Alright already !!!! Jeez!!!

[Howler]

I have gotten ten recorded messages just TODAY on my answering machine all from the Ohio Republicans !!! This has been going on for over a week now.
Not one Democratic candidate or the local Democratic party has left a message or called.

I have always been a registered Democrat never voted repug. I just don't understand it.
This is the first election here in Dayton Ohio where I have gotten these damn phone calls from the repubs.
And you should see the mail its even worse!!!!
Man Oh Man! The Democrats are really being out spent here.

[sufrommich]

1. I can't wait for this to be over. nt

[Howler]

3. Me Either!

This is absolutely ridiculous.
The Re pubs are just carpet bombing.

[Subdivisions]

2. Sounds like raw desperation to me. n/t

[Howler]

5. I hope so......

We voted weeks ago by absentee.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

4. Good

That shit annoys people and I hope it backfires. I yelled at a local union that kept calling pushing Democratic candidates saying they need to listen when the caller says they are voting and voting for their candidates and move to other numbers.

6. The Repubs are doing it here in Florida

But I think they finally got the update on their voter database that told them I had already voted, because I have not gotten a call since Saturday morning. I'm sure they made lots of friends calling people at 8:30 AM on the weekend with a robo-call dissing Charlie Crist.

Last week, I heard from Karl Rove AND Mike Huckabee - Karl told me about his Florida home and Mike informed me that he is now a Florida resident. God, that made me feel slimey.

I've never voted Repub, either, and the last actual human Repub that called was told I would not vote for a Repub if they held a gun to my head.

I do think that with this kind of ultra-saturation calling going on, the Repubs are going to piss off as many voters as they might gain. I would not want the Democratic organizations doing this level of robo-calls!

[Howler]

11. Oh Yeah those EARLY morning calls.....

On my answering machine @#$%^&!!!!
There is nothing like waking up to the sound of republican bullshit first thing in the morning.

[csziggy]

22. I was snickering at that call. First, they wasted their money calling me.

Then they were slamming Crist, which I wish they had done sooner so Meek had a better chance. I'm always happy to see Republicans tearing each others' throats out.

My sleep schedule is totally screwed right now, so they did not wake me up.

[Howler]

24. Its Almost over!

One more day.
But bloody hell I do not talk,socialize,or share living space with republicans. It darn disconcerting to have them calling my home.

[csziggy]

28. Yeah, I think I will stay in a bubble of unreality until about midnight tomorrow

Then surface to find out how our future is looking and decide if I should retreat again. I'm so worried about this election and feeling guilty that I could not work on any campaigns this year. Maybe next time, if we survive that long.

[AmericanMan1958]

7. Crazy!!!!!!!

How much money is being spent by the "R's"
But they won't give anything to help their fellow American.
Shameful, buying a election, and will most likely get away with it...

[Dinger]

8. I Unplugged Our Land Line On Friday

I won't plug it in till this Friday.

[tridim]

I've been getting about 2 calls per day for a week.

They're about 50/50 R/D.

Only one call so far today, from a Dem GOTV'er.

[GoCubsGo]

9. That's how it is everywhere

I haven't been getting the phone calls, but I have to keep my TV on PBS to avoid the damn commercials. One right after another--from two states. If I lived in Georgia, I'd vote against Nathan Deal, Johnny Isakkson and Casey Cagle just for the fact that I am FUCKING SICK of their goddamn commercials. Never mind that they're corrupt assholes. The same goes for Joke Wilson in the neighboring district. Ditto for Nikki Haley. Not even if you held a gun to my head, honey. I only saw my first commercials for her opponent two days ago.

I don't get the phone calls, because I never registered with any party, and because I have an unlisted AND unpublished number. During election season, it's worth the few extra bucks I pay every month to have it unpublished.

[Jakes Progress]

12. Has anyone ever figured how much money

the local stations make during elections. You have to wonder what they will put on after the election since about 80 per cent is now election hate ads.

[ejpoeta]

10. shouldn't that be enough to get people to vote dem..... they haven't called 50 times?

i know i know. but it would sure send a message to the republicans... we don't like the incessant robo calls. there ought to be a way to prevent that crap. i don't get those kinds of calls. we dumped the landline years ago. thank god. and the mailers go straight into the fire.

[CitizenLeft]

13. wierd...

Sorry you're getting those - I've never heard from the RNC, ever. In the last few weeks, I've gotten robos from Obama and Clinton. Saved 'em, cuz they made me feel important. :rofl:

[Howler]

15. I haven't received any phone calls

from Obama or Clinton So You must be important.:)

[CitizenLeft]

16. we gotta get you on their speed dial, neighbor!

:hi: from Cleveland!

[Howler]

17. LOVE Cleveland!!!!!!!

I always have a great time when we go to Cleveland!!!!
:toast:

[CitizenLeft]

20. Yay! Glad to hear that!

We dont' get a lot of respect, but we aim to please!

