[kj] OT - Obama. .

[The Exorcist]

Ironic isn't it....

Ann Garry is doing the EXACT same thing that she's complaining about.
You'd think a feminist philosopher would be able to grasp such irony.
(No wonder "the kids" today are lacking.)

Online polls are shit. This stuff has always been 
around. If you look online at right/left/center/whatever blogs
and sites, they all tell their readers to vote 
for XYZ... It's one big fucking sham and they ALL do it.

(I think it's called freeping. A term coined on 
the right wing Free Republic site. Go to 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Republic
and scroll down to influencing polls.)

If Obama does great they say "HA!!! Look at the 
polls!". If he does bad, they'll say "The poll was rigged/stuffed/freepd".
The exact opposite will be said by his detractors. The futility is quite clear.

Crying over this crap is a waste of time. I have 
not, nor do I EVER plan on voting for any online polls.
(Well, other than technology sites which ask 
about hardware and software like DSLR)

For added Emphasis.... (Left on Left)

Daily Kos has a poll put up today at 9:42 AM. 
Make sure to go there today and vote for Obama! 
It’s still early
Obama’s now in second place at 
26% behind Edwards at 35% Let’s change these 
numbers to reflect the grassroots support we are 
seeing moving in his direction.

This is the silly game that is played. By 
forwarding this stuff they're using you as a stooge.
Aye aye Ka-pi-tan!

Cheers!
