I got a survey from Dennis Hastert. What should I do with it?
ASK AMERICA POLICY SURVEY

Some of the questions:

- Do you support p. bush in his efforts to wipe out terrorism worldwide EVEN IF THIS WAR GOES ON FOR MANY YEARS?

- Do you think American troops should pursue terrorists and their leaders even if it means GOING INTO COUNTRIES WHERE WE ARE NOT INVITED?

- Do you agree that a top priority should be making p. bush's 1.3 trillion dollar tax cut PERMANENT?

- Does the national news media accurately report the news WITHOUT LIBERAL BIAS?

and on and on and on. CAPS are mine. I get crap like this often because a "good buddy" of mine who knows my politics thought it would be cool to sign me up with the gop. Argh, argh. Actually we are good buddies and when you think about it, its not only funny but sometimes useful. I think I'll see if I can help Denny out with his survey.

1. I think you are right,
you should truthfully respond, and send it back.
Maybe you won't be the only one :)

4. Exactly what I'd do.
He wants your opinion? Let him have it.

3. Fill it out and send it back!
During the Ray-gun years we'd get polls from our repuke senators, and I'd always fill them in. In fact, for every question that asked 'what's the biggest problem this country faces?' I'd write in 'Ronald Reagan.

Also feel free to cross out and add your own stuff - like "Does the national news media accurately report the news WITHOUT CONSERVATIVE BIAS?"

6. Put it in a box with something really heavy
and send it back...that's assuming return postage is paid.

7. I'm assuming that it also asks you for money
Many fundraising appeals are often made to look like surveys. They are actually quite effective.

13. Well I'll be damned
Ole Denny wants me to send him some money. Just for that I'll drop a few bucks from my Military pension and send it from Mississippi to New York to help Senator Clinton whip that botox' bitches ass.

8. Send him a survey back.
1. Are you still taking bribes?

2. Are you still a crook?

3. Do you still beat your wife and kids?

12. Do what my guitar teacher did with a Frist letter
Get some cat poop and mail it back to them.

He was pissed at the Dems, was my teacher. He's getting all these Repub letters and no Dem letters. He wants to know where they are. I said, you don't want them anyway, they're all fundraising letters anyway. And they are, on BOTH sides.
