Why do politicians use Yahoo Answers for political gains?

Question

I'm tired of seeing politicians on Yahoo Answers asking questions that they know are of interest to voters. This is insulting. Hillary Clinton has no interest in answering people's questions, and almost certaintly isn't interested in solving the problems with the ecosystem, for any other reason than to be in the spotlight. What BS. She's asking the internet how to solve the energy crisis? Shouldn't she be talking with the real movers and shakers of this world and getting them to give answers? Shouldn't she be coming up with the answers herself?
Shoot, I doubt she even typed the question. Probably had one of her political advisors do it for her. She won't have my vote in any election. What do you think?

Answer 1

You have to understand that this is not the proper media outlet to get any real points across to others .
This is entertainment and a way to pass the time when you have lots of it to pass .
SO fret not that any politician is wasting time on answers .
I have not seen it mentioned on the evening news yet . That is a yahoo question and answer .

Answer 2

there are a lot of bright young people and oldsters as well, who are just not shure who to beleive. When Bill and Hilliary left the white house, the news media had a story about items from the white house went when they moved out. If their going to pillage the white house, upon moving, what are they going to do next.
Look at the embarresement for the United States over the Democrats whining about a fair election to Bush. Even some republicans have turned around and put their backs to us.

Always count on We The People getting the shaft again.

Answer 3

maybe she's trying to tap a vast well of ideas and this is a place to start. I doubt she realizes how many dry holes there are though. She's way smarter than ol' hillBilly is so she may just pull this off. If she puts legalization on her platform and finds a way to get the stoners out before 420 then she'll win hands down.

Answer 4

get real - Y!A is a joke meant only to entertain! nothing of substance comes out of this charade. once in a while - a great while - a good answer comes out and no doubt some lackie sees it and passes it on to the "proper" person to use & claim as their own.

just know the difference between the real & the not real. by all means be entertained!! lol!!

Answer 5

i desire the terrific social gathering wins yet right this moment, pondering each and all of the financial and risk-free practices mess we are in, BJP is the lifeline. have faith me, companies are pulling out of india because of the fact of loss of government's will to fulfill the stressful circumstances head on. whilst nuclear deal grow to be the only constructive in the final 5 years, different judgements have been utmost ridiculous. My vote is going for BJP which has a sturdy imaginative and prescient and maximum heavily it follows gandhian socialism as one in all its center concepts. Its the regulations that count and regulations make certain whether you have a sturdy and a unified us of a or a vulnerable one. i'm no longer a sort of innocently dumb indians to fall for pseudo secularism which congress performs with.

Answer 6

Any credibility she may have had left went away when she posted paid advertisements on the politics section of YA!

Answer 7

I have yet to see a professional politician on Y!/A.

If what you mean is: it is inappropriate to use any public figure as your avatar, then I would agree.

Answer 8

There are 1,000s of other questions more lame. "How do I know I'm pregnant?!" "LIEBERALS are loosers?!" "Who is the President of the U.S.?"

Seriously, so what if there are questions. It is about the same as people calling to take polls.

Answer 9

Just as right wingers use Faux News to push their agenda.

Answer 10

they are all out for the own ends waste of time if you ask me
