I tend to cut off the Rethug calls as fast as I can, BUT I just realized

[pnwmom]

from something empressofall just said, that maybe there's a better approach.

When I've got a Rethug vote-pusher on the line, maybe I should let them drone on and on . . .keep it up as long as possible . . . let them think they have me.

Whatever time they're wasting on me, they're not spending on someone who might actually listen to them.

1. I wish one would call me.

I'd keep them on the line talking about abortion and how long they think the woman should get in jail for having one.

2. Good idea, but I may not be able to use it, as I only get robo-calls. nt

[sharp_stick]

4. Let the robocall play out

I try to wait until the machine hangs up, every second you tie up the line is one less person they get to harass.

3. let me get my credit card..

this will keep any caller on the line..

5. LOL

6. Hah! Good idea! n/t

[jgraz]

7. Yep, then just put down the phone and walk away.

Works for newspaper subscription calls, too.

8. And then leave them on hold! LOL n/t

9. Yup. Drag it out any way you can. Recite the Manhattan phone book

if necessary.

10. Sign up for every mailing list, newsletter, or whatever, too.

I do. I have long thought that every dime they waste sending it to me won't be spent sending it to someone else who might believe their crapola.

Besides, my birds need something to poo on in their cages, and it's such a fitting use for Republican propaganda.

11. +1

12. yes, just tell them you need to switch phones and set it down.
