I'm so tired of them it's not even fun to ask what they are wearing and breath heavily anymore.

Our county is smack in the middle of the I-4 corridor, the section of Florida expected to be the true battle ground for Florida. I am easily getting 20+ calls/week.

I keep getting calls on whether it's right to kill babies that are asleep in a woman's stomach.

On the political calls you do have a to have them mark you as a refusal.

Only a few here and all but one was from the Democrats. My wife is a registered Democrat, so I'm guessing those were for her. It's almost like there are no state and local races going on here. Saw a couple of ads by one of our incumbent senators, but no ads against him. Until two weeks ago it looked like he was running unopposed, but then I saw where he had two opponents- looks like the republicans have given up here for the most part.

I don't mind the honest political calls asking for support.
It's the pathetic union slobs I despise. Useless pieces of crap catering to the weak.

Calls every 15-20min all weekend long. Some as late as 9:30 at night.

Bought an air horn. If I don't recognize the number on the Caller ID when it rings, I pick-up the receiver, blast the air horn in the mouthpiece, then hang-up.

Will be glad when the election is over!

been out of town for 5 days, but had maybe one or two calls when home.

However, probably saw over a dozen TV spots for New Hampshire senate race per day, and I live in MA

Don't anyone tell him but I've just been borrowing different people's phones and calling Teedubbya. Seeing if he'll vote for candidates like Heywood Jablomey and Hugh Jass.

But I AM JUST A boring 60 year old DIRT POOR
WHITE GUY....
WHO USED TO topple governments 35+ years ago
Who their old bosses hired and never told anybody...

And sells stuff at flea markets...

But knows all the secrets of the past...

"The Man Who Knew Too Much"

All the HOT FBI-SSG WOMEN AGENTS still "frig"
themselves to sleep.... while thinking about me,

I despise weak minded people who label things they have no idea about . The unions were why the middle class was paid well but sime people would rather screw your neighbor because he got a leg up .

Are you part of the 1%?

25min before the polls close, and I've had 4 calls in the last 45min.
AB-SO-LUTELY RIDICULOUS! There should be laws against it!

A: Starting a pro-union rant by hating on the weak minded? That's a brilliant example of irony right there, dear sir!
B: There is no more middle class. And the unions are more than partly responsible for that.
C: I'd try to calculate what percent I fall under, but in union speak "that's not my job".


Don't fret dude.
The union rant in my OP above was in comic reference to an earlier post of mine. I've got real life examples to feel the way I do about unions. No need to bore you, and I'm not trying to change your opinion. I don't dislike union workers. Most are union by circumstance, some like it some don't.
Doesn't mean I can't have an informed opinion.
