1. idiot woman caller says she "represents most Americans who
don't really care about Abramoff scandal." She claims there are "more important things" to be concerned about.

I just don't get these Koolade drinkers.

Earlier a caller said that she supported Bush 100%. Then she went on to say that the government doesn't care about middle class Americans who are losing their jobs. She referred to them as "they>" I can't help but wonder if she can't put two and two together. The GOP is in power in DC yet she refers to some mythical "they" who are causing her financial pain. She obviously refuses to see that Bush and the "they" tow whom she refers are one and the same.

3. Heard her; why doesn't the corruption of people that supposedly
represent her bother her? All issues affected nationally start there. :eyes:

Edited on Fri Jun-23-06 08:37 AM by burythehatchet
are provided talking points and told to call by the thousands of Karl Rove wannabees all over the country. When they are questioned at all they are stumped.

9. I agree.....some of these callers are
Netvocates (www.netvocates.com). They are paid trolls and they are sent out by the right-wing nut jobs to spread their propaganda on internet bulletin boards and and call-in talk shows.

They are paid to make us think that our views are in the minority....and it works!

2. Did you hear that lady who said she just didn't care?????
I couldn't believe what I was hearing! She said the MSM is making this out to be a big deal, but she has no interest in it at all!

Oh God, here's ANOTHER caller who doesn't care, but she says they're only prosecuting the Pubs, and letting the Dems get away with everything! McCain is a Democrat!

8. Thank God a woman "who cares" about discussing these
lobbying and financial scandals has called in and now I hear another...WHEW!

I have tried calling C-Span literally dozens of times and have NEVER gotten through.

Now I hear a gentleman caller saying that those idiot women who "didn't care" about the scandals were "playing a game."

Listen, I want all cheaters in government to be investigated and prosecuted for their crimes regardless of what party they may be in. I don't uphold Democratic cheats any more than I do Republican cheats.
