As for those polls people ask us to FReep, well these are being manipulated to Obama’s advantage.
I'm not sure I understand this. I know lib sites have an equivalent to Freeping polls, but do you mean something else?

I'll be honest, what I know about computers and the Internet could be written on the back of a match book and still have room for the Constitution.

However, I do have close sources that tell me this is possible.

I am still trying to figure out how that porn site ...err thats another matter.

Just as I said there are ways to manipulate polls.

The other day on CNN they ran a poll on (I forget now but I think it was on Palin)and with in a couple of minutes that the poll was up the anti Palin votes were something like 29,000 or so No to 1,700 Yes.

I don't doubt for one minute that these polls can be manipulated by real smart but common sense dumb, radical muck diving godless liberal nerds.

Just my lowly opinion constantly metamorphosing out here in the desert.

I know less about computers and the internet than you do, I'm sure. I just didn't see how Freepers participating in online polling could hurt--only help. We can't just cede the internet to leftists. Every little battle counts in the larger war.

I'm certain online polls can be manipulated, and that they have been in the past. Heck, if Gallup and other polls can be manipulated, and I believe they can be, online polls can be too.
