| Do you consider yourself a 'sheep'... ...politically? Point is, that when you vote, it is private. So, even if you go along to get along in public, you still have the privacy to vote as you see fit.

And I will say that I can converse about politics (which I know little about), but I become silent when the discussions, debates and emotional tyrades kick in. I just start pinching heads with my forefinger and thumb.

| Nobody ever thinks they are a sheep. Just like nobody ever thinks they are stupid, or immoral, or anything else. So this is a pointless poll.

| How about make a poll that asks if you automatically assume everyone who voted differently than you are sheep.

![]() There are plenty of people who understand Barack Obama's agenda and are all for it. And out of those people, there are even some who realize how it will negatively affect them personally, and are STILL all for it. But the vast majority of both Democrats AND Republicans are sheep who vote for whoever the media or their favorite celebrity tells them to.

| How about you stop thinking you can read my mind and just answer the question? I made NO distinction or reference to any party, any belief nor did I exclude myself as some sort of reference point for the only CORRECT ideas.
