Gosar's CRap Poll

I haven't lived in Arizona in over ten years, and when I was there I never lived in Paul Gosar's congressional district, but somehow I landed on his email newsletter list,  I should ask to have my name removed from the list because Gosar and I agree on absolutely nothing, but some depraved part of me gets a kick out of his never-ending fount of nonsense.  The right-wing extremist Republican is often hysterically funny when he solicits comments from his readers and then skewers them unmercifully for their views.

This week Congressman Gosar was banging on about the proposed continuing resolution to fund the government up into next March, something he is quick to let his readers know that he vociferously opposes.  But, he would also like for his readers to give him some props on his position by answering a poll on the matter that Gosar and his staff have prepared.  Gosar's poll is biased to the point of being comically deranged.

He begins with an explanation of the continuing resolution, one that expresses it clearly through the congressman's own point of view.  Here is his introduction to the subject:

"Shortly, Congress will vote on a 1,547-page continuation resolution (CR) to fund the federal government until mid-March.  I personally think the CR is chocked full of a bunch of garbage that I cannot support.   It's more big government, more massive spending, includes a pay raise for Members of Congress, and is loaded with Big Pharma giveaways.  Do you agree with me?       Before I cast my. vote, I want to hear from you.  Do you think Congress should pass the CR?"

And for those who are still unclear as to how to vote following that sterling introduction, Gosar drops a couple of more hints in the way he prepares his ballot, first with the title, and then with the wording of the choices:

"CRapnibus

_____  Yes.   I want more spending and government.

_____  No.   It's a loser for the American people.

--------  Unsure"

Congressman Gosar is probably going to get the answer he is begging for, but he won't get it from me.  He clearly is not truly interested in what his constituents think if he has to tell them what to think.   It's actually disrespectful.
