I just hung up on John McCain

Is there anyone who actually appreciates receiving automated calls?
I received one moments ago, with a recorded message from John McCain. I listened for just a few seconds to make sure he wasn't going to say he was dropping out of the race and wanted The Turner Report to have the story first.
Once I heard him ask me for my vote and promise to continue being a Reagan Republican I hung up on him.
I imagine I am going to have to hang up on Mitt Romney, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Mike Huckabee before Tuesday.

Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that they appreciated an automated call.I am seriously considering tallying up the number of automated calls that I get from the canidates and whoever ends up making the fewest calls will get my vote.

you must be a frequent voter, I got a phone call from McCain today also. I don't know if it was recorded or not, but I couldn't get a word in edgewise.

"I just hung up on John McCain"

That's a pretty big headline for a nothing piece. No doubt, Senator McCain won't sleep all night after "the big I" hung up on him and announced it in a headline.

Everyone I know has hung up on two or three politicians today...so what!


Randy, Randy, Randy. Come down to earth....you're no better than the rest of us....kick it down a few notches....you're liable to fall off that pedestal you have climbed onto.

I have received tons of calls today, too. I actually received a real live person supporting Mike Huckabee and Hillary Clinton though. Automated calls came three times today from McCain. It was the same message all three times. *sigh*

Like busplunge,I couldn't get a word in from the edge or any other dimension with McCain. He indicated a concern about terriorism...I assumed he was talking about the US lending industry, or some health care related institution.

Hillary called and I did ask her out to dinner...She kept on talking.

I will vote for her any darn way!

I received an automated call that I appreciated. On Wednesday of last week I donated blood. This Monday, I received an automated call from a man thanking me for taking time to donate as his life had recently been saved with blood collected at local donation centers.

I said "cool" and felt good about myself the rest of the day!
