Just called my idiot congressman and screamed in the phone

[Laura PourMeADrink]

He voted YES. (Chet Edwards D-TX) I told him I would never give him money again and would work against him. Told them he was a traitor to the democratic party and why doesn't he do us all a favor and turn Republican..


won't help, but sure made me feel better.....

1. What did he vote yes on?

New appropriations for the "war"?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

3. Sorry - He voted with the Republicans to extend this war that

Bush invented ad infinitum

2. Well, you make a good lunch time conversation...

"Him" refers to the staffer you spoke to, right?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

4. Yes. The poor schmuck who answered the phone..

[Sammy Pepys]

9. Yeah...

Calls like those are part of the job.

5. I've been screaming at both

my republicant senator and congressperson's staffers for weeks. I think the Dems voted yes cause it was a fait acompli.

6. Fait accompli? Not good enough for me, especially if they don't

believe what they're voting for.

7. You've got Ron Paul, huh? I really admire him for his courage.

Chet Edwards is a schmuck. He covers Ft Hood, so he thinks that by supporting the war, he is supporting that military complex.

He pissed me off big time when he wrote me a letter when I complained about the DS Memo. Said he stood by Bush and believed he honestly thought Saddam had WMD

8. Did you actually scream at HIM, or one of his staffers?

10. Tips for screamers

I know it's a good venting device but screamers, especially repeat ones, pretty much become entertainment value for most staffers on the hill. All you'll be doing is giving them something to talk about at happy hour.
