Getting alot of calls from the Bush campaign (or proxys)
are they just calling everyone in my zip code (suburbia) or do they have crappy information. We're definitely the wrong house to be calling.

1. Same here. I think they just call every voter in a certain district
Thankfully, she just left a message that Bush is counting on our vote. You betcha he can count on our two votes for a ticket back to Texas.

2. Keep them on the phone
We need to keep them on the phone so they can't call more people. Ask them a bunch of questions about Bushes policies.

3. We get a lot of calls from Delay and Reynold's office
inviting my biz partner to "a dinner with pres. bush". It must be because we are incorporated, they automatically assume we are fascist pigs. I was polite the first few times. Now I am telling them to fuck off. And they still keep calling every other day! :p

4. I've got a few some time ago
finally I told them that they were wasting their time with me. He told me that we must have donated money tot he RNC in the past, otherwise we wouldn't be getting the calls. I assured him that couldn't be true. He said, well, perhaps your wife did and didn't tell you. I told him that sounded like what a Republican wife might do, but my DFLer for life wife wouldn't do so. :jerk:

7. LOL, great reply
Earlier this year we were getting those glossy photos of Bush and Cheney, or perhaps their wives, don't know. Until, I suppose, that web page of donors was updated and I was there as donating to Edwards.

We subscribe to the WSJ - I wonder whether that's where they got the list - in their pea-sized brain they think that anyone who subscribes to the WSJ has to be a Republican.

All they need to do is look at many of the WSJ online polls and comments about Bush's State of the Union speech, about the debates, even about Kerry's comment about Mary Cheney to find that Bush is not considered the great savior of the Republic by many subscribers.

6. No calls but have got a couple of mailings this week
They must have more money than clues if they're mailing stuff to me.

One of my co-workers who lives in a strong DFL section of Mpls (what part isn't?) told me that it seemed every household in her neighborhood had been mailed an absentee ballot application by the MN GOP.

8. keep them on the phone for as long as possible!
saying you are undecided is a good way to peak their interest and it's fun too!

9. Great Advice
Plus you can keep them from getting to talk to more undecided voters who might fall for their BS.
