Just push-polled on immigration bill (vanity)

I believe I was just pushed pulled on the phone by pro-immigration lobby or someone of that nature. Answered the phone and it was a taped message. "Hello, I'm Joe, I would like to ask you a question regarding immigration. Are you in favor of aminesty? press 1; Are you in favor of making illigal immigrants US citizen if they pay fines, learn English, and do something else (cannot remember), press 2; Are you in favor of deporting illigal immigrants, press 3." I pressed 3 and was hung up on. That's it, no identifing who they were or who was doing the pulling. I live in SC and of course DeMint v Graham is a hot issue on this. Sen. DeMint was on local talk radio this morning trashing the immigration bill and Sen Graham's position on it.

Thought it was interesting that they are pulling people on this, yet try and call Senators' offices and it's a joke.

Senators crank calling again from their hidey-holes. Right now, Lott, Kennedy and Feinstein are laughing their butts off because they hung up on you.

Call the cops and report them for harrassing phone calls. Press charges. I offer myself as an expert witness on why the senators need to be incarcerated.

I would go way, way, out of my way to find out who is doing that poll, and who is paying for it. If you disagree with them, you can’t vote and they hang up on you. Which means that they already know what the outcome of their poll is going to be. Does anyone have ideas on how we an find out who this is?

Could you do a “*69” to redial the number and see what you get? OR if you have caller ID, call the number that showed up.

McCain looks like he’s trying out for the Long John Silver impersonators from the old Monty Python skit.

I already did that, blocked number of course. I wonder if anyone else out there has had this happen today or last few days, especially here in SC.

No, probably they didn’t want you in their sampling for the other questions (to bias the poll).
