I want to vote for one person who uses 5 sockpuppets:
…colodem
…colodemlover
…cologator
…elmu
I forget the 5th one.
But the way you have this set up, I can only vote for one of his multiple identities/ personalities.
.
It is a work in progress if you will.
No way to distinguish if they are all one and the same, but it is fun none-the-less.
Though I’d take issue on The Blonde. She was obviously shilling for some McCain gear, but commented widely on a number of different topics for a while. It’s true, she carried the Michelle Obama Whitey torch through diary after diary, but my impression was she was just vehement, not a true sock puppet.
The incessant harping put him/her on the list.
Funny, I assumed it was a her and not a him.
Don’t feed the trolls.
but maybe in the mind of a troll/shill/sock puppet/person with no better way to serve than to make inane monotonous points that few comprehend nor wish to, well, in those disturbed minds, it may be.
Barron, elmu is me and me alone. Please stop spreading lies about me. Thanks.
.
We have been challenging each other here for years.
Then you and 4 others show up at the same time,
saying almost the exact same thing,
on just one topic.
It may be just a big coincidence, I admit.
But I’m skeptical.
How about you come clean with how that gusher of coordinated commentary came about yesterday,
and once you do,
I’ll apologize as appropriate.
.
if I’m not these other people? I’ll come clean about the fact that I was discussed by the push poll and that prompted me to comment, but that’s all I can and need to come clean about.
I prefer to think of communities as welcoming versus accusatory (And, for the most part, people have been very welcoming).
Do not feed the trolls and they’ll go away.
until then, let’s make fun of ’em.
but what the hell is a sock puppet?
An anonomous political supporter?
Strictly speaking, it’s someone who makes up multiple identities so they can agree with themselves or bash those who disagree with them.
A shill would be someone who claims to be a member of the general public but is in fact sponsored by a campaign (or merely posts at the direction of a campaign.)
The poll here covers both categories.
Your description is more apt to what the poll should be.
I think the next poll should be who is most mentally unstable. Barron X it is your chance at fame on Colorado pols!
Barron X beats me on crazy? I supported Mike Gravel for crying out loud!
I’m slightly offended.
[For the record, Barron’s posts are always the most well-thought out, in my opinion.]
I fully support this poll!
I think it should be a gold-plated sock.
will be McCain points!
The Kaptain AmeriKa is an oldie but goodie. Usually pimps Musgrave when he comes around.
I went with Blondie although it was a tough call. She (I think it’s a she, but I suppose after S.B. 200, we’ll never know for sure) is probably the most obnoxious on that list.
You’re right…..if Capt. America (who I’m convinced is John Andrews) had been on the list, I might have voted differently.
will be back. I used to see him logged in a lot, not commenting (not even to say some horseshit like “Ed Sealover is a great American” – remember when he was on that kick?). But he’ll be there to remind us of Musty’s great contributions to our American way of life, especially if the CD4 race is as close as everyone thinks it will be.
but had to go with the most recent annoyances.
None of the current shills come close to LHGLQ!
That one set the gold standard at ColoradoPols. I really thought we’d see him (or her?) back since Lamborn is now facing a rerun of ’06.
A coincidence? I think not. I think we were really had by an expert.
So I can vote for “Libertarians4Doug”
even if they only last a few weeks
I tried having meaningful discussions with L4D, but never got anything but the same talking points.
I think more here should try to have fun with the trolls/shills/sockpuppets. Make them back up their statements. That’ll make ’em go away quick.
ColoradoPols is by far the best sock puppet on this site.
Second place is LambornHasGodLikeQualities
Everyone else is a distant third.
They blog multiple personalities under one moniker.
The three people originally behind Colorado Pols sometimes identified themselves in posts as three turn-of-the-century Colorado Governors: Alva Adams, James Peabody, and Jesse McDonald. See the archived site’s ‘About’ page.
