Dem Fundraisers Need To Watch How They Talk To Us Voters...... |
|
I just got off a call from a Dem Fundraiser trying to raise funds for upcoming Senatorial races. He went through his spiel about how they needed money and then I politely told him that the Dems need to get some things accomplished and that I need this health care to pass. He then proceeded to tell me that the problem in Congress is the Repugs fault because they are filibustering. I proceeded to tell him we gave the Dems the WH, the majority in the Senate and the majority in the House and that they aren't coming through for us. He said he's only talking for the Senate and the Repugs have 41 votes. When I started to talk again - he began to talk over me and became very argumentative. I had to tell him to stop talking and when I started talking again - he began to talk over me again - kind of like he was filibustering. I told him to call me back when healthcare passes. He was very upset with me - yelled some things again and then hung up on me.
If this is the type of people that the Dems have on the phones fundraising for them - I'm sorry - I probably won't cough up any dollars - this time around.
I'm wondering if anyone else experienced similar interactions with these fundraisers.
I don't know who this guy was - but he's giving the Dems a bad name. Don't these people get training as to how to handle us disgruntled voters that supported the Dems to get them where they are now - but are now disappointed at the results?
Somebody needs to school these telephone fundraisers so that they don't piss us off when they are asking for more money to get so little done.
