1. Yes but you get a great President for that extra $50
quite a bargain I'd say.

Book bags? Earlier I think. B-)

3. Sure they did.
Because thats in the call script. 'Hi Hillary supporter! Can I have $150?'

You need new material.

8. The day after I went to the Congressional caucus to elect delegates
to the DNC convention( I was there primarily to raise funds for our Democratic Town Committee by selling water candy bars etc) I was called by the Obama campaign and asked to donate $200 dollars

Which leads me to think that they got the list of those that showed up and just dialed them for dollars. I was an Edwards supporter and I told the person who called that I was all for letting the process play out and that whomever got the nomination would get my full support and my money....so any "donation" wouldn't be coming till after it was clear who the nominee was.

18. in the past, when I was an Edwards supporter
I used to get telemarketing calls from Obama. I think they have a list of DNC donors and with Kerry's endorsement a list of Kerry donors as well. I know I got at least two calls, but haven't gotten one for a while. Maybe they go by region and figure that with the Kansas primary being over that a Kansan would not be interested in donating. I haven't gotten any letters from Al Franken lately either. I feel abandoned :cry:

6. The Hillary campaign just called me AT WORK and made lude suggestions over the phone.
I think it was something about a three-way phone call with a Shetland pony and Penn. Disgusting!

16. They stole your saws. Enough is enough. Make some calls, get the truck and a rope.
You don't take a guy's saw.
