“Ordinary citizens” is losing. Everybody participate. See if they report it.

[mark3681]

Ordinary still losing 55 to 45.

By the way, are there any conservative lobbyists?

[silverleaf]

“Denial” is not just a river in Egypt
But let the libs find that out the way they learn everything else

[rightwingintelligentsia]

This is an example of “let’s see how well our attempt to disseminate propaganda has worked.”

First they propagate the Democrat lie that the protests are organized by “lobbyists.” Then they take a poll to measure their success.

Every time I voted, I simply refreshed the page and voted again...CNN...surprise,surprise!

One way to visibly and positively PROVE this is to actually ORGANIZE and then there should (and will) be a difference when you add the ORGANIZED group to the regular citizen group...be like Croc. Dundee...That isn’t a knife (organized group) THIS is a knife (organized group).

Too late. it’s already been skewed by Moonbats.

All these online pols are useless and not worth bothering with.

If they aren’t skewed by moonbats, the question and possible replies do not properly address the issue. They are designed to reach a predetermined conclusion.

[screaminsunshine]

Set-up. They are trying to make up for the report card fiasco and ACORN and SEIU are trying to out-freep us.

[Jeff Head]

Communist Network News adherants voting for their gravy train.

These people are drunk with power and control. Their pronouncements and actions are like every other repressive, tin-horn regime in history. Label the opposition with exactly what they themselves are doing and then use the government controlled and co-opted press to spread that lies, and then use their thugs to try and enforce it and stamp out dissent.

Well, not any more in this country. The health care debate has blown the lid on it and it's time to carry it through on this issue and every other similiar issue (like Cap & Trade, FOCA, etc.) that these wanna-be tyrants propose.

President Barack Hussein Obama said on AUgust 7, 2009, that he expected the people who caused the financial and health care mess to be quiet, stand out of the way, and let it be fixed. Well, Mr. President, if you do not want the people who created this mess standing in the way of fixing it. Okay, then you, Mr. Obama...and Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, Frank, et all had best step out of the way yourselves because you not only helped engineer the problems that ensured the fiasco...you are now intent on making it immeasurably worse in your drive towards abject marxism.

In order to hide this, and in an effort to push their monstrosity Health Care, the liberal-left and Obama seem intent on turning the frustration and angst of the American people over his policies into something more akin to Iran over this issue, with their own Basij thugs sent out to silence us, and Obama supporters called on by the Whitehouse to report any dissent.

Despite all this, the American people are downloading the Dem Health Care Plan HERE and elsewhere and educating themselves.

They are also reading the cited quotes of the main architect of the plan and Chief Advisor to Obama on Health Care HERE and elsewhere, and seeing the context of the plan from the designer of it.

So, when Sarah Palin callis it evil, they know for themselves that she speaks the truth.

So they continue to take their feelings...and their own documentation...to their reps and getting in their faces about it.

[wita]

So, for every honest vote in favor of ordinary citizens, there is one person at CNN hitting the refresh button and voting for the lobbying angle, or, the same percentage of stupidity ie. those voting for Obama for king is now carrying over into the poll vote.

[kabar]

The other side is being orchestrated by lobbyists like the SEIU and other unions. The question is a poor one.

[Nathan Zachary]

"First they propagate the Democrat lie that the protests are organized by “lobbyists.” Then they take a poll to measure their success.

Precisely.

Best to leave those polls alone and let the moonbats skew the result to make them THINK they are successful. A poll in which only leftwing moonbats participate tells them nothing at all.

[ryan71]

Uh, the friggin lobbyists are on Slobama’s side!

[SJSAMPLE]

The count doesn’t change.
CNN has long prevented repetitive polling.

[Genoa]

This meme really irritates me: “They’re being orchestrated! Their opinion doesn’t count!” Excuse me, SRM, but you ought to know about being orchestrated. If I allow myself to be a part of an organized movement, does that mean I deserve to be discounted and insulted? The American Revolution was orchestrated.

[South40]

It's a worthless poll. I just voted 20 minutes after FrdmLvr and the count remains at Total Votes: 85647.

CNN's got the results they wanted.

[LonePalm]

The numbers haven't changed in the 20 minutes since your post.

I just voted and it is obviously not registering my vote.

Still 55% to 45% 86,647 votes...need some help Freepers!

[MNDude]

I just voted too, and it still remains at 85647 votes

[Tatze]

Being orchestrated by lobbyists 55% 46930
Ordinary citizens expressing their opinions 45% 38717
Total Votes: 85647

Exact same totals as right now, AFTER I voted. Poll is rigged.

[Nathan Zachary]

"The count doesn’t change. CNN has long prevented repetitive polling."

impossible. Just use the anonymous internet (torproject) they can't tell who you are or how many times you are voting, because no traceable information is sent.

[AuntB]

“By the way, are there any conservative lobbyists?”

That’s a really good question....I can’t think of one. The GOP has plenty of lobbyists, the premier being Grover Norquist, who pushes for amnesty and any cheap labor trade agreement that comes out of congress.

The results are moving a bit, but that 55-45 doesn't seem to move does it?

[Nathan Zachary]

"Exact same totals as right now, AFTER I voted. Poll is rigged." They are probably using a delay. The results are only updated ever 10-15 mins or so.

[DoughtyOne]

Town-hall protests over health care are:

55% 48111 Being orchestrated by lobbyists
45% 39675 Ordinary citizens expressing their opinions
....... 87786 Total Votes

This is not a scientific poll

[South40]

Typical democRAT stragedy; count and recount until you get the results you want then stop counting.

[Nathan Zachary]

"The results are moving a bit, but that 55-45 doesn't seem to move does it? "

well of course it won't. it takes about 300 or so votes to move it 1%

Oops. Posted to the wrong thread. This is the CNN poll.

Because the dem side is made up of the unemployed young who are being paid to show up. And our side is made of of citizens who care - the "dem rent a crowd people" are more "attractive" to CNN reporters - reporters so stupid they can be tricked into thinking it's still 1968... CNN's reporters are fools or part of the DNC scam...

Here’s how dems recruit their “rent a crowd” people to fill fake town hall meetings.

I’d be happy everyone would send it out to anyone they know...

Reply to: see below

President Obama’s top priority for Congress is health care reform. Insurance companies are spending over a million dollars a day lobbying against the reform, while feeding myths and fears to America. It will take the same grassroots energy that got Obama elected to see the change we voted for. Our work isn’t over.

Build support for health care reform with U.S. PIRG. Mobilize activists to cut the cost of health care, expand coverage, and stop sick from getting dropped by insurance companies. Go out in your community and make change happen. Make friends and money along the way.

Earn $400-$600 per week. To apply for a job, call Chris at 612-331-1434.

“Ordinary still losing 55 to 45.”

How encouraging! If 45% of CNN viewers (well mostly) think the protesters are legit, that means about 70% of the general public does. ;-)

Voted several times using different browsers, but the actual numbers will not change ( will not show my vote). 

 

[ssaftler]

well of course it won't. it takes about 300 or so votes to move it 1%

Look at the results now. The tally went from 78K to 150K, and the percentage HAS NEVER WAIVERED from 55-45. Sounds like CNN has a bot that is controlling the "mob" vote to make sure it stays where they want it to be!
