DU this Freep'ed Poll!!!

[OneAngryDemocrat]

First, the Sauk Valley Newspapers in North Western Illinois scrapped the recent poll which resoundingly showed that Americans wanted Gitmo Bay detainees to be brought to justice!

Now the new poll (with some minute language changes) appears to have been Freep'ed.

For several years, now, the Thomson Correctional Center, a super maximum security facility in North Western Illinois, has been sitting vacant.

The state of Illinois, additionally, has a budget deficit in the tens of billions of dollars - which is why the prison has been sitting empty.

The location where this prison is located has an unemployment rate of over 13%.

Bringing the Gitmo Bay detainees to Illinois would finally afford these prisoners their day in court, as well as bring needed jobs, and revenue to the area.

Support justice...

Support local jobs...

Support our President...

The new poll looks like this:

Reader poll

8. How strange

I can still access the same poll from a few days ago that shows 56% voting "yes" with 322 participants.

Maybe they just froze that at the end of the day and started a new one up with the previous votes counted in?

[OneAngryDemocrat]

9. No...

No. What they did was scrap the poll when they didn't like the poll results, and came back with another poll, with a slight language change. Both polls started with 0 results.
