1. Whaddaya know? A self-freeping poll!

Losers.

eta that "war in Iraq" is now up to 3%. Woo-hoo!

[htuttle]

2. They deleted about 6,000 votes

Just practicing for the 2006 midterms, I'd imagine.

3. Wait a second...

I'VE GOT IT! The 2004 election.

5. Excellent find! Let's keep tracking this over time.

Looks like it's being run by Harris and Blackwell, with software by Diebold.

:wtf:

6. The number of votes went down

in the update. Seems they removed almost all the homeland security, defense and Iraq votes

7. Eliminating Foreign Aid? That's Barely A Drop In The Bucket. More Like

a bead of condensation.

We give next to nothing in foreign aid.

13. Yes, shows the utter stupidity of the poll creators and respondents

Cutting ALL of the US's foreign aid wouldn't even come close to balancing the budget. The morons should look at military spending (including Iraq) as a percentage of total spending if they want to find a clue as to where there's room to cut.

14. I know - it's a classic red herring to throw the moron REPUKES

They are so retarded. Even worse, the results were manipulated by those lying bastards - AMAZING!!!

[KansDem]

18. Correct me if I'm wrong...

A lot of people think foreign aid is nothing more than lump $um$ given to foreign governments; like a check for several million dollars. What they don't realize is that much of the foreign aid the United States gives to other countries are tangible items, such as farm commodities. The dollar amount reflects the size of that aide.

So when someone advocates the elimination of "foreign aide," they're also cutting off a potential market for other Americans, such as farmers.

8. Tax Cuts for the Rich?

I guess they forgot to include that one.

[Maraya1969]

11. Exactly what I was thinking

[Southern Dem 2005]

9. My problem is that

5% of the people at ANY point in time thought we should cut aid for public housing or food stamps. That should have been 0%. Although I know some people who think cutting social programs so that you can also cut taxes on the rich is a good idea. They are pretty much greedy bastards.

[RebelOne]

10. I wrote a letter and asked them where 6044 votes went.

I sent your results.

[Mr_Spock]

15. I sent the results as well and asked who they were lying to?

They're just fooling themselves. There time is coming - and sooner than they might think - as usual. People really don't like these ass holes - they just need to be woken up.

12. LBN

16. They rigged it totally...

I think the administrators of the website directly messed with the poll.

[Snotcicles]

17. You must have been voter 6044 n/t haha

[BlueEyedSon]

19. The US basically gives no "foreign aid", cutting it won't help.
