Freepers get revenge !!

[jaysunb]

Last week I posted an annual poll that ranks Senators by their integrity,honor,dignity and character.
John Kerry was the winner in 06, but it was an open field this year, that is, until the freepers got hold of it.

Last week, not a republican Senator was ranked above # 50 ( HRC held that spot ) and Joe Lieberman ranked 100th...and still does( Mc Cain stayed at 99 ) Well, the freeps have gotten hold of the poll and the results are predictable...sort of. Two Dems, Kerry & Webb are in the top 50...McCain is not.

Go to the site and rank the senate http://newpoliticalreview.com/poll.php

1. Hmm. Well, while it's nice to see one of my Senators in the #1 spot,

they picked the wrong one. :silly:

[jaysunb]

3. Please rank your Senator up

it's in real time , so it will change.

[Cabcere]

6. Oh, I already have.

Along with several others who are not deserving of their current low rankings. :hi:

4. K&R -- suck it, freepers.

[Bobbie Jo]

5. Oh my

This does need help. :puke: C'mon DU, this cannot stand.

[Elwood P Dowd]

7. K&R (nm)

8. Well, I can't rank my Senators because they are both Republicans.

So I chose Obama.

[Critters2]

18. You can rank 'em all

You can click on any or all, and then rank 'em.

[never cry wolf]

34. Yes, one vote per week per senator, you can ranks yours low

[The Count]

9. Lynching advocate Trent Lott is # 20???? That needs correction ASAP!

I voted up some good guys (Feingold, Boxer, Kennedy, Byrd) and down some weasels - such as Warner. But KKK Lott is moving up anyway.

[Pacifist Patriot]

21. Grotesque isn't it?

[nashville_brook]

10. that design of this ranking instrument is counterintuitive

1 = worst
5 = best

[The Count]

15. Which is why hy freepers got fooled last month, I think. After reading the result, they

re-evaluated their strategy :P

[jaysunb]

38. Damn !

I was wondering why all the repukes were under 50...you're too funny !

[Pacifist Patriot]

17. I too was wondering if that might be part of the problem.

I had to catch myself on the first couple.

11. Internet polls mean nothing

This one means that the freepers who have nothing better to do can sit all day and click on this stuff.

Screw them. They lost. Will continue to lose. Everyone who has an IQ greater than Cool Whip knows that Barack Obama has greater integrity, dignity and honor than Saxby Chambliss. :crazy:

Mz Pip
:dem:

[Critters2]

20. The chair I'm sitting in

has greater integrity, dignity and honor than Saxby Chambliss.

[Pacifist Patriot]

25. What do you have against Cool Whip?

;)

[Gatchaman]

12. Republican Loyalty on Display

I love how the freepers have voted up all the republic senators while leaving joe lieberman languishing at position 100 (where he certainly deserves to be)

[Glorfindel]

Any poll that ranks Saxby Chambliss higher than 100 is WRONG

He sets the gold standard for "vile and corrupt lying politician."

[jgraz]

13. Got some time? Can't get enough of down-ranking rethugs?

Just remove the newpoliticalreview.com cookie from your cache and...voila! You can vote all over again.

[Glorfindel]

14. Any poll that ranks Saxby Chambliss higher than 100 is WRONG

He sets the gold standard for "vile and corrupt lying politician."

[jannyk]

16. It's being freeped as we write...

I moved Elizabeth Dole down from #3 to #21 and now she's back at #2 and I haven't finished yet.

Interesting that everyone hates Lieberman and also that McCain is at the bottom of the Repug heap!

[Pacifist Patriot]

19. Why in the world does Warner keep floating back to the top?

[Warpy]

22. Scum floats

[Pacifist Patriot]

26. Clearly. It's actually kind of fun to watch. A second ago..

Kay Bailey leap-frogged to the number one spot and Warner hopped right back up on top of her a minute later.

[Warpy]

28. Ow! My eyes!

That visual will haunt me for days...

[Pacifist Patriot]

29. Gee, how warped are you?

}(

[Beaverhausen]

23. Ok- I'm voting. Notice Kerry is above McCain

Even freepers don't like him. yikes!

[Pacifist Patriot]

24. I have a problem with the scoring.

How can a member of the GOP even rate a 1 on integrity? ;)

[Cabcere]

27. Yeah, seriously.

Where are the negative numbers when ya need 'em? ;)

[Ian David]

30. I can't believe how much time I just spent on that. Imagine the man-hours that went into Freeping it

[LeftishBrit]

31. OK, a little contribution just came in from the Coalition of the Really Willing

We can't have Brownback and Lott and Corker ranked above Bernie Sanders, can we!

