Another dirty trick by Hillary ( robo-calls )

[BigD_95]

I called my parents last night to make sure they were voting for Obama.

My mom starts in on me " Did you know Obama wants to take guns away from everyone"? " Even for your own protection"


She got a robo-call from some guy for Hillary. I talked her down about it because my dad was always a big hunter & had guns. This is a dirty trick because this will hurt Obama in PA. Guns is and always was a major issue in PA. Hillary waits to the last day and starts this calling to scare people with no time for the Obama camp to respond. And let me tell you something, it will work in PA. It probably would have worked on my parents had I not called them last night.

This is a outrage and really pisses me off!

If you know anyone from PA please call them and let them know that these calls are complete BS! If there was any truth to these calls it would have been brought out weeks ago. Its done so Obama doesnt have time to respond.

Rendell knows that guns are a major issue in PA and its a dirty trick!

1. We need to tell people to hang up on those robo calls

It's a dumb way to decide who to vote for anyway.

2. My parents got the same call.

My hunter (and hunter safety instructor) dad laughed about it and said "how stupid does she think we are?" You are correct there are many who might be swayed by that call; I'm glad you were able to talk some sense into your parents.

Both my parents and my 85 year old grandmother are voting for Obama today. I did the same as you and called them last night to make sure (I'm in Texas). :hi:

3. The problem is you have to catch details and a recording of a Robo call otherwise she can deny it.

The news has talked about reports of dirty tricks robo calls yesterday but again you need recordings!!

Obama's campaign needs to ask people to volunteer to attach recording devices with vertifyable logs in them. And of course in Indiana.

If someone gains proof that it is from the Clinton campaign and not a republican computer then she will be exposed.

However, do be aware that more than likely it is Republicans trying to keep Clinton in this race longer.

Campaigns Inundate Voters -- And Attack Each Other -- With Automated Calls

Obama Attacks Hillary's Gun Record As She Attacks His Energy Record in Robocalls
By KEITH STASKIEWICZ and AVNI PATEL

April 21, 2008—

The Democratic presidential campaigns are delivering an onslaught of automated phone calls -- known as "robocalls" -- to Pennsylvania voters in the final days leading up to the state's presidential primary.

Many of the phone calls match the increasingly negative tenor of race and boost the candidates credentials with key voting groups.

For example, Pittsburgh-area residents received a recorded message from Dick Lanzoni, a local sportsman supporting Obama, who portrayed the Illinois senator as a friend to gun owners and criticized his rival's record.
..............

Lanzoni is a member of the Pennsylvania Sportsmen and Sportswomen for Obama Steering Committee. The group came to the senator's defense earlier in the month after the Huffington Post published Obama's controversial comment that small town Americans "cling to religion or guns" out of bitterness.

The Clinton campaign unleashed its own deluge of negative robocalls, including one message criticizing Obama's vote for the 2005 comprehensive energy bill.

"Every gallon of gas takes over three bucks from your pocket," the male caller explains, "so why would Barack Obama vote for a Bush-Cheney energy bill that has put $6 billion in the pockets of Big Oil?"

Both Obama and Clinton voted on the original Senate energy bill, but Clinton withdrew her support for final bill after it came out of conference committee. After the first vote, Obama stated that the bill would help his home state of Illinois by doubling the use of ethanol, and providing $85 million in subsidies for research on clean-coal technology.

Some election watchdogs and observers say they doubt the effectiveness of the thousands of calls going out from the campaigns and their supporters.

"The vast majority of people don't listen to them or hang up immediately when they pick up the phone," says Shaun Dakin, the founder of the National Political Do Not Call Registry, adding that the calls have "become so cheap that campaigns have become addicted to them, whether they work or not."

Dakin says that a remarkably high number of voters from the Pennsylvania area registered with his organization over the weekend, citing their displeasure with the calls they had been receiving.

6. I got one of those calls, but the blatant lie it was stating,

pissed me off so badly, I did not listen to the whole call.
