1. I would but

I don't want them to have any information on me at ALL.
No name/no address

[OneAngryDemocrat]

4. Your survey results have no bearing on your anonymity

Just shut down the page after taking the survey. I certainly didn't give them any info, either.

[bluedigger]

47. I'm a President's Club Member now!

[goclark]

72. Did it ~ thanks

[spinbaby]

5. I just submitted the survey

And then left without filling out their form.

[spinbaby]

2. Oh, that was fun!

I loved filling in the blanks.

[Bluzmann57]

3. Did it

But they aren't going to like my answers.

[tanyev]

6. Done!

[ret5hd]

7. My answer to "What measures are likely to create jobs?" Other:

Raise corp. tax rates to a point where it is cheaper to hire a person than to pay the taxes on the money otherwise saved.

[Lucy Goosey]

13. I said something similar...

...I suggested a tax-based disincentive for off-shoring jobs. Also, I suggested giving tax breaks to companies that actually create jobs in a given year, instead of giving them the tax breaks up front and hoping they will create jobs.

I also, for no reason other than to amuse myself, suggested in the immigration question that an electrified fence should be built along the Canadian border, so they will probably be able to recognize that I am not really one of their people. (Unless they take the comment seriously, and decide to run with it - that would be awesome.)

[OneAngryDemocrat]

14. To the "What Measures would Create Jobs?" Question...

...I said stop sending them overseas.

[Mz Pip]

53. Me, too

I said, Return manufacturing to the US.

[csziggy]

32. I answered "Raise minimum wage and make sure every worker makes a living wage."

If every person working made a living wage, that would put a lot of money into the economy and generate more jobs!

[Vincardog]

50. I said the same but it was "Make sure EVERYONE has a livable income."

[firehorse]

68. exactly what I said too :D

[11 Bravo]

58. I said, "Putting a stop to Republican Congressional obstruction".

[JHB]

8. My other answers will probably flag me as "not one of them", but...

...there were a couple I tried to sneak in


4. What measures are likely to create jobs? (Check as many as you wish.)
Other:
Restore tax rate structure to one closer to Cold War standards

That would be with high progressivity and high marginal rates


5. Do you have a cultural or social policy concern not mentioned here? If so, what is it?
Excessive direct influence of religious institutions on civil affairs

Bishops are not supposed to be lobbyists

Which three political leaders do you most admire?
Lincoln, T. Roosevelt, Eisenhower

If you have to stick to Republicans, you might as well use the ones that were worth anything.

[Ian David]

11. I picked Al Franken, Barbara Boxer, and Martin Luther King, Jr. n/t

[firehorse]

34. Eleanor Roosevelt, Lincoln, Yitzhak Rabin

I really hated how they framed all their questions.

[dmosh42]

54. Bernie Sanders, Francois Hollande & Bradley Manning.

[zeemike]

38. I said:

Bust up big corporations
Get religion out of government
None alive today.

[kenfrequed]

41. Damn it!

I chose Lincoln, Eisenhower, and Goldwater. I would have traded Goldwater for Teddy easily. How the hell didn't I think of it.

[snappyturtle]

9. Done! More please.....that was fun! nt

[GoneOffShore]

10. That was fun.

They are a bunch of loons.

[66 dmhlt]

12. That was fun! Thanks for sharing it.

[sinkingfeeling]

15. Fun, but they'll never publish the results of their survey. How'd you like

some of those 'leading' questions. "Who should decide issues of same-sex marriage and abortion?" The legislatures or the courts?

[intheflow]

16. Thanks. That was fun! n/t

[OneAngryDemocrat]

17. NOTE: YOU CAN TAKE THE POLL AS OFTEN AS YOU LIKE

I did it twice, 'cause two times is twice as nice.

[stubtoe]

37. Oh, well, that makes it even MORE scientific!

/sarcasm

[RC]

18. 5. Do you have a cultural or social policy concern not mentioned here? If so, what is it?

Get rid of the corrupt, Election Fraud enabling, Electronic Voting Machines.

[OneAngryDemocrat]

23. I said "Domestic Right-Wing" terrorism

[RC]

25. That'll work

[clang1]

19. re: Tell the Fascists What's On Your Mind: Take this Heritage Foundation Survey

Lool why thank you. I have a few things to say the fascists myself.

