Jeesh! 1st I had to turn off the tube because of the awful ads - now I
am having to disconnect my phone. They are coming at me from everywhere. And I really don't appreciate all of this.

The ads of the tube are just god awful. Horrible, untrue negative rants - mostly from the Republicans.

Then they starting coming over the phone. Got one yesterday from Kit Bond. They had it rigged up so that he even called me by name - as if.

I probably will go vote a straight Democratic ticket just for the hell of it.

Oh, the horror, the horror.

1. Its those pre-recorded messages
that drive me nuts. You answer the phone and wait, then finally a canned advertisement for the politician comes on. I wish we could get political calls banned just like unsolicited advertising calls.

2. I think some people are trying to do just that.
I got one from Jean Carnahan tho, so it is both Dems and Repugs. And so far they haven't been nasty - not like the ones on the tube. I absolutely hate those ads. I won't listen to them.

4. I don't know. I think they did get some cell phones here.
One woman said she wasn't going to vote because they got here on her cell phone - and used her minutes. So far no one has called on my cell phone.

I will be so glad when this is all over.
