democratic party calling you
Published Nov 15, 2008Views: 169
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 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.

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