argh push polls

I think we get on average 2 phone calls per week with local, state (most), or national issue or candidate polls. I actually don't mind - usually. But last night I got the most obnoxious push poll for our local state house representative.

"Would you be more or less likely to vote for [candidate I think is a raving loony] if you knew he was a candidate for sainthood and on the short list for the Nobel?"

"Would you be more or less likely to vote for [candidate I support] if you know he was a father-murderer and mother-raper?"

Okay, not quite. But it totally pisses me off to be asked if I would be more or less likely to vote for a small businessman who supports cutting red tape for other businesses (that is, he wants to get rid of all environmental protection), and more or less likely to vote for someone who used to be a Washington lobbyist (oh, the horror! Except it was for an environmental organization!).

Finally I said, "I would never vote for [lunatic candidate] even if he gave me a thousand dollars and an iPad and a PONY." And the woman on the other end of the line said, "I don't have a place to write that down. Would you be more or less likely blah blah blah?"

I cannot WAIT for the friggin' election.
