[hexola]

Jeezz!

Found this at FreeRepublic...

I was suspicious at first - but afa owns the domain...

Perhaps I missed the DU post...

For those of you that missed it - the above referenced poll was found at FreeRepublic...when I tried to post the link here...I found the polling site was blocking DU referers. Within 15 minutes or so of this post - the block was lifted.

1. I swear - I can only get to it from FR!

3. you're right

referrals from du are blocked... but nonetheless, somebody's kicking bush/nader's ass

8. Results update

http://www.onlinepolls.net/pollv1/Results.aspx?pid=10

four more votes for Bush, 28 more for Kerry, zilch more for St. Ralf

14. I love it - Bush is taking votes...from Nader...

thats one interpretation...!

[hexola]

4. That link wont work - you have to go to FR!

That flies in the face of the typical FR paranoia...funny - read all the posts about how this poll was "probably DU'ed..."

...so this poll is not DU'ed?

2. This is awesome

kick!

11. No, it's HILARIOUS!

Somewhere, I have an excerpt of a Freeper post that mentions "Perl-scripts" that would allow as many multiple votes as they felt comfortable with. Now THAT is "Freeping". All that's done here at DU is to "get the word out and get out the vote". They can dish it out, BUT THEY SURE CAN'T TAKE IT! (Boo Hoo!!).

BTW: That gratuitious and sneering reference in the other posting to "the bush/nader" vote, only further alienates a good portion of the left-progressive voters here. I'm one of them.

5. They just want names so they can spam you

:)

6. A freeper-ish reponse but...

the "whois" says this "onlinepolls.net" is owned by afa...a somewhat reputable organization - I doubt they would stoop to that...

[SoCalDem]

AFA is/was a "family values" place ..

This is a briarpatch poll..:)

[whistle]

7. I think the name database...

...is the real motive behind this freeper site. Another Karl Rove brain fart!:evilgrin:

9. You can enter bogus info

and still vote :)

10. hmm

it works fine if you put the right url in the link. it's not "DU proof" by any means.

i've removed the link, because there's no need to go to it through DU. go through FR.

[hexola]

12. BUSTED!? Why can DU get in now...?

Thats odd - were they deliberately trying to "recover" by blocking DU and posting the poll at FR?

[hexola]

13. They just changed it...
