Forum topics like "Rush vote for Ron Paul" is really irritating, for titles like that get me really excited and hopeful and then I learn there is a "catch" to the healine. Please leave it to the corporate elite to cover up substance with flashy rhetorical phrases.

Deceptive headlines NOT funny!

Do we want to lose credibility?

I am playing beat the clock on lunch hour and don't have time to do a bunch of research. I was all excited seeing the threads about how many states RP was supposedly leading in. Then in comments I found out ALL of the threads were bogus.

I was ready to rush back wo work and tell coworkers this info.

Would've been real funny, huh? Make RP supporters look like idiots?

This is not a game, people.

When you see a quote look at the end to see if there is a "?" mark at the end. That will give you a warning that the heading is not a statement but a question. Its just so hard in here to get anyone to respond to your post unless its eye catching.

Sorry

I do agree with you

Like the one claiming Ron Paul is winning 16 states when 2 said states aren't even voting today. Another about Ron Paul winning Alaska (this one was updated to specify it's not actual votes but yahoo buzz) and a few others which are very misleading. The Misleading and outright Lies in the Topic Titles really ought to STOP NOW. It's frustrating the Hell out of me and I'm sure many others too.
