I find it amazing that someone would find that tens of thousands of folks would take the time to read and answer a question to express an opinion has no meaning. You can read the question your self and ask how you would vote. Why would you vote a certain way. I find the polls at vote.com are worded to create a binary decision based upon a clear difference in yes or no. I find that most of the time I'm with the majority. But sometimes I'm with the minority. But thinking about who can and does vote and who they are vs joe anybody also has meaning. If you find the wording of the questions at vote.com leading, why do you not assume that others also find the wording leading and vote based upon the same analysis and care that you would exercise. vote.com On should America increase food drop to Afghanistan. es YES (11,127) (54%) No (9,333) (46%) If you go to any results, on the left you can view other votes. You vote or not and still review the results. I have no idea why you say they BS. They are a measurement of sentiment on an issue at a point in time. I find them fascinating. And that in that the votes at vote.com do show common sense American values voting on issues, hmmmm... 99% of the time I find it fun to present the common sense facts to the vacant liberal minds. tom watson tosiwmee
