I forgot to tell you all about a phone call I got a few days back

For some reason I'm on some republican mailing list and I get alot of junk mail and occasionally phone calls (surveys, asking for money). Well, this lady calls me and starts really bad mouthing Pelosi and she says that "we're going to do the same thing to her that we did to Daschle".

Then she asks if I can make a donation, perhaps $250? I didn't want to blow my cover because this kind of shit is entertaining, so I told her I was flat busted broke right now. She says, "well then how about $150"!!

I guess if you're a flat busted broke republican you can still scrape up $150. Anyway, looks like the will be attacking her big time very shortly.

2. That's interesting....

It proves there is a planned conspiracy to get Pelosi. It also proves they used the media to do their dirty work against Daschle.

3. I think you did good to lead her down a garden path. You know the

big thing in fighting sociopaths is to not give them any information on yourself. So the more you can not give their machine anything personal about yourself ...the better. They will not know who to attack or who to coerce if you just give them nothing when they call.

Give them nothing. Good move!!

4. Keep them on the phone as long as you can

That's my tactic when I get one of these calls. I won't hang up. I keep blathering on. I make them hang up on me.

5. Don't you know, to a Repub "Being Broke" means

the dividend check hasn't arrived yet.

Either that - or she expects everybody lies all the time. ;-)

7. So, did you send a message to Nancy? And who were these people?

If you would like to contact the office of Rep. Pelosi, we suggest calling the DC office at 202-225-4965, the San Francisco office at 415-556-4862, or email sf.nancy@mail.house.gov

8. I can't believe Nancy isn't aware of them wanting to take her down

And I don't know who it was she was representing - she said in her first sentence - I think it was the RNC, but I couldn't swear to it.
