A georgewbush.com poll (if you could call it that) that's, like, strange.
If you go to the front page of http://www.georgewbush.com and look toward the bottom right corner, there's this poll:

How many working families are benefiting from President Bush's Jobs and Growth Act?
12 million
23 million
34 million
18 million

Wait a second! The number of people benefiting from a program is a matter of people's opinion? This is weird! And it's a poll, not a quiz, because it's called "Quick Vote"! What's happening here??!!

1. I saw that the other day..it actually is a quiz though
The question is phrased like it's asking your opinion, but if you say 12 million then it tells you something like 'No, wrong answer, President Bush's plan helps 34 million'.

Suuureee..

4. That's one gloomy looking site
So dark and Orwellian.

"Jobs are created when the economy grows;
the economy grows when Americans
have more money to spend and invest."


Yah, bitch, we know;
that's why you're about to lose
your job.

8. Yeah, it's funny
I voted for 12 million (though if it was not a multiple choice test, I would have to vote for 0 million, since I don't think it makes much sense to say that billionaires are working families.

But apparently I was "wrong," so I guess now I am more likely to vote for Bush. :eyes:
