RNC Propaganda Survey
How funny that a bleeding liberal like myself gets a questionaire from the Republican National Committee. Are they stupid? They want me to contribute to their cause so they can mail even more surveys to "registered Republicans." Ha, I'm glad to know they wasted some of their precious money on me. They're even asking me to contribute $11 to pay for the cost of tabulating my survey. Not in a million years would I even give them a penny.
Never-the-less, I was curious of the questions they were asking. They are so vague, I couldn't even begin to answer most of them. Here's a sampling:
1. Should Congress focus on cutting the federal budget deficit by reducing wasteful government spending?
Duh, of course they should. But I bet the Republican party has entirely different opinions on what I consider "wasteful." I think Iraq is wasteful... hell, get out of Iraq and the deficit will take care of itself. But you know the Republicans won't go for that. They'd rather cut funding to education, Planned Parenthood and wellfare programs.
2. Do you agree that teaching our children to read and increasing literacy rates should be a national priority?
Um, duh again. And do they really think teachers don't feel that way? How about the Republicans put to action their own preachings by properly funding education. That would be an amazing start, but then again, that would be in direct conflict with question 1 above.
3. Do you think Congress should pass legislation on the Federal Marriage Ammendment?
Yeah, I do, but the Federal Marriage Ammendment isn't the ammendment I want passed. I want the Constitution to be upheld, I want discrimination to be illegal... oh wait, it already is. Ah, that's what the Federal Marriage Ammendment is about. They want to legalize discrimination... and even worse, for religious reasons. The Federal Marriage Ammendment should be to protect the rights of all citiznes, regardless of sexual orientation, and ensure everyone the protections and rights that marriage offers.
There are over 15 questions in all, most of them as ridiculous as the ones above. Some are cut and dry, and there, I can give an answer I know they can't skew. To the casual party member, the questions sound reasonable. But they are so vague most won't really know the causes they are supporting by answering yes to those questions. This is one of the worst propaganda, money generating schemes I've seen... and is it really any surprise it's from the RNC?
