Similar here. The caller is working off a script, and is just a hired hand in some marketing firm. Rather than give them an honest piece of my mind (which is something they don't deserve), I lied to them about getting the paper, and about enjoying it. It got me off their call list, and my life is slightly more peaceful as a result.
I'm planning to do the same thing with the GOP. Tell them I adore their policies, but never donate money, time, or votes. Eventually, they'll stop annoying me with their lies too.
If I’m in a mellow mood I’ll chat with them and finally say “no thanks” but normally I just let my answering machine screen my calls ... one article I read said to just keep saying “yes” to everything ... but then, they’re people just trying to do a job ....
