Has anyone seen this questionnaire with all the loaded questions? It actually made me laugh reading through these "carefully crafted and framed questions". I can see some not so politically inclined survey taker getting had fist over barrel without any depth of knowledge over particular issues. In short, it's nicely worded for Tea Partiers.....

The letter by Michael Steele is a dandy too, in a morbid sense.

President Obama a radical left?! (which is mentioned in the letter) Hardly; you're lucky it's not Malcom X sitting in the White House, cause then you'd really have something to complain about.

Here are the questions on the survey; options are Yes, No and No Opinion:

1. Do you agree with Barack Obama and the Democrats that taxes should be raised for the sake
of "fairness" regardless of the negative impact it is likely to have on the economy?

2. Do you believe the federal government has gone too far in bailing out failing banks, insurance
companies and the auto industry?

3. Do you support amnesty for illegal immigrants?

4. Should English be the official language of the United States?

5. Are you in favor of granting retroactive Social Security eligibility to illegal immigrants who gain U.S.
citizenship through an amnesty program?

6. Are you in favor of the expanded welfare benefits and unlimited eligibility (no time, education, or work
requirements) that Democrats in Congress are pushing to pass?

7. Do you believe that Barack Obama's nominees for federal courts should be immediately and unquestionably
approved for their lifetime appointments by the U.S. Senate?

8. Do you believe that the best way to increase the quality and effectiveness of public education in the U.S.
is to rapidly expand federal funding while eliminating performance standards and accountability?

9. Do you support the creation of a national health insurance plan that would be administered by bureaucrats
in Washington, D.C.?

10. Do you believe that the quality and availability of health care will increase if the federal government
dictates pricing to doctors and hospitals?

11. Are you confident that new medicines and medical treatments will continue to be developed if the federal
government controls prescription drug prices and sets profit margins for research and pharmaceutical companies?

12. Are you in favor of creating a government-funded "Citizen Volunteer Corps" that would pay young people
to do work now done by churches and charities, earning Corps Members the same pay and benefits given to
military veterans?

13. Are you in favor of reinstituting the military draft, as Democrats in Congress have proposed?

14. Do you believe the federal government should allow the unionization of Department of Homeland Security
employees who serve in positions critical to the safety and security of our nation?

15. Do you support Democrat's drive to eliminate workers' right to a private ballot when considering
unionization of their place of employment?