[LibertyLover]

20. Ooooh that was fun!

My 3 political favorites: FDR, Truman, Obama

Unnamed concern: Get the churches and pastors out of the political system. If they want political influence, tax the bastards.

[OneAngryDemocrat]

24. FDR, Thomas Jefferson, and Thomas Paine

I added two others: MLK Jr and Robert Kennedy.

[Chorophyll]

21. That was fun.

Thanks!

[barbtries]

22. that was kind of fun.

with their fucking loaded questions. should people be free to raise their children as they wish?

[Xyzse]

26. It's a bit hard

Since quite a few of the multiple choice answers are too dumb to consider.

I mean, just the first question, most of the choices are unreasonable.

Then on Healthcare, it gives 3 choices, Yes, No, Undecided, but I am more towards "Editing".

Question 4 is crazy, none of the choices will really make a difference. So I just placed something short like:
"One can reduce the corporate tax rate but get rid of loop holes and make it so that corporations cannot hide their assets in other countries to evade taxes. Cut it further for those that grow jobs in the US and take away benefits from those that off-shore heavily. One can improve R&D and create more favorable terms in research grants where profit from a product that we funded goes back to the tax payers."

I can't agree with the other methods.

In terrorism, I have to credit the current methods for dealing with Iran. Unlike before, the US has built enough of a consensus that Iran is being even more isolated and having a harder time dealing with their economy. Also, with the current drop in gas prices, it is slowly making them even more irrelevant.

Augh, too over-simplistic it is ticking me off.

Values and the Family:

"I believe that all marriages are civil unions and should be treated as such, marriage is the purview of religion and should not be legislated at all. Government has a lot of more pressing concerns, they shouldn't even be touching this. The school system may be drastically be improved if one allocates a specific value of federal dollars per child instead of the way things are. The current method punishes teachers for being in bad areas giving them low marks when there are a lot of other underlying issues that needs to be addressed rather than just testing. Private organizations have the right to adhere to traditional values as long as it does not affect public service. While parents have the right to raise their children the way they want barring abuse."

LOL "Which three political leaders do you most admire"

Ron Paul, Nancy Pelosi, Brazil's President.

Hrm...

[OneAngryDemocrat]

27. Ron Paul?

Really?

[Xyzse]

28. LOL

Thought that would get some attention and blow up a few brain cells.

There are a few things I can respect him in(not the main policies he espouses but more on his steadfast nature in them(even if I can agree some are dumb), and I had to at least add one Republican in there.

[OneAngryDemocrat]

29. No. I just don't see it.

Both Paul and his son are insane.

[Xyzse]

30. Well perhaps

The thing with Ron and not Rand, is that he actually is consistent, which is far more than I can say for many Republicans out there.

When he is anti-war, there is a full justification to his view-point that is in line with his ideals. It is why he bucks the trend on the actual Republican party and is not fully accepted by the ranks either.

Stating that, would I vote for him? NO, but the question was a matter of respect. I can respect the way he is without agreeing with him. Much like I can have no respect for someone who espouses views that I agree with if they are in a leadership position and weak about it, like Harry Reid.

It is why I respect Pelosi who fought during her tenure as Speaker of the House, while castigated Reid who was merely whining.

[OneAngryDemocrat]

69. Consistent? The SOB says SS is unconstitutional as he cashes his SS checks...

Is THAT the consistency you're talkling about?

[hahahareally]

40. yes they are. but I do like the personal liberty they talk about

[Xyzse]

43. I can agree with some of it

It is just that I tend to believe in enlightened self interest, where one should be mindful of how one's interests affects others. Though of course I am more for a live and let live policy.

I am all for personal liberty and all, but I have to consider how my actions affects others. In some ways, some of the libertarian ideals don't take in to account.

Which is why I have mentioned, I can respect and admire what he says being consistent and so forth, even if I wouldn't agree with him in many ways.

[clang1]

31. re: LOL

heeeheee

[GoneOffShore]

45. Ron & Rand Paul don't advocate for liberty they advocate for license

[OneAngryDemocrat]

71. Bingo!

[JBoy]

33. Bernie Sanders, Alan Grayson, Elizabeth Warren.

Suck on that.

