No, really. You MUST go read Bill Frist’s online “poll” of the VOLPAC constituency. My personal favorite is number 8:

Which of the following accomplishments do you feel is President Bush’s greatest achievement?

Oh Doctor Frist! You mean I have to pick just one?

Hat tip, which means where I met it, not where it was born or conceived, folks: House of the Rising Sons, who points out just how important the issue of, well, “teh Mexicans” is to Frist and company. Darn it, I was going to write-in “speaking a couple words of Spanish” as one of President Bush’s greatest achievements.

Today, I ask that you complete this confidential 2008 Republican Leadership Survey. I intend to share the results with key members of the Republican Leadership in the Congress and the candidates VOLPAC supports in the months ahead.

Our team has tried to make this survey unique. From the answers we gather we will send a followup survey to you with 5-6 more detailed questions.

Please take a moment now to complete this survey. Your personal information will be kept confidential and your answers aggregated with other Republicans and forwarded onto key Republican Leadership. I will share the results with you a week from today.
