Lots of posts are "undocumented" and "unsubstantiated" they are opinions. In any event, the arguemnt was very easily defeated just by one simple statement: Which poll does one use to calculate AR? Done.

You know something? Words like "wild", "panic mongering", etc..." those words conjure up quite a vivid mental picture. I would like to think that freepers are not subject to such emotional states levereged on them by DU trolls.

Hell, this guy's original posts are now gone. IMHO, if we are going to do this, the entire thread ought to be zotted. Not out of fairness, mind you, but I think that leaving the original thread untouched would have at least let folks post good rebuttal to skeptic14s assertion. Now that cannot even be done.

Sorry. I am all about making liberals look stupid because they are. The way to do that is to expose them.

Years ago, before they were called trolls here, they were called disruptor.

Someone who joins today and in his first post disses bush on a thread isn't here to debate. He's here to waste our time.

Go spread your nonsense amongst your pals at DU. Thanks for making my point. If I were an admin I'd ban you simply because you are stupid and give conservatives a bad name. You obvioulsy are not one of the very smart, well educated, eminently sensible folk on Free Republic, because you make stupid assmuptions.

" If I were an admin I'd ban you simply because you are stupid and give conservatives a bad name. "

That is precisely why you are not and will never be an admin here. You see, psychotic DU lunatics like yourself are banned from becoming admins of conservative sites like FREEP. As for stupidity, why you make even Micheal Moore look smart..and that is saying a LOT!
He is generally recognized as one of the most stupid men on the entire planet, having managed to flunk out of every school and every real job he ever did, and compared to you he still looks smart. :)


"You obvioulsy are not one of the very smart, well educated, eminently sensible folk on Free Republic, because you make stupid assmuptions."

Coming from you(one of the most stupid creatures on the entire planet), I'd take that as compliment. :)

Okay. How do the rantings of any liberal disrupt anything? Most of their crap is easily refuted, and it is just as easy to refute their argument as it is to post cutsie zot jpgs in a thread. And easier to ignore it.

Of course someone pointing this out is labeled a DU troll as well; but since I know who I am and what I believe, and because I know sure as hell that this forum does not consume my entire existance, I am content with what others post here.

To all those among us who just discovered voter fraud, let me assure you that, yes it is factored into all sophisticated calculations. Anyone who has studied political science or who has worked in politics knew about it very well. Apparently, the public did not. I was thrilled when Bush called Al Gore's bluff and decided to fight in 2000. I felt as if he was bringing about his first reform by getting it out in the public eye. In fact, there will probably be less fraud this year because some states made reforms and there will be a lot more people watching at the polls to prevent it.

do those numbers factor in vote fraud???

If you get 50%, fraud doesn't matter.

It *is* a concern, though. What are you personally doing about it? Can we expect to see you volunteering in the final 72 hours for the campaign?

50-47 leaves a lot in question. Bush is polling better in California, New York and New Jersey then in 2000 which can mean a lot of votes but no electoral college votes. We need those votes in Ohio, Florida,and Pennsylvania.

Agreed. Today Cheney says it will be 52-47. Last week he said +8 in Ohio. Sources say Bush is going to PA and NJ in part to ensure that he wins the popular vote in addition to the EC. But I still remember FL was +5 the week before the election in 2000 ...

See how easy it is to get under your skin? What simple words make you do? Why is it do you s'pose that I have not been banned? That I have not been zotted? Why I am still able to post these simple words to you? Why is it you, and not me who is reduced to name calling?

Why will I be able to post here tomorrow, the next day, and the day after? Perhaps it is because I am right, and you are not.

Go ahead. Get me banned.

Bottom line?
DU crap is exactly what DU and Daily Kos were set up for.
This IS a conservative site.
The Admins will continue to expunge DU propaganda and disinformation as they see it.
You are here at their pleasure, not having paid a penny to post here. Its not a right, its a privilege, and they can withdraw that privilege if they deem it that you want to turn this board into another DU.
How hard is that to understand ? Even for someone as dim as you are?

People, a great deal of energy is wasted confronting trolls. Why not use each occasion of a negative post as a requirement that we all donate another 1/2 to the campaign this week.

Every Single Negative Post Requires More Volunteer Time, from all of us.

First I am here at my pleasure, and second, How do you know if I have contributed to this website?


they deem it that you want to turn this board into another DU.


There are more folks like YOU posting at the DU than me, I assure you, but your line of thought is interesting. I want to refute liberal lies, you want to insult them and then have their posts zotted. Now I understand that that may make you feel really good, but how do you think that conservatives got so good at crushing liberals in debate? Why is O'neill so much better than the libs he comes across? Because he has truth on his side, and can argue that point very effectivelly. You cannot. I understand why free republic is here. I also understand that effective debate is better in the long run for conservatism than zotting is. The MSM zotted us for 50 years. Now look at them. I am not suggesting that FR trun into anything but a conservative message board. You made an assertion that I am a DU troll. Prove your assertion has merit or offer a public apology. That is how conservatives work. Fair enough?

"Go ahead. Get me banned."

Dude , you are even more crazy than I thought.
Its not my business to get you or not get you banned.
That is entirely up to the admins.
Bottom line?: If you post DU talking points that the admins consider inappropriate, they will zap your post, just like they zapped your earlier piece of garbage. :)


"See how easy it is to get under your skin?"

Ermm about that "you getting under my skin" bit.....its going to take a heck of a lot more than your mindless rantings to get under my skin.
Basically I have already assumed I am talking to the village idiot.
Someone to be pitied really.
"Why will I be able to post here tomorrow, the next day, and the day after? "
I am assuming its because you have already registered here under lots t multiple names,so that if you got banned under one name, you'll simply sign on under another name.Typical DU dirty tricks. I assume you are one of those committing election fraud as well, busy registering all the dead people you cam, yes? Won't do you any good I am afraid. President Bush still clobbers Hanoi John come November 2.

we should ask JimRob to suspend all new acounts for the next week...other sites do it, and it will cut down the stress levels for those already stressed ...

I disagree. During elections is the best time to sign up new members. I assume JimRob wants to grow FR not let it stagnate.

So some trolls show up, big deal.

"First I am here at my pleasure"
You may think you are, given that you a are psychically delusional lunatic.
Fact remains however, that you are here strictly as a privilege. That privilege can be withdrawn at any time, and you can't do much about it.

"How do you know if I have contributed to this website?"

Cheap DU trolls like you never contributed anything to anybody..unless its to the moveon.org crazies maybe?

And you are wrong. There, see where assumptions get you? This is the entire point of my line of reasoning in this respect. I, of course, wrote that with the understanding that I will be posting here under the same nick as I am now. Bottom line? DU talking points and reasonable disagreements are not the same things. If I've upset you, I apologize. You made quite a few assumptions without the facts in hand, and that it not a smart thing to do.

Don't have to.
DU trolls are noted for being some of the cheapest people you can come across, as well as the most vicious and insane.

You are no better than the folks who post at the DU. Nice to know that in addition to being unable to prove you contention, you are also without honor.

Don't bother responding. I've no interest in reading what you have to post to me.
