SPIN THOSE POLLS! SPIN THOSE POLLS! [10/13 02:50 PM]
UPI reports on the efforts to spin online polls and mass-mailed letters to the editor.
President George W. Bush and Sen. John F. Kerry will walk across the stage Wednesday night and greet each other at the beginning of the third and final presidential debate. Already, across the country, e-mail messages are arriving in newsroom inboxes declaring a winner. A new form of spam is emerging this fall, called debate-spin spam, experts told UPI's The Web. The veracity of the e-mail messages being sent as letters to the editor is coming into question, as are the timing and content of many of the messages, because a significant percentage is being generated by bots, or intelligent software agents.
Which reminds me, it's time for the Pajamahadeen to continue our jujitsu operations. We had some success recently, but I think it's time to set our sights higher.
As usual, the instant online polls of news organizations, that the DNC is steering its members to here, will be less valuable and useful if the result is so stunningly skewed that no one believes it. So a poll that shows Kerry won 99 percent to 1 percent is less useful to the DNC than one that shows Kerry won 70 percent to 30 percent....
Good idea bump!
Yes, most of those suggesting ignoring polls are newbies here, I notice.
I have a better idea, help the DUmmies reverse FReep the polls.
I won't waste my time on those polls. Hope the undecided's don't feel the need to follow the "herd" (i.e. MSM's) influence.
I could never , even in the interest of such a reverse sting, cast a vote for 'that man' , he/they will never see it....
Thanks.
Relax. I've never FReeped polls and I ain't about to start. Some people are just too dumb to realize it's all for naught.
I'm relaxed ! ;^)
I have tried Freeping , but it seems near impossible for the single vote of an honest man to show up against massive robotic spamming. Their servers should be nuked....
I think you guys have convinced me...I'm voting for Kerry in the online polls. Lets make to 102% to 0% in all the polls for Kerry.
Great idea. I saw the futility of voting on these polls the first debate. When I vote on just ONE in the second debate, I said, "Forget it!". It only makes sense not to vote so the numbers are so ridiculous, anyone with half a brain will see that the RATS have stacked these polls!
I'm with you on this one - what a great idea!
great idea.
Ether don't vote at all, or if you do vote, vote for Kerry, That will really screw up the poll. It will be a ridiculous result.
I've done that since the first debate. The Dims are stupid.
That is even a BETTER idea! lol!
Uh, Misty...Could you remove me from your ping lists. The three times daily pings are getting to be a bit much...

You could have asked nicely and got the same result. You have been removed and I apologize for the inconvenience I caused you. However, it would have been much easier to just say you wanted off the list. Have a good day.
