7. The only person who I know who was solicited by a repuke
Edited on Wed Feb-22-06 05:22 PM by cassandra uprising
happened to run her own dance company. Of course the Repuke calling had no idea want kind of business it was, just that she ran the operation. She kept the guy going on about how great it is to run your own business and how great another four years of Bush would be for business, bla bla bla. But then she ended the call by informing the solicitor that as a African-American woman of a non-profit dance company, there was no way that even if she had any money that she would give it to W.

edit darn typo
