Don't you care?
Quick Vote

Yes 37%

59346 votes

No 63%

99891 votes

Freepers win the CNN poll.

1. I don't
Bear in mind that these people think that Faux News Channel is a champion of fair, blanaced, ethical journalism.

They are idiots.

And the only way they can justify their hatred and idiocy is to convince themselves that a wide majority of the country is with them.

How do they do that?

They take online polls, then they tell all their friends to take them, then they spend the better part of an hour in a massive online circle-jerk as they dump their cache and vote again and again in the polls.

I say, let them. It obviously gets them off, and at least they leave me alone.

5. Who are all these pessimists?
Who says, who cares? Who is saying this? Freepers?

I'm new, so who are these people?

EVERYTHING matters! That's why they are winning the PR battle.

Don't you get it?

7. If you worry about self-selecting net polls...
...you're destined to go crazy.

I was on the net in 1992 when a Prodigy poll showed that Perot would win the election with 70% of the vote. And I've never taken them seriously since.

I never believed it to begin with because it validated that bush served in some way in the national guard.

3. if poll numbers are gathered on false numbers
by being freeped or otherwise is worthless in my book. If that's what we go on nowadays we're in sadder shape than many know.

6. Lies or not...
... it becomes PR and matters. That's why they do it. That's why some are PAID to do it by the repubs.

19. I don't care about Dan Rather apologizing
any more than I cared about Bill Clinton lying about getting an intern under his desk.
