Obtained: The RNC’s Health Care Survey
By David Weigel

WASHINGTON, D.C. — I just chatted with Raymond Denny, the 64-year-old La Center, Wash., man who received the RNC’s “2009 Future of American Health Survey,” which alleged that President Obama’s health reform plans might discriminate against Republicans.
“I’ve been getting these things for years,” said Denny, who opened the letter with his wife Louise, “getting them from the Republicans, getting them from the Democratic Party, usually with the wrong name on it. This thing says I’m a sustaining member. They word these things to solicit the answer they wanted. This one here we looked at and said, “Wow, that’s way beyond the pale of what should be done.”

Denny confirmed that he’s a “lifelong independent” who became a Democrat last year to vote for Obama. “I’m a fiscal and constitutional conservative,” he said, although he hasn’t made up his mind on the health care debate yet. “I don’t know why I got this. Maybe something in my demographic or something convinced them that I was a lifelong Republican.”

1. It wouldn't let me vote
but then I didn't really want to anyway because of the way the questions are worded. You have to agree with a lie to vote on #2 and #4 and just be pretty darn stoopid to agree with any of them enough to have an opinion, imo

3. No problem
I got a good laugh out of the wording anyway so all wasn't lost :-)
