Isn't it really just disgusting?

It is not polling, it is social engineering. They are not trying to discover the public's opinions, they are trying to change them, but even if they can't succeed in that, the skewing of the "data" (i.e. garbage) they collect can still be packaged into "conclusions" to deceive those to whom they are spewed.

I would like to reword the poll and unspin it:

"As you know, Obama and several congressmen are trying desperately to steal Fannie Mae Shareholder equity and convert these ill gotten gains to their own agenda in conflict with the US Constitution. Since "winding down" fannie mae will cause mass unemployment, rising interest rates, and plunging home values, do you think it is fair that congress "takes" fannie shareholder dividends, for use in their own corrupt political schemes?

1. Yes, politicians should cause millions to lose their jobs in order to get re elected and kill fannie mae, regardless of how many Americans are hurt in the process.

2. No, Crooked politicians should be put in jail instead and fannie released from C ship and they should stop playing political football with FNMA so that American citizens can again go back to work and enjoy their well deserved home ownership.

I sent an email to the American Action Forum, it would be great to see others who are more informed than I am do the same.

Dear AAF;

Your poll is so biased and disingenuous it makes me wonder how you folks sleep at night. Whoever is funding your business must have very deep pockets.

You intentionally started your poll by stating "As you may know...", that is a very duplicitous game when most people will prefer to act informed when that assumption is in their favor.

It is a FACT that the government played the biggest roll in the collapse of the mortgage market by "encouraging" lenders to provide loans to minorities who were less than able to sustain or repay those loans. It was the grossest social experiment in recent American history and it caused many people much heartache and loss.

Why don't you do a poll now and provide accurate information on the 18 or so multi billion dollar lawsuits being lost by the banks that sold Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bad loans to begin with.

How about you do a poll asking people what they actually know about the history of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and what they actually know about the truth behind what led to the housing bubble financial crisis. How about you see if people know that without Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac the 30 year mortgage would be GONE. How about you do a poll to see how many people know that these organizations do NOT have an explicit government backed guarentee, but they will if Obama and friends get their way. How about you do a poll and see if people actually want to federalize the housing market.

How about you do an honest poll rather than loading the poll with psychological bullshit.

The American Action Forum...should be placed into government receivership and its profits absorbed by the government with no restitution to the employees or stock holders or benefactors of the American Action Forum.

I look forward to the demise of your organization just the same as you are promoting very unfairly the demise of the company in which I am a shareholder.

Regards,
A Fannie Mae Shareholder.
