When you go back over to DU, I am sure you will see some threads where the members there "DU"mb Polls. We attempt to offset it and make it more even.

Why freep polls?

Good question.

It used to be that most online newspapers were averaging less than 10 hits a day & couldn't sell any banner ads up top as a result. Then they discoverd that if they put a controversial poll on the page, freepers would send thousands of free hits to the page (that no one else was looking at anyway) and use the combined monthly hit stats to sell more banner ads.

Listen, I used to be a Dem. There is hope. Let me ask you a question why are you a Dem?. The Dem Party is the party of special interests, and the American people only count during an election year. Dems are for the war, then they are against it. Dems say its unconstitutional to filibuster judges then they filibuster judges. Dems take money away from working people and give it to people who don't work. Is it any wonder Dems want to give felons the right to vote? Most Felons are Democrats! Hang out with us. We will tell you the truth. Leaders of your party wouldn't know the truth if it jumped up and bit them.
