Jack Layton just called me!!!! Sort of.... [View All]

[ClusterFreak]

Well....a disembodied, voice message just did anyway. Has this happened to anyone you know?? The phone just rang, I answered, I heard some man's recorded voice saying something about push 1 or 2. For a second, I thought maybe I had a parcel at Sears I had to pick up and had forgotten about!! LOL!! Anyway, next thing I hear is "Hi, this is Jack Layton, federal leader of the NDP..." (I'm paraphrasing) Jack then goes on to extol the virtues of his party and asks me as someone who has voted Liberal or PC in the past, to consider voting for the NDP this time. This is supposed to be impressive? This is supposed to win my vote? Taking a telemarketing approach to asking me to vote for him? It's one thing for some pencil pusher at my local Liberal incumbent's office to make a live phone call to me to ask if I'm voting for the incumbent again....it's another thing to put my number on auto-dial and play me back a recorded message from the federal NDP leader. Liberal, Conservative, Green leader...it doesn't matter. It's about as desperately unimpressive a way to attempt to win my vote as I can think of.:puke:
