Another post by Hermy with only a link to Hillary's website.
Must suck to waste 1 of your 3 posts on a content devoid thread like this.

2. Hernan I hope you made your calls to Wisconsin |
|
We had decided to call Wisconsin.
BTW, I was looking at the donors and Hillary had the most donor money of any candidate in flroida.

3. It's not clear from her website |
|
Apparently she has made over a million phone calls but it doesn't say how long it took. She wants to make another million in the next three weeks though, so I seriously doubt that was a million in one day.

9. Y'all know those calls just piss people off, right? |
|
Don't call me to sell me a candidate or vinyl siding or a home loan or anything else. If I want information from you, I'll use the phone myself or find your website.
The only candidate's minions to call me were all from camp Hillary, and it didn't make me feel any better about her to be fielding robocalls at nine at night on a sunday.

Really? I talked to a woman who called for about 15 minutes. Uplifting and a relief... |
|
from all the tiresome bashing of Hillary here.

Hon, if you have 15 minutes to spare to chat with a complete stranger, criticism of Senator Clinton on DU is the least of your problems.

17. I got called by the Obama camp on election day afternoon. |
|
I politely said I had already voted before the spiel could begin. If I hadn't already voted, I believe the reminder would have been good. People get busy.
We hear all the time on here about how many calls the Obama people are making; but gee, if we mention Hillary calls, this is a negative. You glitterbabies are really obvious.

24. Huh? I'm a Kucinich supporter. I don't like either Hillary or Obama due to their stances on marriage |
|
But great job assuming but you're quite wrong. Feel free to play around with advanced search if you doubt that I'm equally critical of both of them.
I'd be just as miffed at the Obama camp if they'd been ringing my home and cell lines off the frikking hook, but all the calls I got were from team Hillary.

15. Robocalls? Howzabout roboposts in GDP. Rock'em Sock'em robot dialectics. |
|
Network gaming is all the rage. Get 6 college repubs in the dorm, all logged in to du.
3 pretend to be Obama supporters. 3 pretend to be Hillary supporters.
They proceed to instigate rancor and division. Stir some shit. Good DUers, earnest but naive, fall for it and commence battle.
Then there are the campaign volunteers. the H=44 "army" Ron Paul keyboard commandos Stormfront psyops and so on.
Quite an ecosystem.
some are starting to catch on.
operation escalation and mindfuck

21. Yeah, I did catch on. But some had to be answered anyway. |
|
I think the limited number of posts will really help that. It already has. That was a good decision, though I hope temporary.

While I'd prefer to win easily, taking it to the mats with people who are skilled in "the art of RW smear tactics" trains us all well.
Fight Hard.
Fight Strong.
and GO GO GO 2008!

28. I caucused for Obama but I want to thank you for doing this. |
|
I've done it in the past, mostly for local candidates, but I did it for Wes Clark last round.
Prior to our caucus I got only one Hlllary call. I was disappointed the person asked if I had decided. I was not, and she said thank you and hung up. If I answer the phone, I would expect more than than. She could at least have said, "I hope you decide on Hillary." of "Please go Hillary's website to see why she is a good candidate."
I got on Obama call, but wasn't home and the person left a message reminding me of my caucus and asking for support for Obama. I had already decided then.
This is hard work. I'm always polite to the people who do this because I know it is hard.
Thanks for working so hard for your candidate.

"You're invited to see Bill Clinton tomorrow! Press 1 if you plan to support Hillary in the primary..."
I did not press 1.
