Gah! Why oh why did I pick up the phone?
Stinking push polls.

Do you consider yourself pro-life?

Do you believe marriage should be between a man and a woman only?

Do you agree with our efforts in Iraq?

Would you like your taxes to go down?

Do you ever contribute to a political party?

Do you go to church regularly?

Do you believe a tax credit should be given to parents to allow them to pick their own schools?

:puke:
:puke:
:puke:

Notice they never got around to:

Do you think Bush is a fucking liar?
Do you believe we should protect the environment?
Do you believe we should put more money into alternative energy?
Do you believe all people should be protected from discrimination including gays?

Edited on Sun Aug-22-04 03:52 PM by SheepyMcSheepster
questions were very broad based and lacked detail that topics like these should include, definetly a push poll.

2. Not to worry, your answers probably won't be counted.
Assuming that you answered the way I think you did.

3. Did you catch who was administering this poll?
They aren't interested in your answers, only in planting lies in the minds of potential voters.

4. I got the same one yesterday.
I answered NO to every question. I did it in a nasty tone of voice, too, then realized it was automated.

Stupid poll.

(Well, I did answer yes to the one about Church just to throw them a monkey wrench - tee-hee!)

8. We think alike, I also answered no to all the questions except
about Church. It asked if I attend EVERY week. Well once a month or so should be close enough. If they do listen to the answers the tone of my voice should tell them a lot.

6. Next time you get one of these...
...just answer "No, Bush is a liar and a fraud" to every question, or "Yes, Bush is a liar and a fraud" as appropriate...
