DU Facebookers --- My wingnut friend posting wildly skewed FB polls
Edited on Mon Aug-10-09 09:46 PM by K8-EEE
I guess the only end up on like-minded FB pages?

I know I know who cared but I would like to surprise her

ARE YOU IN FAVOR OF HEALTH CARE REFORM PROPOSED BY OBAMA?

82% no.....

1. It won't let me vote.
Do you have to be his friend to vote?

6. There's a url after "direct link to send..." Click on that url, and it'll take you
to the page to vote on the poll. Took me a minute to figure it out, too.

Once I voted, it showed up on my home page. All my friends are lefties, many of them DUers. That should change the numbers.

2. I voted for what it's worth
Not that it matters what Facebook users think. What counts is the vote on election day.

5. These people are so idiotic.
Did you read some of the comments?
I had to make some pointed, nasty replies about Medicare being socialized medicine.
These people are complete morons.

10. The irony is that one of the other polls on that poll page asks
if Congress should have the same health plan the rest of us have (as if that makes sense in the first place since there is no universal health plan) and 99% of people voted yes. What all this means is that the majority of people who answer polls on facebook are idiots.

In a moment of irritation, I created a Facebook Quiz for people to find out if they were addicted to Facebook quizzes and you wouldn't believe how many people actually took the stupid quiz!
