I would not be surprised but not just limited to YA, the media has been taken over by both parties/Big Business and now they are trying to get their influence on the web which is a lot harder than they imagined. This works from both sides and are basically on the same agenda, just different color.

No, they are volunteers.
There are a couple of groups (or individuals with several accounts) that tend to blast the same tired krap, usually within seconds of one another. Could be "sharing" but probably not. Their avatars often pop up in the same order on several questions in succession. Due to the timing involved it is most likely a group with the same daily schedule (like at a school, seminar or employer) or they are in fact just a couple of individuals violating the point gaming rules and other rules of conduct. No surprises there.
There seemed to be a couple of paid GOP employees on the site last year, they were evident by their instant lengthy party-line answers to questions, but they seem to have moved on to other sites.
The obviously juvenile majority of responders on YA has probably been deemed as not being worth th trouble considering that the GOP is in really deep at this time.

some info approximately Bachmann. She continuously contends that worldwide warming is a hoax. Bachmann voted against the school fee relief and get right of entry to Act; she brazenly general bigger costs of activity and advertisement creditors somewhat than decrease activity government-run direct lending. She needs to decrease all government investment for planned Parenthood. Bachmann opposes minimum salary will boost. Bachmann has stated as for phasing out of Social risk-free practices and Medicare. Electing Bachmann may well be the nail interior the coffin for the U. S. high quality of existence. Her 'each and every guy for them-self' philosophies might bring about a great bigger hollow between the wealthy and the undesirable; whilst shrinking the already threatened center-type. All this from somebody who achieved her bachelors diploma from Winona State college and her regulation diploma from Oral Roberts college (based by way of evangelist Oral Roberts in 1963). Bachmann isn't any blue-blood elitist, yet someway has distanced herself from looking after the consumer-friendly guy.

HUH? I DON'T THINK SO!!!!!
You have a bunch of Ron Paul supporters, but he's NOT a republican. He's a Libertarian that put an "R" next to his name.
You have a bunch of liberals that keep screaming about how Jorge Bush should be strung up and shot.
Yes, there are some Conservatives here. We are free thinking and intelligent. The closest I am to being a "paid party employee" is that my daughter used to work for a GOP House member.

Do you really think anyone would change the way they'd vote based on something they read on Yahoo Answers?
Political parties definitely engage in shady tactics, but they only invest effort in places where they think they can sway voters' opinions.

If so where do I collect my paycheck? Sorry, doubtful, just a bunch of folks with some time to express their opinions. For free I am afraid. Some of us have odd hobbies. This is mine.
Beside's the Bush bashers out write US. I guess they have more time on their hands. NO matter we are all free to make up our own minds, no influence required.
Thank you.

In one shot you are hitting at two. Probably you should have spared the Forum which is giving you an outlet for expressing yourself.

No, that would be the Democrats via George Soros, Norman Hsu, Billary Inc., MoveOn.org, the Daily KOS, etc...
Conservatives have the ability to act out of their own free will. They don't need to be told what to think, or directed how to act. That's how you can tell the difference.

It wouldn't surprise me. Those guys will stop at nothing, they truly have no shame.
But I doubt it would be worth it to them. They spend millions of dollars to influence the major media, but I don't think they'd bother with something as small as Yahoo Answers.
