DEMOCRATS SEND CEASE-AND-DESIST LETTER TO REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE OVER AUTOMATED PHONE CALLS TO VOTERS

[dirtboy]

Calls must be working if the Dems are this bent out of shape over it.

I suggest the Dems check the No-Call privacy laws - political calls are exempted.

[apillar]

I sure we will be more than happy to obey this order at about the time the polls close tommorrow night...

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Interesting. I've gotten one phone call from Laura Bush asking me to vote Republican, and about a DOZEN calls from the left pimping their causes.

Cease and desist, my @ss.

[JerseyHighlander]

Joe freakin Piscopo was on my answering machine today.

Shilling for Kean.

WTF is that about?

[BipolarBob]

I personally hate automated phone calls. I call for a cease-fire on both sides and we will all be happy.

Sign up, it's not too late, these calls can make the difference.

[baseballmom]

Ditto that, if the Philly suburbs.

[dfwgator]

The oldest MSM trick in the book. Take something that both parties do, and highlight only the Republicans doing it.

"DEMO SEND CEASE-AND-DESIST LETTER TO REPUBLICANS OVER AUTOMATED PHONE CALLS TO VOTERS"

And whose army? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[popdonnelly]

What's wrong with phone calls? Happens every election. Dems are children who refuse to grow up.

[newconhere]

Are you not allowed to do it? Either party?

[Keith in Iowa]

[magslinger]

The timing of this causes me to think that this is a last minute slam with no substance.

The Dems do that so well.

[mmyers]

While the dems are in cemetaries writing down names.

[rockthecasbah]

Automated calls? So I'm guessing this will form the basis of their legal complaint when and if they contest the election results...

[Maelstorm]

Exactly. Anytime you hear a Dem screaming it means you are being highly effective.

[Perdogg]

I just got one from a the democratic campaign trying to unseat Frank Wolf

[big'ol_freeper]

"I don't want to get any messages saying that, "We are holding out position." We're not holding anything! Let the Dems do that. We are advancing constantly and we're not interested in holding on to anything except the Dems. We're going to hold on to him by the nose and we're going to kick him in the ass; we're going to go through him like crap through a goose."

[kinoxi]

Setting up for fraud allegations after they lose.

[NraFreedom]

Wrong approach. Get a different attitude.

[cll]

What are they going to do? Take it to court overnight?

[Cicero]

I have to say that I have gotten a bunch of automated calls this past week, but I hang up before I know whether it is Democrats or Republicans. Frankly I find them extremely annoying, and I wonder if they really help?

[AmishDude]

What a biased website. Even I was surprised.

And I'm cynical.

Each and every "story" is from a Dem POV. They are laundering Dem talking points and press releases.

[South40]

I'm still boiling my telephone after receiving a phone call from bill klinton urging me to vote for California's Prop 87.

[appleharvey]

I've received 10 phone calls from "Fast Eddie" Rendell today, and I'm a registered Libertarian.

[hnj_00]

better to be shilling for kean than menendez!!!!!

[AmishDude]

No, they are going to bitch about it and have the MSM carry their water. ABC (are you reading this Mr. I-Wanna-Be-Fair-And-Balanced Halperin?) should be ashamed of themselves.

[Big E]

I hope you're right. I just made about 100 calls for the local GOP, and I don't think people are really receptive to the phone calls anymore. Everyone has gotten literally 50 calls over the past 3 months. I am in PA 6, where we have Santorum and Gerlach fighting to stay in office, so it's ground zero for phone calls. One man I talked to said that he just got a recorded call not 30 seconds before I called. Frankly I think the barrage of calls are pissing people off.

Make that 51 calls, John McCain just called me as I was typing this. Sigh. Oh well, back to headquarters to make more phone calls.

[proud2beconservativeinNJ]

Joe freakin Piscopo was on my answering machine today.

Mine too. I almost hung up before he delivered his message to support Kean.

I think I heard Rush made some calls too.

[Tall_Texan]

political calls are exempted.

I wish they weren't. Particularly now that interest groups cannot run tv ads (thanks, McCain), we get even more pestering phone calls. F them.

[Right Wing Assault]

My answering machine has been overheating. Lot of Dem calls, too. Some of theirs don't have any sound for about the first 15 seconds.

[RedRover]

EEEEUUUUUU!!!!!! I got a Clinton call too! Now my whole house no longer feels clean.

[AliVeritas]

Dumb question: For breaking news... it's sure taking a long time for the actual story to come out. I don't see it anywhere else.

[mrsmith]

Wow, a level 1 DNC mediafax:

"MUST GO ON AIR IMMEDIATELY, MUST BE INCLUDED IN ALL EVENING BROADCASTS, FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN UNION SHUTDOWN OF OPERATIONS!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION"

[Bringbackthedraft]

While the dems are in cemetaries writing down names. ...... Actually saw that in NY back in 2000. She had a "Hillary" sticker on the car too. Here in Fla. I received a call from John Mc Cain but when I had a question about what he said he had already hung up.

[Cicero]

A personal call is better than an automated call, and a personal call from someone you know is better yet.

I can't imagine that an automated call would change anyone's mind, but then I'm not a political pro.

[wjcsux]

RAT whine bump!

[Bogey78O]

That's the Clinton call. If you listen closely you can hear the heavy breathing.

[NutCrackerBoy]

Are they complaining about the content of these phone calls, or the volume? Looking at the ABC page, it looks like they have cherry-picked as many "Republicans are evil" non-stories to headline as they could find. Without any actual report behind it, this headline make it sound like Republicans are doing something wrong.

[toldyou]

I picked up the phone today to hear Bill Clinton. Unfortunately, I had just eaten lunch!

[wjcsux]

[Mugwump]

Piscopo? Feh! I've heard "personally," (gag, hack), from Shrillary, George Clooney, Rob Reiner, and I think Babs Streisand -- but I'm not sure.

Yeah. I'm sure of the others, though. I heard their names just as I blipped the messages!

[Jean S]

Nonsense, Republicans can't be doing that, they're too busy tampering with voting machines.

[mware]

Someone better tell these fake republicans to cease and desist.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/1732983/posts?q=1&&page=1

[Ingtar]

The only one I answered just had a live girl reminding me to vote. Mentioned nothing else.

[bigbob]

maybe in 24 hours they can cease and desist as a Party

[got_moab?]

I just got an automated call asking me to show up for a big rally tonight in support of Sheldon Whitehouse! Bill Clinton will be flying in for a 9pm rally tonight at a local community college. I thought I smelled desperation in the air this evening.

[mware]

Joe is an Italian Ameircan and was ticked off when the dems in jersey dissed Alito.

[Mrs. Shawnlaw]

No Kidding! Those prop 2 calls drove us nuts all summer!
