MSNBC is claiming we are a special interest group
Editor's Note: This week, the online version of the Newsweek poll received an unusually high rate of response, with the clear majority of participants casting uniform votes. For these reasons, we believe the poll is being intentionally manipulated. In addition, we received an e-mail alert suggesting that the campaign is being coordinated by at least one special-interest group.
The 'special interest group' is a link back to THIS THREAD.

Since I have this bumper sticker on my van, does this mean that I am a "Special Interest"?

Excuse me?? Just how objective are on-line polls anyway? Perhaps conservatives aren't welcome to vote? Or maybe only a few conservatives should vote in their poll? Would it be OK with them if their liberal readers contacted each other about the poll? One wonders....
To: finnman69
Coordinated? Pointing out the existence of a poll is "coordination"?
That MSNBC feels compelled to put a disclaimer on its poll results is evidence enough that winning such polls is worthwhile.

To MSNBC, concern for the maintaining the integrity of the republic is a "special interest."

MSNBC knew something was up because the number of hits on their poll in one day exceeded their cable television audience for an entire year. BWahhahhhahahahahaah.. you mean their share went from a 0.1 to a 0.15 for the day. LOL

We're specially interested in saving the country from "The Groups", that's true. I thought you had to payoff public officials to be a true special interest group. I would call us more of a Pressure Group. Big difference.

Yes! You are indeed an eeeeevil special interest and are owned by Halliburton, the Pentagon, Nextel, Nabisco, the Trilateral Commission, and Myron A. Fleener of Snellville, Ohio.
