Poll question: Do you think the average American has figured it out yet?
Edited on Sun Apr-13-08 08:49 PM by BeHereNow
By "it," I mean the fact that the people in power, both democrats and republicans
don't give a damn about them?

2. Care to elaborate? Why do you see it as an "elitist" poll?

6. yes, hence the apathy. they may still vote, prefer a party, strongly....
but yes, i think the strong majority of americans feel neither party are concerned about them. i think it is an easy given

8. I tend to agree with you- that is my observation as of late.
I've talked with several people in my local market- many who
openly admit voting for the Frick and Frack team of Bush and Cheney.

What is interesting to me is that some of them comment that
they thought the 2006 majority win might help turn things around
a bit (like many of us here also hoped...) Now they don't know
who to vote for as they, like me, have no faith in ANY of the
sElected so called representatives of WE, the people.

Personally- I think we are fucked in a way we haven't even
begun to feel, no matter who is appointed by the rigged voting machines.

10. Complete absence of clues
Wouldn't know where to find one, and couldn't scrape together 5 cents to buy one.
