What's the deal with AOL and Republicans?

[progressoid]

I just checked my address book and most of the AOL people are RWers or Fundies or both.

WTF? :wtf:

1. I would suggest maybe the intelligence factor.

AOL is way more expensive and limiting. Most folks have moved on.

[progressoid]

3. Yep -

A couple of them have complained about their service but won't change. Morans

2. phone line modems are the latest conservative rage. nt

4. At least they've finally moved past the telegraph!

[scheming daemons]

5. A) Mostly over 60 B) Rural C) dial-up D) Computer illiterate

That's your typical wingnut right there....

[unpossibles]

6. by definition they are afraid of change... nt

[nevergiveup]

7. I have AOL and I seldom take their polls

as it is too depressing to see the results. On AOL I am the "fringe" left wing element when in the real world I am a moderate liberal. I would have dropped AOL a long time ago but I am just too damn lazy.

8. You've got spam.

Just ignore America Offline.

9. AOL, Twitter and You Tube are infested with Republicans.

10. I have not used AOL in 12 years....Rethugs are behind the times

11. Neither AOL or the GOP are good at what they do?

Do I get a prize?

12. It's an obedience thing. AOL has always been over-priced, over-restrictive,

and under-performing. They've convinced millions of obedient sheep to pay them for what they can have for free since their inception.

It is a truism in business that underpricing will lower the numbers of consumers drawn to your business. It makes no sense, but it is true. Republiks are far more likely to be obedient servants of authority than Democrats, although there are plenty of Democrats that fall into that category as well.
