Election season is upon us

[Eric P]

Except if your cell number was an old landline. When I got a cell phone, I ended my landline and kept that number for the cell.

My question is...Why are they wasting campaign funds on a fucking poll??? Has anyone posted that question to them fellas??

The advantage of not having a landline

My wife and I both got hit up on our cell phones.

"Am I speaking to a registered voter in Colorado?"

"What?"

"Am I speaking to a registered voter in Colorado?"

"It's none of your damn business! Leave me alone and take my number off of your list!"

The cold calls usually annoy me but the push polls from Udall's contractors at MRS are so obvious that I've decided I like completely demoralizing the Socialists by taking the poll and letting them know NONE of their bogus agitprop points are effective.

These are push polls. The point isn't really to collect your opinion, it's to plant the seeds of their agitprop lies about Gardner's extremism, anti-woman stance, favoritism to Big Oil, etc. By asking whether "XXXXX" is effective, they plant their words in your mind so that when the weak-minded fill out their ballot, they have all the lies sitting at the forefront of their minds. Udall hasn't cared what you or I thought since he was elected, he's not really going to start now.

We get several per day. The wife will not answer the phone and I take maybe three surveys per week in the evening.

My poor TV remote has been getting over time use, every time political add comes on, I simply chge. the channel. Matter of fact, been skipping the local channels more lately than normal, just so that I can get away from the constant barrage of political adds.
For the life of me, I can't believe Udall and the Dems. are so single issue. Women must really get the shaft around every corner, because that's all he talks about. Women's right to choose, equal health care for women, women this and women that. I guess if they can just get the women to the polls, they expect to win.
If he's done so good for Colo., I'd think he could point out the good that's he's done. Maybe brag about Obama Care and how his vote helped get it for all of us. I mean, all you hear is how good Obama Care is for the nation, but yet not one word about it from Udall.

I rarely get cold calls on polls or any other calls related to candidates I don't agree with. All of the calls I get are asking for support, or polling about, republican candidates. Maybe the left-leaning polling companies have a "do not call" list of people that annoy them. I must be on the list.

I haven't got any calls from anybody. Lots of mailings, one liberal college girl from boulder who got a quick education and my wife felt sorry for her since I lectured her for 5 minutes. Other than that it's been pretty quiet

[Ronin13]

I don't get calls... I must be on some kind of do-not-call list. I would really like to have some Boulder hippy call and ask me my opinion on women's issues, then I can incredulously ask "Wait, women's suffrage is still going on? Jesus, the DeLorian works!"
