      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. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/11/29/124013/18

      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!

          Please review the message below and vote (it̢۪s real easy).  When doing so, o, please consider the horrendous complex of problems, none of his making, with which he has to deal along with the fact that he has been in office less than 100 days although it does not feel like this.  Also consider the purpose for which anti-Obamaites will use this.

        MSNBC has a poll up about the President ' s job so far for the first 100 days. Republicans are flooding the poll with "F" votes. E-mail to all those that you can. Obama needs our help. His 100 day mark is approaching fast. 


        Pass this address on and go to it to vote:

        takes one second to vote – current %age now is hugely Fs.
