I just got an email asking me to make phone calls for McCain-Palin from home
Edited on Tue Sep-23-08 09:48 PM by thecatburgler
A while back I clicked on McCain's site to get some info about his health care plan to put on my blog. They captured my email and I've been getting updates from them ever since.

So now they want me to phone bank for them. I'm tempted to do it. :evilgrin:

"Hi, this is thecatburgler calling on behalf of Sarah Palin and John McCain! Whoopsie...I meant John McCain and Sarah Palin of course. Anyhow, I'm so excited to be helping those godly crusaders in their quest to bankrupt the US and bomb other countries into oblivion, aren't you? Don't forget to cast your vote on Wednesday November 5th! Buh bye now."

EDIT: How about I do legitimate calls, following their script? At 2AM. :evilgrin:

3. I'm jealous...How do I get McCain's phone list...
"I'd just like to let you know, Mrs. Smith, that an a convicted sexual predator, I fully support John McCain. As he said in our meeting last week..."

5. The possibilities are endless ...

"Hi, this is Roy. I'm an investment banker who just, ahem, retired with 20 million in the bank, and I'd like to tell you why I support John McCain for President."

4. DO IT
Better than calling ppl up and saying something outrageous (which will generate complaints), just call people up and gently demotivate them by sounding like you're on valium.

13. Should we make calls pretending to be for McCain or should we just tell them to vote for Obama?

That the end times are coming and that if you just read Revelations you will see that all of this financial stuff is the last trigger.

We are on the threshold of the Rapture and it will come when she hits the button with all those missle codes.

Ma'am can we count on your awesome support for our awesome God's chosen leader and Senator McCain too?

9. I can't watch the debate. LD20 is having its Clean Elections Debate that night.
Edited on Tue Sep-23-08 09:49 PM by thecatburgler
I gotta be there for my local candidates. We have an open seat in the House and a great candidate running against Huppenthal. It happens to be the exact same time as the Obama-McCain debate.

Thanks for the invite, though. :hi:

14. Or say "I'm proud to support McCain Palin to hasten the Rapture."
Won't you join us in voting for them so that we can end this miserable world and meet our lord and savior sooner ? Let us pray.

19. Talk to them about McCain's plan to repeal the equal rights amendment.
Edited on Tue Sep-23-08 09:53 PM by NYC_SKP
If they aren't repulsed by the idea, they were never gonna vote for Obama.

Everyone else will think McCain is crazy, which he is, so it's not THAT dishonest to say such things!

:evilgrin:

20. I'm squirming at the thought.
Please don't. It would be too obvious that it was a hoax.

21. Thanks - I needed a laugh!
Your post just got better and better. I started laughing, and then continued, only louder and heartier.

If I was a little more thick-skinned, I'd long on to their website to see what lies they're spewing.

I think making those calls at 2AM is priceless. Remember, tho', we're the compassionate liberals, and wouldn't do that. Don't let Rove read this, or that's what they'll start doing.

:):):)
