Freep this Anti S-CHIP Poll - Marsha Blackburn's Most Biased Poll Ever Written
Scroll down to see the wording of possibly the most biased poll ever written. The S-CHIP poll is found on rabidly rightwing Rep. Marsha Blackburn's website (Marsha is famous thanks to David Shuster!).

Anyone can vote in this S-CHIP poll.

Freep this poll and help Tennessee tell Marsha to bring on the freakin' welfare state!

Marsha's poll:

Do you support raising taxes to expand the SCHP program that would provide health care to disadvantage children, while allowing illegal immigrants easier access to free, taxpayer-funded health care?

No -- I already pay too much in taxes and don't want to fund illegal immigrant health care.

Yes - I believe in further expanding the welfare state and creating an additional entitlement program.

Yes -- But, we need reauthorize the program as it was originally intended with minimal additional taxes.

4. The welfare state is winning!
Poor Marsha, she hasn't had a good day since David Shuster left her speechless (for once in her lousy RNC talking points life).

Thanks for your votes for "further expanding the welfare state and creating an additional entitlement program!"

7. can't even vote
Edited on Wed Oct-17-07 03:57 PM by fryguy
there isn't an option worth voting for since they all pretty much suck and are designed with an underlying message...i would vote yes, but to tie the answer in with the phrase "welfare state" or making the link between illegal immigration and health care is ridiculous.

10. I'd already been there. What a laugh!
At the time, about 95% said "Yes -- I believe in further expanding the welfare state and creating an additional entitlement program." It's still around 93%. I doubt that this is what she wanted or expected.

11. She deserves grief
for her bizarrely biased poll, among other things. I'm surprised she didn't offer this option:

"Yes, I support commie liberals."
