Utah firm hired to smear Romney?

The least you could be is HONEST.
As to *push* or whatever word one cares to apply, each person has the capacity and responsibility to decide if they care to be tallied in such manner! As to MR specifically, I haven't paid too much attention to him (except as noted by friends whose opinion I respect) and won't unless, as stated previously, he becomes the representative for his party.
A distasteful push-poll was the one George Bush and Karl Rove instigated against John McCain years ago: "Did you know McCain has an illegitimate black baby?" (The McCains had adopted the child, but that didn't stop Bush and Rove.)
Yet most of Utah, who knew about that, voted for Bush.
The mind boggles, but you all got what you voted for.
Who else BUT Romney would hire a Utah company to do that? Boggle again, Utah.
If everyone would just IGNORE the IGNORANT idiots who are push polling or whisper campaigning and look at the track records of those running, then the candidates who are running would all be on the same page and we can look at the issues and compare apples to apples.
Whether you are in Utah or another state (I deplore how MY state voted in the last election), it behooves all of us to STUDY THE CANDIDATES AND THEIR ISSUES ... NOT their religion.
to NO SMEAR: You just did.
The only purpose for such questions, is to help MR decide whether he needs to come out and make a statement regarding his religious beliefs (like JFK did before the 1960 election.
I don't know why people are so offended by this. To those that are: WHICH questions were misleading?
But hey, keep blaming Clinton. Because the Bible (Fox News, Rush and Hannity) tell you so.
Blame Clinton: Sorry, the worst presidents in my lifetime are, in ascending order: Johnson, Clinton, Carter, Nixon, Ford.

However,as a former Utahn, & even a former Western Wats employee, I was disgusted by the push polling from my local candidate and am equally disgusted by the push polling against Mitt Romney or anyone else.
That method is not how I choose to get information, if I am polled I want to give the info, & not be slimed in the form of a twisted question. It's like some creep in a trench coat sidling up to whisper, "Psssst--did you know...." & flashing porn just to try to dissuade you from voting for someone. Very creepy!
If anyone polls you at all this year, JUST SAY NO!
