The million-dollar question among Dancing with the Stars fans these days? How did Bristol Palin make it into the season 11 finals?
"She deserves it," DWTS executive producer Conrad Green tells PEOPLE. "And a significant portion of our viewing audience believes that, too."

Speculation has arisen about whether members of the Tea Party, many of whom strongly support Bristol's mom Sarah Palin, are involved in an organized effort to promote Bristol.
On one conservative Web site, Freerepublic.com, some of the site's 300,000 registered users have recently used discussion threads to encourage votes for Bristol. One asked users to "make liberal heads explode and vote for Bristol" on Nov. 8 to advance her to the semi-finals.
But Jim Robinson, who founded the site, says there is no larger plan at work. "An organized conspiracy? I sincerely doubt that," he told PEOPLE. "The Tea Party's not that organized!"
And Green agrees that there's no stuffing of the virtual ballot-box, saying that the entire process – text votes, call-in votes and email votes – "is all overseen by the Broadcast Standards team, independent of us and the network to make sure that everything is absolutely done scrupulously."

Jim needs to admit the truth -- that those running the website have that ability to hypnotize members and turn them into mind-numb robots, ones that have voted for Bristol in large numbers.
First, Free Republic members will pick the Dancing with the Stars winner and, then, it's members will pick leaders to run the country and, after that, the world!

How many people here would really take time to vote on a celebrity dance contest?
I have television, but have never watched a minute of "Dancing with the Stars". I am, however, enjoying the heck out of the liberal angst over so meaningless a show...and the fact that Jim Robinson and FR were recognized in People!

Oh good grief... you could easily say that some of Facebook's 1,000,000,000 members encouraged people to vote for Brandi to make Tea Party heads explode. This is how these shows work, people get together and vote for who they like. They may like people for different reasons. Some people may get together and vote for Jennifer Gray because she has a nice butt- it doesn't make it a conspiracy.
