(Don't!)Freep this Poll! (How is the shutdown of the federal government affecting you?)

How is the shutdown of the federal government affecting you?

Maximum disruption: I am a government employee who is unable to work or get paid during the shutdown.

Minimal disruption: I am a government employee who works in a department that won't be closed due to the shutdown.

Not immediately or directly, but I am very troubled that Congress was unable to reach an agreement.

Thanks to Bon of Babble for pointing out this one!
Check the wording of this propaganda poll by AOL.
No need to freep it, unless you are a gov't employee, I guess. LOL

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. (multiple votes using multiple internetz devices are allowed!) And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

I tried to check the box titled:

Not immediately or directly, but I am very troubled that AOL thinks I should be troubled about it.

Couldn't find it.

How about, “Not at all. In fact if Obama wouldn’t take 4 or more vacations a year you’d have more than enough funds to pay the federal employees wages without missin a beat plus give them all a raise”.

This has been the FIRST time in my life where something a president did that PERSONALLY affected me.
I go out for a walk every day of my life to Fort Funston, a defunct area of open land right near the ocean, but a couple of hundred feet high. It's USUALLY populated by hand gliders and dog walkers.

It USED to be owned and run by the state; then it became federal property. Today, for the FIRST TIME EVER, it was closed. There went my walk in one of the most beautiful spots on God's good earh.

There’s no option for “I think this poll sucks”

The truth is even the Democrat voters see the writing on the wall and don’t want Obamacare. Even they sense its a Pandora’s Box with lots of hidden “goodies” that have nothing to do with healthcare and are more about setting in place measures that will be used exert control over the masses in future. Also done so in a deceptive manner by hiding all those goodies among thousands of pages of legislation.

I am highly affected by the government shutdown.

I think I'll fix a special victory dinner tonight.

I love this sort of blatant propaganda. The choices:

Maximum disruption: I am a government employee who is unable to work or get paid during the shutdown.

Minimal disruption: I am a government employee who works in a department that won't be closed due to the shutdown.

Not immediately or directly, but I am very troubled that Congress was unable to reach an agreement.

And what if, oh, I don't know, you really don't give a ripe rodent's rectum? No choices for you!

Shut down?

What shut down?

We can close the entire thing and it’d be fine with me. Less trouble for them to make for us.

They forgot to put an optional answer:

“I am not affected by it, but I am extremely pleased with the Republicans to standing up to the bullies on the Left and I have been praying for a shutdown to end Obamacare.”

If they had that answer I think it would've gotten 98% of the votes.

The dems are stonewalling because they know that once the bricks start being pulled out piece by piece, it will fall. They are stupid enough to think its not going to fall on its on and wrongly assume normal America will eventually give in.

This is what the libs have been after for a hundred years and now nobama, peelousi and dingyharry have accomplished what Wilson, FDR and klintoon could not do. They may fight until one of them ends up in a last Mussolini pose.

Pick the last one...

“Not immediately or directly, but I am very troubled that Congress was unable to reach an agreement.”

It’s going strong at 91%!
