This robo-call tops all the others...
I just got a robo-call from the repubs that absolutely flabbergasted me:

paraphrased - "Do you hate robo-calls? Well, so do I. If you elect Republicans tomorrow, we promise to stop all robo-calls....blah, blah, blah"

At this point I hung up in disgust. I've received probably 35 to 40 calls in the last week- easily 95% of them were from damn Repubs - AFTER calling their RNCC hq and repeatedly requesting to be removed from calling lists, after calling local Repub congresswoman (Johnson - CT-05). BTW, the ones from Dems were positive - come on out to vote. The repubs were ALL slams against dems.

Just one more example of their hypocrisy and gall. :mad:

1. the "vote for us and we'll stop pestering you" campaign?
Wow. What a stupid concept...especially since the robocalls will stop after tomorrow regardless of who you vote for.

:wtf:

2. It's like throwing shit on you
and then giving you treatment for the flies.

Can't say I relish the visual with that, but, so true!

4. Quite so!!!
If I had the patience to stay on the phone and listen, I'd bet they might have been going the "we'll make them illegal" route. And then they'd go ahead and still do them anyway. IOIYAR.

8. They just get more bizarre and annoying by
the minute. Apparently not as good at targeting as they claim to be!
