I am getting called almost every night to answer polls. And I love the fact that some of those polls are not quite polls but not-so-well disguised political advertisement.
I just finished with one of those “polls” brutally slanted towards the Democrats. I decided to have fun with the answers and the “poll taker” must thought he was dealing with the re-incarnation of Pinochet. One of the questions was memorable:
Poller: If a candidate refused to not only support a ban on “Assault Weapons” but also attacked Parkland High School Survivors, what would be your choice: Very likely vote for him, somewhat likely vote for him, somewhat unlikely vote for him or very unlikely vote for him?
Me: He attacked Parkland High School Survivors?
Poller: Yes he did.
Me: Fuck yes, I am more likely voting for the sumbitch.
Hey, it is cheap fun!
Should have kept asking: “Really? Physically attacked them? Damn! That’s what I want to see! None of this mild criticism they’ve gotten so far — they deserve a harsh paddling and six months locked up at home!”
Always end the conversation with “I have a helicopter. Want to go for a ride? It’s free.”
