So anyway, instead of changing the subject, let's focus on that Photoshop ballot you posted from DK. Where did DK download it from? How did they get it? | ||||

Because I'll tell you what, I hang up on 30 people/day all calling to try to sell me something. This is no different...the GOP is trying to sell you that (a) they're better, and (b) the dems are not. two simple words............. HANG UP. | ||||

It's exactly the same as they put on radio adds. Melvin Tucker hates women Melvin Tucker LOVES illegal aliens Melvin Tucker wants 98% of your check for taxes Do the state a favor, don't vote for Melvin Tucker (paid for by Bradford Snicker for congress) It's the same stuff. | ||||

| Exactly Scrum.. and it's a method of voter suppression. They're targeting people they know are most likely to be in Duckworth's fold in an attempt to annoy them enough to get them not to vote. People who hang up are immediately called back, and if you don't listen to the message the entire way through, it calls you back. Democratic campaign offices around the country have been flooded with calls from their own constituents and supporters telling them if they get another call about x candidate, they're not going to vote for x candidate anymore. It's a pathetic tactic, and it's also against the law. Republicans recently went to jail for something very similar that they did in '04 in an effort to suppress the vote. You might think it's "wasting money", but it's incredibly effective.. which is why they're spending so much time with it right before the election. For pennies they're able to have this system go around and harass voters they believe will vote for their opponent. Luckily after the elections are over, regardless of who wins, the Democrats will be going after this to the fullest extent of the law.. I'd be willing to bet we see Republicans find tens of millions of dollars for this, and jail time for some of the more seriously illegal offenses. | ||||

Sure I could turn off my TV but that would require personal responsibility on my part...I want someone else to take responsibility and get all the ads off all the channels instead. | ||||

| This has nothing to do with personal responsibility or hanging up, it has to do with voter intimidation (threatening arrest/criminal charges), suppression tactics, and harassment. | ||||
