I got the latest RNC push-poll yesterday via my friends at the Washington Times. Although they don’t come right out and ask if you hate America, they might as well. The questions are classic push-poll fodder and give us yet another glimpse at how the Republicans shape the national dialog and spread fear, misconceptions and out-right lies.
My favorite one is “Should education reform focus on empowering parents instead of federal bureaucrats?”
Gee, guys, I just don’t know…
Here’s full questionnaire (with some fun, snarky commentary, of course.)
SURVEY ON AMERICA’S FUTURE
1. Please select the answer below that most accurately reflects your view on each question. If you are unsure about a question, skip it and go to the next one.
2. Upon completion of your Survey, hit SUBMIT and your Survey will be tabulated.
3. Before logging out please take a moment to make a generous online gift to help our Party move forward and support conservative candidates for the House and Senate who will go toe-to-toe with the Obama left-wing money machine and win on Election Day.
4. Everyone’s Survey answers will be tabulated. Those who donate may see Survey results in real time following their contribution.
Your answers represent the views of thousands of other Republicans living in your area. And your active membership in the new RNC will help us fight the Obama Democrats now and recruit and train new Republican candidates nationwide in 2010.
