Mr Simmons,
This is to advise you about a push poll that was directed to me last night about 9pm in East Hampton. After establishing I was a likely voter, the oldest male and was a republican I was asked who I would vote for. After telling them the republican candidate most likely (because I don't know you because of redistricting) I was asked a series of questions which included (not exact wording) :
1. Simmons voted for 450 million in retro active tax benefits for Enron.
2. Simmons voted against school building.
3. Simmons voted against allowing us to sure HMO's and taking away benefits from elderly.
He then asked me would I still vote for Simmons. I told him his questions were based on flawed premises and that this was a push poll. I was surprised that he didn't tell me Simmons was an ax murderer but yes I will still vote for the ax murderer.
The contact person I was given for this poll is Amy Collier, 215-641-2200 ext 2247. I left her a message telling her the polling company was lower scum than Clinton.
I am angry about this call and am willing to offer whatever assistance I can to you in the upcoming election in East Hampton, please let me know what I can do to help.

How come you've never run for office? You're typical of the people who bitch like crazy, impugn other people, then slither away when it comes time to put up or shut up.
I don't care if he's George Washington reincarnate...screw him.
you are what you post and based on what I read, you're not much.
Reread the above.
I think this next election I'll run as a libertine for. . . something. With my vote and yours I'll get what, 3 votes?
Can you be more specific? You have not indicated you have called his office. And i've sifted through most of the garbage on this thread.
The so called 450 million to Enron was the stimulus bill. It included a provision to eliminate the alt min tax. The alt min tax is a tax on companies that have tax losses. The alt min tax is not healthy for the economy and it amounts to theft from the companies and its abolishment is not a tax cut.
Thats right. You'll fit better in NY getting ready to keep Hillary's political career going by bashing anyone that opposes her.
?
That's the best you can do?
The above e-mail included my work and homes numbers as well as my address and yes I did call him and left a message with his campaign headquarters. The idea of a push poll in this area is consistant with past reports of the tactics used by the RATs in prior years. Also, the structure of the questions wasn't done in a way of attempting to see what kinds of things would affect my opinion. They were structured to try and change my opinon.
Most of the garbage on this thread is from the poster with your name.
A.k.a. libertarians. Self-obsessed fools who believe we can harbor dope, sodomy, gay marriage and other vile cancers and remain a free and healthy society. They are the socialists' "Useful Idiot Brigade."
Yeah, well it depends on your perspective. Sometimes the truth is ugly. Try it some time.
