Yippeee I just got a McCain call...I wasn't nice.

I just got home from a winery and no sooner than I walked into my house does the phone ring and I answer it...and it's ... yes, a McCain call (IM in VA)

After a couple bullshit questions.

They ask who I've decided to vote for,

I say, "Yes, I believe I am going to vote for Barack Obama"

She (it's a female) asks me if I would consider another option? That's what she said.

I asked, "what option would that be?" (Im baiting kids)

NOW get this...she DID NOT mention McCain....

She went into this commentary about Obama..how he votes against the troops bla bla bla.

I LET her talk for a good 30 seconds and SHE NEVER mentioned John MCCain, only how bad Obama was.

So I then said, "Ok I get it...Barack Obama is the devil...so who should I vote for?"

(she must not have heard how I was egging her on)

It was at that point she went into her pro-McCain speech.

This is when I got ugly....

I said, "well...I have to be honest. I am going to do everything I can to keep you fuckers out of office."

Goodnight...the phone was, of course, hung up right after I said 'office'...

I just had to pass this on. I didn't even get to call Palin a Nazi and it still felt really great.

Peace all DUers...

2. This is the difference between the two campaigns.
I have been working at the phone bank for months. We don't do that bullshit, we were given information that simply discussed Obama's policies.

I have come to determine that the republican party is an evil party.

8. I was SOOO excited

My wife said she gets these calls all the time and just hangs up...I so wanted one.

So I was gonna play along and she didn't say a damn friggin thing about McLame...just trashed Obama.

I was cool as a cuke though because I was off work today and my wife and I went to a winery and had a couple glasses of Cab Franc and I get really easy going sometimes when Im drinking.

But after the bullshit I just decided to drop the bomb on her. MAN, I felt so good. I hate the Republican Party so much I can barely stay upright.

34. You must not have been watching very closely if you're just now coming to that conclusion.
I came to that conclusion in about 1984. I get it reaffirmed every two years.

Thanks, and keep up the good work! :headbang:

The United States is a LIBERAL Country.

3. LOL!
Don't listen to anyone who bashes you for that, I think after all we've put up with these past 8 years, calling them a few choice words is nothing, and rather theraputic.

25. Absolutely

I guess our phone call lasted 3, 4 or 5 minutes...hell I dont know. But like I said my wife just hangs up with them. Actually, if I was really good I would have kept her on the phone for like 30 minutes just shooting the shit, maybe even imply Im a Repukkke and I need some 'convincin' ... let her talk for half an hour and just let it go...30 minutes she can't be calling undecideds with her garbage.

Whatever the case...better take my number off the Republican rolls folks...Your party is a fraud, a joke, bordering on fascist, theocratic and just plain fucked in the head.

14. Heh Heh

Yea, I probably wasn't as nice as I could be, but I did give her a chance to make her claim. It was a lame, lousy bullshit attack on Obama and her pro McCain drivel was such a load of hot horse shit.

Ya know...you call my house and pimp your politics, consider the possibility that I don't agree with them. So as the capitalists would say...BUYER BEWARE.

Sadly...no Obama calls yet...When one calls Im gonnna quickly tell em..."Hey girl...Im with ya now go call some undecideds, times a wastin"

29. hmmm
maybe it would be better to keep the mccain people on the line as long as possible, be the ultimate "undecided" voter, make them talk you into it, half hour later you lower the boom.

Yea, I dont think McLame is spending any money in California when you consider he needs to spend money in those battleground states like Missouri, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, and Indiana...:rofl:

24. Good job of taking up her time before slamming her...

I've happily flown under the radar of McCain callers so far. But if I did get one of those calls, I'd pretty much do the same thing: keep asking questions and hold them on the line as long as possible, to help keep them from getting to someone else whose vote they might get.

I'd start off by asking obvious questions, like what McCain is going to do for the economy. When they ran out of talking points on those topics, I'd keep going down to more and more obscure issues, like:

I'm four feet nine inches tall. What is McCain going to do for people like me?

I immigrated from Antarctica. Will McCain's reform policy lower the quota of people who can come to America from my homeland?

As we speak, thousands of parrots are being fed bird seed from South America that is potentially infested with Salmonella. Did McCain address this issue during his last trip to Colombia?

I heard of a guy who's developing a car that runs on urine. What is McCain going to do to help him?

Marx and Hitler knew that the key to propaganda was to target youth. When McCain talks about Obama's socialist policies, why doesn't he mention all those blatantly socialist school lunch programs?

Where are you now, and why does my Caller ID say this connection is coming from Damascus?

31. I don't think you should congratulate yourself. Do unto others as they would do unto you.
I get upset when I call a home and it is a McCain supporter who is nasty. There is just no reason for you to be this way to the other side. McCain's campaign blows big time. But I do not think you should take that out on a volunteer.

Edited on Thu Oct-30-08 05:45 PM by kwolf68
I actually 'congratulated' myself. I said "I was mean"....is being mean = to congratulating oneself?

Thing is...I don't give a crap about the McCain army...if you sign up with them, and call my house and trash someone I admire and respect, expect some flack.

As I said...FUCK EM
