Time for Political Calls to be a part of the DNC list

Alex Sink is the newest victim. Shame, I might have voted for Alex to simply vote against Rick Scott.

Time to write in a new person....

jandar, are you seriously not going to vote for someone because they called you? If you can't put anymore thought into it than that, please surrender your registration card.

Uh Duh

Political calls are exempt from both the national and state "Do Not Call" lists.  So jandar, if you get calls from all of the candidates in a race does that mean you vote for no one?

I am speaking with my vote. As politicians implemented the DNC list and immediately exempted themselves from it, I fight back with my vote.

Sorry, most candidates are nothing more than a continuation of the same ole stuff regurgitated every 2-4 years. Its not easy to withhold a vote.

Now there are a few that I will still vote for, so long as they do not call. Especially when I get an autodialer after 10PM.

And I will never surrender my card, and will ask no-one to surrender theirs. I do not care if you are a crazy loonbat who wants Manson as President, I will still back your right to vote (or non-vote)

Yup, if all the governor candidates call my house, then none get a vote. Doesn't mean I won't vote for other offices though.
Funny thing is, I'm a registered republican (never switched over to independent) and my wife is a school teacher, therefore we get all parties, and tea parties, and AFL-CIO and unions telling me who to vote for.

I speak with my vote, a non-vote is a vote as well.

The system is so freakin flawed, that the people who want to hold power think that they have the right to tell us who to vote for. Voter apathy is just as strong a voice as other things.

I am not the only one thinking it, thousands of voters are feeling the same way.

FYI - If you want to block political commercials, set your tivo 1 hrs before your scheduled daily tv watch.  Pretend your on central time and FF right through.

Whoopee, yeah I know, me bitching some more.

Mike Hogan Campaign called and wanted me to vote, should I tell them I live in Clay County? Oops, can't do that, it was a robocall.

Not only did they call me, but they kept calling every 2hrs until I finally picked up and let the robogreeting start.

Yeah, robocalls are effective.

Yeah, I got that Hogan robo-call too...and nothing makes me more furious than ANY telemarketing call during my kid's naptime.

It seems to me that too many of you still have landlines.

If you're running a business from your home, I get it, kinda. 

How many of you with landlines still have a VCR that's hooked up to a TV?  ;)
