What's the deal with vote.com? |
|
I'm a little new at this. At first glance it would appear to be a liberal type site, but its poll answers seem skewed to the right. I registered myself and took part in all of the active polls. Am I wrong about the poll results or am I just THAT far left?

1. Actually, correct me if I'm wrong, but |
|
I think that site is run by that toe sucking fool Dick Morris.

2. All I know about vote.com |
|
is that yhey were so far off on the 2000 election it was laughable. I do think Dick Morris has some connection.

They produce intensely misleading poll questions and breed spam too.

3. It draws responses from the right wing... |
|
... I think they pass the word along among themselves to go there and vote. The ultra-right from AOL were always quoting the results as if they meant something back when I was on AOL.

4. Waste of time, skewed questions, self selecting sample |

6. That place used to drive me nuts. |
|
It's a VERY skewed reflection of the world. Best leave that place alone.
