I got a call from a telemarketer to support newt.

Posted on 05/23/2009 7:20:10 AM PDT by freebird5850

I got a call from a telemarketer asking me to listen to a audio clip from newt. I listened to it. After t hat the lady came back on and asked if I would like my name on a petition created by Newt to stop wasteful Gov't spending, drill oil here etc. She went on and said I would get that along with his new book for a 100 dollar donation. I said I can't afford that right now. She went on further to ask if 20 would be ok. I agreed. It was explained I would receive a bumper sticker saying, Drill Here, Drill Now! Here's where it got weird. She verified my home address and then asked where I worked, saying it was some new federal requirement...sure no problem there. After that she then said that due to the urgency and short time remaining she would need my donation to be by credit card. RED FLAG! I explained I don't give that out and if you wanted my donation they would have to mail me something. Just at that time my wife called on the other line and I had to hang up. We'll see if anything comes in the mail. Has anyone else been contacted? Oh, she gave me a website called Americansolutions.com. I breifly looked at it, didn't seem to be about Newt but about energy, taxes etc.

Rest assured. Newt will be able to fix the entire world with your twenty bucks. Now go back to sleep.

Nothing new there-—he’s been raising money and this org DHDN is sponsored by Newt.

BTW—Newt is not viable and telemarketing no longer works.

If they contact YOU instead of you contacting them, they take about 85% of the proceeds, even if they are LEGIT

I never contribute over the phone. I tell them if they can’t mail me the stuff I can’t contribute, and hang up. I just got a 2009 State of the Republican Party Survey in the mail to fill out. I’m going to take a red marker and write in big letters, Palin or Cheney’s daughter or possibly Jindal, A+..... Charlie Christ, RINOS, McCains = F This is the results of your survey!

By the way what is Cheney’s daughter’s name? She is some firecracker and really needs to be in politics also!

Liz Cheney........and yes, I like her a lot as well. She’s got more political skill and presence than any GOP senator they have. They are foolish to not run her somewhere.

Cheney's daughter is a lesbian, and I would never support gay marriage.

I think you are thinking of her sister Mary.. I believe Liz is married even to a man... I really have no qualms with a lesbian, as long as they dont shove it in my face, and my life... but Liz is fantastic..

True, but her sister is a flamer. And I would like to hear her views
before making any judgment about her viability as a candidate for even city council.

Please don't tell me it's OK because Cheney is a conservative.

I have qualms about any leader being gay. They don't deserve to hold power over
normal citizens. Gay is a perversion of the gross kind, and IMO cannot be given a pass.

Mary may just support gays because of her sister. Any support should nullify
her for any public office. So, until I know the facts I'll assume.

On your previous post you said that she was a lesbian. Now you say she isn’t. Why would you say one thing knowing that the statement wasn’t accurate.
