I just got a "robocall"
from the "judicial action network"... the first question was "do you support a Judge on the supreme court that upholds Family values?"

well I answered "NO" and then it asked "if I had ever donated to a Political party or church?"
"Yes" was my answer.
then it asked if I were over "50"?
NO
then it hung up...


What the hell!!!

those fuckers are asking loaded biased questions. and if you do not answer the way they want they disregard you answers...
(I studied this type of shit in college)

Look out for these "results" to come out later this week. (pushed by the gop or affiliate no doubt)

1. I got the same call 30 minutes ago.
Hung up right after they said "upholds Family values". I don't do RW push polls.

11. Forget how to troll?
If it's their nickel, you should keep them on the line, feed them what they want, get out the shovel and give them a BIG load of bullshit. I like to add in a little foreign accent, so they get internally conflicted -- "why am I talking to this untermensch, but yet, he does seem to be swallowing the load of crap I have to sell...".

15. Live and learn. I already know they hang up on you if you give the "wrong" answer.
It's a waste of time to try to skew RW polls.

2. WHose family?
Whose values?

Of course I want my family's values reflected in our court system. Honesty, justice, compassion, those are my family's values.

6. You wanna easy way to weed those out?
All you have to do, is answer and say hello. If you do not hear anything for 3 seconds, hang up immediately. The software these call centers use, takes about 5 seconds to determine if it is an answering machine, and after that, it takes another 1 to 3 seconds to forward it off to the robot auto-attendant, or to the cube-rat that is ready to interrupt your dinner.

10. Ya know I truly wonder
if the republicans view churches as political parties? (un-taxed and unregulated political parties) but still I wonder if they cannot tell the difference?
