Political surrogates using Yahoo Answers to openly campaign and smear?

Is this allowed on Yahoo! Answers? I've noticed a lot of Clinton surrogates on here doing both.

Update:

When the avatar says "Hillary For President", you have to assume they're for Hillary!

Update 2:

The principle of this forum is that it is for people with questions looking for answers. Not a soap box.

It would be the same if I was advertising some product on this forum. People do it sometimes and those posts get taken down fairly quickly because it's against the rules.

    I have reported several outright lies about Obama, but I don't know what Yahoo has done about it. We can probably expect it to get worse.

    Yes ,they're welcome to campaign for this family...who is bound to fail ,the surrogates forget that the Clinton administration failed to take action and as a result over 3000 of our family's were murdered on 9/11 and years later nearly 4000 more paid the highest sacrifice and thousands more are mimed because of their " Washington experience"

    I don't think Clinton supporters are the ones on here the most. One day I counted the campaign questions on the Elections forum and trust me Hillary did not win. There was another candidate who won it by a landslide.

    I first came on looking for answers for something I was going through. Then I got to know a bunch of people and am able to talk to these people and have a good time answering questions. I've met some great people here, that includes you, Honey. :)

    that is one of the best things about America, freedom of speech is still allowed and they are entitled to their opinions.

    from what i have observed here, the most vocal are the Ron Paul supporters. he seems to evoke very loyal feelings from them.

    for me, it is still too soon to decide who will get my vote as too much can happen before November and all the candidates are really too flawed for my vote.

    Haha...Clinton people?

    I think you mean Ron Paul. I'd say Obama and Hillary people are on the same level.

    Clinton people? Yeah I suppose so. But the real nags are the Ron Paul people. UGH!

    How would you know? You just assume that because you see something positive towards Clinton?

    I'm so sick of all the negativity towards Clinton...
