be they a volunteer OR conscript, in an attempt to bolster the credibility of An American President, for any reason whatsoever?

after all, the following people are all American citizens - George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Rush Limbaugh, Sam Brownback, Ted Nugent ...

It's a dangerous job, but I say it is worth the risk. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country, or some such.

The questions of the kind "push polling",
They want you to consent to something left unsaid, so you can answer the question.

I think push polling sucks. It frames the debate by subterfuge. Always despicable, but sometimes subterfuge of a singularly noxious kind.

The noxious element here is the notion that this question has some pertinence to the current situation and to contemporary american politics and, in particular, the character of Pres. Obama. That's a singularly noxious bit of propaganda to be throwing around.

is lacking in basic human decency.

Oh, you say, human decency? Big deal, human decency is so old school.

Well, if you want to see a little preview of a world without human decency just take a look at the 20th Century Third Reich. People hate it when you point out the Third Reich. That is because it serves as such a perfect illustration of a nation that no longer cares about the lesser people, the people without power, the useless eaters.

Wake the fuck up, people!