[Whiskeytide]

65. I said,,,

Obama, Warren and Wasserman-Schultz. That should get their heads spinning.

[stubtoe]

35. Good Lord, this is the very definition of a push poll.

The deck is stacked all the way through. Although hugely unscientific, I participated in it anyway, just to poke a finger in their eye.

[OneAngryDemocrat]

70. Misleading Right-Wing Push Polls as a Social Issue Not Mentioned?

LOL!

[kimbutgar]

36. That was so much fun.

I put FDR, President Obama and Abraham Lincoln as my favorite political leaders. I hope their heads explode!

[Populist_Prole]

39. Man, talk about loaded questions!

I gave the most "left" answer just out of spite in many cases. What a BS survey. I always thought the Heritage foundation was a libertarian organization ( I know I know, economic libertarian ) but the way they phrased the questions they really are nothing short of facists.

[TeamPooka]

42. What a slanted survey

Unnamed concern: legalize cannabis, prohibition is a failed public policy

[treestar]

44. Hilarious

They couldn't even keep the questions neutral.

[Glorfindel]

46. Thank you! That's the most fun I've had this week.

I'm afraid they will fail to include our answers in their "results," though.

[southernyankeebelle]

48. Thanks I completed it twice. I left before I was finished. It accepted it twice I guess.

[avebury]

49. Done and I am going to have to fill it out again to get some more

issues in.

[FiveGoodMen]

51. I think the Heritage Foundation already knows what THEY want

and doesn't really care what WE want.

Survey, or no survey, don't expect them to change.

[Denninmi]

52. Oh, they aren't going to like my answers.

I'm sure they'll toss them.

[hunter]

55. I'm sure they're throwing away the no $ surveys. But it was fun.

In my perfect world I could enter negative dollars and they'd have to pay me for wading through their bullshit.

[AsahinaKimi]

56. done

and sent to a friend.

[retread]

57. "Other Cultural and Social Problems?"

Too many billionaire-funded propaganda institutes posing as think tanks!!

[Smilo]

59. What a POS loaded survey..................

My answer to how to stop illegal immigration:

Prosecute the CEOs/owners of companies that hire illegal immigrants - that would stop the hiring of illegal immigrants - no jobs available - no illegal immigration.

What should we do about the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S.?
Of course they are talking about those South of the border - so I put.....
Follow up on those who have over stayed their visas and deport.


Your 2012 Election Year Survey has been Received!

Thank you for filling out your Heritage Foundation 2012 National Election Year Survey.

We’ll tabulate your answers and use the results in our work with candidates for office so that they know where conservative like you stand on these crucial issues.

As you know, America faces many grave problems, from unprecedented spending and debt levels that are leading to bankruptcy to cuts to our military that make us less safe, and a record number of oppressive job-killing regulations that are doing unfathomable damage to our economy.

That’s why The Heritage Foundation is fighting back against the left’s radical agenda. Our experts are working tirelessly to spread our conservative message to members of Congress and grassroots Americans through a flood of op-eds, reports, and blog posts, frequent appearances on national TV and radio programs, events with members of Congress and policy experts, and much more.

[Erose999]

60. "Which 3 political leaders do you most admire?" Sanders, Kucinich, Grayson. LOL thanks for asking.

[Egalitarian Thug]

61. K&R&LOL. Do you suppose they can even say push poll?

Done.

[horseshoecrab]

62. 5. Do you have a cultural or social policy concern not mentioned here? If so, what is it?

I said yes - and said that a woman should have free access to birth control and control of her body - including her vagina.

That's perhaps not what they're looking for, but hey... there ya go.

[tanyev]

67. I said I was concerned that Republicans were creating a fundamentalist Christian theocracy.

Heh.

[nadinbrzezinski]

63. What political leaders you must admire

FDR, Kennedy and Lincoln... by today's standards they were all liberals, and none would be in the GOP, Hell, Reagan as well, and he could never be a Republican either, that is how far right you have taken the country.


Somebody might have a stroke,

[silvershadow]

64. That was fun, thanks! I don't think I had to register

as a previous poster talked about. I answered all the questions and then it said they had been received. Of course, it then wanted to collect my info and asked me to donate...lol

[evilhime]

66. Oh that was fun

i wonder how long until my responses hit the circular file . . .
