I was just the victim of a push-poll
Actually, I'm not sure if it was a true push poll, but it felt like it to me. It was strongly suspect that it was sponsored by Jon Porter's office http://www.house.gov/porter/

Questions such as "Does knowing that the Democratic challenger is a former attorney for big oil who represented the Saudis change your opinion of Gallagher (the Dem)?" When, in 1986?

"Does knowing that the Democratic challenger is a multi-millionaire with two homes in Lake Tahoe and one in Los Angeles mean that he is out of touch with the common man?" No, it means he's rich.

MY PERSONAL FAVORITE:
"Would you categorize the war in Iraq as a success or not a success?"
I replied "We have a special word for 'not a success.' It's called 'failure.'"

6. You weren't a victim. You were a target, and you shot back
and scored a bull's eye.

"Failure." Most excellent retort.
