I just got call today from a phone solicitor.
I own a small business and we get phone solicitors calling all the time. This one was selling advertising, I told him we had no more money budgeted for advertising. He said it would not be due until next spring if that would help. He still was trying to make is sale. I told him to call me after the election and mabey things would be different. I told him if we get a change from the last 3.5 years I hopefully could help him. In an agreeing voice he said he understood completly. I just wonder how times a day he hears about small businesses struggling in the Bush economy.

1. I got a call last night...
a voice recording from the Republican party slamming our Dem candidate for Senator. I just hung up, but it pissed me off.

2. I got a call from Ricky Schroeder
Gave me the low down on Bush being a big hunter and 2nd Amendment protector. Seems Kerry was going to take it all away. Desperate times I guess.

I wasn't aware of his iconic status among NRA members, hunters & gun owners!

6. Don't ask
Schroder is part of the Kelsey Grammer, Drew Carey and Bo Derek brain trust of Hollywood. They schill willingly for the Right including speaking on behalf of the NRA.

3. And maybe he hasn't always been a phone solicitor
He may have had a better job, 3.5 years ago.

5. Oops!
When I first read your comment, I thought you were talking about Ricky Schroeder. It fits.

7. Call Last Night From A Repuke
A repuke trying to plug a MN Repuke called me last night. He didn't want to say which party this politician was with. I kept asking, he kept saying "What does that matter??", I told him that the candidate must be a republican if he didn't want to admit it. He finally said yes, he was with the republican party. I told him that I didn't even allow repukes in my yard let alone vote for one! And that he better never call my home again.
