Friend received an aggressive push poll call today in support of Selma Pierce, running for OR House against @PaulEvansOregon. It identified Pierce as an independent (untrue) & asked which of 3 statements about Evans (all of them untrue) would make them less likely to vote 4 him.
When asked, the caller would not identify who had paid for the poll. I assume Pierce chose to be falsely identified as an independent because our district is fairly purple and it's a tough time to be a Republican. Seems duplicitous, if not strictly illegal. #orpol
The previous day I had received another @gop-friendly push poll call in support of @KnuteBuehler which also pushed the conservative line on several ballot measures. I have not received and do not know anyone who has received Democratic-leaning push poll calls in Oregon.
For those hoping that states like Oregon might lead the way in bringing the @gop back to some semblance of reasonableness...these two recent experiences of mine suggest that this is not likely to be the case.
The Oregon's @gop's Dorchester Conference this year squares with this conclusion. Here's a picture of their keynote speaker, Roger Stone, posing with some Proud Boys in the hotel lobby...a pic which was retweeted by Alex Jones.
And here's a thread from back in March offering a fuller account and interpretation of that conference.
