Now THAT is un-biased polling.

real examples:
5. Do you oppose the Obama National Energy Tax, also known as “cap and trade,” which would skyrocket your utility bills and destroy jobs while having virtually no impact on the environment?

1. Do you oppose the Obama-Pelosi health care takeover plan that would bring Washington bureaucrats between doctors and patients, ration medical treatment and deny critical care while skyrocketing the national debt?

Are you pushing your own short comings on us and safely hating them from a distance?

Is this the virtue of faith? To never change your mind: especially when you should?

That's certainly an ... accurate portrayal in the wonderful world of political surveys. It allows so much room for Republicans to possibly say what they mean to say.
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never say a common place thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..." ~ Jack Kerouac

Welcome to McDonalds. Would you like ominous notes with your pay stub pushing you toward a republican vote with that?

It's amusing the consider the liberal version of those questions:

Do you support Obama's cap-and-trade plan to prevent millions of deaths and worldwide suffering that would otherwise occur due to global warming?

Do you support Obama's health care plan to provide health care to 30 million Americans, saving the lives of 30000 people every year and letting millions of people, including many children, receive the necessary medical care that they otherwise wouldn't receive?

Every once in a while I get a letter address to "Citizens concerned about immigration," which asks my opinion on various questions regarding those immigrants that are apparently ruining my job prospects. And no, there was little effort on the part of the author to differentiate between legal and illegal immigration.

I will occasionally mail them back with sarcastic responses (they're paying for postage, after all). Push polls can be fun, if you don't let them bother you.
