Just got back from 3 hours of ....

[madmom]

working the phone bank in Ohio for Kerry, well over 75% of my calls where for Kerry only a couple die-hard asses for Booosh. One lady(?) actually said she didn't believe anything the dems said , Iraq did attack us , several murders during Clinton admin.,and no matter what I said she wouldn't believe me.I told her "try to have a nice day anyway". How can people be so stupid???? All in all it was really fun and I'll do it again next week.

1. Thanks for your fine work!

You are one of the many heros who are making a difference for our country.

[RobertSeattle]

2. Thanks for your work!

Whenever I get a (D) phone bank call or see a (D) helper on the street I try to give them a compliment or say thanks.

[plcdude]

3. thank you

that is what we need to do.

[RoundRockD]

4. I did some calling myself today. I only had one bad experience...

The man on the other end said, "Toots, I'm a Ronald Reagan republican, not a godless, socialist."

I just said thank you and hung up the phone.

[GinaMaria]

7. There's a godless, socialist candidate?

Too bad you didn't ask him who that was.

5. I wonder what kind of meds she's on?

She reminds me of my mother-in-law. Totally delusional. Some say it's the heart meds? A lot of these folks are on a cocktail of meds, which often include anti-depressents. I think Dick Cheney has the same problem. Some of these meds make people very paranoid and in time, totally irrational.

6. When you work the phone banks, where do you get the names to

call. I thought that you call dems to see they vote or are registered.

[madmom]

8. they give you a list to call...

where they get them I don't know.

9. we worked from a list of registered voters.

we used that list to to survey people on the most important issue, their political leanings and who they'd be voting for. It was an experience and I found that people were pretty evenly split in my corner of southwest Mich.
