GOP.com "survey" !!!
Check this out...I found it on a wingnut site and tried to get to the original at gop.com, but they wanted all kinds of information about me that I'm not thrilled to give.

https://www.gop.com/Secure/Signup.aspx?sr=suweb

But look closely at these questions. They coordinate well with Elizabeth Dole's DANGER message and other current right-wing talk.

But this is hilarious! LOOK:

1. Those people are delusional. How can they think that what that crazy
man and the neocons have done to this country is a good thing? And this tax cut thing, do they not understand where the deficit is coming from.

Apparently for most of these people the answer to No. 8 is yesterday.

2. The amount of FEAR contained in the survey is what
is really delusional. It has worked in the past, but this is really over the top! :rofl:

30. It's amazing how they have convinced themselves
that we actually take in more money if we cut taxes(?!) That's only a theory people! and one that has not worked in the past and is not working now. You just need to look at the deficit to figure this out. They even have "statistics" to back up their theory that revenue is up but they never tell you any specifics. If you told me that even with the tax cuts, revenues last year were up from 2000 or 2001, then I would believe you, but that doesn't mention the fact that millions more people are paying taxes now and that millions more people had stock losses that year. Also, they never say revenue from income taxes are up. What other taxes/fees etc. have been covertly raised? I have never seen so many people latch onto something so contrary to common sense and preach it like it is gospel.

20. You can just make up name, address, e-mail - no verification
But these questions are absolutely ridiculous. There's not even a pretense at trying to get honest opinionsl - the only options you can choose are RW, fundie, neocon options - and you can't really even choose the lesser of all the evils.

I'm just waiting for the Time and Newsweek headlines from after the 2008 election: Thank god it's over.

11. If you're going to "play" don't go from DU, instead make it even MORE
"fun" by copying the GOP link in the OP then go to a site that will make their heads spin when they check where someone is coming from or goes to after and paste in the GOP url and then go there. :evilgrin:

For instance... go to a porn or Satanist site, paste the copied url in the browser window and go.. when you leave go to a super fundie site.. or visa versa. :D Oh and use a type of web condom (aka: an anonymizer) or scrub your hard drive afterwards so you don't get cooties. ;)

12. The lack of education evidenced by the choices
is really amazing - they know their base is poorly educated.


This country is really in long term trouble if 50% of the populace is that poorly educated.

16. bobdole@viagra.net
Listed their platform for the last election (since people finally have figured it out).

Bob went on to list Bush's agenda for America, since * is now hated so much, worried about Democrats selling out America's values and turning the gov't over to Hollywood liberals, would recommend 0, gets his news from Fox and Other (Freeperland), would like to see on GOP.com - Other (Bill Clinton's sex), couldn't remember what year he was born, thinks he voted in 2004, and shared the following comments:
Round up all terroristic communistic evil Democrats, and send them to slave camps.
President Bush must purge Congress of all Democrats, and send them to Gitmo.

Yea!!! Go GOP!!! Rah! Rah! Rah!

21. Bob doesn't like being a skunk at a lawn party.
Hopefully the rethugs will take it seriously, and really piss off the American people.

19. Had to laugh...........
at the bit about Pelosi, Reid and Dean's extreme left wing agenda. I wonder how they'd characterize a real "extreme left" agenda.

27. That's not a survey
It's propaganda. Every single thing on it is designed to push the buttons of one or another of their "target market segments."

28. Yeah, more like a push poll--
If I told you that candidate X was a (murderer, drug addict, pornographer, etc... whether true or not) would it affect the way you voted in the upcoming election?

29. I took that survey
because they kept e-mailing it to me and I thought if I took it, maybe they would stop! Anyway, the last question: where do you get your news? I put other: Democratic Underground. I bet they loved that.
