Help with Healthcare Poll
In the Baltimore Sun, with absolutely no control over the number of votes - obviously hit by the other side. Now I was not crazy about the Democratic Party's Healthcare reform bill, but better than nothing and certainly better than the Republican alternatives. Currently in a blue city newspaper the vote results are 72% yes and 24% no.

GOP health care ideas

Do Republicans in Congress have better ideas for health care reform than the program put in place by Democrats last year?

* Yes
* No
* Not sure

I cannot imagine the Baltimore, Maryland area contains THAT many morans.

3. done. I cannot believe that 71% believe the repukes have a better idea.

12. "Un-scientific" polls are just a tool
for the corporate press to convince the uninformed that the untruth is true. That is the only reason to participate in this nonsense. Poll numbers have greatly improved.

17. I'm a Baltimore Sun Subscriber
I only get it on weekdays now, it historically it's a fairly liberal paper. It's really thin now & obviously close to failing. I only read once a week to keep up on local Baltimore issues. I've noticed every weekend they have a reader poll with a teaparty level response. Too many really nutsy reader letters too. I suspect that the majority of people left reading this paper are over 70 Rushbo listeners with too much time on their hands.

23. You are coincidentally my 1000th response on DU
I noticed I wasat 999. I have been on DU for many years, just not that big on commenting, took a long time to reach 1000.

We get the Sun everyday, it has been going downhill like all major newspapers. I have noticed the polls are really slanted and they publish the crazy letters all the time as though they were rational. All the teabaggers complain about the Sun being "Liberal" and don't subscribe - or claim not to.

(Results not scientific) - NO KIDDING. Results are actually fraudulent and results of these polls are posted in the Sun, always heavily slanted to the right wing position. Thanks for turning this around.

24. I don't know the final results
at least until they publish it the paper. I did actually vote the wrong way on the next poll regarding actions by Gov. Martin O'Malley just out of habit, by that point.
