How do I get the repugs from calling?

[CelticWinter]

I must have had 10 calls in the past week and a half and I have no clue how they got my number its unlisted. Voter registration office maybe? :shrug:
Anyway when they say who they are I just say NOT IN THIS LIFETIME and hang up but its a NUISANCE to say the least.

1. They are probably just dialing

all numbers in the sequence.

Or, there are many, many places that have your phone number, and yes, the voter registration rolls is one of them.

2. what're you Wearing?

is the appropriate question. they'll stop.

3. You Shouldn't Want Them To Stop

Look, I'm not worried about them converting you. If they could do that you wouldn't be here. So every minute they spend on the phone with you is one minute they are not available to be out there corrupting the mind of someone less strong willed. That's one way to look at it.

Keep them on the line as long as you can. Have fun with it. Act undecided.

4. Tell the caller to take you off their list

Tell them, "I'm not interested. Take me off your list and do not contact me again."

It's always worked for me.

5. Wear garlic around your neck...

They're afraid of that stuff, even over the phone ;)

6. Pretend you're undecided! Engage them in conversation for...

...about an hour.

Then tell them to come by and pick you up on Tuesday, because you want to vote but you're disabled.

You already know what address to give them. ;)

7. lol Thanks for the ideas

I could see them coming to pick me up on Tuesday and seeing the sign in the window....."GIVE BUSH THE BOOT" lol...would make their day wouldnt it.
I think I will keep them on the phone longer the next time and play the 'undecided' role. And maybe I will ask...Whats the skull and bones, who was georgies grandpa and who did he do business with, what Bohemian Grove, whats PNAC about, is georgie gay he always holds hands with the saudis, and why on Aug 6, 01 when they knew something was going on they didnt tell us. That ought to piss em off enough to get the picture.
Thanks
