8. I already voted

It's gone up one point in Dean's favor since I last checked ~ but what did they do with yesterday's poll, which overwhelmingly supported Dean? Why a new poll? Did they not get the results they wanted?

[patrice]

13. Dean is helping me to be GLAD that I'm a Democrat!

Strength in Something is always more than NOTHING! I am proud for our Party, for a change!

I am PROUD to stand up for Education and Health Care for ALL of our Children. It is good to talk about some things that some people would prefer that We didn't. Pardon me if I make a few mistakes. I won't lie to you. But do not forget that I will speak the truth to those who need the information, especially in a CULTURE OF LIES.

Power to the People!

16. That CNN Poll is getting Real FREEPED = They're AFRAID of DEAN.

Very Interesting.

On Edit : Make that Freeped and Doboson/Haggard-EvangelCartel-dittoed.

Ah, the Internet Speaks in MANY Voices. That's why there are those AFRAID of it too. Only weaklings are so afraid of everything.

[wndycty]

20. Are all "hurting" votes from FREEPERS?

Get a grip.

[patrice]

26. I didn't say that at all. You assume I did. Who are you?

At least I'll ask before I tell you what you think.

29. P.S. The term "Skew" is a statistical description that is based

upon data that distributes itself along an empirical spectrum of quantifiably defined characteristics within a process of self-correcting peer review. In other words "All" are never the same in what is classically referred to as logical potivism, and commonly known as Science or research.

. . .I's be a good negro and STFU!

[AngryWhiteLiberal]

65. Whatever. Racism apparently runs both ways...

Did it even occur to you that I may be African-American and my screen name is meant as a joke? Even bother to see who's represented as my avatar?

Plus, my response HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH RACISM OR WHITE OPPRESSION. We are BROTHERS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST REPUKES and should not be in-fighting over petty bullshit. Get with the program...

69. When I'm told to STFU and now get with the program. . .

. . .I will respond how I see fit.

22. dupe n/t

[chancew]

23. Republican Votes

I am new to the board but I have visited many times so my question is how many Republicans voted in this poll?

[SF Bay Area Dem]

24. Done! It needs help though!

Get over there!

[0007]

25. Done

[acmavm]

27. Apparently a lot of people like seeing the democrats not have any

voice in the issues. They prefer the quiet sell-out corporate panderer McAuliff to Dr. Dean, the first dem that's been able to get any media coverage in years? The media may frame it as if Dean is a nut, but when all is said and done, we hear his message through all the trash talk.

11:32 a.m. CST:

Is Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean helping or hurting his party?

Helping 41% 10087 votes

Hurting 59% 14692 votes
Total: 24779 votes

[Fridays Child]

30. Kick again

[merh]

31. Done & kick

It still needs help folks!

:kick:

[stickdog]

32. If Dean were really hurting Dems, freepers would be voting "helping."

And the MSM wouldn't be doing everything in their power to undermine Dean.

The fact is that Dean is not a big enough sell out for TPTB. He's not afraid to say the emperors are naked, so corporate media and the Demopublican Party are doing everything in their power to discredit and marginalize him.

[ruggerson]

[frankly_fedup2]

51. Hey can they have a poll like that. You know the Republicans are

the "main" ones voting hurt. Did they say "Only vote if your a Democrat? Yeah right.

Where is the "Do you think Dick Cheney is helping or hurting the Republican party making mean-spirited comments regarding Howard Dean?

[progressoid]

52. Ahem...

This QuickVote is not scientific and reflects the opinions of only those Internet users who have chosen to participate. The results cannot be assumed to represent the opinions of Internet users in general, nor the public as a whole. The QuickVote sponsor is not responsible for content, functionality or the opinions expressed therein.

I only watch CNN maybe 10 minutes a month so I wouldn't know, but do they do anything with these? Or are they just important to the denizens of the internet?

[DeaconBlues]

53. unless a particular internet poll is tied to a specific program

(like Lou Dobb's show) they don't usually mention these polls. And when they do, they make sure to mention they are self-selecting and therefor are unscientific. They are basically for the entertainment of internet browsers, although I think that many naive people get fooled by them

[progressoid]

56. So, if this is just a pissing match with a bunch of creepy freeps,

I couldn't care less.

[DeaconBlues]

58. I think the "pissing match" element is a large part of it

but you'd be suprised how many people out there look at one of these polls and say to themselves "Wow, Dean is down in this poll, so he must be really hurting the party." Its basically a contest to pursuade the gullible. Since so many Americans fit into that category, I usually take a few seconds to respond to these types of polls.

[Shredr]

54. Done. We're still under... n/t

[dogday]

55. Voted

[SmokingJacket]

59. These polls are SO ANNOYING!

If we assume half democrats and half republicans answer, you can assume ALL republicans will vote against Dean, AND a (probably small) portion of dems will too. So there's NO WAY Dean can get a majority here, even if the majority of Dems support him!

Stupid fucking polls!

:grr:

[Carolab]

Talk about making me want to vomit.

Cheney Criticizes Dean Over Remarks

http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/news/article.adp?id=20050612133709990007&ncid=NWS00010000000001

Does Howard Dean help or hurt Democrats?
Hurts 62%
Helps 38%

Who do you like more?
Cheney 54%
Dean 46%
Total Votes: 49,252

What kind of mutant do you have to be to be able to vote that you LIKE Cheney, much less like him MORE than someone, especially Howard Dean??? ARRRGGGGGGGH.

I can somewhat understand people who say they like Bush, because he's a *charming* psychopath. But Cheney is just plain revolting.
