On yahoo.com main page, about midway down on the right side. Do you support Obama's plan to curb gun violence?

- No, there aren't enough restirctions;
- No, there are too many restrictions.

Results @ 0207:
33% YES;
8% WE NEED MORE THAN THE PROPOSED RESTRICTIONS;
59% NO.

Total of 441,076 votes so far. :thumbs2:

Do you support Obama's plan to curb gun violence?
I didn't see one

I mean I didn't see any plan to curb gun violence, such as eliminating defenseless victim zones ... I only saw a plan to institute gun control, which has never curbed gun violence ... so ... I didn't see any plan to curb gun violence by Obama

One thing hasn't changed: The agenda includes mostly measures that will have little or no effect on the problems they are supposed to address. They are Potemkin remedies -- presentable faàades with empty space behind them.

This is something that supporters as well as opponents labor to conceal. Treating them as serious allows them both to posture for their own advantage.

I think the URL posted, takes your vote (or the vote of the OP) and records it.
When I clicked the link, it also said thanks for your vote, when I had not voted

The link is just a captured pic of the OPs vote. You need to go to yahoo.com main page to vote.

Got my "NO" vote in there...even on a left-of-center-leaning site like Yahoo, the voting is running about 59% as "No, too many restrictions", with 32% saying "Yes, just right" and a mere 8% saying "No, not enough"...ha ha ha!

The only poll I saw there was something about a hoaxing having a girlfriend or something.
I am not a lawyer, nor have I played one on TV, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, nor should anything I say be taken as legal advice. If it is important that any information be accurate, do not use me as the only source.

I just checked and it's now "Will you watch Monday's inaugural ceremony?"...with a large majority answering in the negative and stating that it's not interesting. I, happily, am part of that majority. :biggrinjester:

That would be my guess. I'm just surprised they didn't fudge the numbers.
