>I was called by a pollster last night. The questions surprised me. Not once was I asked who I would vote for or if I had voted. Yet the purpose of the poll was determine who I would vote for. At the end of the poll, I asked the fellow how could he tell who I would vote when that question was never asked. He informed me that they could tell by how I answered the questions. I wonder...

Let me give it a go....

Terrorism -> McCain
Economy->Obama

Neither.... heheheheh (Actual - the Hot Babe -> Palin)

>3. Which candidate speaks more from the heart?

Both

>4. Do you think the money spent on the war in Iraq would be better served at home in the U.S.?

Loaded question -> Of course, at home..... until we get hit again.

>5. Do you think large corporations make too much money?

Corporations (which is You and I) - Never The CEO's... Always.....

>6. Do you think the U.S. welcomes immigrants from other countries and provides a chance for economic success?

Legal ones... yes
We tolerate illegal ones...

>7. If you or a family member gets sick, is it your fault?

What????

Already is... I'd tell the Pollster to come with me over to the Emergency Room on Saturday night.... the place is full.

>9. Do you pay too many taxes?

I'm not Patriotic enough, I guess......

>10. Do you think the government should protect those who cannot protect themselves?

Let's see -.... a and b -> Redneck Conservatives

>14. Do you drink? If so how much and how frequently (a. daily b. one drink a week c. several drinks a week)

This one is a tossup

>15. If you drink, do you (a. drink beer b. drink wine...)

Go back to 13

>16. Do you think too many soldiers died or were injured in Iraq?

What a loaded question! Like - Do you beat your wife too much on the weekend??

>17. When you hear Obama speak, do you feel: (a. relaxed b. worried c. excited)

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

>18. when you hear McCain speak, do you feel: (a. relaxed b. worried c. excited)
