phreakwars Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 The website TOPIX is mainly a right wing love fest of ignorant people spewing garbage, but something that I found interesting recently, was the results of this poll: http://www.topix.com...ue/gay-marriage Considering the radioactive high number of right winger extremist who make up TOPIX, It's interesting where the deeper pink colors in the poll are coming from, and the number of pro .vs against comments.

hugo Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 I an guessing some gay group somewhere is asking people to cast their vote or that gays are more likely to click on that topic. I have always looked at Topix as having an even mix of liberals and conservatives.

phreakwars Posted August 12, 2010 Author Posted August 12, 2010 I just looked at the poll again. Today the score was 14,000+ FOR and just over 10,000 against, now all of a sudden almost 4,000 FOR votes are missing. Hmm, I bet ya one of the right wingers in control of the boards is behind this. TOPIX voters tend to lean right, yet in this poll they didn't... now all of a sudden, votes are missing. . . Quote https://www.facebook.com/phreakwars
snafu Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 I’m wavering on my opinion on the subject. Although I still believe marriage is intended for a man and a women I find myself accepting it more. I do however think they should put something into the bill giving the rights to church to not perform this marriage. I don’t understand why it can’t be just a union between two people and why they must infringe on the sanctity of marriage. PS: I wouldn't have bothered to vote if it weren't for this thread.

Weird...or is it? Quote

Weird...or is it? Nope, we witnessed poll tampering. We all saw the initial poll results when I started the topic. It was well over 13,000+ FOR and just under 10,000 against. Someone didn't like those results, perhaps because it tells a tale that might be a more accurate assessment of how American's feel about gay marriage, so they changed the poll number results. I wonder if others on the Internet who read Topix, have noticed this as well. . . Quote https://www.facebook.com/phreakwars

I agree there was tampering here, but this is far from a scientific poll and isn't likely to show accurately anything, let alone how American's feel on gay marriage. Quote

It is so scientific!! That poll represents every single American in the country! Just like those Obama approval polls (which I've never been asked about or voted on.) They are 100% legitimate, unbiased and FACT! If it's on the internet, it must be true. 1 Quote

phreakwars Posted August 15, 2010 Author Posted August 15, 2010 This is why the only polls I trust, are the election booths. But even those are iffy at times. . . Quote https://www.facebook.com/phreakwars
hugo Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 Professional pollsters are highly accurate, particularly when you average three or four of them. Obama's approval rating is low but not near as low as Congress ratings. It is a bad time to be a politician. I still think Obama will be tough to beat in 2012. 1 Quote The power to do good is also the power to do harm. - Milton Friedman "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents." - James Madison
