Tea Leaves & Mass Mailings

Somewhere along the line my name found it’s way onto a list of Republican supporters. I get telephone calls from time to time asking for money. Today, I got a RNC census questionnaire. It’s the standard dimwitted little push poll. I consider it an honor to be able to siphon off a few dimes from their coffers of blood money. Here’s an amusing question they ask:

Do you support the use of air strikes against any country that offers safe harbor or aid to individuals or organizations committed to further attacks on America?

Are they testing the waters among the faithful for some contemplated, I don’t know, airstrikes? There’s also a section on the form for enclosing “$11 to cover the cost of tabulating my survey.” Interesting. They claim to be sending this form to “5.5 million Republicans.” I’m not much for arithmetic, but lordy pordy. For lauding a President who distains polls, they’re certainly committing some serious cash to this ridiculous little endeavor. Douchebags.
