Bush* phone bank caller ID 000-0000
I've received 2 calls from the Bush* operatives first one a few days ago 763-000-0000 and tonight 952-000-0000. I actually listened to tonights caller hoping to get into a conversation and asking her how much she was being paid to make these calls but she hung up on the last word of her speech which was basically "Kerry gonna raise your taxes blah blah Kerry ...taxes,,, blah blah" I actually felt that it was a rude interaction and don't think any undecided voter would have appreciated that nonsense. Anyone else getting any of these Calls?

1. Not me - there was a message on the answering machine
stating that it was a political survey call and that they might call back. Never did though.

2. Screw with them....
Tell them you don't have a job, because it got outsourced, thus do not pay taxes. Query the caller--so, you make more than $200K a year? Wow, aren't you lucky! Why are you making these calls? What is your name? Any kids? Tell them your unemployment ran out, and you are thinking of going into prostitution to pay the bills and to pay for your needed medical care, cuz you lost your health insurance. Lay it on with a trowel. Keep them on the line--the longer you mess with them, the fewer "undecideds" they reach.

3. I love getting calls from Bush drones
I got one that no matter what I said good about Kerry, the only counter was BUT HE'S GOING TO RAISE YOUR TAXES!

Not mine, I said, since I don't make over $200,000 and I could almost hear her gears grinding to a halt as if it hadn't occured to her that someone might not earn enough to benefit from Bush's tax robbery.

5. What hadn't occurred to her...
was that anyone making less than that would be smart enough to realize they're not benefiting from the tax giveaway to the wealthy!

Point two--before getting nasty with these callers, find out if they're volunteers. If not, they're probably poor schlups working minimum wage because their jobs have been outsourced--their health insurance and unemployment benefits gone...maybe they won't even vote for Bush, just can't stand the idea of their children going to bed hungry--or--a little sympathy that direction might sway a vote.

Spread the word where you can.

None are so blind as those who will not see.

7. I never get calls from rethugs.
They probably don't bother with people who are on Dumbyass's enemies list.
