Just got surveyed over the phone....
By some 3rd-party company obviously hired by some repugs. I could tell instantly when I was asked this question:

"If John Kerry was in the White House right now, would Saddam still be in Iraq, torturing and killing people?"

I got rather pissed off by this question. Oh well, I hope the neocons who hired out this company love my results, considering I'm very liberal. BTW, I'm in New Mexico, which is probably one of the reasons why my place got called.

Anyone else out in the swing states (or any state) get called by some political surveyors recently?

3. That's a push poll if I ever heard of one.
I'm sure it's only the start.

5. Was the call from India?
or the Philipines?

or China?

etc.

If not, then the gop has seen fit to keep at least one job in the USA.

6. You know what that makes me wonder?
If you were to say something like "If John Kerry were in the WH we wouldn't be in Iraq" that would obviously sound favorable towards Kerry. So I am wondering if they'd even count your answer in the poll results? I am not in a swing State so I don't get polled. Wish I would though.

7. I hope they call me. My answer:
Yes, Saddam would still be torturing and killing people instead of the US torturing and killing people. What's your point?

8. I wish they would call me. I'd love to tell them
exactly what I think of Shrub. Unfortunately, since I am a registered Dem, I doubt they'll call even though this is a swing state.