[GoneOffShore]

32. Looks like New Political Review

Leans pretty far right, despite their claim of being non partisan.

There's a lot of reich wing hackery there.

[jaysunb]

39. it was just the oppsite a week ago

as I stated in my op. I think they either didn't understand how it worked or they just found it today.

[Warren DeMontague]

33. You know that show, "Everybody Hates Chris"?

Apparently, everybody hates Joe, too.

[jaysunb]

40. You're right !

no matter who's voting, Joe is everyones asswipe. :evilgrin:

[wicket]

35. done

K & R

:kick:

[Warren DeMontague]

36. Some of our self-appointed politcal analysts should take a look at this.

Particularly the ones who keep insisting "It's gonna be Guiliani!"

Yes, I know he's not in the Senate, but the message here is this: there's NO WAY They're going to nominate someone pro-choice. Obviously it's going to be some Jesus-drunk goober like Brownback, who will promise them that he'll make birth control illegal.

[wicket]

37. kick

:kick:

[WorldResident]

41. This is why online polls are useless

n/t

[seabeyond]

42. i dont believe it. something is up with

this. the dems wouldnt have lost all their votes and i do not believe that many freepers went thru a 100 people to vote on each.... it would take too much time

[Nimrod2005]

53. Check it now....It reversed everything, Dems back on top!

[VP505]

43. I went over

and did some voting, and will do some more later using that old adage, vote early and often. you can really tell the freepers hit it hard just look at the diff between the red graph bars, the RePukes way out number the Dem's.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

44. It was BS last week ... and it's still BS

Last week only Democrats were in the top half
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=239274#240464

This week it's Repubs.

It's not a poll. It's an orchestrated rally competition, who can send the most voters there. It's American Idol.

It has nothing at all to do with "integrity, honor, dignity, and character"

It doesn't get us universal health care, or peace, or alternative energy.

It's a waste of time.

[kdpeters]

45. Good to see they're keeping the strategy that worked so well in '06.

Let's hope they keep it up. While the adult are trying to talk seriously about important issues, freepers and wingnuts want to talk about us. I don't know who they think they're fooling, but let's hope they never wise up.

[jaysunb]

46. You're so right...

and to think, these people actually think they are the majority voice in this country. If it were not for Diebold, ESS et al, they'd be seen for exactly what they are : idiots !

[Cabcere]

47. Oh no they fucking didn't.

Webb in 98th place? :mad: Kerry in 99th?! Fuck that shit. :grr: (Lieberman's still ranked last, though.) :P

[Elwood P Dowd]

48. It's rigged

I kept disabling cookies and voting for Kerry this afternoon and evening. He drops from 48 to the bottom.

[Nimrod2005]

51. Check now.....nt

[TheBaldyMan]

49. who is new political review anyway?

is this click-fest really necessary?

[Nimrod2005]

50. Man, this flipped in our favor, did DU do this?

[blm]

52. Nah - it's a small group making automatic postings that get by site's program.

Somebody is cracking it on both sides, so this poll lost its legitimacy a couple weeks ago.

The site went through all last year without the concerted hacking. Now, it's just a game of what side are the hackers on.

[jgraz]

54. What did they expect? The site's begging to be botted

It's not really even a crack -- you just write a little script that POSTs your votes and then clears the ONE, clearly-labeled cookie they use to prevent repeat voters. (Not that I would do such a thing, no O8) ). Hell, they don't even check for multiple postings from the same IP.

Hopefully, they'll learn their lesson for next year. Those dang internets are hard for political-types to figger out.

Edit: To even say it's "both sides" is incorrect. There are now crackers cracking at the original cracking programs -- trying to get their favs to stay on top during the huge Dem/Rethug pendulum swings. Notice how Obama somehow rose to number 2 while Hillary sunk to 50. It's actually not a bad way to see which senators have the most tech-savvy people on their staffs.

[jaysunb]

60. I'm afraid your'e right...

I even found myself "cheating" early and often. :evilgrin: After I saw the freepers had gotton hold of it, I couldn't help myself.

:hi:

[Kurovski]

55. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is almost always on the cusp of the Republicans

in this poll.

It was the same thing last time with this poll.

[Nimrod2005]

57. That's why she loses big time in polls against Rudy Guiliani, he is more liberal than she is!!!

That's why she is not electable...Need to move as far away from her as possible.

[wicket]

56. Now it's totally flipped - Dems are all on top

Lieberman is still dead last :D

[Lester222]

58. ...

sure, the freepers are always right *sigh*

[VP505]

59. Had a look

earlier today and was pleased to see that flip, it was much closer to reality, but prob wont stay thet way.

[wicket]

61. kick
