I use my caller ID. If I don’t want to talk, I don’t answer. Texting is okay - I have been going back and forth with one of my granddaughters this morning. It just takes more time.
Grandma got run over by Obamacare, coming out of committee Christmas Eve,
You might say there's no such thing as death panels, but as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
It tells me they have disdain for the people. They don’t want a true “debate” about what to do to try to help reduce health costs in America while keeping our awesome health care.
The Repub’s on the panels this morning’s shows accurately encapsulated the “fear” of the people of a gov’t takeover. You can’t get any more intimate/personal than a person’s health care.
I remember as a young adult - I did not think I would ever get anything out of Social Security.
Sorry axeldork it ain't working and what we didn't accomplish today Rush will tomorrow.
I was the same way,and now I will run scared until I actually do collect.
Well voicemail and caller ID, I usually send Email since it is free and texting costs me money.
However, lots of people are hard wired to answer a ringing phone. So if you call them they feel obligated to pick up. a text can sit there until they are ready for it.
In my line of work, you got to answer the phone. Found most younger people in my office simply ignore the phone unless it is theirs. That is a no no in either retail or logistics.
If someone is calling, we got a problem that needs solving RIGHT NOW. Really get fed up having to answer everyone's phones. They don't seem to realize, they can ignore the phone, but they are still going to have to deal with the problem. All the person answering the phone for them is going to do is get pissed off, then forward it to them. They might as well answer it 1st and save the butt chewing they are going to get
Gotta love it. Sarah Palin is nothing but a kook. The proposed health care changes don’t have “death panels” in the first place, it’s a myth. So, the Democrats are now taking death panels out of the plan because of the complaints from people who found out they were there.
Yeah, that’ll work.

Then point out that the VA is an example of Government run health care.
Hey Axlegrease, thou doth protest too much about DeathCzars.
Pray for America and Lady Palin
Nowadays young people will look at a text message rather than answer a telephone sad but true.
The age bracket is all ready moving on Social Security. Someone posted to me a link last week that took me to the Social Security website. Imagine my surprise to discover I will have to work to age 67 before I can retire. This is going to be a big surprise to a lot of people. Most people do not know this.
” Which someone on our side would play all the clips of Democrats screaming about what a lousy job the V.A. was doing a few years ago.
Then point out that the VA is an example of Government run health care. “
So true. They used this to their advantage to make Bush look uncaring/incompetent.
On MTP Armey slapped down Maddow when she claimed Moveon.org never compared Bush to Hitler.
FWIW this site has a link to Moveon’s ad.
Its disturbing...the same thing about Obama would put the libs in a coma.

You’re right on the guests. Can you believe FTN has Hagel on? WTF? He’s not even a sinator anymore, but they drag him out anyway, just to get the LEFTWING Republican talking points on...
Alas..I read an article last night that said that Hagel is about to get a pretty important job in the pino admin.
Obamacare: Cash for clunkers II!
