am fam spam

funny when things don’t turn out quite like you expect, isn’t it? imagine what they must be thinking now, the powers-that-be at the american family association. strong in their faith in a neo-con majority, they threw out their marriage survey with the confidence of a preacher facing a happy choir. surely the american people will flood our poll with just the answers we need, they thought. certainly, the american people will support our opposition. won’t they?

ah, but take a look at this little piece of spam i found waiting for me today:

Dear Thomas,

Participation in America’s Poll on Homosexual Marriage at marriagepoll.com continues at a steady pace. As of noon Saturday, December 28, the results were as follows:

* I oppose legalization of homosexual marriage and “civil unions” total votes: 201914

* I favor legalization of homosexual marriage total votes: 378691

* I favor a “civil union” with the full benefits of marriage except for the name: 52238

If you have not already voted, click here to do so. Be sure to forward the poll on to your family and friends.

Only votes that have a valid email address associated with them will be counted. We will be purging those with invalid email addresses, which may cause poll results to change somewhat.

Sincerely,
Don

Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman
American Family Association

P.S. Please forward this email to at least one friend.

    I was amused at how well my side was winning when I answered the poll. I’m definitely interested to see how they get out of presenting this to Congress. And get out of it they will. My hunch is that those who don’t respond to the follow up email will be considered invalid votes. And if they have to throw out enough votes (say half, for instance) they just rule the survey inconclusive and scrap the results.

    Meanwhile, half a million people know who’s wearing egg, and where it is.

    Perhaps I’ll forward my email and the website to my Congressman. And my Senator.
