The Republican [Con]census

The Republican [Con] census


Although I consider myself a libertarian, since libertarian politicians such as Ron Paul have been known to run under the republican ticket, I am registered as a republican. This being said, I recently received what was entitled the 2009 Republican Party Census Document: a letter requesting that you fill out a census questionnaire and donate money to the republican party. While it was immediately apparent to me that the Republican National Committee has done nothing to deserve a donation of any kind, I thought perhaps filling out the census questionnaire could help redirect them onto the right path.

By Question four I was too irritated to continue. Not that I don't agree that the stimulus package is wasteful or that the federal government should not be involved in private business however, completely weighted obviously biased questions, like the tripe that consumes this "census", do not provide accurate unbiased statistics for the republican party to judge their party's views. It's not a census if the intended or "correct" answer is clearly outlined in the wording.


After reading the last question (number 3 under Republican Party) I was forced to conclude that this survey is nothing short of a rouse to coerce money out of ignorant unsuspecting republicans for the republican national committee to throw into the air and roll around in. According to this, it cost's $12 for someone to read my 25 question multiple choice survey? Really? And if I chose not to pay for to cover this obviously necessary cost, the only possible alternative is that I will be voting for "liberal democrats" for the next 10 years. Yes, it really says that (see image 4).


Seriously republicans, are you guys effing kidding me? aaaand that is why Democrats rule all three branches of government because despite unlikely odds, you guys have found a way to be even bigger douche bags. Congratulations. That is quite an accomplishment.
