Last minute tactic by the Dems?

Question

Yesterday while I was at work, a group of fellow employees was calling everyone in the phone book with Maryland to see if they will vote for D(George Johnson). I decided to listen in a few calls and it didn't sound pretty. 90% of the calls were hang up. The rest were either voting straight Democrat or since you called I'm voting Republican.

And the Dems want to talk about Bush not respecting the rights of Americans? What do you call that? Calling people at 8:30-9:00 at night seeing if they will vote for Dems. That's shows you right there how twisted the Dems are in their false message of protecting Americans privacy.

Rock on GOP!!!!

Answer 1

We sat watching Tv last night. And both of us were glad that the whole thing would be over today. We received many calls... and one interesting call from Governor Grandholm-Mi. She stated that 'this is the last time I'll call you',.... then magically, she called AGAIN. Talk about not keeping personal promises!!!

Another 'funny' one this morning . . .Jesse Jackson called. . ... . Thank God for 'delete' buttons

EDIT* - Unbelievable... . I just got another call from Grandholm.. .I politely asked why she has her campaign continue to call after she 'promised' that they wouldn't call again.

Answer 2

Sounds like what the Republican party has been doing, annoying people and claiming to be Democrats. That story broke two days ago on NBC.

What we should really be asking is how, with all the intense background investigation that goes on of anyone allowed to get close to bush, how could they not have been aware of what he was doing? Not matter what loud and indignant rant a bush-league can come up with, the fact remains that bush could Not have been unaware of what haggard was doing.

The same applies to members of congress. Remember that the elder bush was CIA director before he became reagan's puppet master, the current bush administration has the most powerful tool that ever existed for digging up a person's past (or inventing one). Whatever dirt they find becomes political leverage.

So foley and the other gay rights had also to have been known to bush.

What does all this say about republican claims about supporting normal sexual relationships and family values? It is time for the republican party, which I have been a member of for half a century, to go the way of the Dodo Bird.

It is not last minute tactics, real or trumped up, that we should be concerned about, but the long term duplicity and outright sin that the republican cult has been engaged in

Answer 3

The GOP was told by a court to stop placing automated calls to potential voters in New Hampshire. Automated calls to people on the do no call list are illegal.
If they ignore the law in New Hampshire I have no trouble believing that the GOP will ignore the law in another state. The scenario you described is not illegal and is not an invasion of privacy. You're trying to equate those calls to the warrant less wiretapping program and that demonstrates clearly that you don't understand the issue.

Answer 4

right...the call i got was from a republican automated calling service with a recording telling me how a vote for democrats is a vote for the terrorists they dont even have enough support to have a live person on the phone. and all it was about was fear and smear not one word about a plan except stay the course. this tells me exactly how out of touch they are with real americans not enough courtesy to even have a real person on the phone....by the way that call came in at 930 pm

Answer 5

I actually got more phone calls begging me to vote Republican. I hung up on both parties that called me. I really don't have time to sit and listen to some bias person tell me why I should vote their way. I don't make up my mind that way. There really isn't anything you can say to me the night before election day that will change my vote. I think it is a waste of time, personally.

Answer 6

First of all,your 19-year old question is pretty bogus.

After all the:

-viscous,untrue attack ads by Republicans
-your blatant refusal to acknowledge Republican scandals
-your sticking by Bush's deadly mistakes in Iraq

I'd say you "Rockon!Republicans" sounds pretty much in the vein on a Mark Foleyu or Haggard or ick Santorum,if you catch me drift.
Me-frickin-yeow!!!!!!!!

ROCK ON DEMOCRATS!
TAKE BAXCK AMERICA FROM THE FACISTS!

Answer 7

LAST MINUTE DIRTY POLITICS BY RNC!

In Illinois the RNC PAID for a prerecorded phone message that went out to registered democrats in which then impersonated Democratic Candidates, lied about their platforms and these calls went out at ELEVEN O'CLOCK AT NIGHT...specifically to piss off registered Dems so they wouldn't go vote!

Answer 8

You want to talk about last minute tactics, then what about the Maryland GOP that actually called thousands of black voters in 2004 giving them the wrong day for Election Day?

Answer 9

Republicans made multiple AUTOMATED push poll calls to voters over the last few days. Each call consisted of unsupported smears or blatant distortions about the candidates. This was done nationwide. Check yesterday's paper.

Answer 10

It's called "get out the vote" Jackass! Both party's do it. I'm sick of looking at Mark Kennedy on TV bashing Amy all the time but do I post questions whining about it? Nope...
