Give me your best suggestion --
I was horrified to find an e-mail from John McCain in my mailbox tonight. I have no idea how I got on the list. (It was saying he'd accepted the nom for Prez, and asked for a donation. It began "My Friends" - I'm not kidding.)

Anyway, I'm going to unsubscribe. My reason (they give you a few options) is that I don't support John McCain.

But - there's a field for comments! What should I say? That his choice in VP disappointed me and I'll be voting Libertarian? That I felt his acceptance speech didn't address any of my concerns? What????

Eagerly awaiting your creative input, and thanking you in advance. :hi:

10. Okay, so how do I convey that in the context of explaining how he lost
my (imaginary) vote?

If I could cite something he did, that would be perfect.

13. He's so right wing that the only way you could do it is as a Paul
supporter who thinks he's too liberal.

4. Maybe only after I tell him WHY he's lost my vote.
(He doesn't need to know he never had it anyway.)

7. Well, you have a point. Bottom line is he's not getting my vote.
I would just like to have it be for a REASON that they're maybe tallying.

I almost put "Because you brought up being a POW just ONE time too many!" but that was obviously bogus, so thought I'd ask the experts on DU!

:hi:

8. I was shocked at your exploitation of 9/11
so I will be voting for a real patriot, Cynthia McKinney. That'll confuse them.

9. Out of the thousands upon thousands that are sent in and need to be read...
Edited on Fri Sep-05-08 02:07 AM by Life Long Dem
The question is - will he have time to read all of those replies? He is 72 years old. :wow:

:sarcasm:

15. It's my little fantasy that they may keep a tally of WHY people are
withdrawing their support. For example, the number of people who are against Palin as VP.

11. I figured you to be a Nazi.....

Why don't you just go over board with your normal
racist sexist rants that you normally do on DU?


Tell them about all the illegall aliens that work for your
bank, cleaning the toilets and hope McCain will allow you
to keep them. I think you should mention the taxes
that you don't pay because of Bush and him.


Don't forget to congratulate him on going to
that college where your daughter went , you know
the one where the Justice department get their candidates?

Tell him, you are sorry that bastard is dead, I know you loved him freeper,
but we need more religion in this government!

Fuck Unions!

Tell him you are proud of the work he has done to bust them.



Don't forget to compliment Cindy's working class clothing


I trust you will do the right thing and support and not disrupt
any political party.


God Bless, and god bless America!

16. Well, knowing your musical taste its quite clear
that you need to do the right thing for party and country
and not drive them too far to the right.
Even though you are a Nazi.

I think if you would express to them honestly, in even
half of your true beliefs, as I described above,

you would not be doing misdirection, misinformation and
loading his dice to make a call what the nation needs.

I really think they could make a real 'hero's choice
and welcome you, to where you could really give
information to those that need the truth.

Of course, I'm talking about the Nazis, like yourself.

Not these commie leftist, that you hate so bad.

17. It might be a phishing email. If you unsubscribe they know a live person is at that address.

18. A Dear John Letter!

Dear John,

I believe you have Colorado, Virginia, Ohio, Nevada and Florida all sewn up. Please deploy yourself exclusively to the following states between now and election day:

Alaska
Michigan
Pennsylvania


Sincerely,

Another Maverick/Sudden Change Agent

19. Telling him that his choice of Palin
is so extreme that you no longer want to receive mail from him (he doesn't need to know that you wouldn't want it regardless).
