Political Phone Spam

Can I sue the Republicans for telemarketing calls? I mean, the whole point on being on the National Do Not Call list is to avoid having my weekend afternoon naps interrupted. The only exceptions are supposed to be those companies with whom you have a prior affiliation. I have never registered as a Republican. I will not register as a Republican. So why do I have all of these Republican candidates, and Laura Bush calling me?

If there were real people on the other end, this could have been entertaining. Unfortunately, they were prerecorded. Too bad, as I wanted to ask a few questions.

I also wanted to tell them that calling registered Democrats was a waste of time. Call the independents. Same for Democrats calling Republicans, in most years except this and the next election year. Awful lot of Republicans saying they are undecided in the polls...

Long and short of it is this: my mind is made up. Was made up long ago. This isn't to say that I won't listen politely when the message is polite and logical. I just prefer to draw my own conclusions.

You should do the same.

Oooh, I'd love to have heard the Laura Bush one.
If you've ever popped across to my blog, you'll know from my occasional outbursts of socialist rant what I think of the Republicans.
Tomorrow's the big day over there. I'm looking forward to a result worthy of opening a really good bottle of wine.
