This is where I refer to that part in the disclaimer that my opinions are mine.
Sarah Palin sent me a letter… Sort of. In my defense, 2E and 2F look very similar. If you couple that with the obvious confusion and shock I felt when seeing that Sarah Palin sent me a ‘personal’ letter, no one can blame me for tearing into said letter immediately.
Half way through the ridiculousness, I realized, it was not for me (something I knew from the beginning). So, seeing how I have already accidently broken the law, I’ll finish this post by documenting my experience for you.
First, I will say that if I wasn’t scared to death that there are millions of susceptible people out there, this would be hilarious and if read aloud on SNL it might save the show.
Onto the letter. It came in a nice envelope marked PERSONAL & NON PROFIT and apparently, Ms. Palin does not need a return address, her name is enough.
The letter is a 2-paged request for money (but if you could use your own first class stamp, so the RNC can save the funds, that would be super) and to take the “Victory 2010 Survey” My answers (or the neighbor in 2E that I will now judge) will “directly shape Republican strategy in my Congressional voting area.”
I should have stopped at this sentence: “If you think Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are doing a good job running America, then put this down. This Victory 2010 Survey isn’t for you.” However, curiosity destroyed this cat.
All of this rhetoric ended with the aforementioned VICTORY 2010 SURVEY. I needed to know, just what type of questions “commonsense conservatives” who “want a new brand of Reagan conservatism” (sweet name dropping) would be answering.
I was amazed… Again, if it wasn’t for real, I would be looking over my shoulder for a sprinting Ashton yelling “America, you’ve been Punk’d! Sarah Palin is my masterpiece!!” I’ll let the 3 of you who read my blog draw your own conclusion.
On to the absurdly loaded and self-fulfilling questions. There are only 5, and remember they will shape the Republican strategy:
1. Do you think President Obama’s goal of “fundamentally transforming America” by redistributing the wealth of hard working families and small businesses to the government’s chosen winner will lead our country to financial ruin?
[]Yes []No []Undecided
2. Do you expect your children and grandchildren to pay for President Obama’s, Nancy Pelosi’s or Harry Reid’s record deficit and government run health care takeover?
[]Yes []No []Undecided
3. Do you think it is wrong for Barack Obama as President of the United States to continually bow and apologize to foreign leaders?
[]Yes []No []Undecided
4. Are you in favor of cracking down on illegal immigrants and fully funding a border fence with Mexico?
[]Yes []No []Undecided
5. Will you make a contribution today to RNC Victory 2010…
a. [] Yes, Sarah! You betcha (I added the you betcha part) I agree we need strong conservative leadership at the national, state and local levels who will fight the Democrats’ leftist agenda…
b. [] No, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have our country on the right track.
I’ve been inspired and have taken the liberty to write a few of my own questions. I used the same logic they used and I hope they will consider using them in their next survey:
1. Do you think Sarah Palin is as crazy as a shithouse rat and that our soldiers are brave?
[]Yes []No
2. Do you think this country would be better off without Sarah Palin, drug cartels, cancer, dirty drinking water, pollution, the Taliban and Crocs?
[]Yes []No
3. Do you agree that no child should starve to death and that Sarah Palin hates gays, minorities, your grandmother and reason?
[]Yes []No
4. Do you think that baby seals, puppies and kittens are cute and agree that Sarah Palin, under the RNC, likes to rewrite history, take advantage of people, incite bullying and bigotry, watches Fox News and is an idiot?
[]Yes []No
5. Left or Right aside, are you scared to death that there are people out there who believe in what the Palin and O’Donnell are selling?
[]Yes
Happy Friday. And no, of course I didn’t answer the survey for 2E. That wouldn’t be right (or leftist) of me. [said with a trademarked Sarah Palin wink]
