I just got called by the Obama campaign. They asked for a donation.
I let the woman finish her schpiel (sp?) and asked if she was aware about Obama's association with unrepentant terrorist William Ayers.
They then said that it was disinformation and asked for $250.00.
I then asked the Obama campaign worker if she was aware that Obama is a socialist.
She didn't know how to respond to that, but then asked me if I would like to contribute $100.00 to the Obama campaign.
I asked her if she knew that Obama wants to dismantle our military and help our enemies by weakening the United States.
She said, "Well, how about $50.00, would you be comfortable donating $50.00 to the Obama campaign?"
Holy crap, can these people take a hint?
I said that I could not contribute $50.00 to the Obama campaign.
She asked me how much I would be comfortable with donating to the Obama campaign.
I said zero cents.
She said "what?"
I said "zero dollars and zero cents!"
She then asked me if I would like to contribute to Democratic candidates running for Congress.
I said "what???"
She repeated the question.
I finally told her that I am a proud American, I served in the U.S. military, and there was NO WAY IN HELL that I would vote for a terrorist-associating, communist candidate who is anti-American and who would destroy this country!!!!!
Getting the clue, (AT LAST!), she said "Thank you for your time and have a pleasant evening."
I had exactly the same thing happen to me with an RNC solicitor after the 2006 election. I went off on them about how rotten the Repubs were and it was if I was speaking to a recording. They kept going down in amount with every issue I brought up. I finally told them they were out of their mind and hung up.
LOL!!!
I wish they would call me. I would act like I was interested in giving the maximum amount and then tell them “just a minute while I go get my credit card”. Set the phone down and then check back in about an hour. You know it would be very hard for them to hang up the phone!
If they hung up and called back later, I would say “funny, after you hung up on me, a more patient McCain campaigner called, so I gave to them”.
Not Obama, but I’ve had Planned Parenthood call on behalf of Al Franken. Me, a staunch pro-lifer had fun with the caller.
” got a call from an Obama volunteer a few days ago. I just said “I’m voting for McCain” and hung up.”
They actually prefer that; sucking up their time is better.
Or get them to commit to absurd positions. “OH, I am so happy he will have reparations for blacks. I want my check.” Etc.
