Nightline just did a piece on McCain's robocalling

Edited on Fri Oct-17-08 11:05 PM by always_saturday

It was very critical (and mocked how hysterically alarmist the ads sound) and ended with "the next time the phone rings at dinnertime, don't believe everything you hear."

2. that's great! I hate to think of all of those people SCARED by these

awful calls.

I talked to a freeper on Youtube and they are terrified. So sad. They have no idea.

They say they're afraid of what Obama will do. I asked them what could Obama possibly do that hasn't already been done by the GOP?

let's see what the GOP has done for us:

2 wars
Great Depression II
illegally politicized DoJ
No checks and balances
decimated constitution
both POTUS and VPOTUS wanted internationally for war crimes
VPOTUS ducking subpoenas
signing statements which indicate we are not a democracy but a Fascist country
etc...

15. And the Katrina-FEMA-Homeland Security clusterf*ck.

Don't forget that whole scene that's still playing out for thousands on the Gulf Coast--and I'm sure in not unfolding any better or more smoothly for the Galveston survivors of Ike.

3. Don't robocalls piss voters off more than sway them?

6. Better yet do not answer any caller you do not know. We do it with

emails it is time to do it with the telephone.

8. I hang up on Robo calls. Hate them, no matter who makes them.

If I get one of those calls, I will not hang up. If they are stuck talking to me, they will not be calling someone else sooner. I think we should all do that.

Use the link and let 'em know what you think.

When our Main Stream Media does stuff that benefits We The People, we should encourage such behavior by giving them a little love. I suggest to you all that this needs to become a habit that gets spread.
