Republicon "survey" fell into my mailbox yesterday - priceless comedy

Mrs. Corkhead and myself live in Michigan and voted in the Republicon primary in 2012 so we are on the mailing list for this kind of stuff now. I am supposed to be working so I don't have time to add any commentary other than to say I find this quite an amusing tool for them to herd their sheep. Enjoy!

You saw the Groundswell memos? Conservatives can only comprehend things on a 4th grade level!

Because they have serial numbers on it, it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation as far as filling it out goes.

I might just tape their postage paid envelope to a brick and send it back to them.

You could email the scanned copy around and we could all take turns writing shitting answers. Maybe we could even find some monopoly money to send back with them as a donation.

...or as much of it as I could between bouts of laughter.

In the exercise of 'push polling', no one beats the RNC. They're obviously not interested an asking legitimate questions, or of learning the answers to any legitimate questons, but more interested in masquerading their propoganda as *research*. I sense the mind of The Master, Karl Rove, in this example.

Eventually, the RNC will compile the results of this *survey*, come to the inevitable conclusion that what they're doing is just fine, and redouble their efforts along the existing lines.

And then they'll wonder why they lose the House in the 2014 mid-terms.

Republican delusions - a bubble of fantastic beliefs that they think is reality, and which they allow no actual conflicting reality to enter.

They order you not to destroy this and if you don't want to fill it out you must send it back with a contribution.
