AOL's news service is conducting a poll on whether the Democrats should have used the bodies of dead soldiers to raise money for their leadership.
You can vote here.
Update [2006-7-14 20:17:54 by Erick]: For balance they have one about Bush's use of 9/11 images in his campaign ads, too.

Why bother with online polls? I don't believe them anyway, especially when Democratic Underground is running it as the first news item on their site. This is where the blogosphere gets stupid, in my opinion. DU are the Vote Stuffers Extraordinaire, as we already know from the last election cycle, and frankly my view is that Republicans should just let them run it up to 100% and then let Nancy Pelosi tell everyone in Congress how she has the support of 100% of the people.
is notoriously slanted left. I've yet to see an AOL poll that is anywhere near similar polling data of a scientific polling center. This poll is certainly not a reflection of the national mood.
Is realizing that every time some numbskull asks you for your opinion, you are not obligated to answer. You're not allowed to punch that person in the face, either, but there is no reason you can't say something completely different from what you think, or say nothing at all. It's very, very difficult stastically to make sense of that kind of random data.
But the democrats using the coffins of the valiant men who defend this country is wrong. Its not a 1st ammendment issue. Its not a republicans have spots involving the troops why can't the dems. It is about supporting the troops when they are alive and not defaming their memory when they are dead. These people gave their lives for a cause. If you agree with it or if you don't they deserve not to have their images twisted against the cause they gave their lives for.
This is why Cindy Sheehan is such an abomination. Her son believed in something and he was able to live his life in pursuit of that belief. She demonstrates no regard and no respect for her offspring.
The more random data Rahm Emanuel has to work with, the better we serve the SOB. He loves it. Mark my words.
that try to "quit them." ;)
After seeing your comment about DU[H], I wanted to go see again how the vote was going. Unfortunately, since there was no "view results" button, I had to act like a Democrat (feel filthy, must go shower) and vote a second time to see the results again.
Interesting that even with presumed DU[H] vote stuffing, they can barely manage a 51% majority.
The entire article is written by Anne E. Kornblut (bet she had fun in grade school) of the New York Times.
She's standard material for the NYT. The first and last paragraphs minimize the heinous video's images and portray the republican outcry as hypocritical and unnecessary.
Shocking? No. Baited poll? Yes.
I missed that, I just saw his big head ;)
And see how many times you can answer the poll. And, if you answer "Democrat" every time, the pollster will have cause to believe you, even if he recognizes you multiple times, since everyone knows that Democrats vote early and often.
I think the simplest way to confound a poll is not to answer one. In the next election, I'd like to see the Democrats claim that their exit-polling numbers showed that they won the majority in every contested seat everywhere in the country.
I lived in Chicago and I was subjected to both pre-vote and post-vote "entry" and "exit" polling and I didn't tell anyone how I was actually going to vote until the moment I punched the card. My advice for Republicans is to do exactly the same thing everywhere in the country.
For the next four months, the Democrats will have a tremendous amount of data showing just how incredibly they are going to win...
My advice is not to answer the phone, and don't press any buttons in online polls. Just say no. If they don't have any data, all the rest of what they're going to say is absolutely pure speculation, which is only a little better than what they're going to say anyway.
I was thinking more of the vote tally for Liddell. Everyone else gets about 6,000 up to 30,000 but Chuckie gets 44,359,478 thanks to script kiddies.
Everybody knows Fedor smoked him.
But maybe they restricted the voting to human beings...
One of the editors here got excoriated by the left for calling her a "media whore". Doesn't matter to them if it's true.
She's not enjoying her son's death, she's got a funny way to show it.
This woman is an abomination to her son's memory, to Thousands of Gold Star Mothers from every war in the last Century and the GWOT, and to the nation in General.
She has the right to oppose the war, and to speak her mind. Everyone does that lives here.
Most of us aren't doing it on the MSM every evening. She's a freakin' media whore, who got herself some spotlight, and is now on the Celebrity Walk to Infamy.
I've read things that were written by Casey's friends. He was a good Marine, he believed in the Iraq mission, and as all Marines do, from his guardpost on the streets of Heaven, If Casey could speak I'd think he'd say, "She's my Mom, but SHE SURE AIN'T ON MY TEAM!"
DU stuffing is counterbalanced with Free Republic stuffing. The headline on FR is
"AOL Poll asking is using Troop Coffins Appropriate - Freep that Poll!"
that the DU(H) vote stuffing effort is succeeding much better than that of the Freepers. I guess some things come more natural......
Last I knew, coupla years ago I guess, Anne Kornblut was peddling her sleazy anti-Americanism at the Boston Globe. So now she's been promoted to the Cathedral of Treason, the nyt? Her star is rising, I see.
Is it just me, or is it obvious that anyone can vote more than once. I tried it "just to see." At least the poll doesn't tell you that you have already voted, as does most other polls I have taken online. Anyone know?

at least partially. I think the poll is interesting in that it definitively shows AOL is liberal--but we knew that anyway.
