3. THANK YOU..it is such a lame exercise.
it would be hilarious if all of them were freeped so the networks, etc

consistently show a 75 or 80% poll for whatever supposedly favors the malignant one.

5. I take the pledge!!! NO MORE STUPID ASS POLLS!
Our hits just boost their advertising revenue, anyway.

7. Excellent Point
I too, Am finished skewing polls. It's a waste of time, and potentially damages our own cause.

6. I did one today but
that was it.

I think I'm done too b/c some many have pointed out that we shouldn't give the site the poll is on any advertising or hits.

10. Excellent Idea! Online Poll Boycott!
Let's have those media tools think that all of a sudden, Bush really DOES have his mandate.

Suckers.

11. So do I. The more hits they get the more $ they get
from advertisers. I refuse. I am not going to click on links to articles on corporate-media sites anymore. I'll just read the summaries provided by the DUer who posts it.
