomp!
On policy and culture I suspect NGOs. I can’t prove it, but that is who I suspect.
First they take our Convenience stores, Motels and Taxis and NOW THIS?!?!?!?!?..............
Does Pluto count?
I don’t think I’ve run across an Indian freeper who lives in India. I do know regular freepers who live in other countries, though.
But then I’ve always thought freepers should be forced to list their state or country in which they live. Just me, of course.

You are always a mensch to me, even if you are a dot head.
Hello, fellow Freepers.
I am Peggy.
It can’t be that many people who do that.
lol
