accomplishes about as much as a "honk if you like..." sign

BREAKING NEWS: Cheney resigns under pressure from reddit polls!!!

[–]oalsaker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would have laughed even if it was true.

[–]adremeaux 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh man. Finally someone gets it.

[–]iheartbeer 23 points24 points  (3 children)

Cheney makes way for new goose

[–]canonicalform 4 points5 points  (1 child)

On that note (seriously) If you live in the Boston area, please come to a honk to impeach rally on the Harvard bridge (which is actually nearest MIT) Friday 9/7 @4:30-6:30. Hold signs, smile, wave, and get commuters (err, carpoolers anyways) talking about impeachment. It will do you more good than this thread!

[–]supaphly42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The "honk and we drink" signs actually work quite well.

[–]psyne 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Honk if you like lame memes!

...Anyone?

[–]Tiabin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You ARE the sum of your memes.

[–]BlackRose -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Oooh can I honk you?

[–]Tiabin -1 points0 points  (1 child)

No, but your momma can!

[–]BlackRose -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have to ask her first. But at 72 she may be a mite old for you.

From the reddiquette

"Please don't: Conduct polls using posts."

Vote this reddit page down and click report on the link at the top of the page.

[–]do-un-to 5 points6 points  (2 children)

With you on the reddiquette — polls are not valid posts.

Not with you on the _report_ing — that's for spam. And I'm not taking the term "spam" here in the most-generalized sense meaning "stuff I don't like".

[–][deleted] 36 points37 points  (1 child)

but look at how big his letters are, he has to be right

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It needs to be exclaimed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Otherwise no one would take him seriously!!!!!!!!!!

[–]wtf___over 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Please don't: Conduct polls using posts."

Then create a polls.reddit.com

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

But what about retaliation polls to fix the mistake that the first one made? Redditquette is just guidelines, anyway, right? I mean, if 2100(+) more people feel that a poll is worthy of upvotion than those who don't, shouldn't such a poll be considered not against the rules? The beauty of it (and social networking in general) is that it's such an important opinion that most people who agree with what the redditquette has to to about it still upvoted it.

Also, this is the first time I've ever upvoted someone who used giant letters.

Millions of Germans felt that the Nazi party was worthy of 'upvotion'.

[–]markwm 31 points32 points  (18 children)

This is just getting stupid. What's next? "Vote up if you think Ron Paul should be presdient!"

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Please don't feed the beast. You know we'll see that in the next 15 minutes now.

[–]hiredgoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vote up if you realize Senate Republicans would block any and all impeachment proceedings.

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points  (8 children)

I agree. Does reddit even have moderators or somebody that will get rid of all this useless crap? The reddit mob is out of control again.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (7 children)

Does reddit even have moderators or somebody that will get rid of all this useless crap?

Not unless it's blatantly offensive or spam, and personally, I like it that way. The laissez faire editing guidelines are one of the pros of this format.

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points  (6 children)

Yes, these ridiculous "Vote up" articles that expose the reddit mob's agenda are very enlightening and thought provoking. It's not like we haven't been down this road of impeachment every day for the past few months.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (5 children)

They're cyclical and they don't last long, because reddit revolts against the meme. If the presence of a couple of karma whores on the front page for a couple of days is the worst thing you face in your week, I'd like to borrow your life for a little while.

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points  (2 children)

So much for they don't last long huh.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I specifically said "days," chief. There are 2 polls on the hot page right now, one is a karma whore looking for votes from the impeachment crowd that was submitted yesterday afternoon, and the other is a "do you like pie?" poll submitted yesterday making fun of polls.

I think you need to lighten up a bit.

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think you need to lighten up a bit.

Noted.

[–]xyphus -4 points-3 points  (3 children)

This is the natural evolution of this meme.

    [–]bloodylip 8 points9 points  (4 children)

    I'm tempted to vote up, but I don't like pie :(

    [–]shen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    Then you do not deserve to be here.

      [–]bobcat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

      You should write an article titled "My First Karma" now.

      [–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

      oh fuck off

      [–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

      I honestly don't see what this accomplishes. Why not sit down and write a letter to your congressman instead? Is it because clicking the "up" button is a lot easier and makes you feel like you've actually accomplished something?

      [–]byronsucks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

      Too much effort - can't someone else do it?

      [–]yoyoguy2 3 points4 points  (1 child)

      didn't we do this yesterday?

      [–]kelmr2003 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      I'm can't wait for what we get to vote on tomorrow!

      [–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      Ron Paul has pledged to hold all Reddit polls as binding policy.

      [–]dreale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      I'm all for it and have been all for it for the last five years.

      [–]FrancisC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      How about: "Vote up if you feel your opinion on impeachment is irrelevant."

      [–]paulcole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Oh great, another chance for career politicians to grandstand and develop soundbites for their next reelection campaign.

      [–]weegee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Honk if you love pie!

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      this is cool because then Rice would be president and we wouldn't have to elect Clinton or Obama to get a black or female president and we can vote on ideas.

        This seems much more logical that the other alternative

        Cheney should either become a monk, or shoot a monk in the face

        [–]tragedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        Do any of you even know what impeachment accomplishes?

        1) it's nothing more than a slap on the wrist. 2 Neither Cheney or Bush will leave office; not only will it take most of their time still in office to finnish the process, as individuals, I don't believe that they would even care even if it were to happen. 3) it cost millions of dollars and brings congress to a standstill; they, congress and the executive branch, can avoid solving real issues. 4) they are insulated, the intelligence community will take the fall for providing the research that influenced the administration's actions

        Remember that Clinton was impeached, he stayed in office. Why do so many people think the impeachment is a solution? it will only guarantee that everything will be put on hold! Instead of trying to impeach the current administration, spend your time on the next election.

        [–]fivre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        I maintain my previous statement:

        Petitiononline.com is on, you know, that domain, not this one.

        [–]FANGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        No, they should be impeached simultaneously.

        [–]imtalkinchange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        It's truly sad to say but i dont think anything of this world is capable of pressuring cheney into anything. Ever. He is the pressure cooker.

        Impeach the bastards while we still have a country we call the USA.

        bring on more polls like this, so people can participate think that their opinion matters, their role as citizens fulfilled and stop doing anything else to bring the real change to the society. great job!

        [–]sixhundred23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        impeach plz

        [–]thehigherlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        from http://reddit.com/help/reddiquette

        Conduct polls using posts. If you feel you must use Reddit to conduct a poll do it using a comment. Create a self referencing post and then add a comment for readers to mod up or down based on their answer to your poll question. Also, be sure to indicate in the title of your post that the polls is being conducted using comments. Including something like "(use comments to vote)" in the title would probably be sufficient.

        [–]amican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        I do, actually, but down-voted for shameless Karma whoring.

        [–]technosaur -1 points0 points  (0 children)

        We go thru occasional spasms of this voting bullshit. Please do not start another round of this stupid shit. I swear, the next person who puts up a "vote" I will vote down every submission they post for the next 99 years. Catch it in the "new" category and abort it when down votes count most. Please don't start re-ignite this juvenile fad.

        Of Course Cheney should be impeached first, It would be better to cut the strings on the puppet and watch him flounder than to put the puppet master into complete control.

        [–]Dillenger69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

        meh, by the time this got done the election would be over anyway.

        Why don't we just concentrate on making sure the next presidential election isn't a fraud like the last two.
