CNN dummy: looks like Kerry supporters are up early and skewing the poll
a--hole... so, what IF the public prefers Kerry's debate performance and how about the ASSUMPTION about how much support any one candiate will get? "Skewing" or reality? Mickey Mouse journalism.

Don't remember the a-hole's name- saw it about 30 minutes ago on CNN.

22. It was a reference to Michael Moore's Slacker Tour
If you know what his tour is about, being a slacker is actually becoming a badge of honor.

23. My comment was to the "It's hard work being an asshole" not
the slacker tour. Are you a slacker or just not paying attention?

3. it shows the strength of support, not skewing
god, they are idiots.

And when you get numbers in the hundreds of thousands, or millions as CNN did the other day, you have to assume that there is some diversity of opinion there.

They just get pissed when we don't agree with their pundidiocy.

5. Typical CNN ...
When the polls favor Bush, it's a strong show of support by the American people. When the polls favor Kerry, it's skewing.

F*ck 'em! :mad:

12. I have been wondering which debate CNN watched
The desire to give Bush a positive rating has been jaw-dropping.
I was stunned watching a little of the post-debate punditry last night, and even today.

I thought they did a decent job after the first debate. This is just sad.

Do you think they're aware that they've got to portray it as a real horse-race in order to keep viewer interest alive going forward? Is that why they're pulling this shit?

As for skewing polls, point them to www.freerepublic.com
THOSE people are poll skewers. They've lived for that shit for years. Finally the leftwing gets a little better organized to compete with the rightwing media assault, and people start crying that WE skewer polls?
Hogwash. Now they're seeing a REAL poll result because there's grassroots efforts from BOTH sides.

Period.

13. At least we don't delete our cookies
For the last 4 years all these stupid polls have been freeped and they've reported the result like they were the gospel.

Now that the Dems have decided to respond, they are being skewed?

Check your website logs assholes. You can tell that the Kerry supporters believe in One Person / One Vote. We don't support cheaters.

The fucking sheeple could be up "skewing" the polls too. I'm sure they're trying, but they aren't the MAJORITY in this country! MAYBE THAT is why Kerry is winning the polls? ASSHOLE!

20. CNN dummy:looks like Kerry supporters are up early and skewing the poll
Those who take polls or gather data skew polls. Those who answer instruments or pollsters do not skew data. The individual who made those remarks does not understand research methodology.

Come on people what is the profanity for? Can't some of you put your thoughts into lucid statemnts or are you so lacking in intelligence that profanity is your only vehicle?

Most of us are Democrats and we deal with facts and use our knowledge let the other side lower themselves to the tactics they have been practicing since the mid 90's. Just because the VP uses the F word that does not give us the "right" to do the same.

Besides a well thought out intelligent flame is always superior to calling someone a dumbass hick from Texas. :)

Honestly though lets raise the bar and use intelligence and sharply worded messages to make our points. We are right Bush doesn't deserve to lead this country.
