Has this happened to anyone else?
Last night, my wife received a phone call. It was a poll.

The first question they asked was if she supported the "Tea Party"?

The second question asked if she supported Sarah Palin?

The third question asked if she had ever given money to Sarah Palin.

Of course, she answered all three questions in the negative.

Has anyone else received these poll questions?

What or who do you think are behind them?

1. Not yet.
I did get a robo-call survey about environmental issues and where they were in my priorities and how did I rate President Obama.

I had binary choices; approve or disapprove, included in priorities when voting or not.

President Obama - approve
Environmental Issues - included in priorities

When I hung up, I felt I'd lost several IQ points. Blech!

6. Thanks!
I've been trying to remember the name 'Rosetta Stone' for two days now.

My daughter is going to Italy & I wanted to see if I could get a language tape for her on craigslist & couldn't remember what it was called... ;-)

7. I never answer phone polls- just for grins once, I asked one who called exactly WHO had
commisioned the poll, and the person couldn't answer. kept trying to tell me the name of the company he worked for. I carefully, in small words, told him I never answered poll questions unless I knew who wanted those results and why. Told him I thought there was something very underhanded and sneaky about him not having that information.

9. She answered wrong. The answer to all three should have been "FUCK NO!"

10. No. I haven't gotten a call. But I would tell the person to make sure
they know that I and many members of my family (even republican members) wouldn't vote for stupid. So that leaves Palin out.
