(37,549 posts)I use it as a generic term meaning, help skew the results to our side. I've seen the term used plenty of times referring to a poll on a major news site rather than on FR.

Sheriff Joe has power and is fucking up thousands of people.
The bigger clown? Who cares? The one with power is ultimately the one to worry about.

- Live in a different century
- Believe the right to bear arms is the only right
- Hate immigrants
- Hate anybody that's not a white male
- Both believe in the power of an armed posse
- Both will not hesitate to shoot first and ask questions later
They're really kindred spirits when you think about it.
