Some of you asking loaded ‘non-questions’ can’t spell and use grammar that suggests you’re still in the ninth grade. And yet, you’ve managed to learn to use the same tactics as Joseph McCarthy quite well. Your blanket statements, stereotyping large groups of Americans, thinly disguised as mock questions, was one of Tail-Gunner Joe’s trademarks.
So, you flunked English in school but have excelled at agenda propaganda? Who teaches you?

Good observation, and right on target!
Genuine, honest-to-goodness, straight-from-the-source Republican talking points "inform" many of these non questions.
We all have to make a living somehow, but would you believe these partisan Joes also manipulate voting for "best answers"?

The good (and bad) thing about a forum like this is that everyone gets equal access to the podium.
There are no prerequisites insofar as civility, education, reasoning or spelling ability.
We all get a raw, unfiltered look at a slice of the world (or at least the on-line world). Maybe some of us would prefer that the riff-raff be booted so we don't have to put up with their childishness. But if it's the real world you want to experience, welcome to it - here on YA.
Remember, we encounter these same losers every day in real life. They give us the finger on the highway, can't hold an intelligible conversation, haven't read anything (but the sports page or National Enquirer) in 20 years, watch TV for 6 hours a day and usually don't vote. But they love to complain about how they're being victimized. It's usually someone else's fault that their life sucks!
So, why wouldn't you expect to encounter them here?

Its hard to bust people for the spelling and grammar because in today's electronic world, those quaint hallmarks of education are downplayed for the sake of speed. At least we are fortunate on Answers that a lot of the "text generation" shortcuts aren't being used, "gr8" can get on anyone's nerves who actually still places a value on these their ability to communicate.
Come November I'm guessing we'll see the propagandists fade away, except for the victory dance by some of the winners, and complaints of foul play by the losers, but eventually they will go.

If these people are paid to post these kinds of "questions" I would actually suspect they are paid by the "other side." What better way to make the democrats look like idiots than to have some one post a rediculous "question" about why neo-cons shoot kittens? What better way to make republicans look like hate-mongers than to have someone ask why most liberals are transvestites?
So, whether those posters are pretending or are sincere, they deserve to be ignored!

I admit I never did grasp grammar.And am very thankful to spell check.Still those skills do not measure the intellect.
