I never vote or whatever their stupid crap but the above article pissed me off, so I signed in to rate it down, and as soon as I signed in, it said "thank you for your vote" and said I had buzzed the article up! Is Dickwad running yahoo now?

1. Oh good grief, more people trust McInsane on the economy?

This must be one of those bullshit polls from R-ASS-mussen. :eyes:

[lonestarnot]

4. I wanted to log in and say what bullshit but I guess they don't do that anymore.

[Eurobabe]

8. No, they discontinued the Yahoo boards

about 2 years ago. Just as well, it was a complete swamp pit.

2. Those who trust McCain

more on economics are going to get a surprise when they get their house repo'ed. McCain doesn't even trust himself on economics.

3. I voted it down!

You're right, it was stupid crap.

[lonestarnot]

5. Good! It actually let you vote it down?

Bastards stole my vote!

[Dangerously Amused]

6. Dunno. It just worked for me; it's got nearly 500 votes and 2.5 stars, so...

7. this just in: many Americans don't pay attention to reality

I know that poll may be crap, BUT I also know that a lot of people buy the shit they are fed - that Republixans are fiscally responsible and that the media is liberal, among others.

11. Aren't you contradicting yourself here? If the poll is crap (you mean wrong?) then

the people aren't as deluded as it indicates. I think the poll is probably a pretty good indication of the electorate and if we don't want the repuglicans to stay in the white house we need to quit being so complacent!

[unpossibles]

12. no, I can think both

in that the poll may be crap as far as realistic numbers, but I also know far too many people who don't pay attention and/or watch FOX news. I agree we shouldn't be complacent - trust me, I spend a lot of my time debunking these old lies to almost everyone I know.

9. Why is Yahoo doing something bad here...they're reporting on Rasmussen's poll.

Beating the GOP money and propaganda machine is going to take a lot of dedication and work...denying facts won't get the job done.

15. They rated the damn article up for me, I wanted to boo it out of town!

With a :thumbsdown: James Brown!

[cephalexin]

16. Er, Yahoo rated up a Yahoo article? I think viewers do that...

:eyes:

But at any rate, what do you have against the article itself which simply reports the results of a poll? Isn't that the sort of "kill the messenger" approach most people around here condemn?
I don't get it.

[lonestarnot]

17. That is my beef ballsie.

I said they placed my bet for me! So don't :eyes: me. That fucking worthless piece of crap poll is fixed by the yayhoos. What is so difficult to understand with that? Take a nap soma.

[damntexdem]

10. I disagree: Yahoo is a horrible asshole.

I try to avoid it whenever possible.

[DCKit]

13. Wouldn't let me vote (hated it)....

First time I've ever seen "Stopped" in my browsers activity window.

We SOOOOOOOO need an independent Internet to go with our Linux PCs.

14. Hell, even his WIFE doesn't trust him with the checkbook...got prenup?
