I live in a conservative bastion surrounded by the people's republic of Callyfornia. Today I was minding my own business, cleaning house, and the phone rings. Stop everything and answer the call with no caller ID and there's nobody there. I get back to work and 1/2 hour later it rings again. Stop my work and answer, and I get a tape recorder saying "This is Hillary Clinton". I hung up and got back on with my work. 1/2 hour later it's Hillary again ... "Hi, this is Hillary Clinton, and bla bla bla...." Well, it looks like I'm going to have to let her recording go through to the end if I ever want to get rid of her, so I listened with the hope that at the end it would ask me to press a number to speak to a live operator where I could suggest they pound sand, but no joy. I listened to the Hildebeast and was afforded no recompense.
Am I scarred for life? Will I ever achieve wood again? Will the government pay me to get those pills that they sell at night on TV? Shouldn't I be able to block this crap? I know I can't block political or non profit calls, but why the hell not? Isn't there a "regular Joe" politician out there who has the balls to block this junk?
< /rant> (I don't feel better, but I got it off my chest anyway.)
I think the robo-callers are broken or have attention-deficit disorder. I’ve had eight — yes, EIGHT — robo-calls from the McCain and Romney camp over the past three days.
This is why I never answer the phone if called ID is not displayed. There wouldn’t be enough tequila in the world to erase the memory of Hildebeest’s voice in my ear.
You’re a brave conservative. I salute you.
In this household, Mitt Romney’s campaign is the one calling excessively.
Haven't had one single message left yet.
you are going to have to stick your hand in acid, cause it touched the phone.
you will have to cut off your ear cause it also touched the phone.
I’m guessing you were probably cussing at the recording, so will will have to wash your mouth out with lye soap.
did I miss anything ?
I haven’t heard from Hillary, but Bill called this afternoon. Reminded me of the Simpsons’ episode where Homer got ahold of an auto-dialer.
Robo calls should be illegal.
Look at the bright side. She’s burning money on someone who isn’t going to vote for her.
When you get bothersome calls tell them “let me let you talk to the head of the house” and hand it to the two y/o.
Perhaps a “Do Not Call Register” should be added to McCain-Feingold.
I never knew what was meant by negative adv. until I got the robo-McCain call blasting Romney. Now I know and lies don’t sell well.
I just got two calls at 3:57 and again at 3:58 from Hillary. She sounded scared and tearful.
ROFL! When the Hildabeast has the hots for your husband he should enter a witness protection program.
Naw. She bats for the other team...
Don’t worry about that strange woman(?) calling your husband at 2am. She doesn’t want his body. She has Huma’s.
