Pardon me, dear Democratic Pary leadership, but I won't take your survey.

[blondeatlast]

This survey is precisely what has gone so terribly wrong with our leadership--note the frankluntzesque phrasing ("reform") and the fact that my own opinion on these matters is not important--just which issue should carry the most weight.

Below, copied directly from the survey, is what twisted my Spanx (text in italics is mine).
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
How important would you rate the following issues?

Job creation and strengthening the economy: The HOW matters.
1 Least Important 2 3 4 5 Most Important

Health insurance reform: The HOW matters.
1 Least Important 2 3 4 5 Most Important

Clean energy: The HOW matters.
1 Least Important 2 3 4 5 Most Important

Education reform: The HOW matters.
1 Least Important 2 3 4 5 Most Important

Wall Street reform: The HOW matters.
1 Least Important 2 3 4 5 Most Important

Immigration reform The HOW matters.
1 Least Important 2 3 4 5 Most Important

Most importantly, the handy dandy little textboxes at the end don't ask for my opinion on these issues, nor for any other suggestions I might have about issues. Also, we aren't able to submit the form unless the little checkboxes are filled out.

So I ask all dedicated Democratic Party members, whether you are fans of the current leadership or not, to join me in NOT taking the survey they just e-mailed. The opinions of DUers should absolutely matter to the Party--this is still an overwhelmingly Democratic Party website. Maybe, just this once, they will pay attention.

Edit: I removed the link because it contains some identifying markers but I'm sure most DUers will know what I'm talking about.

Edit the second: THEY DIDN'T ASK FOR MONEY--I will give them that much.
