Vote on AOL Wal-Mart Polls (Good company or Bad)
http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/business/article.adp?id=20051101101609990009&ncid=NWS00010000000001

I am looking forward to that documentary film about how corrupt Wal-Mart is. Any company that is a friend of Tom DeLay's is no friend of mine. I stopped shopping at Wal-Mart for good a couple of weeks ago. Should have done it a long time ago.

10. AOL's not getting radical; it's marketing
AOL features "controversial" subjects in its news spotlights so people will (1.) read them, and thus see the ads on the page, (2.) go to the message boards and chat rooms (I call them LIBS SUCK rooms) and thus see the ads on those pages, and (3.) get cookied by clicking those links, and probably from voting in the polls.

Although lately, the "controversial" stuff has been more left-leaning. But that'll change. It's marketing, after all. :puke:

11. I see what you mean, and I agree...and I call them LIBS SUCK rooms too!!!
Some of the mods actually actually have names to reflect their suppposed 'pre-lib' status change (like 'reformed lib' 'ex-lib', etc. Complaining doesn't do any good, but it would really bother me if I spent any time in those chat rooms...) What I meant by Lib change in AOL are the recent polls results by AOL viewers...Very anti-B*.

Just look at the results of this recent AOL Poll...B* is a Failure. It's no longer just us DUers that know this...it is now the Nation and the world! This was an AOL Poll Not one word of the results have been broadcast on CNN and/or MSNBC. Considering all of the favorable B* poll results that they have reported on previously speaks volumes about their complicity in all of this "Mess 'o' Potamia."

3. Could you post the questions and results? I'm bombarded with ads
on AOL (and I'm a memeber!) and I hate to waste time going to the link if its not something that I want to vote for. I hate AOL like you hate Wal-Mart...but I've not yet quit either for good. Your news about DeLay will do it for me wrspt. Wal-Mart.