Jason’s now running for JeffCo Commissioner and is supposedly not posting any more, according to the now more-anonymous “Colorado Pols”. No idea if the original Jesse and James are still posting or if there have been replacements – they haven’t signed their alter-ego identities to posts in a long time.
and had the odd distinction of serving as the fifth, 10th and 14th governor of the state, with terms spanning 1887 to 1905, although his last appearance lasted less than a day. (See below for the sordid tale.) His younger brother, Billy, was a Colorado governor in the ’20s and his son, also named Alva, was a member of the U.S. Senate briefly in the ’20s and then from 1933 to 1941.
Alva, James and Jesse share a unique distinction in the annals of U.S. governors. Here’s the rundown:
Here’s Peabody’s historic resignation letter.
Kinda puts the trials and tribulations of today’s Colorado political scene in perspective. Things could be a lot more rambunctious!
for the promotion.
Last I checked this morning there were only nine votes, but the war is ragin’ now 🙂
You seem to have a couple of Polis guys/gals in there, but none of the Fitz folks, like GoBlue (if I remember correctly), and Phoenix Rising.
Talk about the hand biting the dog, though. The whole POINT of this site, what makes it so funny, is that it’s ALL shills and sock puppets, or virtually all.
To be honest, I don’t remember who’s who when the shillin’ begins to fly. I glance at the posts, if that. I’ve kept a list of names but don’t care who they represent.
Go Blue is partisan all the way but backs up his facts about a variety of issues.
I always read Phoenix’s posts becasue I agree with him most of the time and he knows what he’s talking about all the time.
In any case, if I do this again I’ll be more considerate of equal representation.
I only post under one ‘nym, so I’m not a sockpuppet, and I’m not a shill, because I don’t post exclusively in favor of any one candidate or issue.
I haven’t even exclusively posted in favor of Joan within the CD-2 race.
Which I believe they most certainly are not, then they have been pulling some deep cover duty for a long ass time. Phoenix was on here since this registration started and Im pretty sure Go Blue has been on here since I started as well, maybe longer.
You, on the other hand, have just a few comments outside of the CD-2 threads. I cant remember which way you swing, presumably polis based on this comment, and frankly I dont care. But accusing Phoenix and Go Blue shows either your reading comprehension is weak, or you take any slight against Polis to be spawned from a sock puppet.
My fav is the blonde, she accused me of being something awhile back. I cant remember what it was, but I remember it being hilarious.
I don’t know how long I’ve been on Colorado Pols; I don’t think the archive site goes back clear to the beginning. I’ve been on Daily Kos since Jan. 2004, which predates my active involvement in the Democratic Party by a month or two.
There’s still a few of us “old-timers” here, some posting under new ‘nyms, others still posting under their original sign-offs. We had a bit of a history discussion a while back – can’t find it now.
I posted on the blogspot site a couple of times, using my first name. I didnt get into until my jaunt to law school.
I have been on the somethingawful forums since 04, but the debate and discussion forums arent exactly all politics all the time, like kos.
It is interesting the difference between the debate sites. SA is so much more abrazive and that style doesnt exactly translate here and I get carried away sometimes.
Either way, you have been here too long to be a sock puppet, and your command of knowledge is too impressive. Thanks for posting.
I’ve never ventured to SA for any length of time – I gave up on abusive groups when Internet bulletin board sites became more popular then USENet. I’ve pretty much retired the asbestos underwear now that I spend my time in more civilized climes.
After that my skin would put a dermatologist’s kid through college. I gave up on D&D when I noticed that I could look at the thread subject title, the person’s avatar and know exactly what argument they would make. The discussions usually have good info, but the acidity with which the info is delivered gets old.
I still read it for the poker forum which is actually really friendly as long as you dont come in with far flung ideas on how to beat the system or think a good month equals dropping everything for a pro career. Although, the subforums probably require interest
One thing I do like, is there probation/ban system, and the fact that it costs money to join. Granted 10 bucks isnt much, but it keeps some of the trolls out, and the ban system cleans up most of the others.
Apples to apples though, I like it here more.
Do I get some kind of award or certificate or something? Is the contest over? When do I know if I actually win or not?
Wow. This is really an honor if I can stay in the lead.
10,000 points on your hunting license and a hair coloring kit.
Even saying the words “Bernie Beuscher” doesn’t bring her/them out any more.
