An Austin blogger writes about receiving one of those infamous 'Push Polls' we've heard so much about. These are not polls, they are biased and unscientific. I can't imagine they are getting any useful data out of them...they are more like propoganda phone calls. This is the kind of shit that makes us hate you, just so you know.
Here's an excerpt from D&D Austin's blog:
So what were the questions? Things like "Do you think Ronnie Earle is once again playing politics with the Tom DeLay indictment?", "Do you think the government should be allowed to take about your house to build a building?" and "Do you think the government should allow school vouchers so that parents can send their children to the best school possible?" How do you answer these questions -- no, I don't want to send children to the best possible schools.The more the survey went on, the more frustrated I got. I realized whoever was doing this poll was going to use it for their own agenda and own spin. Still, I was curious and didn't want to hang up, so instead I became a bit obstinate. School vouchers? No. Would I vote for Gov. Perry? No. Am I a Republican? No. Am I a Democrat? No. Is Ronnie Earle playing politics? No. Is my property tax too high? No.
sorry, but that's not a push poll.
Well, it could have been a push poll, if it wasn't so poorly done.
That's kind of like when the guy from the Sierra Club comes to my door......I bet that guy wishes he hadn't called.
