I think we are talking about two different types of polls. You are talking about polls external to FreeRepublic.com. For those, I'd agree, nothing needs to be done. But I was talking about the polls that show up on the FR sidebar, such as the current one, "Are you happy with President Bush's choice of Alberto Gonzales for Attorney General?" I would like to have an official thread for this poll. It is going to take more than just a couple of minutes of searching on Google for it to be clear to me whether Gonzales adhered closely to legislative intent in the parental notification cases. Some discussion on FR might make it easier to sort out the facts.
No doubt the discussion is already here on FR, in several places, but it seems to me having an official FR discussion thread for each FR poll would be a logical place for Freepers to present their arguments for their point of view on the subject of the poll, as well as being a logical place to discuss the poll results.
Ain't that the truth. Google the subject and all you get is one page after another presenting the same narrow facts which don't elucidate the issue, most of which simply re-quote the same source (usually CNN or someone like that). But you may find my link at #45 helpful.
