Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 All those maybe states are getting hammered. If you parses would vote right the first time like we do in Oklahoma they wouldn't bother you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ain't so much the native Coloradoans, when I was growing up except for Boulder most of the areas were conservative. Then people started moving here in droves from other places....hence our now being a swing state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Ron Wayne Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Watching one of the anchor dudes swimming in the sea of hyperbole about the debate tonight, I realized there's still 2 DANG WEEKS 'TILL THE ELECTION. I spend 5 minutes at the post office throwing away political flyers and the evening is spent deleting Vote For Me messages on the machine. I am sooo sick of politicians and their sleazy lying campaign managers! Arrrrrrgggggghhh! Amen Brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EE Taft Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Nope! .....But I durn sure don't need someone else tryin' to make up my mind for me! Bein' able to make up my mind on my own is what makes this country so great! ~EE~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calico Mary Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 What a bunch of grouches! Would you rather have some other system that selects the most powerful leader of the free world? The system is fine, it's the constant phone calls that drive me nuts! I don't even mind the commercials that much, gives us time to go to the bathroom or kitchen or channel surf. And we do look at a lot of the mail stuff. But WE pay for OUR phone for OUR use, and NO ONE, I MEAN NO ONE has any business EVER calling our number without our permission. That goes for politicians, solicitors, and charities! It may not be illegal, but it sure as shootin' SHOULD be, and it's definitely rude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calico Mary Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Sorry, maybe I am a little grouchy! Bad day at work, and we're now up to 8 calls just this evening, and it's not even bedtime yet.... I'm just starting to wonder if my sanity will still be intact in two weeks! (Yeah, yeah, I know, I don't have any in the first place!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calico Mary Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I checked our caller ID box before I left for work this morning, and the final tally from JUST yesterday...between about 2:30 in the afternoon until about 9:15 last night....ELEVEN, that's right ELEVEN, calls from numbers not belonging to anyone we know In one afternoon/evening! How much longer is this supposed to go on????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Doesn't bother me....we have 'silent' mode on our phone and after 6 pm it's engaged. Anyway...they are just doing the job alot of us should do in trying to get the candidate we would like to see in office...I volunteered to help with the phone bank at our local Republican headquarters next week. Relax...it'll all be over soon and you can go about your normal lives.

GG Don't mean to be argumentative, but you might note that Curly lives in Illinois. So unless it might be a local issue it will be ??? Have you not heard the two words "Chicago Politics?" So we'll vote being out and away from the "city," but I believe that he refers to way the general state and national votes go here. Some of us have lived too long in IL, just saying... And we are the only state without concealed carry... See, now you went and got me started... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW: Info for The National Do-Not-Call Registry https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx GG~ Hate to tell you this, but the Do Not Call registry is useless as for as political and charitable calls are concerned, both are exempt, and does very little good for solicitation calls as well. And the first thing any candidate needs to do to get mine and Buick's vote is to NOT call us. I applaud your volunteering to help with the campaign of your choice, that's admirable, but the worst way for any candidate to contact people is by phone. You have no idea of the trouble you may be causing the people you are calling, so to do so ain't right. The commercials and mail aren't so bad, but ringing phones are way too disruptive. Do you KNOW the work schedules of everyone you are calling so you know if they are sleeping, or when their kids may be sleeping or studying, or if any family member is sick, or what time they are eating dinner, or if they have company, or.....???
