Had a phone survey from Denver. the guy wanted to ask me questions. I told him I would try to answer them. here are some I remember,
Notice that I was not given any other choice. He did not like it when I told him none of the above. He had to change his questions to, who would you be most likely to vote for, a candidate that stands for this or that. One I thought was interesting was would you cheat on your wife? And one that was strange, would you vote for a person who did cocaine? I dont know who wanted the info but I did ask for the firm he worked for and he said PSA from Denver. I asked psa stands for and he could not tell me. Well you get what you pay for.
OK Al I will see you later.........Mark

Did I tell you about the political survey that called me? I think I did. One of the questions was; Would you vote for anyone who did cocaine? I thought that it was a very strange question, and wondered why did they ask it. Well, I found out my answer. On the Sunday News show that I watch, they were talking about GW Bush and his "alleged" use of cocaine. Now I know why. The hidden agenda is working even in unbiased polls.
What I should have told them was I won't vote for a politician that smokes pot either. That would have got me kicked out of their survey, HAHAHA
OK Al, keep me posted, and I will catch you later........Mark
