Edited on Fri Oct-15-04 04:23 PM by madmom
working the phone bank in Ohio for Kerry, well over 75% of my calls where for Kerry only a couple die-hard asses for Booosh. One lady(?) actually said she didn't believe anything the dems said , Iraq did attack us , several murders during Clinton admin.,and no matter what I said she wouldn't believe me.I told her "try to have a nice day anyway". How can people be so stupid???? All in all it was really fun and I'll do it again next week.

Whenever I get a (D) phone bank call or see a (D) helper on the street I try to give them a compliment or say thanks.

4. I did some calling myself today. I only had one bad experience... |
|
The man on the other end said, "Toots, I'm a Ronald Reagan republican, not a godless, socialist."
I just said thank you and hung up the phone.

7. There's a godless, socialist candidate? |

Too bad you didn't ask him who that was.

5. I wonder what kind of meds she's on? |
|
She reminds me of my mother-in-law. Totally delusional. Some say it's the heart meds? A lot of these folks are on a cocktail of meds, which often include anti-depressents. I think Dick Cheney has the same problem. Some of these meds make people very paranoid and in time, totally irrational.

9. we worked from a list of registered voters. |
|
we used that list to to survey people on the most important issue, their political leanings and who they'd be voting for. It was an experience and I found that people were pretty evenly split in my corner of southwest Mich.
