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
like all web polls it is for entertainment purposes only

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

7. You will be inundated with ads.
Strictly a site to get your addy. Sleazy. Not liberal. Slimy.Stay far away.
