| 715336 | 2008-10-28 06:11:00 | I was looking at TV3's election site (http://www.decision08.co.nz ) and I noticed that the polls seem to be being manipulated. On the most recent poll it shows Rodney Hide as being the best performer in last nights minor party debate. A whopping 76% of 'the people' thought that he was the best. www.decision08.co.nz I also noticed how easy it was to manipulate those polls, vote, clear the cookie, and vote again, something for the Young Nats to do? Here's my favourite: Do you believe that Lockwood Smith's comments regarding Asian and Pacific Island workers are inappropriate for a senior politician of his stature to be making? Yes 20% No 79% Don't know 1% |

| 715342 | 2008-10-28 09:13:00 | I'd vote that way in the polls... can't see why they'd be rigged, given how unimportant they are. Rodney Hide is a good guy, great speaker so I don't see why he shouldn't do well in something like that. Don't get me started on his politics though, definitely won't be voting his way. Those Labour adds on JK are appalling. Surely they want to say what they want to do, and not just make the other guy look bad? That's just bad sportsmanship, which kiwis will never buy. They're idiots for thinking that we would. Anyway, for a bleeding heart liberal I'm starting to sound very conservative. WTF is going on? What mistake Metla? Superiour? Meh. |
