DEM RIPS HILLARY FOR 'POLL' FAULT ("insulting" survey to Dims to drum up cash faulted)
New York Post ^ | July 31, 2005 | CARL CAMPANILE

HILLARY CLINTON "Insulting" mailer.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has mailed an "insulting" survey to Democrats to drum up cash for her re-election campaign next year — asking leading questions that attack President Bush and the GOP.

One Brooklyn Democrat who received the slick mailing accused Clinton of stooping to what he called the gutter politics practiced by Bush adviser Karl Rove.

"Part of my job is to be a good listener," Clinton says in a "Dear Friend" letter to targeted Democrats.

"My determination to move forward on the issues we care about is reinforced by the Republican pursuit of flawed and failing policies and by my deep concern over the effect the extreme Bush agenda is having on America."

But the questions are aimed at drumming up anti-GOP feeling, rather than "listening" to and getting honest answers on issues, charged author Adam Fawer, who read the mailing last week.

One question reads: "How concerned are you that President Bush is not doing enough to get Americans back to work, create more jobs and getting the economy moving again?"

Respondents are asked to check a box to answer either "very" or "somewhat concerned" or "unconcerned."

She then asks for contributions starting at $25 to more than $100.

Fawer, a former market researcher, slammed the questions as "over the top and insulting."

"Hillary claimed she wanted to know what our views are, but the questions are so leading that it was obvious to me the poll is designed to try to get me to think in a certain way," Fawer said.

Clinton campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson said: ......"One person not liking a 6-month-old mailer doesn't sound like much of a story here."

Read "Senatorial Privilege" if you haven't already. The evidence for the amount of water in her lungs comes the undertaker who took custody of her body from the sheriff. IIRC, he reported about a pint. Usually drowning victims have gallons of water in their lungs, iirc. He also took a blood sample, which was the forensic evidence for the amount of alcohol in her blood. The undertaker said he never heard of any other case where the body of a drowning victim was released to leave the state without an autopsy. And an undertaker in Barnstable county will hear of a large number of out of state drowning victims.

Has the b*tch seen the economic figures lately? - We have.

They are counting on most recipients NOT knowing that the economy and unemployment rates are GREAT, and the Dem partners in the MSM are sure as heck not beating the drum. Once again, GOOD news for the nation is BAD news for the LibDems.

According to Stone Age Press Groupthink, she is the reincarnation of her "husband" when in actuality she was behind the curtain for a reason. She has the political savy of a tinpot dictator. She would lose NY to Pataki.

I'll send the Democrats a check the day the Barnstable County Democratic Committee calls for the public hanging of people who leave young women to drown.

...where Chappaquiddick Bridge is located? :D

Chappaquiddick and Martha's Vineyard are actually in Dukes County. Hyannisport and Cape Cod are in Barnstable County. The hearings appurtenant to the Ballad of Mary Jo took place in Barnstable County court, which is on the nearest court on the mainland.

What this makes it is a window into how Hillary thinks. It should scare the hell out of people.

By all accounts I have read and seen on TV - the economy is humming and doing much better than expected in some circles.

So .. this question: "... Bush is not doing enough to get Americans back to work, create more jobs and getting the economy moving again?" is very leading and very negative.

If a person in politics is so UNREALISTIC they cannot see the economy is GOOD - then it's strictly politics that they would lie and try to deceive people into thinking the economy is bad when it's good.

This is funny. I get these bogus "surveys" all the time from the GOP and various conservative organizations. I recognize them for what they are pitch them in the Post Office trashcan.
I have never taken them as an insult to my intelligence, perhaps because I was never stupid enough to be taken in by one. Unlike this whiner, whose intelligence, apparently really is in play.

Troll: a person who can't make a decent argument and resorts to cursing. Way to go, that how you win an argument.