[Howler]

21. They must have never partied in the flatts.

Or seen how beautiful downtown Cleveland is.
Cleveland has the very best Rock n Roll clubs and rock n roll underground bar none.
You can walk into a bar on land go to the back of the same establishment and drink on the water.

[CitizenLeft]

31. not a drinker myself, but the sports teams...

...yeah, they break our hearts, but the pain, oh so exquisite! :loveya:

Haven't really been to the Flats much, in all my life... but I'm headed there for a wedding reception in a few weeks in what was once the Powerhouse - what a fantastic place!

[Howler]

32. i'm so jealous lol! enjoy. n/t

[jgraz]

23. WTF, they just called me, too

Note that I'm in Berkeley, CA. :shrug:

Of course, I'm all in favor of them wasting their resources on people who wouldn't vote for them in a brazilian years.

[Howler]

[kiva]

[Howler]

27. I feel for you Kiva........

If its any consolation Ohio is responsible for John Boner the "orange man" And Mean Jean .
Those folks in Cincinnati and southern Ohio.:shrug:

[Canuckistanian]

29. They're scared.

Quaking in their boots, wetting the floor terrified.

They've got ONE HELL of an expectation.

If they blow it..... the REAL fireworks start.

[one_voice]

30. I've gotten a bunch too...

only one or two were Republicans though the rest were Democratic. Including a recorded message from President Obama for Chris Coons and one from VP Biden about a rally today. :-) As nice as those two were, I'll be glad when they're done. And my mailbox isn't full of mailers either.

[Howler]

35. I'll be glad when its over too!

Hopefully the Democrats will keep both houses and we can move on to the holidays.

[lonestarnot]

33. Did you vote pug?

No. Well then they wasted their money didn't they? :bounce: :party: :bounce:

[Howler]

36. LOL! Never!!!!!!!!!1

This is the first time we have gotten calls from the repubs though...... I'm 51 and have always been a registered Democrat.
Someone somewhere gotta a hold of a list.
But i love your positive thinking Lonestarnot.

Going to lay in my election day supplies. Beer,check.Herb check,munchies,check.

[lonestarnot]

38. ewwweee! Here's to wishing I didn't have to work today!

:toast:

[Howler]

39. You Have an EXCELLENT day Lonestarnot! :)

I honestly do not have a feeling of dread about this election.
I really feel that the democratic party is going to do alright.:toast:

[lonestarnot]

46. Counting on it!

:toast: Just in Paul projected. Going to be an interesting watch.

[JNelson6563]

34. Sounds like they need Dem volunteers.

Just sayin'.

[Howler]

37. snort! n/t

[AngryOldDem]

40. How ironic.

I live in Indiana. Have been for over a year.

But more times than I can count, I have gotten calls from the Ohio Democratic Party asking me to vote for Ted Strickland. Just got a robo call from Ted, in fact. Each time I tell them that I would if I could, but I can't.

It is starting to really tick me off. This is a waste of time -- especially on their end, and I have told them so.

[Howler]

41. MAN......... That is Ironic AngryOldDem......

I wonder whats up with that???? Wasted time and resources.Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

[defendandprotect]

42. Same here in my part of NJ .... have had only REPUG calls ....

Hung up on msg from GOP Gov yesterday and 5 minutes later, they called again --!

Our Gop House Rep has been calling regularly no matter how many times we hang up

on them --

And NO DEMOCRAT HAS CALLED ALL WEEK -- AND NO GET OUT THE VOTE DEM CALL TODAY ---

VERY UNUSUAL!!!


:eyes:

[Howler]

44. Im tellin you DefendandProtect

The Democrats are being WAY out spent in this election on every front. :(

[defendandprotect]

48. Certainly true , but .....

The signs don't cost that much -- and most of the calls are recordings now --

I'm not sure if Dems are also using recordings -- I think that would be a mistake.

NEVER got a call today.

What really happens in my town is that Repug thugs will pick up and knock down signs

for Dems. They have actually driven over people's lawns late at night to knock down

a Dem sign! And more than once if the sign is replaced.

Since the Town Council is majority Repug, nothing happens to them.

Happens every Election Day, except times when Dems are in control of Town Council ...

which happens every now and then. THEN, we have equal signs for both parties.

Nor do phone calls cost that much --

I really think many Dems didn't volunteer for candidates' phone banks, etal.

This seems like more than the off-year malaise, IMO.

And, Obama was speaking to that for quite sometime now, though I don't think he actually

ever faced the reasons for it?

[slackmaster]

43. I got three from Republicans asking me to vote for some clown for state Insurance Commissioner

:argh:

[Howler]

45. Now thats Ironic! n/t

n/t

[leeroysphitz]

47. Hmm. Sounds as though there maybe a shortage of energized volunteers

to work the phones and GOTV in your area.

[SoCalDem]

49. Susan Sarandon robocalled me from Minot ND..3 times today

All it did was make me wonder what the HELL she is doing in Minot:rofl:
