You've Got Mail

I got the most entertaining bit of mail in a while the other day, courtesy of the NRCC. I think they got my name somewhere from online based on how it was addressed. However, it's not the name that got my interest piqued, but the nature of the questions asked.

They are - as follows (all are Yes/No/Undecided):

1. Do you feel voters in NJ 9th District support making all of the Bush tax cuts permanent?
2. Do you support House democrats "slow bleed" strategy to "choke off" funding for our troops in Iraq, leading to their withdrawal and a perception of American defeat?
3. Should Republicans continue fighting for full implementation of a ballistic missile defense system?
4. Do voters in NJ 9th agree with the Nancy Pelosi Democrat Majority's decision to impose massive tax hikes on the American people?
5. Do you think that House Republicans should continue to push for pro-growth policies that create jobs and oppose tax increases that would add a burden to working families and set back our economy?
6. Do you support Congressional Republicans' efforts to decrease domestic government spending in order to reduce the national deficit?
7. Do you support the Democrats' efforts to give federal government bureaucrats complete control of your health care costs and choices?
8. Should Republicans in Congress make expansion of Veterans' benefits a priority?
9. Do you support maintaining anti-terrorism laws that give law enforcement and intelligence agencies far-reaching powers to track, detain, and prosecute terrorists and their accomplices?
10. Should Republicans in the House of Representatives make securing our nation's borders and enforcing our nation's immigration laws, including combating the hiring of illegal workers and ending the "catch and release" policy a top priority?
11. Do you think House Republicans should continue fighting for comprehensive education reform to ensure that every child in America receives a first-rate education?
12. Do you agree that winning back a Republican Majority in the House is essential to stopping the Nancy Pelosi Democrats from raising our taxes, destroying our economy, and endangering our homeland?

Who makes these questions up, and could they be any more clueless? Seriously? How am I supposed to know what other voters in my district are thinking? It would be nice if the GOP actually was interested in border control and stopping illegal aliens and enforcing the laws on the books as currently written.

This past year has shown that the GOP doesn't need to be in the majority to thwart Pelosi's policies - Pelosi's own politics and GOP opposition did that. The GOP has no problem spending like drunken sailors (or Ted Kennedy).

The order of the questions is also curious as missile defense systems are below the radar for most people, but Iraq is a big issue, as is the economy.

If this is what the NRCC thinks is sufficient to gauge public opinion, they've got serious problems.

UPDATE:
If they think that push polls (which these questions clearly are - they're designed to get you to say yes) are going to get me to contribute to the NRCC, they've got another thing coming.
