[knowbody0]

1. AOL always swings puikey

[babylonsister]

2. Definitely freeped, needs help, and there are 5? more questions

after the initial question. Go, DUers!

[countingbluecars]

3. Done n/t

[hopeisaplace]

4. this poll was probably tampered with,

surprise surprise...

[DemforNagin]

9. Ummmm....

Isn't this very post a form of tampering?

Not that I care, I've just got this thing with hypocrisy. *shrug*

Done, and done, by the way....

[KaptBunnyPants]

15. Yeah, that's why online polls are stupid.

But if they organize online campaigns to infuence polls and we don't, the media will report on lopsided Republican favored online polls like they mean something.

[hopeisaplace]

24. I get that, thought of interpretation of my post after I hit "post"

by tampering with I mean:

Where it said, Republican numbers and where it said Democratic Numbers...it looked
as though they were flipped/reversed. Tampered as in election tampering stuff, is
what I meant...sorry I should have elaborated. I've got this thing with hypocrisy
too.

[mirandapriestly]

27. Like the cnn poll a few weeks ago

where we were hitting yes , but the numbers never changed. I think those polls are fixed (and not by DUers)

[hopeisaplace]

30. Yes, it's frustrating when we can't even believe in

a spammed online poll anymore...that we feel they are
tampered with too...oh my gawd, we are down the rabbit hole
aren't we! :crazy:

[DemforNagin]

49. Oh yeah

I know that online polls are completely useless, they're even more 'fixed' than election exit polls. Couplea years ago, I watched the exit poll area here and know for a fact that a lot of repubs were "fixing" them by giving wrong info. They laughed about it as they walked away.

It's just sad that you seemingly can't trust any information anymore that you don't create yourself.

[SammyWinstonJack]

5. It's AoHell, what would anyone with brains expect? Even when the

actually results show otherwise, the brainwashed rank and file repubs, won't admit that the Democratic Party is the best way to go, in any direction. Morans!

[Pepper32]

6. Done!

[Liberal In Texas]

7. Done.

But with nearly 200K votes, it'll take a lot of DU love.

I don't think this poll is so much about being freeped as it is about our failure to frame the issues.

We need the language that they adopted, but more so and with a message that will click with "Joe Six Pack".

Clinton's "It's the economy, stupid," is a good example of doing it right.

[babylonsister]

18. Or the failure of the writer to frame the issues.

But I agree; a succinct, individual message that resonates would be nice.

[Purveyor]

8. Did my part... n/t

[Kailassa]

10. K, R & V from Australia. n/t

[goclark]

11. Kick for the night crew please~

[pepperbear]

12. self kick just 'cause it's a just cause. n/t

[RagAss]

13. This is freeped big time...pay no mind to it.....

[spindrifter]

14. done

[bdamomma]

16. done

and if there are that many people who think repigs will do better, something is definitely wrong with those people.

[leesa]

17. AOL is so far in lala land Republicans are gonna take house and senate

[OhioBlue]

[Betty]

[me b zola]

21. done

[yorkiemommie1]

22. done

freeped is right!

[katinmn]

23. Done.

[Generic Brad]

25. I wouldn't get too worked up about this

All this poll indicates to me is that more Republicans use AOL than Democrats.

[Greybnk48]

26. done n/t

[The Revolution]

28. Done. nt.

[NoodleyAppendage]

29. AOL heavy with Repukes, mouth breathers, & general Morans.

If you're too lazy to figure out how to connect yourself to a simple ISP, then you are also likely to be too lazy to read books, concern yourself with science and facts, think independently, or have a healthy suspicion of authority.

[progressoid]

44. Ture - all of the people I know that use AOL are Rupukes!!!

[Nite Owl]

31. Definitely freeped

and they only got it close too! The question on who was better on the economy was the giveaway, the repukes are far down on that one in other polls.

[farmboxer]

32. I voted earlier, but AOL has always been Republican!

I do not trust their polls.

[Canuckistanian]

33. I KNOW it's been freeped

"Who has the better ideas on ending the war in Iraq?" Bzzzzt! Trick question!

The Republicans have NO IDEAS on even getting out in the first place.

[ComerPerro]

39. the Repukes themselves have stated that they don't even plan on leaving

ever.

So how could that be called a plan?

[Canuckistanian]

41. Exactly

When you fail to plan, you plan to fail, as they say.

[PatrioticLeftie]

34. Heavily freeped

But it's only an online poll. And an AOL one to boot.

[kaygore]

35. Done

[Eric J in MN]

36. Done. NT

NT

[Homer Wells]

37. Done!

[ComerPerro]

38. if the Repubs have such good ideas, why don't they

actually legislate them?

[donheld]

40. Done

I guess we get the kind of government we deserve. :grr:

[leftofthedial]

42. still freeped

[raysr]

43. What can you expect from

those who use aol.

[fooj]

45. 72% Don't think that the US involvement in ME helps...

Yet, all of the poll questions are totally FREEPED! Not too obvious...

[NoSheep]

46. Done.

[BrightKnight]

47. AOL polls are often freeped - n/t

[Duppers]

48. AOL has fixed this poll

the numbers aren't moving.

Thanks for trying, pepperbear.
