I just had the BEST phone call! [View All]

I run a small business in Orlando and yesterday I had a message from NRCC chairman Tom Reynolds to call his office. Of course I didn't. So they called me and wanted me to become a honorary board member of their Business Advisory Council. I asked why I would want to do that and the woman said so I could have face to face meetings with the "people in charge" to give them my opinions. I asked her what made her think they were interested in my opinions, and she answered that they really want to meet with business people who are concerned about lowering taxes and keeping Republicans in office. I told her I wanted to raise taxes because it's the only way we are going to lower the national debt. She said I would also receive confidential surveys to help inform them of the business community. So I told her I would love to have a survey and how did I go about obtaining it so I could tell them what I thought of their legislation. All I had to do was give them $500 or $700 to pay for an ad in the Wall Street Journal saying how much I supported the republican party and their platform. So I said I didn't support their platform at all and I wasn't going to pay for an ad supporting them at all. But, but, it would have my name on it and I would receive a copy suitable for framing. So I told her that I thought in the last five years the republican party had ruined my beloved country economically, internationally, and constitutionally and I would never ever again support the republican party again. A little lie since I never supported them in the first place, but they just made that assumption because I owned a business. Damn! that felt good.
