Got polled by the RNC

Posted on 09/01/2009 7:21:45 PM PDT by Mycroft Holmes

Just got off the phone with some 20 year old at the RNC. I screen my calls and was going to let it roll over to the answering machine. Then I realized that this was a chance to give the RNC an earful.


TOPICS: Candidates; General Discussion; Issues
KEYWORDS: poll; rnc
After the initial pleasantries were completed I started in. Roughly: "If you guys want any money from me you are going to have to grow a pair of nads. The only R's with nads are Palin and Bachman and they are women. Oh, and Dick Cheney too. I love the dark Darth Cheney. A Cheney\Palin ticket (in any order) would pry money from my wallet."

There was more to the rant but you get the idea. The 20 something was giggling the whole way through. When I had finally exhausted myself I paused and waited for his response, essentially "Thank you very much sir for your time."

So, I think I got my point in, maybe where it can do some good. I dunno.

I doubt it. All they really want is you to commit to sending them $25.00, $35.00, etc., or more. Just like when they open the mail at the RNC and DON’T bother looking at your response to the latest of gazillions of polls they send out, but only for the check.

I have had the opportunity to let loose on them myself, but I know it only makes me feel good, but doesn’t accomplish anything with the caller whom might casually mention your response, my response as a statistic of negative feed. That’s all.

“The 20 something was giggling the whole way through.”

Or the 20 something was outsourced and just doing this for the money.

Best advice is never, ever respond to RNC. Once they have your phone number and mailing address they will pester you at least twice a week FOREVER. My money’s on Palin PAC. More bang for the buck than subsidizing RINOs.

Duncan Hunter. That’s it. No more dishonest, commie-pandering globalists or feminism candidates—not in any Baby Boomer’s lifetime.

I had just got into my rant, saying I would give $100 if they asked for zeros BC. He hung up. Guess they don’t need the money.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that... feeling good, I mean. Heaven knows we deserve some “feel good” time since November.

I'm glad you did- might help, might not, but at least you spoke your mind.

I've been a citizen-activist since Goldwater, and I've never seen this country in a worse mess than it is in right now.

"More of the same" is not going to cut it.

Exactly. Or one of his caliber (damn hard to find these days). And both houses full of likewise. Nothing short of it will come close to bringing me back to the Republicans.
