Can push polling be far behind?
We know Huck is on the horn. We know that, in other states, shadowy Repub groups have begun push polling. In this, under the guise of questions presented in opinion survey format, recipients are given scurrilous and misleading information about opposition candidates when the respondent has indicated receptiveness on an issue.
Example:
Caller: Are you pro-life?
Respondent: Yes.
Caller: Did you know the Democrat in this race favors medical experiments on unborn babies? (This, by the way, is apparently how the Repubs have decided to battle stem cell research.)
Any such "polling" underway in Arkansas? If you get such a call, take notes and send them along.
Comments
I got one, they asked me if I was pro-life and I replied with " no, I am for putting babies on spikes" they hung up. I don't know why.

Perhaps we should run experiments on career politicians.

Why don't they ask are you
for throwing babies in the
trash (discarding unused
embryos) as they are now?
Why not allow us to
potentially save lives instead? This is nothing but a political football to
these Shiites.
If they really think all of these
discarded embryos
are "babies" then why no
effort to save them? How
about all the Shiite women
volunteering their bodies to
host the "babies" for 9
months? I won't be holding
my breath for that.

Jesus Jim Holt was using a similar technique in '04. Since I have 3 land lines to the place the call came 3 different times. His polling used interactive voice with only Y or N responses allowed. A silence on my end would get a repeat of the question.
At the end if your responses were not as desired JJ's voice came on saying
"Well, I can see there is more work to be done with you."
Kinda spooky coming as close to Halloween as it did.
That mf is a spook, kook, flute and the kinda nutcake who would convince masses to drink the kool-aid.

Here's what I do, and it's fun:
Act like you are very old and hard of hearing. Ask for their name, where they are calling from, what company they work for. Stall, waste their time, ask them to repeat questions, give crazy answers. Do this enough times and you'll be off the list.

"This year, with Republicans in so much trouble in the West, the
missionaries from Washington aren't doing them any favors. They need
every sinner's vote they can get. "
