Did Anyone Receive This Deceptive Robo Call in California?

Armstrong & Getty Show ^ | 10.7.03 | Armstrong & Getty

I was wondering if anyone had gotten this deceptive robo-call. Armstrong & Getty played it a couple of times this morning. It's by a woman who says (paraphrased - unsure phrases in square brackets):

"As a Republican woman voter, I favor family values. But Arnold Schwarzenegger's [behavior makes it impossible for me to support him], and Tom McClintock can't win. So, vote no on the recall, and let's wait for a REAL Republican in 2006. And also, vote yes on 53 and no on 54. This message brought to you by the Council of Concerned Women (slightly softer voice) Voters."

This is the Democratic platform. There is no such organization as the Council of Concerned Women Voters. She said the word "voters" more softly, and if you weren't listening very carefully, you might think this was the actual conservative women's group Concerned Women for America.

Oops on me. I think a caller had mentioned that... thanks!

[bootless]

Are there really people like this?

Yeah, but I think they're Democrats.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

Put them on the "Do Not Call List"!

[The KG9 Kid]

Yes. Got it last night.

Hey Sis! I'm feeling OK - not enough sleep. Too much freeping, I guess.

I want the S.S. Gray Davis to go down fast!

[bootless]

Thanks for checking in~!

I mean, c'mon! Are there really people like this?

In a word, yes.

There is a group called "Concerned Women of America" (or something very close to that) but they are far from conservative.

Well, I agree that this phone call is trying to fool listeners into thinking that the CWA is behind the calls, but the CWA most certainly is conservative and in favor of tradtional "family values." Link to the real CWA's site.

constitutional amendments make lousy fiscal management tools.

I agree but it's better than free reign. Prop 53 is a "parental lock" device, needed for when the children are in charge. Infrastructure funds are the first to be raided. Socialists love pot holes and gridlock because it gives reason to raise taxes.

I want the S.S. Gray Davis to go down fast!

Yes! And speaking of sinking political ships: today also shall bring The Wreck of the Cruz Bustamante!

[Poohbah]

The problem is that you can't undo the parental lock when the grownups are in charge, and sometimes you don't NEED to spend 3% on infrastructure. Also, the definition of "infrastructure" is a wee bit vague in Prop 53.

[Hoof Hearted]

The Democrats are against prop 53, which was written by a conservative and is supported by McClintock and Schwarzenegger. The Freeper vote should be yes on prop 53...

The Democrats do indeed support prop 53 and Bustamante has TV commercials supporting it. The proposition require that 3% of the annual state budget be spent on infrastrucure/transportation. 3% - no more, no less. It is a fiscal straight jacket.

New Tagline BUMP!

[Reeses]

You've been fooled! The Indians are running pro-prop53 ads with Bustamante featured because they want better roads built to their casinos. Bustamante is against prop 53. McClintock and Schwarzenegger are for it! It was written by a conservative. The Indians are off the Democrat reservation on this.

[christie]

Did they show the spot as part of their "news coverage"?

No, it was shown as a commercial, the same one that the Dems and Feinstein have been running for weeks. How it's soooo bad for California...

[bootless]

Don't know who you can contact, but sounds like they're busted! Gray Davis breaking election law? Bust him!

[prairiebreeze]

LOL!

What I'm trying to say, not so clearly so far, is that there is a group of Demoncrats who have started a similar group with a similar sounding name. Reminds me of those guys who take advantage of misspellings to direct kids to porn sites.

Oh, I agree. As I said up in #7, "Turns out it's more simple: just your typical made-up group that's supposed to sound like CWA but isn't. Bet it's 100% a Demo/Union front group."
