Move America Forward, an extremist Republican group, has an
online poll about John Bolton. It would be great to have their own poll highlight how extreme they are.
Unfortunately, it requires registration.
Right now, the poll asks:
"Do you support President Bush's choice of John Bolton to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations?"
218 votes say yes
15 say no
1 unsure
Up until about an hour ago (when Steve Clemons posted this), there was only one vote against. With such a small sample, Kossaks can take over the poll.
I already receive emails from every conservative group I can, including Move America Forward, so I was already registered - but some may blanche at the prospect (you need to give a real email address).
Here are the contents of the most recent Move America Forward email on Bolton:
Dear Friends,
We're sending you this message based on your recent interest in
international affairs and the United Nations.
While each of us may differ on our views regarding the U.N. - some
think it is a worthy organization that can be saved from its current
failures... others believe it is hopelessly broken - we can all agree
that now more than ever the United States needs a strong voice to
stand up for America's interests.
The man nominated to serve as the next U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.,
John Bolton, is a man of honor and accomplishment who will help to
clean up the corruption, fraud and anti-Americanism of the United
Nations. He's someone we can count on to stand up to Kofi Annan and
help clean up the U.N., all the way to the Secretariat's office.
You can join our effort to "Support John Bolton" by going online to

We are pleased to report that over 10,000 people visited our "Support
John Bolton" page in just the first 24 hours we had it up. And the
campaign is growing stronger each day.

Later this week we will unveil the first TV commercial in our "Support
John Bolton" television ad campaign.
We're going to make sure that the American people join this effort to
do something about the problems that plague the United Nations.
This is a broad effort... conservatives who want to get rid of the
failed United Nations have joined with progressives who recognize that
the U.N. coddles nations that undermine the rights of women, gays,
lesbians, and the disabled.
Were the U.N. to have been left to its own devices, freedom would not
now be sweeping through the Middle East.
These are the type of issues we can count on John Bolton to address.
But only if he wins Senate confirmation.
Please - take action now. Go online to http://www.MoveAmericaForward.org
and click the "Support John Bolton" button to find out how you can get
involved!
Sincerely Yours,
Howard Kaloogian

P.S. Thank you to all of you who have contributed to our "Get the U.N. Out of the U.S." campaign. Your generous financial support will enable us to purchase significant airtime on national television networks as part of our "Support John Bolton" effort.
Despite the fancy language, one glance at the MoveAmericaForward website reveals exactly who they are: the black helicopter crowd - that's got to come to the forefront.
