This is an example of “let’s see how well our attempt to disseminate propaganda has worked.”

First they propagate the Democrat lie that the protests are organized by “lobbyists.” Then they take a poll to measure their success.

One way to visibly and positively PROVE this is to actually ORGANIZE and then there should (and will) be a difference when you add the ORGANIZED group to the regular citizen group...be like Croc. Dundee...That isn’t a knife (organized group) THIS is a knife (organized group).

Too late. it’s already been skewed by Moonbats.

All these online pols are useless and not worth bothering with.

If they aren’t skewed by moonbats, the question and possible replies do not properly address the issue. They are designed to reach a predetermined conclusion.

Communist Network News adherants voting for their gravy train.

These people are drunk with power and control. Their pronouncements and actions are like every other repressive, tin-horn regime in history. Label the opposition with exactly what they themselves are doing and then use the government controlled and co-opted press to spread that lies, and then use their thugs to try and enforce it and stamp out dissent.

Well, not any more in this country. The health care debate has blown the lid on it and it's time to carry it through on this issue and every other similiar issue (like Cap & Trade, FOCA, etc.) that these wanna-be tyrants propose.

President Barack Hussein Obama said on AUgust 7, 2009, that he expected the people who caused the financial and health care mess to be quiet, stand out of the way, and let it be fixed. Well, Mr. President, if you do not want the people who created this mess standing in the way of fixing it. Okay, then you, Mr. Obama...and Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, Frank, et all had best step out of the way yourselves because you not only helped engineer the problems that ensured the fiasco...you are now intent on making it immeasurably worse in your drive towards abject marxism.

In order to hide this, and in an effort to push their monstrosity Health Care, the liberal-left and Obama seem intent on turning the frustration and angst of the American people over his policies into something more akin to Iran over this issue, with their own Basij thugs sent out to silence us, and Obama supporters called on by the Whitehouse to report any dissent.

Despite all this, the American people are downloading the Dem Health Care Plan HERE and elsewhere and educating themselves.

They are also reading the cited quotes of the main architect of the plan and Chief Advisor to Obama on Health Care HERE and elsewhere, and seeing the context of the plan from the designer of it.

So, when Sarah Palin callis it evil, they know for themselves that she speaks the truth.

So they continue to take their feelings...and their own documentation...to their reps and getting in their faces about it.

So, for every honest vote in favor of ordinary citizens, there is one person at CNN hitting the refresh button and voting for the lobbying angle, or, the same percentage of stupidity ie. those voting for Obama for king is now carrying over into the poll vote.

The other side is being orchestrated by lobbyists like the SEIU and other unions. The question is a poor one.

Precisely.

Best to leave those polls alone and let the moonbats skew the result to make them THINK they are successful. A poll in which only leftwing moonbats participate tells them nothing at all.

The count doesn’t change.
CNN has long prevented repetitive polling.

This meme really irritates me: “They’re being orchestrated! Their opinion doesn’t count!” Excuse me, SRM, but you ought to know about being orchestrated. If I allow myself to be a part of an organized movement, does that mean I deserve to be discounted and insulted? The American Revolution was orchestrated.

It's a worthless poll. I just voted 20 minutes after FrdmLvr and the count remains at Total Votes: 85647.

CNN's got the results they wanted.
