GOP Mail!

Something stinks...Might be the limburger....might be the email below. Don't worry that you don't like limburger. You'll have no appetite left after reading this.

I subscribe to both the Democratic & Republican party emails. Why? To see what kind of propaganda they are both spewing. And it helps me learn who NOT to vote for in various elections.

The one today from the Republican party is a real winner. They'd like me to fill out their survey! I was kind of excited to respond to the items in unexpected ways, however, there is no option other than to leave a comment in the box at the end. But I can't even do that without completing each question...and there is no "other" option to select. Sure, they take away all my fun. Speaking of fun, just imagine all the ways these survey results will be used by the party in future advertising. yay!

Sorry can't help but laughing at the "keep America's ecomony growing" bit. That must apply to the oil executives only.

Governement run healthcare????
You mean, the stuff that costs less and covers everyone?

What a horrible idea.

I was going to write in my own comments throughout the survey, but it was just easier to bash my head on my desk.

Jen said...

This is my favorite- "Democrats would sell out American values to Hollywood liberals"

This is a joke, right?

kim (weltek) said...

I tried...I can't choose just one favorite statement.

Bravie said...

Just adding to my disgust of our government.

Sonya said...

Do we get to see your response or do we get to guess at them? LOL!

kim (weltek) said...

I couldn't submit it because I refused to pick their answer choices in some of the questions! I thought about clicking "reply" to the email with "This is the sorriest, baised, tainted survey I have ever encountered. Go fuck yourself."

I'm thinking Estee should summarize the Republican led term in hopes of killing it.

miamicatt said...

Ugh.

I got a package from the Republicans a while back...and I'm a registered Democrat. It contained a signed photograph of the president and first lady. I'll leave you to decide what kind of fun I had with that.

I gotta go...I'm off to sell out to Hollywood liberals...
(CANADIAN Hollywood liberals. Catt, why do you hate America?)
:P

kim (weltek) said...

I'm assuming you framed that picture & hung it over your bed. *innocent look*

No?

Debcapsfan said...

Did I ever tell you about the time I almost smacked into Rumsfeld? Literally.

Seana said...

I like the bit about selling out to Hollywood. *snort*

I'd be scared to check anything for fear of what that *actually* means. Like "strengthening marriage" and "keeping taxes low". Yikes.

Anonymous said...

The Republican Party and the Democratic Party seem one in the same today. Both parties have a globalist agenda and we the American people get left out. We old fashioned Conservatives call them the Republicats these days!

Swami said...

I would rather smell Limburger cheese than fill out that survey.

kim (weltek) said...

Oh boy, straw. Hi. Your blog looks....um....very different from any other I visit.

HistoryDetective said...

Wow. Just wow. Your new fan club looks ... interesting, Weltek.

*shudder*

Lasann said...

OMG, get out. Get out now while you can. The CC party has arrived.

{{giggles}}

Have any of the Dems survey's/info been this biased and/or bashing. 'Cause I find this very offensive.

I like, "To uphold our nation's bedrock values". These include:

1. Steal land, if not by war, then biological warfare is effective.

Biological warfare brought to America by the Europeans but now attributed to the Middle East.

2. If you tie them to the pyre and they don't die from the fire then they must not be witches. Wait a minute, I'd think that only the witches will survive.

My, rather sarcastic mind wants to continue, but my logical mind just went kaput.

Buggy said...

Those stupid Hollywood Liberals! They are the cause of all the bad stuff in the world!

This survey is a hoot!

Oh and Kim?
I shave my toes.
Just thought you should know.

kim (weltek) said...

*hugs* for the fellow toe shaver. :-)

kim (weltek) said...

Lasann,
I haven't noticed any surveys from the Dems yet. Maybe some will come soon. The DNC emails are pretty much the same tone as the GOP ones. The GOP is just in more cheerleader mode while the DNC is more in the bash mode. It's to be expected.

~Nutz said...

I'm sorry, I can't participate in this thing because I have ruled (in my own Kingdom) that all deep stuff is outlawed.

...but I wanted to stop to say, "hello"!

Oh! ...and you can keep your stinky limberger!
