I was just on the receiving end of some Push Polling!
I am so offended right now.

The phone rang and it questions was a, "please participate in a 45 second survey" sort of thing so I listened. Then it asked whether I was planning on voting for amendment one. When I responded no, I got a further list of questions asking something like, "if you knew 'x' would you change your mind and vote yes on the amendment." I got completely offended and hung up after the statement, "if you knew that not passing this amendment would leave hundreds of Georgia children without a Mother or Father..." I hung up.

How do these people get away with this crap. Where is the logic?

Thanks for letting me vent!

Anyone else had this experience?

1. You know what I do?
I let them try to sell me on it then tell them I support someone or something even more because of what they told me. Really freaks them out. :evilgrin:

2. Great approach.
It just made me feel creepy and dirty and angry listening to that crap. I'll try to stomach it for the greater good next time!
