democratic party calling you

Published November 15, 2008

Got a phone call yesterday that I just had to share with my GOLO friends. It was the Democratic Pary wanting to thank me for my vote  for Obama, (I'm registered Dem. doesn't mean I vote that way all the time). The lady proceeds to tell me all the wonderful things Obama's going to do for me and the country. Then she goes on to thank me for my vote of confidence for Bev Perdue. (Huh?), and how she's going to turn this state around. She continues with how the Democratic Party has been very anxious to have someone in the White House again, so they can help all the families like me out there that have been hurt by these tough "economic times" thanks to Bush's politics. And how for a mere $58.00 (where'd they get that number), I can continue to guarantee the strong work of the Democrats. That's when I just had to interrupt her, I really tried not to laugh. I told her I voted McCain.. "HUH, REALLY"??? was her reply, then I told her I really felt that my $58.00 is happier in my pocket, and that I was sure they'd get it eventually with or without my support. Beware of big smiles and promises, the whole time they're blinding you with their teeth, they're reaching around and grabbing your wallet.

I am a registered Democrat and have not gotten any phone calls.

I really want to see the picture at the top of the blog, but I can't make it out.

What did they do with all of the donations Obama got? Last I heard, there was about $65 mil left about a week before the election.

God bless.

The DNC is 15 million in debt. That's why they're calling around for donations.

Meanwhile, Obama is giving away laptops and Blackberry's to his voluteers as well as paying their salaries through the end of the year.

maybe they are finally trying to help Hillary pay off her campaign debt

I don't remember the ladies name, but she did give one. She said they were hoping to recieve before the end of the year. I feel pretty sure she was legitimate, doesn't make it right though. I didn't ask them to spend all those millions on the election.

Tax and spend. I guess they thought they would try to ask for a donation before they started taxing.

Sound fishy to me...I'm a registered Democrat and I didn't get a call. I'm looking to get my $1000 asap, not give money away.

I didn't vote for Obama. I got in the booth, and the thoughts of abortion, and me being support via judges appointed & regulation of ending lives came over me and I just could NOT make the mark. I can't vote Republican, but I did at the state level in all but a few exceptions. I didn't want to write in Nader, for Nader doesn't want the votes in a state where his votes could sway the difference in a close race, but there was the libertarian, and there was just not voting.

I hope I get the call so I can ask who is calling me and for numbers to complain.

Unknown callers HATE me worse than I hate them. I have gotten to the point that if it says unknown...I mash the green button...I wait three seconds...I mash the red button....DONE.

As I see it, this is another way we can get all help reduce the death grip of the two parties. Stop giving them money.
